What do you feel about SH5 now?

Now, that some time has already passed, there was two patches released already, I think it's a good time to express your feelings about the latest SH5 title. Therefore, I propose a few possible answers:

1. I love this game, it's my dream come true!
2. It's not bad, it can be improved by UBI
3. It's not bad, it can be improved by modders
4. It's not bad, but it's not good either
5. It's a total fiasco
6. I haven't bought this game, but I will probably buy it
7. I haven't bought this game and I will probably not buy it

Maybe they are not totally covering the possible feelings about SH5, but at least, they can give us an idea about the perception of the game in this community after some time has already passed since the game was released. It can have some relevance. For example, we can make ourselves an idea about the numbers of potential customers UBI has lost, the numbers of customers totally satisfied by UBI, the trust that we have regarding UBI support in patches or some other interesting stuff. I know that most of you probably voted two moths ago in a similar poll, but I believe this is a better moment to do that. And I will not vote in this poll, I will let the others to do that, I don't want someone to say that I am trying to influence the final results.

Please note that this is a public poll, other users can see what you've voted (I think it's honest that way) and also that this poll is only for the game itself, not for the DRM stuff. And if you think that one choice of answer is not enough, you can select multiple ones, for example: "It's not bad, it can be improved by UBI" and "It's not bad, it can be improved by modders". The ones that are not afraid to take the responsibility of their answer, are invited to participate in this poll.

Thank you for your feedback in advance, gentlemen!

Total fiasco!

Until the DRM is eliminated the game can be pure gold and it will STILL be a case of a game company treating us like criminals and asking us to trust them to continue to run a miserly three servers. Trust is a two way street and I don't trust 'em. End of story.

If I understand right, you will not buy the game not because of its supposed bugs and other related gameplay problems, but because of the DRM. Thank you for your feedback.

My position is also unchanged.

[danlisa]

Unchanged!

I'll support the game in my own way but UBI will not be getting money out of me for this diabolical release. It's been poor (to say the least) from it's concept.

You should really have an option for "it's not bad it an be fixed by the modders & Ubi" as in truth there are many hard coded things modders alone simply cannot fix. The real question is, if it is true that Ubi have abandoned the game (and we still have no official confirmation of that) how do we get them to come back & the core fixes needed?

Anyone can vote "it can be improved by UBI" and "it can be improved by modders", both options, "combined".

It's a great game that will continue to get even better. Not any more of a fiasco than any other pc release lately. It's people freaking out here that make it seem like a fiasco.
Cheers,

That would be why I voted for both.

I'd love the DRM to go away, too. I bought the software legit'ly. I installed it legit'ly. I have a good constant online connection, so as long as Ubi's servers stay up, it doesn't affect me on a practical level. That being said, it deeply offends me on a moral and ethical level.

Well, easy: few of the things promised and highly anticioated features (wolfpacks, etc.) work properly, plenty of remnant features of SHIII don't work as they used to either, lots of stuff I had gotten so used to and made SHIII+GWX such a gem have been dropped out entirely (Type II, IX, XXI, later years, the baracks etc, crew losses etc). Patching and support does occur at a bare minium level, and if I had bought it, I would be really angry now, probably feel quite stupid and cheated. Ubi is not any better than the people they aimed the DRM chains at -- oh, ups, they aimed at the loyal customers (and resellers), I forgot.

Hey, but you can walk through your underpopulated, overscaled submarine interior all day long, don't even have to care about submarine warfare and get soup all along! And yeah, it has so beautiful graphics! Especially when you see the screenshots of ships running on shore, or running through each other... /sarcasm end/.

I guess there is, thus far, only one possible conclusion...

I totally agree with your signature, but as I have stated before, I only want to emphasis the subjective perception of this community regarding SH5. And after the poll will be over, I will draw myself a personal subjective conclusion regarding the material that the members of SH5 forums are made of, if I can say that ...

•SH4 ships can now be imported (useful for modders).
•Improvements in the reward system for U-boats in the dynamic campaign
•Improvements to the AI
•Changes to accommodate RU localization will therefore be present in patch 1.2, but will not affect players in a visible form.

Right now I'm still amazed that these were dropped from the patch - pretty crucial IMO.

I'll be playing SH3 GWX3 for the foreseeable future....

[Sailor Steve]

I know you said it's not about DRM, but in spite of all the problems that is still the only thing keeping me from buying it. I've been in private discussion with a couple of modders who are working on it, and I'm still looking forward to doing so myself.

So I will definitely buy it once the OSP is removed.

That's what I did but it won't do your post poll analysis any good.
