Who has cancelled their order!

[Reece]

Well after a lot of reading through "The SH4 Bug Thread" have decided to do the wisest thing at this point, cancelled my pre-paid order for SH4 collectors edition at EB, for AU$100 is not worth it for all the bugs it has, from very bad sound problems to CTD's trying to use stadimeter, men turning to paper thin 2D characters, convoys crossing the Japan mainland, chunky graphics, missions you can never complete!! etc etc!!! Was so looking forward to this, what a huge disappointment!

[stabiz]

I tried. Unfortunately I was too late, as the next morning I had a "Your order has been shipped" email. Oh, well.

[CCIP]

I personally find it silly to judge a game from a ragtag collection of others' reports, but suit yourself.

I think the problem is that those who like the game are too busy playing to post, leaving mostly the negative side exposed for now :p

[flintlock]

Not I.

I decided to go into battle, bloodied and all! Seriously though, sure it has bugs and perhaps unfinished in areas, but you know Ubi will patch it up and it will hopefully it shall continue to improve as time passes. If you try hard enough, you can find fault in anything. I say reorder it, load it up and enjoy it anyway. Life's too short to sweat the small stuff.

Regardless, good luck with your decision -- whatever it may be.

nope, no game is perfect, thats what patchs and mods r for

I cancelled my order from Amazon,,not to bug issues though,,( hey,,big time beta tester here ),,no I cancelled due to ridicoulse "pushed" forward delivery dates,,estimated new delivery date: 7 - 14 April....

I have a Walmart Supercenter around the corner here and a Best Buy close...

Nope. No game is perfect. But when it come to using deceptive practices, high resolutions upscaled from a low 1024x768 resolution(a first in the game industry), and then making it clear that they know they are deliverying the game in an unfinished state(promised units would be in the imperial system and metric 'might' be offered as an option) is where I draw the line.

I'm only listing the main reasons as to why I'm not giving them my money. If you want to see the myraid of bugs/problems with the game then please go through the other posts in the forum. I'm not going to make a big lengthy list here, someone else can if they want to.

To me they are making it very clear they want our money for an unfinished game. I don't like being lied to and I will not hand over my money to the Decepticons.

I had pre-ordered my copy from the Subsim link to Amazon but I canceled it once I learned that the higher resolutions that are advertised are only 'upscaled' from 1024x768... a first in the industry that says to me, "let's see what we can get away with".

I want to add something... some folks might be wondering why somone like me would still be hanging around here. It's because I still hold out hope. For how long, I don't know.

But my hope is that Ubi will actually come out and say something! And of course I'm hoping that they will say that they will fix the resolutions to actually be what's advertised, instead of just upscaled. And that they promise to finish the game.

But alas:

They avoided the question about whether the game supported Anti-Aliasing prior to release. It's really a pretty simple question to answer. They could have shown some guts by answering it. But nope. And they certainly could have said something about the two issues I listed above by now. But no, they are in hiding, hoping that as many people will hand over their money before they explain that they will not be fixing these issues.

Decepticons I tell you. Where is Optimus Prime when we need him?

I can certainly appreciate your frustration on this point. I still don't have the game, so I'll judge this for myself once I can test it. Though from what I've read, this has got to be, by far, the single largest gripe many people have with SH4 thus far. With any luck, hopefully this may get sorted out in time.

I remain hopeful that there is some bug or other underlying issue at work here.

Still looks pretty damn good for upscaled graphics...




pic still dont give it justice, my bro was watchin me play, in that scene and he said it looked like a painting.

[flintlock]

Upscaled or otherwise, I'll concede that is a nice image.

[stabiz]

The sea does, but the sub doesnt.

[Ducimus]

I preordered, and am keepiing that preoder for one,... no.. two very simple reasons:


1.) I like sub sims.

2.) Im so burnt out on SH3, the degree of this burnout defy's all description. For me, there is no place to move, but forward with Sh4. I will deal with the bugs while i wait patiently for a patch or two, and maybe even flavor the game to my taste .

thats how i feel as well, sims ... let alone sub sim are very rare, because they take a lot more brains then those shot em up games. Less people have the patience for them. But i love them ever since i came across sh2 by mistake at a local walmart.

So yea am goin to support them, of course the product isnt 100%, but its close, with a patch here and there it will be up to snuff. Dont count them out yet.

As I get more familair with SH4, I'm liking it more and more. We should here about a patch soon that will fix the major issues. SH3, SH2, SH1 all had bugs and unfinished features and were upgraded and patched. Don't any of you fellows remember the sub vs sub and rescue pilot missions that were in the SH1 manual but not in the game, until they released the Patrol disc #1?

Hey, it comes down to one thing: how much you like submarine games. To hell with Ubisoft's politics and promises, just gimme the game.

On another note, with Elite Hunter's help,
