Clearly the most disturbing time ever to be a Subsim member

skookum · 01-14-10, 09:45 AM

I can't remember a time where more people complained, moaned and otherwise posted such negative sentiment about any subject in these forums. C'mon guys! It's a game. A hobby. Games and hobbies are supposed to be fun. Otherwise we find other games to play and other hobbies to pursue.

Silent hunter 5 is almost here! It's going to rule. It's going to be cuckoo bananas! YAY!

I can remember the last time it was all doom and gloom.....the release of SH4, before that it was SH3........(can you see the pattern).

For the long term members here, it's actually quite funny seeing the same cycle every time a SH title is in development.

LOL the worst time I ever was in fact after the release of SH2

For all those complaining and bitching around, they should get in march 2010 Sh2 as it was "outtadabox" and we would have a good laugh seeing them crying for a bugged Sh5

and lets not forget the talk of a class action lawsuit against ubisoft because sh4 was full of bugs

ACTUALLY

the most disturbing time ever to be a subsim member is during

1. A power outage that leaves you without internet connection

2. A server Fire which leaves you without connectivity to Subsim.com

3. A motherboard melt down which results in no computer to connect to the internet with

01-14-10, 12:33 PM

While we're at it, lets mention the "Mod Wars" and the "Right, that's it, i'm leaving" statements and "hey, you stole my apple image" and and and.....sigh, so many happy memories.

Hey...where's Gizzmoe? If we really want to relive SHIII then Gizz is a must!!!!

Great times in Subsim history

Shock and awe that comes from being bumped into a new forum

SH2: What have I done to deserve this?? (Note: Rommel McDonald was the SH2 Assoc. Producer

)

More SH2 woes: the agnst!

The first SH2 interview, where I get tricky and try for a clever play on words, "Innerview"...first major FAIL.

The SH2 beta preview; note, the game was very close to being cancelled at this point. VERY close, and with it, the Silent Hunter franchise would have gone the way of Duke Nukem... Haha, at the time (early 2002) this was considered a major step forward inself: "SH2 is a Windows stable product and that means no more boot disks or archaic DOS configurations".

The beginning of SH3 madness

This piece was written by Drebbel in Germany at a games show: "Tiberius surfaced close to a convoy and and panned around, showing the convoy from the bridge point of view. Seeing the convoy on the horizon and the lookouts on the U-boat bridge was a very impressive and immersive sight. It created a great atmosphere and I immediately got the feeling of 'being there'. "

Hope you enjoy these tidbits

Now, look at this: A dissatisfied SH2 customer starts to scratch his head on how to build in a semi-dynamic campaign in Silent Hunter 2

: http://www.subsim.com/phpBB_2002/vie...c=5629&forum=1

... and nearly succeeding: http://www.subsim.com/phpBB_2002/vie...c=6139&forum=1

LOL, when I hear now people bitching about what Sh5 will or will not have, it almost makes me cry

Agreed. This happens every two years or so. Old hat.
