Default SH5 is a JOKE!

You know this is a piss poor game when you need a MOD to fix it; what happened to my CONTROLS, UBI? SH5 looks and feels like a damn kiddy console game on my PC with 4 options; A, B, C, or D. SH5 is an absolute failure and I am/will be getting my CASH back for this massive mistake. It reminds me of what happened to Far Cry; UBI and DEV team butchered it and turned it into console crap. Add this dumb DRM to SH5 and it's a pure failure--how in the world could Neal Stevens NOT see this in his PREVIEW? Somebody, please tell me? How could the "so called expert" of submarine simulation not see that SH5 is a total abortion and software derailment of what was/should be expected in the NEXT installment of this great title

So, your first post here bashes the guy who runs the site? Why bother?

Welcome aboard... I think. Let me show you the engine room... just let me grab my duct tape first. I, uh, need it for something back there.

I trusted Neals judgement and BOUGHT the GAME--I feel betrayed--that's WHY; get a clue! All the other gaming sites don't give this title more than a 5! Now I completely understand why.

I just finished about 6 hours of sh-5 gameplay. And i,m wondering how can a jerk like you play sh-5 in the first place ? How about giving the software a chance without pulling your hair out? Take a chillpill. If that dont work ask your local doctor for some Valium.

UBI made it public months ago that there would be no player control in this version. At least that was my understanding, from what I've read.

SubSim hasn't reviewed SH5 yet.

LOL, yep the JOKE is on me; EVERYONE else knew this was going to be some kind of movie simulation. I thought the whole purpose of continuing a software title was to KEEP THE OLD GOOD stuff, and ADD some MORE GOOD stuff.

Example in point: Adobe CS4; All the OLD GOOD stuff is in it and anytime they IMPROVE on the TITLE (Adobe Photoshop), the user is not blindly fumbling around wondering how to use it.

Give it a new chance with this mod -> http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=163208.
I think that mod gives you the same 'control' as in SH3.
