Default Rather pleased

I've tried not to read to much of the complaining around here even though there seems to be a lot of it! I've gotten my $50 worth in the five or so hours I've spent playing SH5. Didnt' have to upgrade my two year old game machine to do it either other than a video driver. Even the manual TDC isn't all that bad. Got my first manual kill the other night. Quit your B!%^ing bunch o girls! SH5 will just keep getting better!
Ahoy......

I'm pleased you are enjoying it. I myself read a lot of the comments from those lucky enough to have the 'early releases' and what I read in no way compared to what I played, you just can't form an opinion of what the game is like from reading descriptions of it.

When your crew stops responding because you lost morale when you saved and your ships aren't sinking because of the HP arcade damage system and you can't play at all because the Ubisoft servers are down all weekend long when you're ready to play, THEN you can pull out the 'stop whining' card.

Till than, I'm happy you're having good luck in your first 6 hours, but don't act like there's nothing to complain about please.

Yeah, that's a great example of why you shouldn't let other people try to tell you that you aren't really enjoying the game, you only think you are temporarily. If you've gotten $50 of enjoyment out of it, then nothing will change that, no matter how large a font they post in.

And you don't sound happy Kylania, you really do sound bitter. By all means, if you haven't enjoyed the game, then don't let anyone else tell you that you really are enjoying it, but you just don't know it yet.

It's funny how different people have different views on the value of money. Personally I don't understand how you can get 50$ worth out of a video game, in only 5 hours... but that's just me. I guess it's all relative (to the size of our wallets).

Well, that's $10 an hour, so what costs $10 that you could do in an hour, that people enjoy?

What really gets me vexed is, that some of this bitching comes from folks, who haven't even played the game yet. I mean, if you've had your way with the game for an hour or two, please, rant all you want. Right of free speech is a beautiful thing, but don't just repeat, what you read or heard somewere!

Youll change your tune once you run into problems with your saves either being corrupted to the point you cant play them, or when they revert to a save you made from several days prior.

Now that is a very open ended question ... lol

On a more serious note though, I can understand how his tune may change if he is unlucky enough to be affected by some of the more nasty bugs or can't log on to the authentication servers like some people have troubles with.

And honestly, I bet his 'got his money's worth' is based on it continuing to work. I doubt (I admit, I could be wrong) if the game stopped working now for him now and never worked again he may be less then enthused about his 'money worth'. Not that this is likely to happen, just saying ...

But ya, it is great to see it is working for some people

I payed $10 for the book I've been reading for the last two weeks, and I'm halfway through it. I've purchased more than one DVD for that price, and if it's a movie I like I'll watch it at least ten hours' worth.

I've probably gotten five hundred hours' enjoyment from Silent Hunter 3.

If he's already got his money's worth, he will always have got his money's worth - unless someone manages to convince him that he really wasn't enjoying the game, even though he actually thought he was. I do see some people that are saying that they are enjoying the game, being targetted by a certain group of people to try to convince them that they REALLY aren't enjoying the game and just they wait until...

If someone is enjoying the game, let them. Don't let your own negative view try to deliberately spoil the enjoyment of someone playing the game. That's just mean! Because you aren't having fun, no one should? Well, I'm sorry, but that's just really mean spiritted. If you aren't enjoying the game, then I'm sorry for you, but I don't think it's acceptable that people try to convince other people that they aren't enjoying the game that they actually are enjoying.

Once your savegames are wiped out, the game will lose its supposed value to him.

The guy made the post, leaving himself open to other peoples viewpoints. If he didnt want them he would of never made the post. So your comments are worthless and empty. Stop trying to police the internets, you wont win buddy.
