What's next?

Well, what a month it's been for Silent Hunter V news. A limited selection of ONE U-boat, a limited time in the war, and limited to playing while connected (be honest, which we all are 99% of the time

).

What's next? I wonder if Ubi has any more pleasant surprises for us?? Maybe Germany wins the war? Maybe a cameo by Churchill as the cook?

Wow Neal even you are starting to sound a little negative now.

As long as the server doesn't crash on a Friday night at the start of the weekend we should be good to go.

What's next? Customers paying to keep their servers online, a feature they forced on them in the first place.

yep

$5 per month surcharge for server use.

so, a $60 game, over the course of 3 years play, translates to... $240

nice.

Next, you will have to purchase a USB3.0 credit card reader, so you can pay immidiately for your subscription to the Ubisoft servers....

AVGWarhawk · 01-26-10, 03:08 PM

I suspect add-ons. It is something that has happened for years. Seems to be catching up to UBI perhaps. Buy a sub, buy a theater. Snorkels for sale in six months.

Come on, think the uboat struggle ends in 43? Just started and a large part of the simulation.

flakmonkey · 01-26-10, 03:09 PM

Paying for ingame assets i guess...

20000 reichsmarks per torpedo, wheres my credit card.......

Hitman · 01-26-10, 03:10 PM

That's very easy:

next is me rediscovering my old and abandoned weekend hobbies like motorcycle riding (And mantaining, 2 strokes are a b*tc you know ), hill climbing, adn sailing. Looks like I will have again plenty of my spare time in the near future, so thanks UBI for giving me a reason to drop my cholesterol again to reasonable levels.

The SH5 boats automatically implode when you hit 165 meters

Nawww...they EXPLODE with lots of fire.

MaciejK · 01-26-10, 03:38 PM

No. The energy bar starts to go down slowly. Once you're back above 165 it recovers.
