SH5 forum news

I hope you've had time to read my announcement: Please read: SH5 forum etiquette

You can beat up on me here, I hope everyone understands I'm why I'm asking for your cooperation. Not trying to be bossy, but the DRM issue is a couple weeks old. We should save some of our outrage for when the game is actually released, too.

Your point is a very fair one, Neal.

Personally, I'm very disappointed at Ubisoft for turning away from a sim based series, and making Silent Hunter 5 an obvious arcade game..... based on all the videos/screenshots currently released.

That, in and of itself, wouldn't have been that big a deal. It would just have been a case of dealing with a buggy arcade game that the modders would have to work even harder on in order to get it somewhere near where the members here would want it. The plus for the modders being how modable the game is .......allegedly.

The salt in the wound though is Ubisoft making the game playable online only. At that point, my disappointment transitioned to anger. To put a buggy online arcade game on the market, and expect simmers to pay $50 for it.....Forget it.

It's targeted at the wonderful casual gamers. Let them pay for it. We'll buy it later down the line when it's $10, patched, and playable offline.

I'm over the 'don't bite the hand that feeds you' theory. Time to let this arrogant, unprofessional publisher know we feel.

Thank you Neal. I understand (and feel a bit of) all of the anger, but it gets tiresome reading the same gripes from the same people in every single thread, no matter what the topic.

I agree, it's just good general internet forum etiquette to stick to the topic of the thread when posting. No one should beat up on you for expecting that.

DRM is clearly a huge and important issue, undoubtedly the biggest at
the moment, so it is natural that so many threads have been created
about it and that those threads are full of posts.

That said, I agree that topics not concerning DRM should not be invaded
by DRM discussion; that's just impolite.

I agree. Too much talk about DRM, but is there anything else to post about? Maybe if Ubi gave us more info about the game, it would help move on from the DRM issue. The way it is now, everything (DRM included) is old story.

The link doesn't link to anything. Actually it's not even a link.

(You said we could beat up on you)

Onkel Neal · 02-06-10, 11:45 AM
