Come on you've got to be excited??

rcjonessnp175 · 02-24-10, 11:18 AM

I understand thiers alot of debates about drm, but lets not talk about that in this thread lets talk about all the good things that are soon approaching. I dont know about you but being able to walk through the sub is going to be bad ass. Plus all the awesome creations from the modding community!!
This is by far one of my favorite series of games, my deployments overseas were and still are made better with alittle sub action in between ops and on those downtime days. I think we should stop all the rediculous amounts of negative posts when we dont even have the game yet, rest assured it will have its faults but the modding community here is by far the best ive ever seen with a game series.

Just my two cents been out of loop for a bit and was kind of surprised by all the threads in here, didnt seem like the old Subsim i remembered.

Happy sailing

I'm excited. I would be more excited if it was the PTO with fleets but I will get over that. Watching Neals videos made me see that the game has some great potential. Just the water and sky gave me the feeling of the cold, hard, dreary North Atlantic. Having to walk the ladders and walk to compartments instead of just clicking a key to get there changed the whole game. Certainly game play has changed just by this bit of new idea! Real time approach, attack and departure have become something that is a must IMO. Honestly, a vessel encounter could take days depending on how much time one could put in for playing. Honestly, I do a lot of TC. No reason now. Now you can enjoy the entire boat in RL as you approach plans are executed.

Sorry but... It's just a game.

Bingo! Go say that in one of the anti-DRM threads. See what kind of reception you get.

I was up until I learned it was being published as a "sim-ette"...only one sub and a portion of the war to mess around with. Then there is the other big issue that I will not mention by name. But if you get it I do hope you find it enjoyable.

The developers wanted to assure me, that although the interface is less "subsim-like" and the game is designed to be more approachable to new players with options like ship health bars and detection ranges, the simulation aspects have not been watered down.

Come on lads (and ladies)??

It might be a bit TOO polished (speach bubbles, highlighted men and dodgy animations) at the beginning and possibly a bit "arcadey" with the digital read-outs etc BUT just look at the series as a whole!!

Once the brilliant modders got their grubby little hands on both SH III and SH IV, the sim CAME ALIVE!!

Just give it a bit of time and patience and the true beauty and sheer immersion of the new SH V will become apparent once the mods come flowing through!!!!

I too was a little dissapointed with the DRM aspect but lets all just give it a fighting chance because me personally, i'm really, really looking forward to the potential fantastic future this series could (and will) turn out to have!!!

Mike.

PS: anybody have a spare GTX 295 lying around for the full gfx experience??

Time for an excuse to buy a new GFX card (of the FERMI variety)!!

To me that Sums up the series well, The game is rather poor out the box, not forgetting the many Bugs that will be spotted on day one some minor others game stoppers possibly. When did I really enjoy the series last when the last one I bought SH III was heavily Modded after probably a year after release. The Smoke, Water, Harbour traffic, Torpedo trails, improved Ship Ai, Better Dials and Sound and the list goes on and on. The Mod’s made SH III that’s for sure.

Has to come to this, that the game Company’s are relying on after Mod’s from hard working dedicated fans to finish off there game. That’s Sad and why partly my New PC from overclockers is on hold till something does come out that excites me like Carrier Command.

My plan if I buy it is six months or a year down the line when you can pick it up cheap and the Mods have done some great work.

Not much yet to get really excited about for a button pusher. We have some eyecandy aspects and a couple of previews. I will read what you guys have to say about it on day X.

Iron Budokan · 02-24-10, 12:08 PM

Not really excited. I admit I'm curious to see what the overall impression of this game will be once it's released, however.

But excited? Frankly, no.

Prolly about the best way to explain my feelings on the subject as well.

I am, however, excited to be getting a new computer in the next few days.

Fantasm · 02-24-10, 03:11 PM

I WAS excited.... then I looked at the recent news and to be honest, as much as I'd like to buy the game, I don't think I have the Internet service to play it. After that, anything else is unimportant. Mine drops too often, and I'm capped, so I watch my usage. I'm not going to spend the bucks to get frustrated and find out it won't play well for me or that it will cause me overage charges to play it.
Prior to that revelation, I was excited, I have a good system, dual graphics cards, huge monitor and I was drooling for it... now, I'll probably buy a couple of cases of beer instead...

But keep an eye on it. To be sure, DRM is not forever in most cases.

Hmm, not really too intrested/ exited about SH5, all it seems to be is graphics, with a crew thingy, and a newish campaign scheme...
