I will wait for SH5 to finish baking by the modders

I went out and bought this game on release day, like most all of you did. While the game looks fantastic it is still rather "raw". We all know it's major failing points so I won't list them out here. I am going to put this one back on my game shelf and wait for the fantastic modders of the community to work their magic and make this game what we all know it SHOULD be. Until then, I will play SH4 (modded to perfection) and remain ever optimistic. I will eventually see you on patrol.

CHEERS to all!

Well thats the what UBI is doing as i see. Releasing the unfinished game and let the modders to fix it. And demand us to buy original game. For what?

Yea.. I see the promise, but it's junky arcade nonsense in its current state.. I have already gone back to SHIV and will come back when the very talented modders have had their way with it and it can be savored properly

On that note: thanks to you the modding community you have taken what were medeocre games at release and made them something truely amazing!

But there's a bunch of us here who urge us to buy it regardless of quality, otherwise they fear there will never be another ww2 submarine 'simulator'.

Sticking with SH 4 myself.Only big thing SH 4 needs is more interior which some started but were unable to finish.

That's a good point about Ubisoft being paid for the modders cleanup work. That's not cool...

I tried the game for two days then gave up and uninstalled it. I'll give it a shot again in six months after the mods do their good stuff and Ubisoft releases how many ever patches they'll need to make it work right.

I don't understand how Ubisoft could release such an incomplete and poorly designed product. They used to be the standard of quality. Now, after the weak SHIV release and now this mess with SH5, I will never buy a Ubisoft product again until I have the opportunity to read game website and user reviews.

Exactly as 141st_Alper says! Why should they collect the money and hard working modders do all the work? Better to not buy the game at all until it comes out in the bargain bin. If you need a sub sim fix then SH3 with mods is still the ultimate. Now of course I don't expect a company game to be 100% as we'd like, as time and money restrictions will mean shortcuts and simplifications even at the best of times. It's not like Ubisoft will hire a team to take years to trawl through databases and history and tweak the settings in the game to make it as good as possible and as realistic as possible. They'd never release a game that way!

What we should though expect is at least a finished product with at most minor bugs that will be an enjoyable and believable experience out of the box! This is what Ubisoft has NOT been doing at all throughout the SH series.
