SHO Rush to SH5

Just a simple discussion.

I wonder if SH3 and SH4 success was what prompted Ubisoft to rush through SH5?

Great game except I miss the Type IX boats.

I appreciate all the modders work here, and I'm not bitchin' about not having a Typr IX boat, rather, I'm complaining because it seems to me that they rushed this out, without consideration. Seems they reached the point on the Type VII boats, everything was working realitively fine, and they boxed it up and sent it out.

Opinions?

In two words?

Promising but still unfinished.

It is like guys at Ubisoft Romania had plenty of ideas and energy, and then someone or something stopped them abruptly, when they were middle way from the complation of their project...

I partly disagree here: SH5 is a labor of love in his conception but then business had to step in, and spoiled everything. I am sure devs were as disappointed as the gamers community at the result.

little space for argumenting here.

Even SH5 lovers have to agree on the lamentable state of the game at the time it was released. The one debate that may arise (and it does, every so often ), is the one dividing the two factions of the (justly) disillusioned on one side and, on the other side, the masochists who exchanged the tedious bugfixing process for their hobby... Indeed, I sided with the masochists: we come in the world for suffering

Feels the same way to me.
