Silent hunter 5 is terrible! (merged)

[Coldcall]

If its that bad just go get a refund. This has got to be the easiest game to take back to a store considering the DRM issues.

But i think calling it the worst game ever is a a huge exaggeration.

And you dont think the graphics are good? Maybe you need some new glasses old-timer :-)

It really is that bad.

Ubisoft's new generation of children have taken a brilliant (if flawed) WWII sub sim and totally ruined it.

It really is that bad.

How could these young guns take such an epic grasp of WWII u-boat warfare and do such a travesty of the atmosphere, interface, indeed everything, including the graphics? (The crew from SH3 moved me..these new clowns of a crew make me want to join the Royal Navy). You had the gold already and went with the bronze, fools.

I spent over $90 of my pension money on this cow-pat universe of ****e and as a result forwent a new battery for my little 19 foot sailing boat.

True.

This is the last Ubisoft game I ever buy, you crooks.

From an old salt.

Also, after I deleted this piece of robbery I played SH-3 (grey wolves...thank you people here so much) one last time. Then I deleted the lot and went sailing without a motor.

Maybe you need to try Bad Company 2, Mass Effect 2, or brother called Assasins Creed 2 ...etc.

This is year 2010 and graphics is average for a PC title.

Of course, if you compare it with poor old SH3 it is "great".

Clouds, sun, torp. explosion&splash, faces, ...it is not a " PC premier league "...

Ive played ME2 and its graphics are no great shape. Not tried the others.

However you are talking apples and oranges. Those are proper first/third person games. For maritime grpahics i have never seen better, more realistic looking than in SH5.

If you could show me a naval sim that has same quality graphics I'll buy it (if the gameplay is decent).

El Sid,

They are releasing another patch so it shows they are working on this game.

Take your copy back for a refund. Wait about 1 year. Repurchase for 1/5th the cost and enjoy with no DRM and maybe a better game.

Worst game I bought was Far Cry 2. Lots of advertising done and the result was a boring, repetive shooter.

I think, once all the glaring bugs and mistakes are gone, SH5 will become a great sim. We may have to wait half a year or so.

Cheers

I agree with ya, El Sid --> SH5 is a real POS at the moment. It's unplayable for this old subsimmer too. Game play sux. Realism sux. As released, it is an unfinished major step backwards in many respects from SH3. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone at all as-is.

Personally, I am still having a blast playing a heavily modded SH3/GWX. I've shelved SH5. Dunno when I'll try it again, but it will not be until after it is patched. Knowing UBI, I'll be shelving it again after the patch fails to fix basic flaws.

HOWEVER, I agree with everyone who sees the potential for SH5. Potential seems incredible! Like many, I believe that in a couple of years, once it has been patched and modded ad-nauseum, it will be an awesome game playing experience that will finally best SH3/GWX/SH3Commander.

Unless it was deleted without a noted edit, I see no personal attacks in his post.

Is attacking a piece of software is now getting personal?

[Skyraptor]

I agree. What personal attack are you talking about?
