Why I've decided not to buy, or own, SH5 (and I hope Ubi reads this) - Page 2

I boughjt SH5 because its fun to play . With the mods we have already its the best silent hunter game .

I fully believe that SH5 is the last sub sim UBI will make and I think they made that decision before releasing it.

Last month I bought two PC games that I have yet to play. I bought them because they will be the last PC games released by their respective developers. I wanted the last ones, since I refuse to buy a console.

I seriously think UBI and other companies are moving away from making PC games and looking for new horizons. Sub sims have been done and there isn't much room for future innovations.

So, if you don't buy SH5, don't look for an SH6 because I can't see it happening.

Schlehter Pfennig made a well aarticulate post, explaining a position widely shared by a lot of subsimmers. Ubi's attitude is not limited to SH. They have enraged a lot of other game enthusiasts.

As long as people vote with their wallets, and intelligent consumers always do, UBI is heading for the rocks.

Pfennig also shows how Ubi can protect its intellectual property without hurting the consummer.

Yeah, except most publishers, like Ubi, make their money from consoles, not the PC. Most of their current woes are due to poor Playstation catalog sales and their little feud with some company called Nintendo. The economy is bad. People just aren't buying games like they used to.

Sorry, but it is very clear that the DRM angst isn't even a blip on the RADAR.

hardly, the game has been out two months now, its only a handful of posters who are still obssessed with this issue.

most real subsimmers are playing a subsim, SH5 or something else, they dont spend all their time worrying about what games other adults play in their free time.

Yeah, I'm still amazed to see how obsessed they are. (not pointing the OP, only those who keep expressing their wrath over and over and over...)

For what it's worth, I've decided not to buy pizza tonight. It'll probably give me heartburn, which in turn will keep me up part of the night, and it's just plain unpleasant. Besides, I can save that money for the gay biker party on Friday. I wonder if the lovely Reece will be there?

I do rather think you are missing the point somewhat tonschk.

Bilge Rat was referring to the anti DRM crowd (sorry guys , it's not a dig I just can't think of a better way of describing you atm) - I have absolutely no idea what that has to do with your screenshots, or why you posted them.

I think he's trying to point out that the SH3 crowd wants SH3 with better graphics.

If that is the case then he's quoting BR out of context to get his point across.

Here's the whole quote
