Neal must know people "on the inside"... a day after his post here they release Patch #2.

I actually forgot this was due out this month. Spotted it for the first time in a Game shop today. I picked it up and debated buying it. It was only £19.99. I remembered how buggy SH games have been on release and put it back.

Reading various reviews has show me that that was perhaps the wisest choice. I refuse to simply support the developers by buying a bug-ridden game that I might be able to play in 6 months or a year.

I will check back here from time to time and see how things are going.

Hmmm... am I starting to feel sick?

You are definitely looking pale. I think you should take the rest of the day off and "rest".

Crank time compression up to 1024, and you'll be there in no time.

NOOOO!!! He'll crash his car before he gets there! It won't tell him the light changed, and it won't drop to 1x until it's too late!

Thanks for the review. It has pretty much reinforced my views on buying SH5.

I was going to have to build a new PC to get this to run properly, which I was prepared to do. However I think I will wait and see what happens about patches and what 'super' mods become available before I buy.

I'm sure that in time this will be THE subsim to play, it's just a question of how long until that happens and until then I will continue to play SH3 GWX. The GW crew did such a good job on SH3, I can't wait to see what they do for SH5.

Indeed. Especially considering the fact that they dissolved the SH4 crew in order to devote their efforts to SH5. Cant wait. But I think Ill have to for the foreseeable future.

Ok. I

found

a small merchant convoy in shallow water.

How do do i know depth under keel

.

Improvised. Sunk it. Now to get back on course

. How do i tell em that.

A LOT of missing commands on my end but the game got great potential.

If only you could mix Sh5 with Sh3 and make a great soup of it.
Bit too easy on the game Neal. 62/100 i would say

Hi, recently I see Das Boot Movie and it's

I interested to buy Silent Hunter 5, but all that I read about it say that's very buggy and at end of your review (Mar 17, 2010 by Neal Stevens) you say "Would I recommend buying SH5? No...."

Its time to buy it?

UBI already make his job?

Wait for the $5 dollars promo in the Steam Store?

Thanks

(My first post

)

Necro'd a Necro, nice!

It's definitely worth buying, but don't get it from Steam, pay the $9 to get the DVD off Amazon or something. Steam has a lot of problems with regards to modding, and modding is ESSENTIAL.

Many of the bugs that plagued SH5 way back when have been fixed. The modding community has fixed many more and improved and expanded the game into a very playable and enjoyable state.

Ubisoft has basically completely abandoned the product. You do still need to log in online to start the game, but you no longer need to be connected constantly to play it.
