Default Thanks Devs

I finished a mission earlier this afternoon where I had to insert an Intel Agent into enemy territory. The mission went well, and there were some breathtaking sunsets and sunrises along the way. I even found a nice, juicy convoy to attack after completing my designated mission and I played cat and mouse with a couple of Jap Destroyers.

To anyone who says that this game is either not worth the money or is unplayable, I think you should step back and really look at the great things that are in SH4 (1.2) instead of complaining about some things that are not or that need patching.

My last mission was a lot of fun and beautiful to look at.

Like most of you, I hope for additional patches to fix known issues, but if no more patches were to ever come, patched to 1.2 this game is worth every penny in my opinion.

I can only imagine what Dan and his Dev team would have achieved with a realistic production schedule from Ubisoft for this game.

Many thanks.

Yeah, I am certainly glad I bought it!

Last night some of the beautiful visuals I saw took my breath away. Nothing has ever come close to looking this good in a sub game.

I'm with you guys. Even if my convoy AI and radar doesn't get fixed, I'll still be happy. Just not as happy as I would be.

Thank you!

... Clears her throat, well said. Having a blast of fun at this end, too. Nice to see a positive comment for a change of pace. Dial 9-1-1. I think that positive folks like TDK1044 are in harms way. Round up the usual suspects, play it again Sam.

Yea, I know what you mean, I cringed when I saw the words 'accellerated development schedule' in Neal's first preview for the game; I knew it was going this way...

On the other hand, I totally think the game was worth everything, and I invested more into it than the average user, buying multiple copies and upgrading my system to run the game better - and that's not mentioning the time with modding and tweaking that I spend with it. People who think it wasn't worth $50 need to re-evaluate what their $50 would get them otherwise.

I've already spend many many hours with it and look forward to hundreds more. Even if this is the end of the official development road (please say it isn't so!), I'll still be playing this one months and years later.

tbh I payed £25 for my amazon collectors edition which is a very cheap game. Most top drawer games go from £35 to £40. So either way its great value, especially since I believe this is a top drawer game too

Same here. In all reality, I'm fine with it and it's current state. Visuals are great and there is great potential here.

In spite of the bugs, I've been playing the daylights out of it. There are plenty of dirty dishes & laundry to attest to it.
