installed or uninstalled? actively playing? plans?

minsc_tdp · 06-13-07, 05:05 PM

I'm curious who has it installed, or uninstalled, actively playing or actively waiting, etc. Personally, I have it installed but never play, waiting for 1.3.

Capt. Shark Bait · 06-13-07, 05:26 PM

yup, playin upwards of 10hrs on my night's off and a 2-3 when i'm not and don't have to ber there before 2000hrs. infact, last night i sank 3 DDs and a transport, all within 500yrds range

. wasn't easy either

I don't have it installed, but mostly because I didn't get around to it since my broken PC was restored last week, and I decided to revisit SHIII and get back into the WaW campaign for it. Otherwise it will be on soon enough with a slightly-customized version of RFB on it. 1.3 will be nice, but I'm not waiting on it specifically to play. In fact I might not play for a while when 1.3 is out, to wait for mods to catch up and help convert some of them to 1.3 standard perhaps.

You need to add "Installed, playing but also waiting for 1.3 & beyond".

Not all of us are happily playing but are playing just the same and waiting.

Mines actually stopped playing lately got bored and waiting until 1.3 and even then might not play for a while, real life keeps intruding.

I get a couple of hours in every day. Happily playing!

Installed, playing, happily awaiting 1.3

Oh forgot to ask how is Boo doing ?

Voted: Haven't bought it yet; will reconsider at patch 1.3

The only reason I didn't vote for the bottom choice is that it seems too final. The way Ubi has treated the simmers here and other buyers, though, makes me want to not buy mainly for that reason.

I've followed the threads here closely since the SH4 release and I'm feeling like I'd rather just pass on Ubi products now. I got a check for my B-Day in early May and with this SH4 stuff perhaps it's better to think of my two daughters and use the check for them instead. This way Ubi has to scrounge that much harder to make up for the $50 U.S. I didn't spend and make up for the Ubi games I'll pass up in the future. Wouldn't it be nice to see a pc game company know you can make a profit AND treat its customers in a respectful way?

nikimcbee · 06-13-07, 11:55 PM

rarely play, back sh3 for me.

Reaves · 06-14-07, 12:11 AM

I guess i'm currently rarely playing it. It is playable right now and I enjoy it when I do play but you just have to look at what is intended to be fixed in 1.3 to see why I'm waiting for it.

Currently going through some of my older games to pass the time. I'm having a bit of fun playing Black and White 2.

azn_132 · 06-14-07, 12:51 AM

My SH4 is uninstalled waitin for the 1.3 patch, then ill reinstall it again.

The immersion factor is everything in a sim like this and it was so heavily compromised by all the problems that everytime I play (rarely), I find myself looking for faults and not enjoying the experience enough. SH4 was/is a lemon. That's not to say all the hard work some of the dev team put in was for nothing. Hopefully, if there is a SH5 (depends on sales), they've learn't from their mistakes and will build a new sim from the ground up.

From all we've heard form the Devs I've been given the impression that they are unwilling to admit there even was/is a serious problem. I just don't think 1.3 will save our souls.
