lol, touchy...
If you want a true hardcore subsim, but not paying up, then it will never happen. The more you support the game, the better the chance you will eventually. Your choice... You can say you would pay double but from a marketing point of view, Ubi has clearly no wish to make the price twice as high. The risk will grow, and the revenue likely diminish with even less people paying up. So why not pay up half now, and another half in a year with the next expansion  Same deal... and they have the cashflow to keep going...Additionally, I can't name ANY software product that does not have a bug (I'm pretty sure NASA's software has bugs too ), yet we all work daily with computers, mobiles, tv, consoles, cars, kitchen appliances, electriticy, etc, and alot of times when something fails, if it's not human error, it's a hardware or software issue... (which actually also is human error  ) But we still buy, buy, buy... But NOOOO, we won't buy SH5!  Anyway, don't worry about it, don't lose sleep over it, I won't. I left my 2c here and am surely not out on a vendetta against non-buyers (or delayers if you will). I just encourage the developers, because it's not fun for them to read this kind of stuff... So keep it up guys  PS: Contact, just because I play at noob settings doesn't mean I don't care about bugs. You know I'm a developer, right??? If anybody cares it would be me...

I buy lots of software which may (for all I know) have bugs, but as long as it works most of the time I'm happy. I couldn't play SH3 at all until 2 years after I bought it (before that it would CTD within 60 seconds of launching, every time) and I'm not making the same mistake with SH5, and I don't think that makes me "cheap" . I support the game, but to a limit!

I will be watching and waiting. SH4 made me gun shy when it came to Ubi. I have some programming in my background and I understand that some bugs will slip through. A few bugs dont bother me. What bothers me greatly about SH4 are what I would term 'design errors' There are a number of them but I give my top 3 for example:
#1 The 'deckwatch gets killed unless moved inside' issue. How do you screw this up? Even worse, how do you care so little about your craft that you willingly send a game out like this? #2 Crappy manual. Sh4 manual was 104 pages (I think it was) of fluffy garbage useful to no one over the age 10 having more than 3 brain cells to rub together. I want real DOCUMENTATION! Publish it online somewhere to save the trees and the money, but there had better be a decent manual associated with SH5. #3 Truk. No Japanese base at Truk in game. How and why does the biggest Jap base outside of the home islands (dubbed Gibralter of the Pacific) not get represented? Modability: Falls under the 'damn good idea' category and I will be looking for that in SH5. |

No problem OLC, I see what you mean. My reply would be though, how will you know if the new software is buggy (or as buggy as SH3) if you don't try it...
For all we know, they build the best and most stable release ever. And even if people experience bugs and post them, by your argument, how would you know they would affect your pc, or your own tolerance level? Something to ponder about...  Quote:

I'm buying on release and support the game and dev's . I wanna see , smell , feel ..taste
the vanilla out of the box . The fun and joy then , starts here , on this forum , when skilled modders and subsim members come up with ideas and the mods rollercoaster starts rolling. My English writing and knowledge ain't good enough to join in , but i like the reading and the houres and houres spend here and playing the game , and seeing it getting better with every mod release (small and big) makes my 50€ and buying it on day 1 worthfull for me . Still play and enjoy SH3+GWX and SH4 + OM and RFB and bought them also on day 1. I'll put the thumbnail on Steven's "Happy" face at this moment and hope it stays there when SH V will be released .

I only voted to wait because the PTO is my interest. I bought SH4 twice on or about day #1; one was and still is in the box, the 2nd was D2D and is the one I play (a lot).
I'll give Neal the money to support SUBSIM while I wait to purchase the pacific theatre SH5 US boat add-on! Happy Hunting! Art |
