But that doesn't mean I support radical destructive desinformed critics, we have a brain for something, not just for insulting without hard evidences of anything.




You can't compare a computer program with rotten food! A computer program is much more complicated, has more areas that make it "rotten" or not. You're judging just based on a few screencaps and 2 or 3 videos, which don't amount to the complexity such things have.



1. GUI judging is not a reason. I've said many times now that you can't judge a whole product based on the GUI, which BTW, will be moddable via Python scripts anyways.
2. That remains to be seen in final versions of SH5. All we've seen are preview pics. Lastest build might include those details. Maybe it was excluded on purpose, what do we know?
3. That is a separate aspect from the game itself. There's SH5, and then there's DRM. DRM is crap. But we don't know that SH5 is really crap.
4. Source to prove it? Otherwise, you don't know that for a fact, and are just speculating.
5. Minor detail that doesn't make the overall a crappy thing.
6. Internal programming issue, which I totally understand because of its complexity.
7. Secondary detail for me, and will probably be extendable anyways, just like we could edit the campaign layers in SH3/4.
8. At first, something that I thought was not so good, now I think that it isn't so much of a problem anyways, specially if, like 7, it can be modded.




An expansion of the years 44 and 45 when they've clearly stated that the U-Boot war was already over and lost at mid-43? Doesn't make much sense.
It does make sense to release addons with new boats though, but it's too early to talk about that.

So... got better arguments? Or you're just gonna tell me that I'm an Ubi defender?

Of course I do have arguments:
1. We are not talking about the potential moddable interface or game, we are talking about the actual game that they will sell on the market. Not about "what can be", but about "what is".
2. I don't see any purpose to post pictures of buggy aspects of the game, just in case you are masochist.
3. We're talking about the game as a whole, we cannot separate on one side DRM, and the other, the game itself, because the first one will obviously affect the playability of the game itself.
4. OK, in this area is just a hunch, and we will probably have the chance to see that my speculation was right.
5. The whole pictures is made of lot of details, those kind of details you are not affected by them, but I am. And I am sure not only me.
6. A Google Earth - like system would have been great and I am sure it was not impossible to be implemented.
7. And what if the war was already lost from '43 till '54? That way, playing just while the war is not lost yest will change the course of history? It will not, of course.
8. Don't put the emphasis on "what if" and "it can be corrected" or "it can be modded", because the customers are paying for the stock game that they are buying, not for the modded or corrected game.
And yes, I will tell you that you are a Ubi defender, and you shouldn't be ashamed of that, we all are making choices in life. You should just accept and admit your choice. I can respect your choice.
