I give up.

another good, though disapointing to read post. this game is really beginnin to sound horrible and im so glad i waited a few days before pullin the trigger on it.

the only pluses i can glean from all these posts are that it looks real nice and the campaign is a step forward from previous versions.

i have to ask though, why didnt they just keep the core UI from SH3 or SH4 and then add most of this new stuff on top of it? that wouldve kept everyone happy.

Yep i agree. and i think thats what everyone wanted them to do. I know for a fact that, that is what i wanted. But no they had to totally change it.
And then, they didnt even finish it.


SH3 GWX, with new graphics, and improved AI,improved phisics, and 1st person camera view = everyone Happy. (Well ME anyway).

Yeah you are right. It looks real nice, and the campaign seems to work quite well (you basically chose an area of operations for 6 months or so, then move on).
But yes, there is a lot of functionality missing from the game.
I have the game, so have decided to try and tweak it to make it better, but honestly, I am not sure I could in all honesty recommend someone else buy the game.

Ordering your crew to perform the most perfunctory tasks is another guessing game. Do you have enough "morale points" to order silent running? Guess what!? Your XO is in a cranky mood today so no morale points and no silent running for you, Kaleun! Someone get my Luger. I've got a clip full of morale points for you.

LOL

Because dev's nowadays seem almost purely motivated to take out exactly the things that people like and/or define a series. Maybe it's time some split off like happened with MOH/COD.

No silent running because I have no moral points? C'mon... bargain bin.

Already fixed with a little mod. No need to complain now.

After getting burned by SH III, then SH 4...... I decided to WAIT this time to see how SH 5 shakes out.... by reading the posts here Im glad I did.

Back to GWX for me it seems......

I cant BELIEVE with the number of fans, and intelligent posts made here over the several iterations of the SH francise the devs STILL instist on implementing crap that no one wants, and NOT implementing stuff we have been begging for for YEARS now.

[FIREWALL]

I don't know. I keep going back and trying to play it especially with the mods that have been done so far.

I have yet to say a game is smarter than me.

Sounds to me like a arcade game.

I learned something long ago..never buy a released game. One, you're overpaying for it. Then it's full of bugs that take the pleasure away and most always takes a year until someone makes it playable. I don't care how pretty it is or how good some aspects are, if it's full of silly bugs I'll just sit there at the screen mad as hell.. Third point. By the time they fix it all, it's usually in the bargain bin for $10. Maybe it should be the other way around. Maybe it should sell for $10 released and the top dollar charged when it's fixed.




Things are fine in the Pacific and I'll be staying here for some time.

I was going to ask a question about whether there is a calendar with the phases of the moon on it like way back in SH2 but I guess if there is no easily reachable compass it's probably not there, is it? Lol...oh well never mind.

I hadn't heard about 'morale points' until today so can i just ask: seriously? I mean, seriously?

I was even more dead set against buying it when I first read this but now I'm tempted just to see it for myself. Seems less 'Sub sim' and more 'Sub Sims' to me.

Right.
I think they should have created a small bowl (version for notebooks players) or sink (ver. for PC/home players) with the water and the one U-boat putted on the waves. It will be a SH6

Perhapps if you had held off from buying it till UBI had addressed the issues and removed DRM then you wouldn't feel so disapointed. It's not like you weren't aware of it's shortcomings prior to purchase.....so you only have your self to blame me ol china.

Correction: Already worked around with a little mod. Not fixed at all. Big difference.
