No subsim review of silent hunter 5?

Don't forget that SH3 and SH4 had serious initial problems which were largely (certainly not all of them!) fixed after patching.

Neal is probably working on one of his well-considered, well-written reviews and waiting to see if any patch activity in the first month dramatically changes his assessment.

Think of it this way... if Subsim rushes to print with a "SH5 SUCKS!" review, it hurts the submarine simulation market by turning potential players away. We'll see down the stretch what happens with SH5, DRM, and UbiSoft... be patient.

Perhaps he is waiting for the first patch before a review is published.

Perhaps he's making a review of the game, and the game with the best mods available b

Well. I don't really care. I went back to SH3 and SH4

SH3 was nowhere such an unfinished and buggy product like SH5. Vanilla SH3 was and still is a decent game. No doubt that, after having played the GWX mod, the out of the box experience feels a little lame but this is largerly due to the incredible quality of the mod, not because the game lacked.

We have to remember the glut of people showing up at SS now required Neal to migrate files and such to a second server. This took a few days. Not much play time for SH5 when you are taking care of server issues on the site.

As stated already, there are plenty of player reviews here to get a good idea what state the game is in.

For me DRM not withstanding, SH5 is good.
