Massive Price Drop!

I think the reality is that Ubisoft's arrogance finally caught up with them with this release.

This Publisher has a history with this franchise of throwing unfinished, buggy games onto the market, which then need significant patching in order to get them to where they should have been at release.

With Silent Hunter 5, Ubisoft took their arrogance to a new level. Not only is this game the usual buggy mess, it also requires that you connect to totally unreliable Ubisoft servers in order to play it. Add to that the fact that the game is targeted at a new demographic that doesn't seem very interested in buying it, and you have the perfect storm....something that ironically Ubisoft has been unable to create in any of the Silent Hunter games

For some to claim that the current fiasco it is the fault of those of us who have been critical of Ubisoft, is nonsense.

If this game is the final offering in the Silent Hunter series....so be it. Give us a patch to allow us to play it offline, and we'll heavily mod it just like we modded SHIII and SHIV.

I'm so over this 'be nice to Ubisoft because they are the only Publisher producing subsims' argument. It looks to me like SH5 is very modable...we just need to be able to play it offline in order to really enjoy it.
