There is something very wrong with an organization that consistently produces defective products. In Ubi's case, they have consistently produced a worse SH game than the previous one, SH4 and SH5. This indicates very serious internal problem.

It would be nice if they just went away, at least from subsims.

There is one thing I don't understand though.
SH 3 was a commercial success, otherwise SH 4 would never have been made. Now why did Ubisoft didn't put the same kind of "love" in SH 4 as it did in Sh 3 ? The customer base is there, it wouldn't have disappeared from 3 to 4. And the same thing going from 4 to 5. Each time they allocated less and less resources and the game as a result suffers. But the irony of the matter is that the customer base doesn't decrease. The end result is that the gamer at each iteration gets less and less value for its money. It just doesn't seem right.

No, actually. I don't believe the customer base IS there! Very few of the current, "short attention span" target market have the patience or desire to plot such things as torpedo attacks or setting waypoints for time-consuming travel to a distant location where one may wander about forever in search of targets, only to be disappointed and out of Diesel #2...

First person shooters are what THEY like! I suspect Ubi feels there ain't enough of us, "old timers" left to justify any further investment of resources into a dieing genre ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) they have unpaid help ("modders") who can make their trash acceptable FOR FREE !!!

I suffered through, first, the buggy SH4 followed by this fiasco, but, thankfully I only paid $33 including shipping for this particular mistake!

MY ONE-HUNDRETH POST !!!
