What do you feel about SH5 now?

[gimpy117]

Why look a girt horse in the mouth? At least UBI is TRYING to fix stuff.

Maybe not everything they wanted to release did get out...but its in the works. we'll have more ships soon enough

Yes, indeed it does look like the devs have indeed made some changes to the model import... as Dan just posted a few minutes ago...

"With patch 1.2 dat files should now load textures properly. The problem they have is related to reflections. "

Which is a major step in the right direction.

I feel like i waited over a year for Empire: Total War to be patched and modded to a playable/enjoyable state and im having a frikin blast playing DarthMod 6.0 so yeah it can be a long road sometimes but in the end, if it is ever worth it, its worth it (to wait and see how things turn out).

Thankyou to all modders, of all games, even ones that merely make nudie Lara Croft skins. They are heroes!

This is the first time I have refused to buy a game that ordinarily I would purchase on sight. I am so, so, SO glad I made this decision. I come here to the forums hoping for some news that would change my mind but only find solid reinforcement for my decision.

Hah, I'm not the only one who voted 'I haven't bought this game, but I probably will buy it'. There IS another person

I think I got my money's worth out of the game. But compared with how much I enjoyed both SH3 and SH4, my personal opinion is that SH5 is a fiasco.

Hmm..we have today one serious subsim devloper for all of us subsim fans...we might think to be abit more supportiv and think more about creative critisism rather then trying to sink them....just a thought

That was me, but there are four of us now. You can click on the numbers to see who voted how.

I voted that way too, but polls like this aren't nuanced enough to cover all the conditions. What I intended with that vote is more like "I haven't bought this game, but I probably will buy it, but it depends on what it looks like after more official patches and whatever the modders can do."

To balance out that somewhat positive-sounding vote of confidence, I also voted that the game is a "fiasco," which is exactly what I think about the current state of the game. And yes, even with mods, from what I've seen so far. I'm the perfect target audience for this type of game. I've bought every major tactical combat sim since the early days of home computers. It's a tragedy that Ubi can't manage to release something that gets someone like me -- who will buy any good PC simulator game -- to pull the trigger.

It's unclear to me how much the modders can do with SH5 in the main areas I care about -- the AI mostly, but also things that break immersion like pathfinding glitches. So I'm still waiting to see what happens. I haven't bought DCS Black Shark yet (haven't had a computer that could run it until very recently), so they're getting my money this month instead of Ubi, who should have been first in line.

LOL I was seriously looking at purchasing a new machine specifically for SH5. Still absorbing the comments and waiting, of course. Thanks, subsim!

I would have voted that way also but looking at recent history made me choose otherwise...

Let's pretend you live in a small town that only has one barber.

You go for a hair cut, and he sets your head on fire. Are you going to keep going back just because you need to "be abit more supportiv"? He is the only barber in town, after all. If he goes out of business, you won't have a barber at all.

Good one m8!
Taking it to a new dimension makes it all clear

Not quite a good metaphor.
I could whoop that Barber Arse!
He's right there with a fire extinguiser!
(Or better be!)


Where's those in charge of this mess?
I think a public lynching is in order.
At the very lest?
Tar and feather and run outta town on a rail!
