Interesting to see the love/hate nature of the posts

I'd love to know what these "arcade" people consider unrealistic about the game. Pretty sim to me!

Because what they consider a baseline sim amounts to SAM simulator in a uboat.

They're frustrated that it isn't a straight up clone of the Silent Hunter series, instead of being grateful that someone took a risk on a genre most won't touch with a ten foot barge pole.

I think at this point they're not fans of submarine games, so much as they're fans of one particular submarine game, which they believe is the only type of submarine game which should exist. Which begs the question, why not just play the game you enjoy?

That would explain the ridiculous amount of vitriol directed at my game, Cold Waters, on the Dangerous Waters steam forums. It's almost as if its mere existence is an affront to these people.

Probably, at least in part. I really don't get these 'fans' if I'm honest, they complain that their favourite genre doesn't have many games, and then as soon as someone dares to release one, they dump on it as hard as they possibly can! It's like they want to be stuck with the same old titles for the rest of eternity!

Oh, and Cold Waters is a great game, just for the record. I hope the moronic 'community' doesn't put you off future titles like it.

I get what this game is supposed to be, but I understand how different it is for people raised on the silent hunter series.
I enjoy the mechanics behind sailing the boat, but I'm having a difficult time coming to terms with detecting enemies, getting into position, and the different modes of travel. I chase a contact down, the game doesn't pull me out of fast travel, I sail past the target, then have to go to flank speed just to catch up to a 6 knot target (just so the game pops me out of whatever travel mode im in), and 9 times out of 10, I'm at the targets stern.
Getting kinda old, but I guess that's Unity for you.

I remember why I left subsim and abandoned OH2. Old dudes, complaining of everything, Their GoD was SH3, a game that wont run even on my phone, but still... they demand! Demand! And GOD forbid they pay .. oh no. They paid 15 eur/usd and they demand a working game. And if the modders dont deliver ..fuk, they rage more.

Same goes on UBOAT. LIght years on SH5, still I see the same people complaining. Giving a fuk, but yawning. Water is not real/water is very real. I hate this game/I love this game etc

All my respect to my fellow moders, they deserve a lot of respect. Not for the years spent, but the patience.

Before bashing UBOAT, ask yourself .. Was SH5 fun? If so, was because UBISOFT? Give them a break, give them a chance to make the best subsim around, they are the good guys! Submit bugs, and submit errors.

Quoted for truth.

I remember when SH4 was being bashed for not being SH3, and then SH5 came out and guess what... it also wasn't SH3 either, so a major meltdown ensues. Then we don't get anything for nearly a decade (possibly because of the massive bad press SH5 received), and finally some indies are taking a chance on this genre, and... nope, not SH3... more moaning and griping from the grognards.

Don't get me wrong, SH3 was an absolutely fantastic game, and I played it to death over the course of many years. But limiting yourself to just one game for all time, and then bashing everything else which dares to do something even slightly different, well that's not a healthy mindset.

Read your post and thought I was on the Steam forum.
No olds guys bashing Uboat here.

LOL! takes me back to my old IL 2 days, the battles with flight sim FANBOYS over open architecture verses closed, flight models, even graphics. I dont see it ever getting that bad here. Its still very early release and I'd bet in the end we'll have options to automate much of the crew.

Or not. Ether way I'll always have room on my hard drive for SH and Ubout.

I never had room for "flight sim"

You should have seen the Falcon 4.0 wars. Brutal.

You weren't here for the launch of SH3. The game itself was buggy, and the modders broke into camps which pretty much ended up in total war, complete with open fighting, skulduggery, backstabbing and outright vitriol. It pretty much ruined the UBIsoft boards and created factions that have only started mending fences in the last couple of years or so. I hope we never see the like again.

Oh, and this thread is a good one.

Just not everyone is ready for innovation!

[bstanko6]

I think the game is just fine. I knew the game would be buggy. That’s why there was a discount the first couple weeks the game came out.

I just hope they finish the game, and not leave it hanging.

As long as they complete it, I will be patient. Keep up the good work guys.
