That's is not a bug.

It is a game who is about to be published in an unfinished state, as usually.

As usual people start whining before they even have the game.

Sorry, you are wrong in my case. I was beta-tester of this game and I can't say more, because of the non disclosure agreement I signed.

Then you must be the first tester to say that this game isn't finished. Untill now everybody who had tested this game seemed to be quite happy with it.

That's is probably just your assumption, because I bet that other beta testers don't have told you anything about their feelings, good or bad, because if they do it, they violate the non disclosure agreement they signed.

Now, if I say this is not a bug but an unfinished game, it it just the truth and does not mean that I like or not the game. A bug is something like a crash to desktop or a feature which does not work as it is supposed to. A feature which is still in the state of SHIII (metric) when it was supposed to be in Imperial units, is an unfinished part.

... and no, I won't tell you what I really think about SH4.

Then why are you even posting? Your attitude up until now seems to be pretty nose in the air without adding anything of substance. You're a beta tester. Bully for you. All I've see in is just vague criticisms about the game not being finished.

As for something I don't like about the game, the fact that they use meters is pretty wacky. This undoubtedly needs to be changed to feet.

I think you guys are JUMPING to conclusions about that...

From the Dev Team Answer thread on the Ubi forum...

Q: Taifu_Noodle: What units of measurement will SH4 use?
A: Silent Hunter 3 used the same measurements system as the Kriegsmarine - based on the metric system. For Wolves of the Pacific, we will of course use the imperial system since this is the historical solution. However, we are considering to have the game switch to metric as an option.

I would say it looks like the 'option' made it in. Of course I could be wrong and maybe they decided to just 'go ahead and release the game with meters as the only option'.

Yeah.. I'm sure that's what they did.


EDIT - nvdrifter, I was the one who posted this in the 'other thread'. You stole my quote, and posted in here at the same time as I was! Two no-no's!! :rotfl:

After reading your post above I went ahead and deleted my previous post with your quotes. I wasn't trying to take credit for your quote.

Oh, you didn't have to do that. I was just kidding you with my EDIT at the end there. You know, poking your ribs a little all in fun man. But thanks anyway.

But anyway, now a few more folks are saying it IS a bug! They may know something I don't, but still I can't believe it!

Cheers

I'm guessing that it's not a bug, but that the dev team just didn't have time to add imperial measurements before the game was released. They were probably under pressure to release asap. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more posts about bugs or features that were left out. Just wait until the official release on Wednesday. This board will really light up.

nvdrifter,

So what you're saying is it's due to the game being released as 'unfinished', and blatantly so, as ACSoft is saying above.
