this game is really, really, and i mean really, bad. play sh3 and its a pleasure, makes sense and just works.

sh5 is shockingly bad. I honestly think they released this halfway through the dev cycle.

i thought i was disappointed with sh4 but this reaches a new low.

i'm sorry to complain people but i had to get this off my chest.

Please show you with your Silent hunter 5 DVD disk , or you with your PC and the game running otherwise your opinions are not Valid and very suspicious

And who appointed you arbiter of whose views are 'valid' (whatever the hell that means)? Why don't you just call the poster a liar and be done with it, as that is what you've more or less accused them of.

I don't see the people writing cheery, "I love SH5" being accused of not having it.

So they think the game sucks. Tough **** to you. Get over it.

Thanks for doing it in an orderly fashion.

Uh-oh, now Neal is basically saying he feels virtually the same way

A damning indictment indeed! I haven't even got my copy yet!! Talk about 'lowering my expectations'!

No, I'm not saying anything other than thanking the OP for making his points with hysteria and hyperbole.

I do agree about the manual, it's very bad when you get it on PDF and some of the illustrations cannot be read, and it dedicated 5 pages to cheesy crewmen stories, but only 1/3 page to a very inept bit about actually sinking ships with torpedoes.

Ok, fair point, I was over the top there. I am actually very disappointed that this game wasn't what I hoped. I'll be more careful with my wording in future.

No problem mate, anyone does mistakes.

I'm running xp, haven't tried without shadows so will give that a go tomoro. Will get fps too. Thx for the suggestions.

cheers Neal and to all you positive guys out there. I also know that some of you don't want to believe me, i don't want to either, trust me, but its not what we hoped. It does have real potential for sure but out of the box, and the trend of the SH series in general on release is going down hill. there's someone important in UBI who doesn't care about this series anymore, thats the truth.

the complaints about missing manuals, no maps, as well, and i even saw the super fast moving clouds of sh4 at one stage, well its a crying shame.

i'm off now to cry into my cup of tea. i've already had several ciders, possibly the cause of my original post, so appologies, but the facts are indeed in my bug list.

so long cruel world.... i'm off to try and work out how to hit the side of a battleship because the manuals no help.

atleast they got the seagulls right.

The General · 03-03-10, 04:53 PM

It's alright saying 'it's all Ubisoft's fault', but is it? They're just guys in suits these days, stumping up the cash. Surely it's up to the Devs to provide their bosses with a realistic work schedule and budget before embarking on such a project?

If the game goes to release unfinished, surely they share atleast some of the blame? I mean, shouldn't lessons have been learnt on the previous releases?

Noren · 03-03-10, 04:58 PM

Even in the best of worlds I would think its quite difficult to plan the makings of a complete simulator and the devs have deadlines to hold on too, I dont think we will ever now what really went on put Im quite sure the schedule was a stressed one and fixed.

I'm always amazed to see how easily people claim to hold the truth... (or know what is the truth).
