Some thoughts from one of the mainstream - Page 3

Hmm, I personally think that the human element would add a whole new idea to the game. Where as I now see a Liner and think, big boat, heavy boat! and sink it, but if I were to know that the game may simulate, you know, people dieing, I might rethink the thought. I was personally raised on the idea that every body has a family, that loves, and will miss them if they were to die. So in the respect that that may be a troop ship, the people on board still have a family. as of now, I don't see the crew/troops. All I see are somethings on the deck and guns that represent people that will disappear when they get too close to the water. If I were to see lifeboats floating around in the water picking other survivors out of the water, I might be more affected than just seeing a boat appear and float away. So, I would think the inclusion of things like people drowning/fighting for their lives, may actually make it alot more realistic in the respect that "thats not just a ship, there are people on there too." You can't have a realy good simulation unless the best and the worst of the thing you are trying to simulate, right now, it does not seem like something that would really teach you someething about War. But almost no one wants to learn something when playing a "game".

well this is my 2 cents,

i am not a teen player jumping between the console and the pc i am a 37 year old electrician and i if i wired a house the way that this game was pushed out, unfinished in 1 day and expecting the home owner to finish the wiring(game code),put on their own coverplates(game options) and install their own main breakers(glitches, ai behavior problems, ctds,) not only would i have to refund the customers money, id probably get sued for shoddy workmanship, and have my licence revoked by the electrical inspector when i put my money down on the table, i expect a product that works as advertised,or a service that is satisfactory to me, the customer

ubisoft , in my opinion has not met these standards. if this product were a car,or a tv for example ther would need to be recall notices issued, yet we do not have this option with software.

i do hope they made some money off this game,because they will probably need it.
my age bracket is in the majority of the demograpic band,and i say will will not be buying from this particular company again, nor will i purchace this companies products for my children

maybie someday some other company will put out a subsim that is complete, entertaining,and worth the money i put into it

goodbye ubisoft you just lost another customer

The thing that still causes me to eventually drift from these single player sims and severally limited "battle in a bottle" multipler engagments is the limited scope and redundancy they both eventually devolve into. Only until devs invest time and resources into a 24hr persistent combat theater environment will these sims have lasting appeal for me as WWIIOnline has.

I'd gladly pay $12-15 a month for years to have that type of gameplay like I do with WWIIOnline. They have gotten their monthly subscription from me for over 6yrs now and will continue too, even if I dont play for a few months. Why? because I believe in their vision and I know if they die that game style and vision dies with them. Those guys slave away like no other and that devotion on their part is reciprocated by my support financially and in admiration.

I doubt there will ever be subs in ww2ol

On topic, I really wish the convoy vessels would pick up some of the lifeboats. Less contact reports that way

gotta keep hope alive! Im done hijacking
