Has SH5 kept your interest? - Page 6

Faamecanic · 05-03-10, 11:33 AM

Owned it the week of release. Played two patrols with it.... and now it sits on my HDD gathering dust.

The AI bugs and immersion bugs (lack of sub rolling in heavy seas (carryover from SH3), Liberty cargo ships in 1940??, Unrealistic tonnage requirements to "move on" to next mission) are too much.... I have better games to play with my time.

This firmly sits on my shelf and I await the patch and several good mods. And this is the last time I buy the SH games on release. I will wait for the bargain bin if SH6 is ever released.

I'm also waiting to see what the new patch will do, but I am playing.
The modding community is outstanding. If it were not for the Mods
that I have installed (to make it playable), my copy would also be
collecting dust, or become a paper weight, or coaster.

More, daily. Except for the week I took off for vacation.

Too drunk to play during that heh

quick reply w/o reading thread....

less/none playing

but subsim forums keep my interest in SH5, i browse it everyday to keep up with people bitching about DRM and surf mod threads.

I had a great time with the mods and the game for a while but some things need to be fixed to do my style of manual targeting and apparently i move slow through the campaign so im not wasitng all that time if a new patch is going to bork it.

SH5 forum is a great game!

MaciejK · 05-05-10, 11:38 PM

Havent touched he game for more than a month.

I will see what the patch will bring.

Currently have little time to play, almost no at all, so it applies to almost all games. Except for X3 Terran Conflict which I sometimes run to see my empire grow

JScones · 05-06-10, 01:53 AM

Thanks everyone, some good insight. Keep it coming.

Perhaps my next question should be "Has the SH5 forum kept your interest?".

Yup, actually is the SH5 multiplayer part and is pretty addicitve

Also kills the boredom waiting for the patch.

PS: What's X3 Terran Conflict? I just can't get enough info about it :/ Seems 2 be something like EVE or Homeworld...

Sure has.... log in almost everyday to read the latest news/mods and rants.

sharkattack76 · 05-06-10, 02:57 AM

Nope, don't play it any more.
Will see IF the patch comes out.
To busy with games that DO work.

No! Of course!

urfisch · 05-06-10, 10:56 AM

crap...

the game vanishes in the dust of my harddrive. played it 2-3 times, to test some mods - a month ago. since there are too many things unfinished, i am waiting for patch no 2.

rocketrob23 · 05-06-10, 11:03 AM

im with urfish, waiting for 2nd patch, until then its sh3 with gwx3 and sh4!!!

himlaviz · 05-06-10, 11:09 AM

Patches, not always for the better...

prepatchday - all the bugs, they seemed so far away
now it looks as though they're here to stay
oh, I believe in prepatch day
suddenly - this is not the game it used to be
there's a skill nerf hanging over me
oh, damn patch day came suddenly
why lag had to grow, I don't know - they wouldn't say
skill gains very wrong, now I long for prepatchday
prepatchday - "this is such a killer game", I'd say
now I need a private shard to play
oh, I believe in prepatch day
(lyrics by midas)

But in SH5 case I don't think a patch will hurt much

Waiting for patch no 2 and busy working and playing whatever MMO that holds my interest for the day, mostly EQ2/UO.
