The whole game = epic fail?

[urfisch]

As there are the first ingame vids from the final release(http://www.marinesims.de/wbb2/thread.php?threadid=11936&sid=36d7b98e40faddbbd3a7 9a4f04a5431b) i truly must admit, i am really frustrated. There are so many things, that need to be fixed...

- glitches on mass...when speaking with crew members
- an 1 WO, who is hanging on the UZO all the time
- a watch crew in storm without the right clothes
- a watch crew without binoculars(!)
- nothing happens during ALARM
- nothing happens if you order "battle stations"
- a flotille chief, whos hanging in the bunker
- watch crew reporting ghost contacts...
- "diving" watch crew in storm
- no way to get onto the boat in the bunker
- animations more bad than in older games
- nothing happens in the engine room, when diving
- far to sterile boat interior
- crew behavior all time the same....

etc...

WTF

as much the graphics make me feel good, as much the vids of the final make me sad...



seems, as if the pessimistic people will be true...the game is far from finished.

Crash dive works, battlestatsions works. The rest is just esthetics. I played over 8 hours of LAN lastnight, no crashes and no major issues to report other than the external cam still works in 100% realism

A few things wrong until the patches and mods , then best game ever .

[AVGWarhawk]

Epic fail? Once again the developers delivered a very nice game. One that is open to modding like no other before. Even if this was completely dead nuts right on, no doubt, it is all there someone would mod something because it was "not right". It is a epic canvas from the looks of it. A canvas for the ground work of a very good simulation. Think positive men! Just the video alone I have seen is excellent. It needs some work but didn't the all?

Same post here. Sailor Steve knows what i mean. Still wondering why so many of you AND some modders still believe that, if you´re not willing to buy it

Gutteds thread isn´t so different from urfischs

[Sailor Steve]

The only reason I'm not willing to buy it is "The Thing". Once that is gone I'm all in, and always have been.

If it never goes, I guess I'll have to watch from the sidelines.

[Stormfly]

...if UBI decides to not fix the missing alarm animations and crew behavior, do you guys realy think it would be so easy to mod that, i wont expect that in the next future

[urfisch]

"epic fail" is meant to describe the whole progress of this game, including the final release.

...and i may see this game as a young born child...but i do not accept this type of policy from the publishers and you all just feeling fine with it. so i dropped this kind of "emotional" discussion. i want to know, what you all are thinking about the game, now some people already have it - and are able to let us have a deeper look onto it. and what we see is not, what we expected, right?



dont take my words to personal...but you must admit, they have a true core.

I wouldn't call it an epic fail. There's still a sub sim in there somewhere.

Just needs alittle more loving. Mostly in the periscope.

SH3 and SH4 was rough at release, too.

Will it ever be perfect? Nope... not until I've got a full field-of-view head mounted display, motion platform, and sea salt mist/bucket machine.

I've got faith that the modders will take SH5 and make it into something beautiful.

GreatgoogillyMoo of Epic Failure proportion batman.

Wow, never heard so many cliche internet repetition in one forum before. Getting a good laugh at the drama.

I am currently trying it, I can tell you (only very first impression), although it has a different approach than SH3, I remember the last time I installed SH3 vanilla and from what I see so far, it seems like we got a much higher quality game.

[malkuth74]

Everything you mention has to do with what you see in the crew and inside the boat.

But what about the rest of the game, does it work? The simulation part. I can understand your frustration with the animations and stuff. But SHV took a new direction with being inside the boat. But if the simulation part is still just as good as SHIII then I can look past some of those things.

Most people here wanted "eye-candy", they have that and nothing more! Their desire is granted ... You can't accuse UBI for that. And about permanent internet connection required as well, a lot of us here don't have a problem with that. So UBI is giving us what "we" wanted, an iron fist in a velvet glove. The "fist" being the bugs, glitches, lack of simulation, internet connection, and the |velvet glove" being the "eye-candy" graphics and some pathetic pseudo RPG elements.
