Silent Hunter Survey! WTH?

04-15-09, 07:36 PM

I don't believe I fall into the Moaners catagory.

The Doers catagory yes.

The Survey is to limited for me to respond to in a way
that makes sense to me.

To actually answer it would require I fib or ignore how
the answers would be used.

Might be fine for most.
But won't cut the Mustard for me.

Any other slams?

the survey was fair and geared toward people who played sh3 and sh4 and could compare the 2. If this is info gathering for SH5, I wouldn't mind a nice open-ended question such as "what (game features) would you like to see in the next SH release?" and limit responses to 500 words.

I had some of the same responses as above. I don't like either/or questions. For example, the last question had you give one answer, when in truth, if several of the possible choices were not in the game, I wouldn't waste my time on it.

I completed it as well, but had a really hard time answering most of the questions for the same sort of reasons that OLC pointed out.

Subsim and/or Ubisoft isn't going to get reliable information unless they are more specific with their line of questioning.

What I mean specifically, is that they need to state whether or not they expect us to rate matters WITH or WITHOUT aftermarket mods.

Geez people, it's just a simple little survey. No need to make a big production about it.

Congrats man. You've really shown your superior intelligence this time.

Now put your helmet back on and go back to licking the window. You missed a spot.

With regards to the survey (the actual topic), I gladly answered, I'm happy that we get asked about our opinions, no matter the questions. I put "Very Important" in a lot of spots, but, it's good to be taken into account anyway. And so should be glad anyone else, as the opposite is being ignored by the developer. So, be it badly or well written, the survey is very welcome.

Cheers

Smells like a SH5 survey under cover to me

Let's not turn this into a flame war, Kap, ok?

Thanks to all who took a minute to fill out the survey

No offense to Neal but the Survey was generic and lacked any specifics.

No problem. The line of questioning is structured to collect unbiased results about the two SH games, not modded SH games. If you want to deliver a specific response, just send an e-mail.

cheers

Neal

That's cool then.

Unlike me

, I suspect many will have answered based on their modded preference. Perhaps a small note at the start of the survey?

Ooh, and UNBIASED, are you kidding?:rotfl:

I answered the survey because I was a little bored and drunk at the time.
But I tried to be honest.

Murr44 · 04-17-09, 01:29 PM

So that's what that email was about. To be honest I deleted it without opening it. I didn't trust the thing & I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I only have SH3 so I can't comment on 4. I played stock SH3 until I got sick of the bugs & limitations present in it. Put it away for a while until I found out about GWX.

It would be nice that if/when SH5 comes out the developers could take a page from the GWX team and include some of the improvements found in that mod. I'm not holding my breath waiting for 5 though. With GWX & SH3 Commander installed I figure that I have several years of playing SH3 before it gets to be old hat.
