Getting a 'sinking' feeling about SH5

They think by posting that, Ubi will read it.
And will worry, because player x won't buy their game.

Well, Ubi won't give a damn.
What Ubi does care about, is the expectations potential customers have of the game/sim.
And the higher these expectations are, the more likely Ubi will support the game better.

So naturally, a negative attitude works counter-productive.

Well, too late to make any major changes now I expect.

I only hope that the initial statement by the Devs "all new code" is correct!

Oh it will have bugs alright and I really dont think you'll EVER hear those words uttered by a games dev
but Id be very suprised to see the same bugs appear as SH4. So long as they fix anything major, Im sure we'll live :P

EXACTLY! So why all the agro from some when someone says that they don't like what they have seen? Ubisoft doesn't care, so what's the problem with people saying what they think? Why are some people so defensive of something that they haven't seen, yet so quick to attack others (usually personally) with statements like "you're a <insert emotive name here>, wait to you see it first"?

Indeed, who knows, if enough people complain about the same things, perhaps the devs--who frequent this forum--may be influenced to do something about it and improve it not just for "the whingers", but you too. And if people are being too quick to judge based on limited teasers, then at least the devs can sit back and have a laugh at our expense....or alternatively remove some of the mystery by providing preview copies to people like Neal or the like (ala SH2 and SH3).

(if the game sucks when released - tear it apart by all means.)

But you haven't played it either, so what makes you the moral compass to criticise people?

Anyway, we're all bored mate.

What adds to the frustration are things like finding out that Settlers 7--another Ubisoft published title that is also set for release in March--has opened public registrations for beta testing; with "playing" expected to begin on 19 January.

Should we hold our breath for a similar opportunity with SH5?

Sirs, negative misplaced conduct so founded leaves me sir paajtor of becoming involved. If i may, these high grand nit picks are of no use hence, therefor matter not at this late development. Sirs are you sure this is the course you want to pursue? Should one not be intent of what is in the offering? controversy is inevitable, but ones tolerance should be more credible when having not even played the sim. I find all said presuptuous nit picks to be fool hardy, unwanted, disrespectful to the devs, and bad for morale within the sh5 forum. I personaly do not think it advisable to weaken the silent hunter series until iam certain (played the game) that i can establish a more than worthie necessary comment, and only then where it be my lot to post, i shall do with upmost dilligence and precision. Lets try to enjoy and look foward to it with the greatest respect it should deserve. thank you.
