Getting a 'sinking' feeling about SH5

So instead of worrying and or speculating, why not just wait for it to be released and assess it then.

This seems odd, to fill a post admonishing speculators with phrases like "I think" and "I believe" while referring to speculative features. Or perhaps only you can speculate? Perhaps only "positive" speculation is acceptable? I think not and that is opinion not speculation.

People look at the available information, which is pretty slim all things considered and see things they like or do not see evidence of features that are desirable. Yet just because something is not seen does not mean it's not there so speculation on SH5 content is certainly valid.

From my perspective (and only my perspective) I have seen no evidence to indicate that SH5 will be superior to SH3+GWX in any respect other than the eye candy to which I am entirely indifferent. If you see other things, good for you but advocating muzzling people whilst barking up a storm lends your points of view little credibility in my book.

Within all the hyperbole nobody seems to notice that if the developers produce the simulation that some are attributing to them than the hugely talented pool of Modders around here might have little to do. Strange that some speculate what a great game SH5 will become but only after the Modders have their way with the stock version. Perhaps there is more fanboyism and wishful thinking than objective analysis based on available hard information going on here.

Just an opinion.

Because of your obvious arrogance, you totally miss the point. You've only been gracing us with your presence since January 2008, so you have little knowledge of the speculative nonsense that goes on here during the lead up to the release of a new Silent Hunter game.

I'd stick to your pacific island if I were you. The inhabitants there might actually be impressed with you.

Classic! Mere Post count or time as forum member = credibility.

I lurked these forums for years before joining and since then have read much but posted reletively little. I have the point just fine but you obviously do not since you were unwilling or incapable of addressing any of my observations. Far, far better to invoke the small-minded tyranny of the post count.

UBISoft probably has valid commercial reasons for keeping information tight but a problem stemming from that is when people can't see it, they tend to make it up. Some will see sweetness and light and dancing bears others will see an unmitigated disaster. Like most things, SH5 will likely fall somewhere in the middle. I'm still inclined to watch and shoot.

How about UBI releasing two SH5 games:
Hardcore simulation version: "Silent Hunter V: Battle of the Atlantic" and 13-year-old oriented FPS console-like shooter called "Silent Hunter V: Shoot'em All Up In the Middle of the Atlantic (Lite)"?

There you have it. Problem solved!
