All i,m saying is give the game a chance. It could be the greatest one yet!

Have Ubi remove DRM/OSP and we'll give SHV a nice push forward. With DRM/OSP included, the game is rubbish and deserves to die

The chance they are having now is on it's way to expire in a month. However situation might change if they tossed out DRM completely.. But I'm affraid it's not going to happen since UBI believes DRM will serve more like money draining machine in future, rather then a counter measure against piracy

When SHV was announced there was much rejoicing and optimism.

That that is no longer the case isn't a result of us forum members being
predisposed to negativity or not giving things a chance. Where that the
cause, the negativity would not be unusual. It is.

Therefor, the dissaperance of the rejoicing and optimism and the
negativity that has since emerged must be a result, not of inherently
negative and bias attitudes, but of what we have been told of the game
so far.

Now it could be that the information we have only focuses on the worst
aspects of the game, but that seams to me unlikely. It is more likely that
the press releases have focused mainly on the best parts of the game.

If you take a rejoicing and optimism crowd, who have not previously
been inclined to negativity, show them mainly the best parts of the game
and they then become negative and worrisome, it does not bode well.

Nothing that happens on this Forum will effect Silent Hunter 5 in any way. Historically in the Silent Hunter series, the total percentage of sales from this and other Forums has been a very small number...certainly under 10 percent.

With Silent Hunter 5, Ubisoft has made a business decision to make it an online game targeted at casual gamers. It's therefore understandable that those who wanted the game to continue towards a sim rather than becoming an online arcade experience are critical of this decision.

Don't underestimate the impact of SubSim.
The SHV site doesn't link to subsim on the front page because it is insignificant.

It links to it because it relates to the Silent Hunter series. In terms of sales, this and other such Forums are not a consideration for Ubisoft.

Good luck with that idea. You will have more luck trying to herd cats.

Apart from the crew abilities which i hope can be modded (cannot see why not) I cannot see anyone bashing SH5 . OPS on the other hand deserves to be bashed to death .

If you don't like SH5 I'm sorry but Ubi probably won't care or notice. Stop wearing your fingers out on this and learn to mod. Fix the crap out of SH4 and make it into a game we love. It has a lot of potential. I've been adjusting values and playing with the models since Sh2 days. Either way SH5 can't suck half as bad as SH2. Remember no dynamic campaign?

My one and ONLY concern with DRM is the fact that it will take away from the mod friendliness. If that's the case... oh well.

Well, there are professionals called "Ubi marketing"... that are paid for making this and similar web sites "alive and kicking" by their input... which was in a last two weeks "gorgeous and exciting"...

If football game is boring - don't blame the crowd and fans... but ask professional players! ...what we should be inspired about ?

Except DRM disaster... there is "raido silence" on Ubi side... with a few arcade screens.

So we can find the way to keep the SH brand alive... or leave it to it's destiny in web silence... boring in both ways.

And if you think that in their own garden, "Ubi forums", the mood is better... check it out

Afterall, I agree with you... it is damn boring and pesimistic... despite the IQ of members... quess whom to blame?

EDIT: This whole post just won't work. -- NS
