Awesome in its awesomeness - Page 2

I think it looks awsome too and really looking forward to SH5. Funny how the interface gets so much flack, but its 100X better than the whak interface of SH4. 10,000 years from now, man will study the SH4 interface and conclude it had nothing to do with the SH4 and was actually a psy ops experiment on human tolerance for frustration.

Your complaints about the fact that everyone doesn't behave as YOU think they 'should ' would be vaguely credible if you were to display the behaviour you seem to be demanding.

And now you're having a shot at the moderators, too. Excellent.

I agree, this game looks incredible

I played submarines sims since silent service (Amstrad 6128 in 1986-87) and saw the improvements during 20 years and Silent Hunter V is very promising.
English is not my native language, but contrary to numerous people, i have been able to read that the game will be for many people, beginners or arcade to expert mode moreover most of the team of SH3 is still there thus i'm not afraid.
What is boring is the number of people here just to attack Ubi, destroy something just not released. Wait and see.

After reading from the many post on the threads in here from credible members that know what there talking about and are active members unlike myself. I find it hard to get excited about a game that looks like firstly there is mistake all over the place, has limited content compared to the previous versions.

Yes it looks very nice, but then you look again and you see shadows missing etc and in today’s games that’s sloppy. The limited Video releases tells its own story and that there scared stiff and not proud of there work.

When I first learnt SH5 was on the cards I thought great it will be the game I wished for in SH3 my last sub purchase, everything has moved on so much with Computer hardware. But I’m disappointed at what I’ve seen so far and I was even going to bring my new purchase of a new Rig to run this forward as at present I have a five year old system.

Well done in getting excited about a game that really has nothing good to say about itself so far.
And I tip my cap to those who I regard on here that fight to enlighten us and encourage us not to accept sloppy, lazy, rushed game releases. Fan boys add nothing.

People judge by what they are shown.
and what they are shown is apprearently not much, less than they expected, and reason for a lot of negativity.

Let them vent.
Let me vent.

Moan about DRM but get a grip people - I'm sick to death

me being a part of tha "moaning" "people"... dont tell me wether i have to get a grip or not. I could "possibly" thake that personal.

Thanks.

*edit*
That does not mean i am putting the programers and SHV creators work down in any way. I applaude them for their continued efforts!

Well IMHO the missing years and lack of Boat types is really quite forgivable.
It was only expected because of what was present in SH3, but we have to apprieciate that they are quite deiffernt games. The SH5 campaign is far more detailed that SH3 so it takes longer to script, the U-boat models plus full interior is also far more detailed than SH3, so again it takes much longer to model and implement.
Sometimes less is more.

The DRM is really the main problem here.
I will still buy the game and try to live with it (call me a scab if you want), but I have no argument with those who will not, I dont view those with no (or weak) internet connection as 'whiners' they have every right to be angry.

The the part that upsets me most about the DRM? It will likely probably be cracked soon enought anyway, in which case the pirates will be mearly 'delayed' while legit customers will suffer or go without and the Publisher loses out on substancial sales from both potential customers AND pirates alike.
Look what happened to Spore (and that was over an install limit)

I would assume that Ubi would need to bail on the DRM as soon as is it cracked by pirates, failing to do so would be suicide.

Sh5 looks like a great sim

Laffertytig · 02-06-10, 07:55 AM

the DRM issue is an entirely different subject but lets just wait to see what its like before rippin it a new one

Don’t see that at all, in fact it’s the senior Members that have raised there fears over the many posts but then I don’t know how much you read on here…… I have no experience with DRM so wont comment apart from that sounds poor. But when a member posts a remark then backs it up with picture evidence then I take it on board and rightly so.

I’m I thinking twice about buying this – Yes. But I’m not a big game buyer as I’ve said last game was FM2008 and before that BF2. But I do Buy a game if I think it will be quality and give me hours of entertainment.

Personally I dont care what anyone says about the screenshots & videos, Senior member or not - it means nothing to me, they sill havent played the game and are just making observations (usually negative) that lead to assumptions.

I will play the game for myself and form my own opinion. I will listen to what others think about SHV as it can be intresting/funny/whatever -but I will not let it influence what ever I decide to do.

piri_reis · 02-06-10, 09:42 AM

Nobody is telling you that you can't buy it. Buy all means go and get it the minute it hits the shelves.
People express their own opinions about what they see from screenshots/videos/interviews etc.
What a sensible man can see is, it looks no where close to awesome, but go ahead, dream on, I guess all shall be revealed in march

Again, that last part is YOUR opinon
Who are you to judge the sensiblities of others? and likewise who are they to judge yours?
I will decide how awesome it is for me when I play it. End of story.

Good post.

I've been noticing a real undertone of "if you don't share my opinion of the game you're crazy/stupid/etc." in the forum lately and I don't like it.

urfisch · 02-06-10, 10:11 AM

...to me the game still looks like a big, big building site...there will be so much to do, until we get a state of "acceptable so far".

and since we seem not to get any further information on the tools, there still remains the fear of a totally failed game to me. cause one thing is for sure: the game at the state of release, will not be acceptable. and if theres no possibility to change the content, the game will be a big shoot in the foot.

nothing else.
