Lt Commander Lare's sh5 review

He might be kidding all along because he is basically saying it's almost bugfree and 100 percent complete

"almost" is relative. For what it's worth, over 95% of the features in the game DO work as advertised. So technically that's not inaccurate.

IIRC, he posted the same reviews for SH4 and SH4:UM. So at least he's consistent.

Bah, at least he's happy with it. I hope to be too, one day. The problem with the SH franchise is that it's typically six months to a year before a new release is playable with patches and mods.

All I know is that the interface is hideous!!! Hope the mods can rewrite the entire GUI.

UrPeaceKeeper writing a Concuring Oppinion with Simsurfer. The UI is horrid. Guess I was just way to used to SH3/SH4 as this totaly threw me to the ****s. The new controls suck so I downloaded the new commands mod. Havent had a chance to test it out as it's bed time for me =X

So far, I've not figured out the whole automatic but not really automatic targeting thing, again read some stuff on here and hopefully I've "resolved" that issue when it comes time to play again tomorrow. The graphics kick arse so I can't complain there too much, although the entire thing is a little frustrating as it seems the U-boat is lacking in detail (and yes it shows to someone who has never seen the inside of an actual U-boat unless you count U571 the movie as seeing the inside of a U-Boat). The crew seem lifeless and completely uninterested in anything that goes on and for some reason we still have the mysteriously disappearing crew when the submarine submerges and surfaces... I didnt see any crew move about when I hit the battlestations button and I wasted all twenty of my promotion points on one guy because I wasn't aware it was for everyone.

Keep in mind I have the Direct2Drive version which they delayed my being able to download untill 7:45 CST tonight... a little frustrating but it only took about 30 minutes to download from the D2D servers. No manual though, I could go digging through the install files if I really wanted to read it. Is it of any use?

Cheers, I'm off for the night, I have mixed feelings about this game so far... I just hope that modders are going to go crazy with the UI and bring back all the manual targeting stuff. I miss the older UI as stupid as it sounds.

And your right i should give more information in the game the morale has not dropped and everything is working fine at least for me im only offering my point of view on the game and its far from being complete but from what I have played so far im happy with it, And the voices and everything are great and the graphics but there needs to be some more patches released to make it complete but for a start its a really good game and there has been no graphics glitches at anytime during gameplay and the crew has responded to every command.

I can't tell if your being serious or not, You seem to go from the game is perfect then you say its not finished, then back to its perfect.

No Graphic glitches, what about all the clipping?
How can the game be perfect, if its far from finished?

Your view of things is very diferent from everyone else.

I'm not saying his view should be the same as everyone elses.
