It's not the first time buggy unfinished games have been released because
someone thought a deadline was more important than a quality product.
It's not the first time player have complained when this has happened
either.

It is, however, the fist time I have seen it this bad.

I agree. There were complaints about /3 and /4 when they were released, and well deserved, too. But, sheesh, I've never seen this level of frustration, bitterness, and anger before as regards SH5....

I guess people are as mad as hell and are not gonna take it anymore?...

This game is unfinished ... I love SH4, and if SH5 had the same commands available then I would be much happier. I think SH5 will turn out to be great with mods in the future, but without mods, well ... You can always hope that there will be a major patch to fix/ add the things that we expected to be there in the first place, but we'll see ...

The reality is this-
If your'er sick of unfinnished games (& DRM), buy a PS3 or a 360.
As a mainstream games platform the PC is something of a sinking ship....

we all want a finely polished sim out the box with no DRM..... but its not the 90's anymore,
its 2010 and simulators are unpopular. casual, retro & mobile gaming is where the money is at.

Such is life.

Even the PS3 and Xbox games have problems on first release. (I've got both of them lol) For instance, new game came out recently. Need to input a code to unlock content due to EA's "Ten dollar program" (They're trying to make it so you buy the game new as opposed to used)

Go to put the code in to "unlock" the rest of the game modes, place I have to do this is currently down. EA is "working on the problem but no ETA of functionality"

In other words, I have a game, that I can't play fully because I have to unlock stuff in it, and can't because the unlock server is down.

Other games have critical faults too when they release. Some of them I couldn't play at all on release day. It just seems they're pretty quick with patches on the console.

Did i feel ripped off?

Initially somewhat, but after i calmed down and kept playing no.

Are things missing and not working as intended? yes. am i miffed about that? yes.

But it's still playable, and it will only get better. If you continue to feel let down you will hate it. If you accept it for what it is and can have alittle patience while the modders & patches allow it to reach it's full potential... it is an investment worth every penny.

I dont mean to come of as apologetic for the devs... but it is what it is and im over it now.

Mods are aleady turning up to make it what it should have been.

I KNEW what I was buying when I plunked my credit card on BestBuys counter.

Anyone with decent eyesight and brains after watching videos and trailers KNEW what they were getting if they've ever played RPG\FPS games.

So What!!! Gonna whine now ?

I'm not gonna whine....promise

Cos i'm not gonna buy....promise

It's funny, but I feel just the opposite, even though I don't own the game. If not for 'IT' I would have bought it sight unseen, and not felt ripped off even as it seems to stand now.

SH3 had its problems. Most of them were fixed with patches, and the mods have made it a sim to remember.

SH4 had its problems. Most of them were fixed with patches. One more would have been nice. Thanks to work still being done on SH3, a lot of SH4's potential is still being ignored and I'm still hoping for the mods for that superior game.

SH5 has its problems. There has been one patch. It is looking to be more mod-friendly than any sub sim yet, and a year from now might be the game we truly want, even though 'we' means several different games.

Once 'IT' is gone I'll be buying it, so I can say with confidence that I won't feel ripped off once I have it, no matter how it turns out.

Their missiles needed precise information if they were to home in on the raid's primary target, the two American and one French carrier, or the mission was a wasted effort. The game was hide and seek, played over a million square miles of ocean. The losers died.
