Does anyone else feel kinda... ripped off?

Judging by what I've seen in the past Ubi's forum isn't called Ubizoo for nothing.

Maybe because the SH community is more to a niche market unlike OF DR mainstream market? Anyway I went through DR without much hiccups except the dumb AI.

Great!

Now, I have another reason to go back to SH3.

It's funny, when I bought SH4 a few years ago, I found it unplayable and shelved it until a few days ago. It's still wobbly and inferior to SH3.

Now, I find that UBI has forced a release of an unfinished product yet again! I don't know why they couldn't have held fire and let the dev team complete the job. It's not like they're trying to get the Christmas rush or anything.

im actually enjoying Silent Hunter 5, its a very fun game, in MY oppinion, sure its buggy. But its playable.

I wasn't even impressed with SH4..... SH5 seems even worse than SH4.

I'm saving my money for DOW 2 Chaos Rising. Maybe you should save your money for something else too.

There are so many good games in the pipeline these days. We do not have to give Ubisoft a cent. And BF: BC2 is keeping me busy.

This is why I have a personal rule. I have stopped buying new games until 6-12 months after release. This way all of the patches and mods have been created and the companies like UBI are not getting my full business.

Now, I have to add to my rules and not purchase any game with this type of DRM.

Lol, I guess "3rd times a charm" is true to the SH series

1 Was good, 2 was also, IMO 3 was AWSOME, 4 pretty suckie at release, but got better, 5 (currently) Sucks.
maby its cause are expectations went up...

[Schunken]

Well....

Its not what I hope for, but I feel not ripped-off....

I bought Sh1 nice....

I bought Sh2 not so nice

I bought SH3 not so nice but after modders took care very playable

I bought SH4 bad, yes bad...but after modders take cair its fair....

I bought SH5 worse.....motr than worse

So how I feel?

I can not decide between:

a) stupid or
b) believe in the power of the modders....

I took b, nobody like to be stupid....

Has everyone (except Firewall who doesn't like to be included in generalisations) got brain damage leading to memory loss? SH3 was a buggy mess when it was released. Half the people playing it got CTDs when trying to auto manage the crew. The other half of the people turned on the first half and in true fanboy style ranted about it not being Ubi's fault if they didn't update their device drivers and such. Later it turned out that this game breaking side effect was in fact a bug and was patched out. Not one fanboy apologised for the false accusations of user error they may have made (they know who they are), how tragically predicatble. So no, SH3 wasn't awesome out of the box. Maybe your copy of SH5 came with some rose tinted spectacles, with which to review past silent hunter franchise history, but mine didn't.

If you think SH3 was awesome out of the box, you weren't there man!

Unless you mean by SH3 was awesome, that SH3 is awesome?

blame it on the suits not the devs.

I am still having CTD now, even in GWX, that is a stock issue that cannot be "modded". It "belongs" to the devs and to the devs only.
