I know alot of you guys are angry, but lets keep it leveled.

Nope... your not the only one. Which is why I didnt run out and pre-order. I did pre-order (or buy on first week) SH3 and SH4..... after SH4 I said never again.

Im hearing the same arguments and counter-arguments about the game I heard with SH3 and especially SH4.

Game is half baked and not finished (argument)

But the graphics make it worth it (counter argument)

or my favorite

If you didnt run out and buy this at release Ubi wont make the series anymore! Be Happy there is even a SH5 (another worthless counter)

Meanwhile UBI thinks the market for a good sub-sim is dried up because they didnt sell 1,000,000 copies of SH5 the first week. Selling even less than SH4 did and that was less than SH3 did.

UBI doesnt DARE ask itself WHY intial sales are lower.... they just know they are lower.

I can honestly say I'd blame their marketing department on that. I didn't see any ads, commercials, heck even blurbs in the gaming pages I go to. Well not until I saw the articles appear on the DRM issues.

To be honest found out about SH5 quite by accident while browsing the "soon to be released" section at my local Gamestop. Found this forum shortly after (And also found out about the U-Boat add on for SH4 through this forum)

I don't feel ripped off. I think I had pretty realistic expectations going in, having seen the same thing with the earlier titles. I mainly bought it early so I could fiddle with the files.

However, I did buy the Gold Edition expecting the 'strategy guide' to be what the manual should have been. The strategy guide is as big a joke as the manual. I do feel I wasted my money there.

HeLLo
Hélas, the game is unplayable out of the box with that poor manual. It's just a shame.
But, now, I've to practice and forget that poor impression.
Good luck all
