I'm not playing this game.

All valid points.

After installing SH4 UI, at least I have the compass, depth, and speed meteres (btw I hate SH4 GUI too). Other major gamebreaking points:

0. Game installer has to be explicitly run as administrator, because the patch can't run as user at all. This is why I couldn't install the patch before.

1. No neutral buoyancy anymore (as Doenitz ordered in airplane infested waters) . Any depth deeper than 5m is considered as submerged, electronic engines, and locked hatch. I can lock myself out too.

2. Had to install "no surface hydrophone mod", to stop hydrophones working. What the hell? Developers suck big time.

3. "Tiefe unter keel" doesn't work. Inconceivable.

4. Crew animation is a disaster. In SH3/GWX I could see the tenseness on their faces, they had believable movements. Here, they do squat. But hey I can talk to them about wives and sons, and whatnot. Where are the daily routines? Can't I have a dinner with my officers? Crew = huge immersion killer. I want to kill them all.

5. Ship AI is still SH3-style, crashing into the walls of Kiel Channel until they die. Do they still see through landmasses? I bet they do.

6. Crash dive in shallow waters doesn't damage the sub.

7. Sometimes on the nav map there's an enemy merchant in Kiel Channel (how did the watch see it through the landmass???), but it disappears when I get there.

Oh, and I found these while I'm not even out of Kiel. What horrendous abominations will I discover later?..

I would say for myself, that the awkward problem I have with games in general, is that it is awful 'not knowing' how things will work out.

On that note, I want to add that I will probably never try out Star Trek Online, because I cannot see it becoming something I want to play. Having spent over three years with Eve Online, that made it difficult to appreciate other MMO games. And then I got fed up with the devs at ccp so I trashed my chars and left it all not looking back

I'm going to sit and wait it out for when the mods start coming. Ive played SH5 for about 5 hrs and that was the day i got it last week. Haven't gone back. Its not a bad game its more personal for me I hate consoles and this game reminds me of a console game.
