Sticking with SH 4 myself.Only big thing SH 4 needs is more interior which some started but were unable to finish.

That's a good point about Ubisoft being paid for the modders cleanup work. That's not cool...

I tried the game for two days then gave up and uninstalled it. I'll give it a shot again in six months after the mods do their good stuff and Ubisoft releases how many ever patches they'll need to make it work right.

I don't understand how Ubisoft could release such an incomplete and poorly designed product. They used to be the standard of quality. Now, after the weak SHIV release and now this mess with SH5, I will never buy a Ubisoft product again until I have the opportunity to read game website and user reviews.

EXACTLY!... The thing is, I absolutely love subsims (as far back as Silent Service for the NES) and I have purchased all of the Silent Hunter series
without ever considering a review of it, call it "love-blind stupidity". Same thing here with SH5, I bought it the day it was released because I knew that Ubisoft was really on the right track (well at least with their last couple of series SH3, Sh4, and the U-boat add-on) Thanks to this very talented community, they are going to save Ubisofts debacle. I know that with time Silent Hunter 5 will come out perfect! How much time and effort, that is the real question.

What makes everyone think that the modders will actually be able to fix this god?

Will they be able to add two years of war? Will they be able to add a Type II or a Type IX U-Boat for example?

That's just for starters.

Personally, I think SH5 is hopeless.

Ye of little faith....
The modders are releasing, day by day, give them time!

Oh, I've no doubt that the modders will produce some excellent work. Their track record (unlike UBI's) is absolutely sterling.

However, my lack of "faith" lies with the SH5 itself, not the modders.

Except the modding scene is not what it used to be 2-3 years ago.

And if I were to start modding SH, I'd probably stick to SH3 or SH4 which already offers a more solid base and a lot of shared knowledge.

The difference in graphics is negligible between SH4 and SH5 except the hardware requirements are much higher.

Admittedly I haven't played it yet, but from what I've read here I think that after three more patches (the seemingly norm for the SH series), 12 more months of "modder exploration", and the removal of DRM, I think SH5 could be a lot of things to a lot of players. I see SH5 as a long term investment, with the greatest return not to occur until way off into the future.

Is this the way the game should have been released? Maybe not, but it is what it is and at the moment for me it's a naked, wet, screaming 2 week old kid.
