Oh relax, there's a LOT of us. The funny thing was that a lot of people never said "SH5 is a mess, devs please fix it", they jumped directly to "SH5 is a mess, get to work modders!".

Did you hear that Ducimus? GET TO WORK!!! You lazy bum

(joking ofc)

Of course we did. Why wait for a patch when most of the complaints are tiny little things that it takes five minutes for us to fix ourselves?

I don't think you get the point... most people that bought the game had never heard about Subsim. The bugs in the game made a lot of people join this forum lately. There are a lot of people who don't use mods. The lack of info in the manual and the incomplete cammands and interface are not "tiny things', even though they were modded fast and painless. But the Save issues are humongous. Until they're fixed there's no reason to waste time on SH5 for any mod, regardless how simple it is and how good the modding tools are.

To use a car metaphor, it's like buying a car and when you see there's no steering wheel installed, you're told: "Well sir, we didn't have time to install a steering wheel. We suggest you go to MOMO.com and order a nice sport steering wheel. Most of our old customers were already doing that so we thought we left the wheel out and concentrate on the paint..."

No. Not at all. A car is a car, a game is a game. I'm usually very open to metaphors, and I use them a lot myself, but sorry, but this just doesn't fly.

Oh come on... Steering wheel, compass? Momo.com, Subsim.com? No? Nothing?

piri_reis · 03-20-10, 06:29 PM

I just prefer to be patient.

This game will definitely get another patch or 2. They can't leave a very promising game in a buggy state. I'm guessing the sales would even pick up after the next patch and then with hopefully the sensible removal of OSP.

Considering all the new modding abilities, SH5 should be the best of the series in, well about 2 years..

You had me at "car metaphor".

Of course there will be patches, they have to patch it... right?

Adriatico · 03-20-10, 06:21 PM

Come on... bugs and noncences must be systematically fixed in ione download called patch.
Moders should make a game different, from arcade to sim, but not to clear and wash the garbage.

Could you imagine 14 years old kid, non English speaking, searching mod by mod, to make it playable... and not claiming refund to shop or website.

The problem is in the fact that modders are needed to bring the game up to the standard it should have been in the first place. Why should these people slave away, doing the developers' jobs, when they should instead be enjoying the game themselves?

Noren · 03-20-10, 06:03 PM

Yeah exactly. Its sad that we accept having several months long transition period where small, easily recognizable bugs are beeing fixed by modders. In the meantime, normal players shelf the game or play with inferior quality.

But this thread is about news about patches. Im more worried about the silence from ubisoft, dont they love us? We are their customers...

That's exactly why I stopped modding SH5. I am not working for free any more to fix UBI's broken, unfinished crap.
