Have you got a link to the review?

Feuer Frei! · 04-14-10, 03:41 AM

Nope, does the O.P. ?

PC Format is a UK print magazine, not sure they post reviews online. The PC Zone magazine review (another UK printed title from the same company) has also been published and gives the game 49%. I think the quality of reviews in both magazines is rather poor and juvenile and in the case of SH usually littered with mistakes like the comparison to Carrier Command above.

Both PC Format & PC Zone are more intent on writing "clever" puns than actually reviewing games properly as the wide variation in scores from two magazines from the same company shows.

No i haven't, why?
If you are alluding as to why i made the comment about only interested in eye candy, well, i was picking up from the O P, who seems to be the only person (so far) who has read the review.
Maybe i should have rephrased the comment to: perhaps they are moreso interested in eye candy.

No, I was just wondering what the general tone of the review was. The OP thought it was a fair review, so I was interested in what others thought. It was a long time ago since I played carrier command, but as far as I can recall, you went round islands, seeding them and battling the enemy carrier. I don't really see how SH5 is like carrirer command at all, but the OP agreed. I asked you for a link, as you responded quickly, so I thought you'd done a search for it, as I couldn't find it.

Not a problem, would also like to read the review, and searched but couldn't find anything.
Maybe the OP has a source link?
Edit: maybe not, as Sonarman points out.

Feuer Frei! · 04-14-10, 05:04 AM

Nope, no online access to that, you have to buy the magazine:

Under "Play Previews"
Hmm, preview?

Every review you read will be slightly different, we all see the world through our own eyes differently.

The graphics are outstanding, and the detail in the interior of the boat is as close as they could of got it i think.

DRM is not an issue for me, after a while you forget its there.
Game-play needs some work, but the people who mod the game have done wonders in a very short space of time.

With this new patch on its way, and another one (or two) to follow, this will mature into the best SH yet.

Some people will never be satisfied with what they get, the biggest detractors are the ones that haven't even bought the game yet, but they will slowly be left behind as we sail on to bigger and better things.

Bottom line, give the game time to mature, and it will stop being a game and become a Sim.

Any hoo, thats my two bobs worth, flame away.

From the beginning, I have to tell you that I have the game (as a gift from my brother) but I can't play it because of my old PC. My brother must buy for me a good PC too

.
But ... because I am from Romania and I am interested in many things "made in Romania", I read lots of reviews about this game. There are good reviews too. I wonder you are surprised:

http://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/anali...lent-hunter-5/
These are just two examples.
My very personal point of view, is that all judgments made about this game started with "0 tolerance" for the project itself, because of that DRM.
I am a user of industrial software applications (elaborate mods for our own plants) and I can be sure that PERFECT SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS DOESN'T EXIST

. They are always not enough tested and they never fulfill all wishes or all needs.
Best wishes to all of you, and ... enjoy the game!

I have to wait a few months.

Ah yes, but who was asking for perfect software? I think what most of us wanted was a good subsim, or the very least a finished game. Alas...
and Welcome aboard matey
