SH5 patch #2

[SabreHawk]

Seems to me they dont have to announce it, we've done a pretty good job of that.
And if they did, who thinks that would change the way folks talk?
Thats right, it wouldn't change a thing. People would still bitch, and still ask why.
And the same thing would be true, and even worse had they delayed the release of the entire game period.

People would still be in here whinning "Where's the game, you said March 4th, it's now April what are you ingrates doing?"

So why try to diffuse a bomb that has already gone off?
And besides the negative folks I've seen here and at UBI's forums will find something wrong with anything they say, and dispute and argue anything they say.
So thats why they dont say.

So it is now the paying customers that have to make announcements of delays in patches.

You know what WOULD have stopped me bitching? A game where planes don't ignore you. A game where destroyers actually try to chase you. A game where I can't go into Scappa Flow at flank speed, spend my torpedo's and leave without issue.

And the same thing would be true, and even worse had they delayed the release of the entire game period.

Not true. My complaint and many others who are ligitimately upset (not the usual BOYCOTT UBISOFT crowd) is the fact I paid full price for a game that is not worth playing. As I wait for patched I notice the price dropping. I also notice the reviewers giving the game a pathetic score due to the bugs. This would not have occured if it was released in a better state hence I wouldn't be here typing rubbish replies to posts that make me angry.

People would still be in here whinning "Where's the game, you said March 4th, it's now April what are you ingrates doing?"

Yes people would be whinning that UBISOFT charge full price to a game yet obviously don't put full funding into development. Do you not feel you deserve to "GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR?"

So why try to diffuse a bomb that has already gone off?

So the companies policy is to ignore upset customers? Are you a politician?

It's UBISOFT's responsibility to keep paying customers updated as to when the game will be brought to a standard where it's worth paying for and playing. To say they don't have to announce it because everyone here is doing it... I can't reply to that comment on this forum in the way that it deserves... I guess a company that due to it's lack of health and safety practices caused the death of an employee wouldn't need to comment as the media would do that for them as well. (Extreme comparison but the meaning is the same)

I don't mean any attack on you by the way. Simply expressing my view to the many people like you who remind me of this:

Well ya could have fooled me, looks like an all out assult actually.
Nobody's ever dissected any post I've ever made, anywhere, on any forum like that. And then added something like the above to the end, wow.

But to be a good sport, I'll say if you changed that sand to virtual seawater it'd be closer to the truth.

Welcome to the internet.

You must expect some kind of reply when throwing around words like "whinners" and "bitching".

I simply decided to put forth my thoughts on each part of your post. If you prefer I called have simply written one word.

FANBOY!!!

Please just understand that people are simply fed-up of the gaming industry these days. Ubisoft arn't the only ones to release unfinished/unplayable games and it does get frustrating.

Well no welcome needed, been out here many years, and thats how I know how it wont matter what or how they say it. They'll get flamed anyway.
I know how folks feel, but at the end of the day it's just a game, nothing more. So I just dont understand how folks can get so uptight over it, even if they are in the right.

When I was in highschool.. a long time ago... I could purchase maybe 1 or 2 games a month.

It's just a game yes, but it's also something you buy. I spend time at work for my money, I work hard for it. I don't waste it. That is why I complain.

All of those things are in game now as mods, load them up and enjoy the game. But you'll probably just complain that you shouldn't have to load mods for that.
