You honesty think Ubisoft has "audience plants" but doesn't even have an official community spokesman or any form of official communication about the game?

That's ridiculous.

Default you get adictet

It is playable, you just have to running back and forth every time there is a special order for a specifick person. And some of the SH3 orders are missing.
You can't skip recharging Batteri to get more speed.
The beloved gramofon is gone.
There are some label on different equipment that makes no sence.

But if you get startet it is very difficult to stop again.

Where's my check, Ubi? Being a shill costs money. Throw some shekels my way!

Good lord, this forum goes more into the crapper every day.

All of those problems have been fixed with mods. Check them out.

Only if you let it mookie , don't.

Also, there are threads that are crap, acheive crapper status , but SUBSIM in the end will still be here when the dust settles.

I'll continue to have fun with 5 despite all of this.

Yes, absolutely. "Audience plants" require no official backing on what they state. Official spokespersons and communications require accountability...whereas cheerleaders do not. In legalese mumbo jumbo it is called "Plausible Deniability", and is a common tactic to insert positive opinion where none or very little exists. My background is in Corporate Marketing. My company did it when we dropped the ball, and Ubisoft has shown by their actions over and over again that they are not above the same tactics. Do I have proof? Nope. Do I need proof? Nope. It is simply my opinion...but right or wrong I am not alone in thinking such cheerleading is taking place.

This thread exploded fast! And yes, SH5 is good. Very good.

Edit:
So what if there is "audience plants". I bet there is. But I like the game because I did find it entertaining, not because somebody else said it's good. Actually I bought this game even when almost all comments and reviews I checked forehand said Don't Buy, It Is Rubbish!

The plants are easily recognized as they use same key words in their Rah-rah posts. I wonder when they have time to play the game they so much enjoy as they are here posting all the time

The people who seem to feel the most insulted by it are the ones who didn't pay for it.
