How's the hold out crowd holding up? - Page 28

HEMISENT · 07-12-10, 08:51 AM

I guess I'm of the same mind set as Steve, I'll gladly pay full price for SH5 once the drm is no longer present. The way things are going that may be awhile and by then our modders will have more time to work their magic and hopefully make it closer to something it should have been in the first place.
I'm not looking for another patch and certainly hold out little hope to no hope for an expansion of the series. I think Ubi shot themselves in the foot with a dull bullet over this one.

Nothing to add ...i 100% agree .

No change here. Without additional patches and DRM removal, I'll follow with interest but won't purchase.

There's no way a true Subsim fan could resist playing SH5 for this length of time. Have got hold of a pirate copy TDK1044?

I agree that the game needs another Patch, but that day is never gonna come. My hope is that the modding Community work their magic, they've already done so much. Of course you couldn't comment because you've never played the game...... right?

TDK1044 · 07-12-10, 09:32 AM

Nope. No pirate copy. I'm happily playing Silent Hunter IV 1.5. From what I've seen and heard, I have no desire to play Silent Hunter V at this time.

The modders can't fix everything that needs fixing with 5...it needs at least one more patch.

Wasn't there a rule for this kind of talk? Or it doesn't count after one thousand posts?

Since by all accounts SH5 is not yet a true subsim...

Touché...

Sadly it's not entirely a joke either.

Same here - just slowly losing interest (no DRM removal in sight)

It's a game where the sub behaves much like the one in your sig!

Its not for me until I see full crew management like SH3,full host of uboats and full war (39-45),no online DRM crap.Not going to hold my breath though.I feel I am not missing anything.Graphics are not at the top of my priority list.Immersion and playability is.

Never played it myself but I can resist easily. The litany of problems starting with the DRM and especially the borked campaign, lack of units, AI problems reported here have been well and truly enough to keep me from even considering playing it even if I had a copy of any ilk. A free pile of turds is still a pile of turds, polished or otherwise.

There lies the rub. Ubisoft badly missed the mark with this release and unfortunately the community is now sadly suffering the demise of the genre.

Still ignoring SH5. Haven't followed what was going on for months. I hate to appear smug, but it's hardly a surprise to see it having been abandoned by UBI just as the doubters said it would be. I remember them taking a lot of flak from the UBI/DRM lovers for their heresy back in the day, yet it seems that they are the ones with egg on their faces now.
