[UNCOVERED] SH5 officially left for dead!

Sailor Steve · 07-21-10, 09:07 AM

John, you left out SH3, which truly has been officially dead for almost half a decade now, yet is still being made better almost daily. Yes, it is more complete at its core than any of the others, and its true there have only been two patches for SH5, but that doesn't mean there won't be another. And, contrary to the negative opinions, those with the ability to do so are exploring the secrets of the coding the devs left for them to use.

Negativity, believe it or not, is always welcome, as long as it's openly debated and not just an insult. Has anyone else noticed that the people saying the SH5 is dead, including the OP, have made that claim once and then not had the fortitude, or the graciousness, to stick around and discuss it. To steal a great quote "It's only mostly dead, not all dead."

To what? Anything helpful to offer, or just insults?

A very wise man I have the good fortune to work with once said that skepticism is healthy in that it can lead to honest debate that can inform a better outcome.

Cynicism, on the other hand, is fatal

Been a whole lot of cynicism of late.

Hmmm, I have to make a note of that. I often surprise myself as being skeptical.

All our troubles will be over when the final patch is released.
Here's an insiders leak of the process so far.

Ubi is packaging SHII, III, IV(+the mission pack) and V ( The Gold edition) together in one package at 50% off for a limited time. I suppose most of you know this by now. I am on the mailing list and I received the email today.

See there, Ubi hasn't forgot us they're still shaking the trees and raking the leaves.

...and milking us for all we got.

And it's called....
Silent Hunter: Triton Class Bundle

EDIT:

BTW, what in the hell is SH5 gold edition all about? I'm guessing its the usual copy plus the two patch's on one CD rebranded to get fleece some more cash out of people.

They named it after a class of submarines that have essentially nothing to do with any of the games in the bundle.

Brilliant ubi marketing again.

Might work for some. Won't work with me. They know what they need to do to get my money, and once they do that they won't have to offer any tricky deals. I'll pay full price for it.

No, you misunderstand. The naming has nothing to do with the British T Class submarine (or for that matter, USS Triton of the 1960s); given all the continuous analogies to motorcars here, it's clear to me that they really mean this kind of Triton Class...

See, it's like, well, if I buy a Mitsubishi Triton...
