You see, I think SH3 was a far better and more complete game out of the box. I can clearly remember playing it and enjoying it long before I found Subsim and discovered all the lovely mods.

It could be that without Subsim your expectations were less then what they are now.

That could be true.Thing is I'm quite picky about my games - they either grab me or they don't. Sh3 grabbed me in a big way, Sh5 hasn't.

As you say I might be more choosey about my subsims because of .....well Subsim. Or it might be that Sh5 doesn't deliver.

I can't be sure to be honest..

I played the heck out of SH3 and SH4...still do in fact. I bought SH5, played it 3 times and haven't touched it since.

It seems the devs have alot of work to do.

That's the same for me. I think that's because SH3 was such a big leap forward. I remember when I first saw the E3 trailer demo thingy where the sub was sailing along next to some icebergs and all of a sidden an enemy battlefleet was revealed and the order to crash dive was given, with the bell ringing and the crew shouting. Then the planes came in and attacked the fleet. Pure PR rubbish, was obvisouly a scripted mission, as you'd never be sailing along and all of a sudden see an enemy task force a few hundred metres away, but all I could think was 'Oh yeah!'. It's because of that that I didn't mind SH3 crashing to desktop when I hit the auto crew management button. I just said 'Oh' and loaded it back up again.

I've been holding out forever hoping UBISoft will patch out the constant need for Internet access. Comcast is fantastically unreliable and considering I can't load Youtube vidoes half the time, I doubt UBISoft server support will be much better.

That said, are there mods that can patch that out of purchased games? If not, then I still won't buy it and won't be aparty to this crap. But if it is (without resorting to piracy) I will get it on sale.

Don't even ask that question here.
