[UNCOVERED] SH5 officially left for dead! - Page 10

Here's what REALLY happened...

On a dark, and stormy night two Ubi execs met.

1st Exec: "Hey, I have a great idea. Let's release SH5 tomorrow."

2nd Exec: "But it isn't completed."

1st Exec: "That's OK, we'll be saving a lot of money. The mods will improve on it...FOR FREE!"

Or more likely:

1st Exec: "Hey, I have a great idea. Let's release SH5 tomorrow."

2nd Exec: "What's SH5?"

Release unfinished games, this idea might also be of Codemasters CEO Rod Cousens

So I take it, if it's incomplete and there are no more patches being released it isn't worth buying then.

DavyJonesFootlocker · 07-24-10, 11:53 PM

The mods makes the difference. I'm not so sorry buying SH5. It's still playable.

i wouldnt say its a bad game, IMO while you CAN play it as bought its just "incomplete as released" but you will definately need mods to make it an enjoyable game.

if a friend ask me my opinion of sh5 today i would tell him its a very good game but he must use mods to make it that way and i would (again this is just my opinion) tell him to not pay more then $20 for it

I agree, SH3 out of the box, unpatched, and unmodded is unplayable garbage. The DRM, in my humblest of oppinions, is far less annoying than StarFarce was. And I'll happily pay for a half empty pitcher of beer, as long as i get free refills.

As always, it depends on what you want. Many people say they love it. Read what they say and if what it gives them is also what you want then go for it.

Others say it's okay. Read what they say and if it's enough for you then go for it.

The 'SH3 holdouts' want a complete war campaign with different u-boat types, plus many different merchant types. SH5 doesn't provide that...yet. Whether it can be made to remains to be seen.

Me, I just want the DRM to be gone so anybody can play it. Then I'll buy it, no questions asked. I probably won't play it much, since I'm one of the 'Multiple boats and whole war campaign' crowd. But I will look at the pretties, and I will see what can be done about ships and names.

The 'Holding Out' is not about being annoying. It's about the fact that a lot of people aren't allowed to play it at all. I can live with annoying. I refuse to live with tyrrany and domination.

Well put Steve....just about covers everyone to one degree or another

Depends...

On sale 50% off $68 NZ not cheap enough yet!

$20 then ill buy it and then ill open it up and start pulling out the crapola like the scripted missions and see what can be swapped edited and tweaked with SH3...As privateer stated its become a hobby figuring out what makes this game/sim series tick!

LMAO a corporation using free ware to fix the product they charge for!

A sign of the times "Corporate Welfare!"

My sentiments exactly.

But there are always options.

Suicide comes to mind.

I have two daughters - four and nine.

Tyranny and domination are the exact words that spring to mind.

And as for her Ladyship . . . !

As for SH5 I think it was only a matter of time that UbiSoft stopped any "official" support. Much more likely to have been sooner rather than later.

Surely now they have got nothing to lose by removing the DRM noose. Who knows - people might start buying it again.

Maybe that makes too much sense.
