How could a game go uncompleted with two the most fundamental and integral part of the simulation (Radar and TDC broken)? This is all I'm asking for. What the heck? These two things not working are not a good thing.

After reading this, my only regret is wasting money on the DE version. Ah well, I won't make this mistake again, at least not where Ubisoft is concerned.

Live and learn.

I'm almost with you, but not yet. I'm going to wait for official word and not the rumormill before making that decision.

But if there's not going to be any 1.3, Ubisoft just lost themself a customer, regardless of the title.

I'm with you on that one. I'll wait until it's official and if it's true, Ubi will never get my money again. That's a promise. Until then I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Withdraw this, sir! You are not bowing at the altar of Ubisoft! This thread will be locked in 10, 9, 8 . . .

Ah well, it looks like its back to SH3 and GWX from which I wish I stuck to rather than set my hopes up.

My question is this

What from SH4 can we safely put into SH3? Someone must have explored this?

Is it me or has this past 12 months been a big dissapointment regarding game quality of any company and all types.

I have found myself being very synical lately regarding released products and think I am joining those whom wait for 4 pathces to be released before commiting to a sale on the hype of the company.

Their loss, I was a big spender as far as individual consumer was concerned.

Now I am just a cheapscate who will wait till it drops and has been released for ages before buying.

Sorry for not being patient and waiting for official word. The fact that there has been no offical word says it all to me.

Oh I will too.

I meant specifically not ordering any special, limited or exclusive editions of any future titles published or developed through Ubisoft. Definitely no more pre-orders and only standard and basic editions from here on in. And only then, once I'm convinced the product works as intended. Even if we get another patch it won't change my mind. I want a responsible publisher who desires to fix their product on their own accord and in good conscience because it's the ethical thing to do. Not one one that needs to be pulled by their ear, kicking and screaming all because the community is in an uproar over their apparent abandonment of an unfinished product.

Thats the most sensible thing I've heard yet.

It looks like sales are down and they cant justify another patch.

But I cant understand how they are going to increase sales with a product that doesnt work properly.

please fix the radar and manual speed issues

Yeah, people read that they aren't going to fix glaring, showstopping bugs, and then decide not to buy the product, what a surprise.

The problem, IMO, is that they think of each title in a vacuum, not the branding of "Ubi Soft." If the ubi brand becomes "mud" it won't matter what they put out, everyone will wait to buy until a title is demonstrably finished.
