After all the negative feedback this game has received pre-launch/launch/post launch, I'm not surprised they have given up.

Good luck getting another SH, I doubt they'll risk it again.

BAAM, there it is. The truth, directly in your face.





Let me finish this and say it like Michael did:

(SH5) This is it.
I told you and you didn`t listen, the last thing those monkeys cares about is clients. Got anything on they newest products?

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 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.

Well I'm extremely happy with my shiny new SH3 game, which only cost a fiver. I'm also extremely happy that in some small way it's a finger in the face of Ubisoft and their DRM shennanigans. For what it's worth, I live in Thailand and can walk about 50m from where I am right now and pick up a fully functioning pirate copy of SH5 for 2 pounds UK- with no internet requirement, it's all over the place- there are even shops operating inside superstores like Big C and Tesco who will also sell me the copy game. Laughable!

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...

Oh yes, and one in Chaweng, along with a Big C and Makros. The Thai's love them, sort of a leisure centre for them.....

£67 for that SH pack sounds a little steep but it'll probably appeal to some people who are new to the genre and want the lot in one ourchase
