Massive Price Drop!

[alexradu89]

I don't know about you all but I for one actually CAN'T wait to play SH5 vanilla once we get the FINAL patch...sadly it's going to take a long while apparently And of course I'm waiting for the mods, IF they're any good...but there probably won't ever be a better one than GWX >.>

No disrespect for SH3/GWX but I like the fleet boats better.

I agree about the tonnage quotas being gamey, but the AI problem was clearly not meant to be. The AI is a bug, not a design choice in order to make the game arcadey.

No you really dont want to play vanilla :-) Honestly, out of the box the game is in very poor state. But with a few mods it makes it playable.

"I also notice that the some of the Romanian developers frequent the site and i wish we could get a clear statement from someone that they will at least fix the AI so the modders have something decent to work with"

Some really good points made on this thread , all of which I agree with. The above however is the real "Deal Breaker" for me.

I find the complete lack of communication from either the devs or Ubisoft as a whole, frankly quite disturbing. Are we to believe that the game will be left in this state? If there is another patch on the horizon then why is no-one saying anything?

I agree that bugs the most. I see these devs around defending their product which is great, but they seem to forget that most of us paid over good money for their work, and the AI as it stands is truly reprehensible.

I'd be satisfied with a promise that they will "do what they can" with the AI in a patch. But we havent even got that commitment from them.

As it stands right now, the only real losers in this from a contractual point of view are the folks who bought the game.

translation;
gamedeveloper ubisoft says sorry after messing up with the new copyprotection the company came up with.
the system requirs that users are permanently connected with an autentissety server.recently these servers where attacked,due to this manny users with a legal copy could not play the game.
dispite ubisoft's earlyer statements that this would be a verry stable service of theirs....

I think you'll find there's a fair mix.....the good the bad and the ugly.

I'm not quite sure who fits into whichever category though.

There are many great mods here already for 3, 4 and now 5. Folks put a lot of work into them Take some time and have a look.

Yes, I think Chess is technically a Military simulation game. I think Neal is old enough to remember it's invention too!

Lol, this guy cracks me up
