AT LAST, you admit it!

Now it's better, we can understand what was previously the obvious but was giving us the feeling that we were ignored and taken for mere 12 years old idiots that were going to celebrate because we were discovering we could probably sit on the captain's bunk.

I guess admiting that is certainly no part of the "information plan" lol so thanks for indulging us here. Now it's only honest.

LOL!

It's funny when considering the processes involved in a SH title. Usually it goes something like this:

Community: Where's our new Sim? Come on Dev, stop being slack!
Devs: Development has ceased on the SH genre.
Community: Ah go on!
Devs: Ok then.
Community: Where's the demo, info, screenshots, what included etc......
Devs: Here you go!
Community: Drool, the new SH is the leet! Nothing will ever be beteh!
Devs: Thanks, the community makes this worth while.
Community: Where's more stuff?
.
.
.
Community: Why is this like this, why have you added this, where is my realistic sim, where's the............
Devs:

Devs: SH5 is released, get it here!
Community: This is the biggest load of.............we've ever seen. We'll have to wait for modders to 'fix' it.
Devs: Sweet, so glad we did this.

We'll leave him alone if you show us a pic of the TDC interface

Edit: I don't think it will work, but hey, it was worth a shot.

You know what's really amusing is that there are people asking such dorky questions in the first place

Méo · 01-13-10, 12:30 PM

@danlisa

Agree 100%

TDK1044 · 01-13-10, 12:45 PM

The game will be released to the usual mixture of excitement and disappointment. The Devs will then work on some patches and the modders will work on some mods.

Then will come the GWX calls........I've seen this pattern somewhere before. I can't quite place it though.

Sailor Steve · 01-13-10, 02:17 PM

My take on this thread:

TDK1044: Funny, witty, entertaining, and most of all, friendly.

oscar19681: Also very entertaining.

UberGruber: Bitter, angry ranting pretending to be humor. Neither funny nor entertaining.

Lanzfeld: A little funnier, but still based in anger.

Danlisa: Bringing the "fun" back to funny.

Just my opinions.

Lanzfeld · 01-13-10, 03:07 PM

If I seem like I am "based in anger" I have to say you are right on.

I guess I am just sick of waiting for all the MAJOR things we have been asking for since the start. I am so frikkin' perplexed why these issues are still "being looked at".

1. Compressed air.
2. Accurate damage model to sub.
3. Sensors that perform to real life specs.
4. A realistic view distance and visibility (variable with weather).
5. Realistic lookouts who are neither perfect or blind.
6. Ect...you know the rest.

Been asking for it forever. Why someone cant sit down and start with these I just cant figure out. Well....I can... graphics sell. $$$

Just sick of hoping.

Onkel Neal · 01-13-10, 04:30 PM

If I recall, you were angry through the run up to SH2, SH3, and SH4, right?

And I agree. I keep hoping those things will be fixed as well, and I don't mind your expressions of anger. I just disagreed with them as compared with the humorous tone TDK took when he started it.

To each his own.

Neal,

You recall in error.

Oh yeah....didnt you give stock SH-3 a 100% rating? Please.

longam · 01-13-10, 06:43 PM

Development problem fixed.

"Well its apparent the this world of SH5 will not survive without GWX team taking a bunch of mods made by many excellent modders in our community and making a super mod"

But there were many super mods made for SH4?

Edit: removed the quote
