They will wha...what..... bwahhahahaha

All Ubi has to do is look at the declining sales of SH4 vs. Sh3, and SH5 vs. SH4.... cripes.

Maybe I should be come one of those $100,000 consultant that comes into a multi-million dollar company, spends 3 days walking around and "observing", then tells upper-management what all the lower level management already KNOWS if they were just asked. Then that same consultant laughs all the way to the bank and upper management acts like the have had some kind of earth moving epiphany. This now leads to MONTHS of meetings/kaizen/lean events (whatever the flavor-du-jor is today) so all the employees will be told to do buisness in a completely different way that will be ignored and forgotten in 2 months.

Ahhh...sorry for the rant...not directed at you Sonar... just the one comment you made makes me laugh. IF the REAL reason SH5 sales sucked was a brick and hit Ubi in the head... the would think the sky is falling.

Ubi have done SH5,to try to see the light in the tunnel, but the are more focus on Tom Clancy and other action games.One thing is clear SH3+GWX lives for ever and SH4 for backup.

Only if you choose to see it that way. I never have. Some are overly gloomy, some are overly optimistic. In both cases that's their problem, as in both cases they don't have a clue what the real status of anything is.

Nor do I. I'm just saying I enjoy this place and don't let too much optimism or pessimism get to me.

Well said. I've refused to buy SH5 for my own reasons but I still support the game, no matter how bad some say it is, and once they'll let me I'll be getting it and doing what I can to help.

100% it has. Every indication implies that already for a while. The patching progress only tops it off with a cherry. Sad, but there are few good companies left today that are dedicated enough to finish such an (ideally) detailed and complex game. The big publishers have to much responsibility towards their stockholders -- nothing left for customers.
