Dunno about that, Sir D... I am playing your TMO 2.0 and loving it. Yes I am using the easier AI patch, but still enjoying the escorts aggressiveness. And for the life of me I dunno why... but I always thought there would be a shortage of targets in TMO - not the case at all, tagged a Kongo and a liner on the current patrol for some nice tonnage. Many thanks for your excellent work...

So basically, the holdout crowd is playing SH4 TMO 2.0...

i am holding out for both the DRM crap, and mainly because i don't have a dual core processor.

call me old fashioned.

it looks cool though. is it historically correct? how does this run on laptops? does it run on laptops?

TarJak · 07-09-10, 08:23 PM

Still no plans to buy until the internet tether is gone and the bugs are closer to being fixed. The price is still too high here at AU$45. When it hits $10 I might go get a copy to see how sucky it really is.

Justaguyinnc · 07-10-10, 09:27 AM

I stayed off this till it went on sale. At 30-35.00 I figure i did my part.
They paid for the drm on it, I got a deal on price. oh btw, their new UBIstore has it for 30 bucks this week.

I like sub games. I don't own the companies nor have any idea why they wish to do these drm things but, it's up to them. I feel as a community , yep we can boycott till the cow comes home, but who do we really hurt? How many more good submarine games (cough sims) are out there ?
How many days do you miss playing a wonderful game? controls are different? So, learn them again! it's a NEW version it suppose to be different! And hopefully better, which I find to "ME" is better.
Bugs? so? which version didn't have bugs that the community ended up fixing?

Did the lack of purchasing run UBISOFT off in support?
Who loses? and the big part..who cares? UBISOFT is not losing sleep.
More still buy this, and enjoy it.
Im through holding my breath and pouting.

This SH5 with a modding community will be the BEST in series!
You can stick your chests out and brag on SH3 and now SH4 , which was mudslung at first also. But in all honesty, i never seen a ships captian teleport to the next station. So out the window with the statements as best "sim". SH5 has the "feel" of being on a submarine and thats what I been looking for.

All SH5 needs is the modding community behind it. Which it seems to be having as of late. look up some mods..great work guys!!

I enjoy every minute in this SH5 and kinda wished I didn't pout at first about DRM which i could care less about and bought it at release, who knows, maybe then it would still be supported. sometimes, i think communites can hurt themselves. Subsim being the largest place for people to look at reviews etc by those that actually play it, could really damper a game as much as boost it.
Fortunate for myself, I know when enough is enough and go with my own thoughts. Especially when it deals in "my" fun time as I am not a fanatic about anything less then my grandchildren.

no need to flame me..it's all my opinion and I care less about anyone elses.. aint we all like that? lol

I Totally and Completely AGREE

TwistedFemur · 07-10-10, 08:40 PM

I have played it, and have no desire to buy it, or play it.

Brag · 07-10-10, 08:58 PM

Undrt no circumstances will I buy something so stupid as the OBS/DRM. That´s the big firewall that keeps me from submitting. Totally unacceptable.

I´m happy with SH3/GWX. No server crud, no hassles. The longer the DRM crud stays, the less interest in SH5.

I´m a happy and independent sailor telling Ubi, Take your cruddy DRM and shove it where it belongs

Yep, first time I saw it on store shelves, it was marked 50% off

Even still I wouldn't buy it.

Harmsway! · 07-11-10, 06:46 PM

Well DRM is holding me back but now with SH5 priced at $20 bucks it almost doesn't matter anymore. I mean I spent more on taking my wife to a movie and that last only a couple hours.

I'm still holding out though. More so until I get a better gaming machine.

Sailor Steve · 07-11-10, 08:25 PM

The DRM is wrong, period. If somebody gave me a copy I would give it right back. If the DRM is removed, I will gladly pay full price. It's not a matter of price vs worth, it's a matter of principle.

Icerider · 07-12-10, 07:42 AM

Still sailin' SH IV till the DRM dies.

wingtip · 07-12-10, 08:27 AM

I bought sh 3 and sh4 but i still refuse to buy sh5... holding out just fine ubi... choke on that.

By the time they dump drm and fix some more bugs (not all im sure) they will be halfway finished with sh6 and i'll just wait for that...and if they decide not to do another sh title then its their own dam fault for shoveling that crap they call sh5 out the door..... I have no desire at the moment to purchase sh5 and be troubled by all its failures...

Currently im enjoying arma2 operation arrowhead for my sim needs

wake up ubi and smell the diesel fuel...

WarlordATF · 07-12-10, 08:40 AM

Still holding out.

First off, i prefer fleetboats which is the true origin of Silent Hunter. U-Boats are ok, but they just don't draw me in like the US Subs.

Second, The DRM is too heavy handed IMO. Its like Ubi telling me that i can only play the game their way and thats not a good tactic to get money outta my wallet.

Third, Since FlakMonkeys Interior was released for SH3 i can almost walk the sub from one end to the other (minus the torpedo rooms) in a sim that spans the entire war and has most of the bugs worked out. A little bit of eye candy will never replace good solid game play IMO so SH5 does not have much to offer me over a modded SH3.

Lastly, from the screenshots i have seen, i hate the user interface. It should look like the actual controls, not something from star wars. That UI is so generic it could be used in almost any naval sim and reflects very little of what the actual U-Boat controls were like.

So, I'm doing just fine without it. If they drop the DRM i might buy it to check it out, but i doubt it will ever be on my "Must Buy" list.
