installed or uninstalled? actively playing? plans? - Page 4

I have uninstalled it and am waiting both for 1.3 and to decide whether or not I want to buy a new computer just to run this game, since it won't run correctly on any of the 6 computers I own and the I don't play sims for the eye-candy that keeps killing it.

While my computer that I used to have is out of commission and I am waiting for my new computer to arrive at my doorstep, I am not playing SH4 as you might suspect. But before the hard drive failed on my old computer I was playing SH4 religiously and having a blast! I voted for installed and playing happily because that was what I was doing before and it is most fitting now.

I don't have time to fill out this poll because I am too busy chasing two merchants in the Bismark Sea who JUST WON'T DIE!

(Of course, it would help if I actually hit them with torpedos. The weather modeling in this sim is a B***H!)

Uninstalled, most likely will never touch it again. Luckily I got it very cheap. :p

sabot · 06-17-07, 10:21 AM

Installed and playing when I can.

This poll is something of an eye-opener. Were I to have received this sort of customer feedback in some of my previous jobs I'd probably have been sacked, or at least read the riot act.

Given that more people will have the same feelings but not tell you about it, these numbers are an indictment IMO.

I've always felt SH4 is a travesty, and no amount of modding is likely to correct the most egregious flaws.

SH4: Deep-sixed in the Pacific!

Now, back to SH3 and HoI2 and MTW2 etc.....

John Channing · 06-17-07, 02:31 PM

Given your third statement, your first two are not all surprising.

And this is hardly a scientific, or ever reliable, indicator of anything.

Cripes some the the pure BS I read here is incredible. It's almost comedic.

Playing when I can but doing other projects as time permits including real life Honey Do projects.

Takeda Shingen · 06-17-07, 04:41 PM

My option is not listed, so it will be given in the verbose:

I am playing and enjoying SHIV while awating 1.3.

macky · 06-17-07, 04:53 PM

my option not listed either. Rarely play it due to rl atm.

I doubt the problems would keep me away from playing as I dont do manual targeting (cos I cant give enough time to learn how to do it unless a real nub guide comes available that shows me step by step from the beginning

)

So my only excuse is lack of time...tho I am hoping to get it on soon as I really love the sim (played SH3 till my eyes bled

)

is there a point to this poll?

Yes there is. For those of us who paid $60, and only get pleasure out of the game from its pretty plastic cover, at least it doesn't feel like our crying is the only voice in the wilderness.

Besides, if forums are a place where devs and publishers come for market intelligence and customer opinion - like magazines, developers and publishers claim they do - then maybe they'll get the message that their odacity of releasing a half baked game is turning people off.

Nah, you're right...it's just another bitch-fest. Oh well, one can only hope...

If you think the support/release of this game is bad, why would you go back to MTW2

That game was in worse condition than this one and has spook patch releases and everything! SEGA is not made of win. Not to mention the forums are full of whiners and grumpy moderators.

LOL, I seem to remember in real life our torpedos were pretty buggy too for the first few years of the war....the more things change.....

Oh, and I bought two copies, to support the war effort, as it were, and in the hopes that sims like this, don't die.
