Neal must know people "on the inside"... a day after his post here they release Patch #2.

I actually forgot this was due out this month. Spotted it for the first time in a Game shop today. I picked it up and debated buying it. It was only £19.99. I remembered how buggy SH games have been on release and put it back.

Reading various reviews has show me that that was perhaps the wisest choice. I refuse to simply support the developers by buying a bug-ridden game that I might be able to play in 6 months or a year.

I will check back here from time to time and see how things are going.

I am at work right now but USPS.com says (according to the tracking #) SH5 was received at my town post office at 4:02 am this morning. Oh oh.. oh.. man! 3 more hours before I get out of work.

Hmmm... am I starting to feel sick?

You are definitely looking pale. I think you should take the rest of the day off and "rest".

Crank time compression up to 1024, and you'll be there in no time.

NOOOO!!! He'll crash his car before he gets there! It won't tell him the light changed, and it won't drop to 1x until it's too late!

Hi, recently I see Das Boot Movie and it's

I interested to buy Silent Hunter 5, but all that I read about it say that's very buggy and at end of your review (Mar 17, 2010 by Neal Stevens) you say "Would I recommend buying SH5? No...."

Its time to buy it?

UBI already make his job?

Wait for the $5 dollars promo in the Steam Store?

Thanks

Necro'd a Necro, nice!

It's definitely worth buying, but don't get it from Steam, pay the $9 to get the DVD off Amazon or something. Steam has a lot of problems with regards to modding, and modding is ESSENTIAL.

Many of the bugs that plagued SH5 way back when have been fixed. The modding community has fixed many more and improved and expanded the game into a very playable and enjoyable state.

Ubisoft has basically completely abandoned the product. You do still need to log in online to start the game, but you no longer need to be connected constantly to play it.

Good review!

jenewman2 · 10-22-11, 06:22 AM

Just one comment: I can't agree that SHIII is the best ever. Nothing has come close to Jane's 688(I), and probably never will since Jane's was told to stop sharing the actual technology.

I have generated my own opinions of SH5, and they are quite complex and hard to explain. Thank you very much for taking care of this responsibility. If anyone asks me what my opinion of SH5 is, I shall forward them onto your review.

Top shelf dude!
