Do we really want to ruin this forum with constant DRM and SH5 trashing?

[ETR3(SS)]

Well you know, you have the option to either

A. place the person(s) making DRM/moaning threads and or posts on ignore

or

B. not read those threads. And if by some chance you find yourself in one of those threads you can always use your browsers "Back" button.

Point being here, you don't have to read those posts or threads about said topic.

DRM has mostly gone away, the buggyness took it's place

Not many people are apposing the new negativity

I defo think we need more submoronic "Wot I think"-threads. Especially those concerning the state of DRM, the state of Ubi or the state of SHV. More feelings, less talking about submarines!

And nothing wrong with that. The moderators, and Neal, do keep a close eye on the forums, especially this one. They judge each thread by its own merits and decide what to lock and who to chastise based on their actual posts, not necessarily the subject. For the most part most of these have been fairly tame.

was'nt Marx who wrote "History always repeats itself, first as a tragedy, next as a farce".

I think we are now in the Pythonesque phase of DRM discussions.

No, no no... see this is what's really wrong with the forum.

We need MORE threads comparing SH5 to a car, in some way. The car can be broken down, or have no petrol (gas) or be incomplete in some way, just make sure that there is always at least one thread with a 'SH5 is like a (broken/rented/stolen/magic) car' theme in it.

I especially like the threads that are a poll about DRM, thinly disguised as a poll about something that isn't DRM e.g.

'I would have bought SH5, if it hadn't have been for the way that the DRM affected my tender feelings towards the manual'

or,

'I would have bought SH5, but the DRM affected the delicate magnetic compass in my head and I was unable to find my way to the shops to purchase it'

I especially like the threads that encourage people who haven't bought or played the game (not necessarily the same thing ;-) nudge, nudge, wink, wink) to offer up their own opinion, based on the 'facts' that they have read on the forum.

I personally would have bought SH5, but when I went to drive to the shop to buy it, it turned out that my car actually was a copy of SH5, which meant that I didn't need to buy it after all.

Oh please, lets not be overdramatic ok ?
The SH 5 section is not becoming one big flame war.


As long as the dicussions are civil, whats the problem ? People should learn to easy up, YOU enjoy SH 5 good for you. Some people don't and they have every right to express their views in a civil way. Just as many people express their enthusiasm about SH 5. Learn to avoid the threads you're not interested in.

[Iron Budokan]

Make a good game and it will be lauded and its praises sung to the stars.

Yeah. Sometimes it's really that simple.

[Gabucino]

But SH5 is just a DRM simulator itself.

[John Channing]

>>"Where's Falcon 5?"

It's called "Lock-on: Modern Air Combat", "Flaming Cliffs", and now "DCS: Black Shark".

Do me a favor? Hop on over to the Falcon 4 forums and post that. But let me know when you are going to do it so I can be there to watch the fun !

And if you think that Dangerous Waters was a successor to the Harpoon Series then you never played Harpoon. Fleet Command... maybe, but it fell far, far short.


There are a couple of successors to Harpoon (Red Pill and Global Conflict Blue) but they both have a long way to go.

So where are the independent Sub-sim producers?

Fair warning... every time I see somone trot that "independant producers will fill the void" line out I intend to challenge them to supply just one name. Just one.

[TwistedFemur]

I would like to petition the moderators of this forum, to lock down any more 'moan' topics

"we must silence the opposition"
-Saul Alinsky

I suggest from now on authors should use

[Rant] for anti SH5 thread and [Rave] for a pro SH% thread in the title ie:
[Rant] SH5 sux

I can't find anything on the internet about that particular quotation of Saul Alinsky - is it a genuine quotation, or are you paraphrasing? It seems strange for there to be no results found for that particular search.

Priceless

But then, especially in this discipline it is a bad one
