Shelve it until they mod and patch it?/ incomplete game?(merged)

[Snakeeyes]

Moi.

I figure in 8 months it will rock thanks to the incredible programmers, skinners, modders and de-buggers in this community.

seeing,reading and listening to these threads has bummed me totally!! Are we settling for an incomplete game?
Just for the allmightly dollar? if the sh4 sim isn't right Than by golly the leaders here need to say so!!! In my opion looks like sh4 was throw together with loads either left out copied from sh3-or- the attitude of (Let someone else fix that)) has anyone tryed mulitplayer? because it sounds like single player is a diaster to me! Personally I hope not because we need great sub sims!! I don't own the game so its really hard to say BUT IF YOU DO OWN IT and are unhappy please say so!!! not just because you shelled out 50$ and defending that it was worth it..Is sh4 a sub SIMULATOR or a GAME?

I'm shelving it. Not worth the headaches. I don't think it's right for Ubisoft to use paying customers as beta testers and to use community vulunteer modders to fix and finish their unfinished and buggy product. Hopefully someday UBI will actually finish the game with a few patches. I'm going back to playing War in the Pacific. Now that's the game of all games. Excellent patch support, too.

Why not ask for a balanced opinion? If all you want to hear is negative stuff then that's all you'll hear. Sounds like you already made up your mind to not like it.

If you want the truth currently its more of a game.

Ill be playing a lot of SH3 with some SH4 its hard to explain but it just seems like something is missing and instead of having fun playing its irritating....

[vodkavera]

WHAT?
Are you crazy. :hmm:
Not playing it....at all?

If I remeber correctly the first patch for SH III came just a month after the game was released.

Just got my copy and I will play tonight unless WWW III starts.....nah I´ll play tonight anyway.

Yeah, something is missing.. like half of the promised game features. :rotfl:

[MarshalLaw]

There is not a game made that does not have some problems at release. If SH3 is used as a guide, we should see the 1st patch in the next 30-60 days. Is it frustrating.... yeah but I feel most problems that we are seeing now will be resolved in short order. To many talented people here to let this die on the vine.

Silent 3 was released bad... but not this bad.

[Sheppard]

I can understand problems, etc with games; with the complexity of games nowadays, bugs can creep into the game, but right now there are several bugs which make the game hard to play

1.) Metric! How am I supposed to remember the crush depth of my boats when everything I have lists them in feet, but the game uses metric?

2.) large amounts of missing functionality, compared to SH3; by this I mean being able to click on our officers, and then order them to do things like "plot torpedo solution" etc, "give me the range on nearest visual target". It also appears that clicking on the TBT on the bridge to bring it up doesn't work, only the "go to TBT" button at the bottom of the screen.

I can only say this. Sod off guys. If you bough the game, atleast give a good weeks play and not shelving it right away. I played SH3 for a lot of time, before I shelved it. Due to the experience this community has gotten in the last year, I'm sure we'll have the game running tip top in a short ammount of time.

It shouldn't be the job of community volunteer modders to fix broken or missing game features. That's what the developers are paid to do. Besides, we can't fix most of it anyways without the SDK.
