SH4 just plain unappealing!

Ok, first off - I like UBISOFT Games and I have continually played SH2 and SH3 - and (kind of hesitantly) finally 'gave in' and bought SH4 - having passed it on the shelves a few times

(I have also recently finished all the GRAW (Ghost Recon) levels (but still periodically play SH3) and needed a new game to fill time in until GRAW-2 comes out in June.

I for one, didnt rush out and beat a path to EB to pick up SH4 because I kinda realized there might be some issues, that unfortunately, await the submarine playing community or the devs at UBISOFT to crawl all over and fix...

It seems to me, there is a lot of 'fixin' to do!

Well, for starters, I tell you IMHO it doesnt appear to compare to SH3 (in both graphics and game play) and I have a TOTL Gamers high end (Intel) machine, with dual cores and dual SLI GPU's, so I am not talking hardware here but actual renderings (radar/sonar as an example) and actual game play (stations) functions.

Also, looking in the data bundles, I can still see fragments of SH3 in there along with debug calls, so I suspect... the engine is the still basically the same but with new modules pegged on - admitedly there is a ton of code in there to remap the World etcetra but we should be expecting (at least) something comparable to what we would expect to see on a Wii or XBox 360 Screen NO?

So I think I will throw in the towel on SH4 and just say - it's disappointing to me individually but for those out there that are prepared to patch or mod it to death - you have more patience (or time) than me!

Finally, (as always) I applaud the modders out there that will spend immeasurable hours working on the fixes.

Remember, this is not knocking UBISOFT - but my personal disappointment (I am still planning to buy GRAW-2 and other UBISOFT products) they, after all, are no different to Microsoft who produced 'Flight Sim X' (I have that too!) and the forums there reflect similar feelings that the communities will be the ones to correct the game shortfalls!

report ends, benetofski fell overboard!
