SH5 Adios

TorpexXIII · 05-15-11, 01:58 PM

Well I do hope that I cause no offence....but....

Ive tried my best with SH5. I came in with an open mind. Tweaked and played. I have a great PC which enabled me to see some amazing graphics. Howver I found the gameplay, plot scenarios & crew to all be way too restrictive.

Where SH4 is immersive and & open SH5 is too set piece and planned.

Its a real shame as I think that UBI missed a trick here. If you could mix the open free gameplay of SH4 with the graphics of SH5, wow!

All of what I love about SH4 is missing in SH5.

My serious advice is this, dont bother buying it. Im a massive fan of SH4 and really tried with SH5 (yes even after reading all of the reviews). I guess I just got tired of SH4.

Well its back to the pacific for me...!

Much love,

Chris

There is a new campaign being written now that will open up the plot restrictions. It will give a much freer hand to you during the campaign.

Where there were - sink AV etc - there is now - sink cargo but if you sink an AV, that will count too.
Plus many more ways to lift the current restrictiveness in these objectives.

You should keep one eye on Zedi's campaign thread and when ready, give SH5 another go

People like that you just have to let go. There's no sense trying to convince them otherwise because their mind is already made up

. It's their loss in the end

I don't like brussels sprouts.

I respect your opinion, and what you are expressing here, but how many years has SH4 had to be modded?

Please give SH5 the same courtesy.

Exactly, well stated my friend. I know I have been out of the loop for a while but I am throwing my full weight behind Zedi, as I really like what he has done so far, and is doing. And, with TDW's help I don't think anything can stop us.

I really agree with you TDW, but it is hard to let a fellow sub simmer walk away from something that you know will be great.

I don't particularly like them either.

Give SHV a bit more time mate, you gotta remeber that SH4 has been out much longer and it was in a more 'completed' state out of the box.
SHV still needs much work, Modders are working hard on it, but no-one is a miracal worker - eventually it will get there.
Maybe give it break, sure... but dont write it off completely just yet

This.
I will never try to convince a sh3/sh4 fan that is better to play sh5. Like it or leave it, I really dont care about the reasons as long it not turns into a hate message.

Have you tried them with lardons and pine nuts?......mmmm

There is not much to say:

Adios, adieu, adeus, arrivederci, auf wiedersehen, goodbye.

And I do like brussel sprouts.

Zedi As I posted on another thread. I won't beg anyone to play a game.

They'll figure it out one way or another themselves.

Brussel sprouts - another fine invention from the Belgiumese.
