My bad :P

Thanks for putting one up :D

I would say Gamespot were rather generous, I have seen some reviews of SH 5 where it only got 2 out of 10. However I think most reviewers have settled on 5 out of 10 for the game. They even largely ignored the horrible drm and just judged the game on it's own merits as well. So it is pretty obvious this isn't a "good" game :D

It was probably Ubisofts fault it ended up like this.GeneralShowzer

And it's funny because a few years ago they were one of the premier PC devs. They're slipping.

At least EA doesn't look like they are purposely trying to **** up their PC games.

I dont think the DRM had anything with the score...SH5 is a very bad game:

"

• Packed with bugs and design flaws
• Worthless in-game tutorial and manual
• Sub captain interface is bothersome and tedious
• Performance hog that drags even the best systems to low frame rates
• Getting into online games is a significant challenge."

Ugh, I was actually going to buy this soon. Looks like I will stick with 4 for the time being.

It is amazing that they still make submarine sub games. I wonder if there is much of an audience.

That's too bad. Even though I didn't play Silent Hunter 4, I always though Silent Hunter 3 was just an amazing game. It's pretty disheartening to see the series take a dive like this. :(

The game is filled with bugs...rhazzy

C&C4 says hi :)

It's going to take a lot of patches and user-made mods to get Silent Hunter 5 into a playable, satisfying state. Ubisoft's track record with this series and the incredible dedication of the game's fan base mean that this is likely going to happen, sooner or later, but for the time being, you would be well advised to get your submarining fix from Silent Hunter 3 or 4, two extremely impressive games that have been well seasoned with patches and mods. Right now, despite the undeniable promise and more than a few moments where excitement and tension make you forget about the many bugs and design flaws, the fifth edition in this series just isn't ready to be released from the drydock.Brett Todd

EA tried to do something different and it didn't work. That isn't the same thing as making a game unplayable.

The laugh of it is, GameSpot claims that it is going to take a lot of patches and user-made mods to get the game working.

Just a pity that Ubisoft's DRM is going to make the creation of any kind of mods impossible.

It's actualy a very good game, I mean 9.0+ quality, the problem is it got released in a state that can be only described as early alpha.There is a real gold burried there, but it will take the devs and mod makers at least 6-12 months to dig to it.

Damn you Ubisoft you destroyed a great franchise whats next Anno? adamosmaki

And Anno is fine...Venice is typical quality wise for Anno add-ons and Settlers VII looks like it will be best Settlers since S2

I see what you mean, but C&C 4 was tailored to be a multiplayer game for the most part, and it doesn't piss me off as much as having to be connected for a single player game. I agree that it's pretty bad though.
