I've played alot of games... Alot of buggy, crappy games. But this one easily tops them all. My very first mission I found myself about 5 kilometres inland flying around some houses an bouncing off of the ground... I'm not too keen on physics (actually I am) but I'm pretty sure a German type VII-I unterseeboot wouldn't bounce off of the ground about 100 metres into the air again and again.
Thankfully I was spared from this fate my second go around. However, I was just as equally displeased.
I enjoyed SH2 with its ease and simplistic gameplay. SH3 seemed to suck you in and get you more interested with the history of U-Boats. SH4 was revolutionary in the use of American submarines and more control of how your sub was run. I was expecting alot out of SH5. The tutorial is quite nice in its attempt to suck in gamers new to the series. However the gameplay and UI is so terrible I'd be suprised if any new gamers stuck.
I'm quite ashamed of my purchase, and of Ubioft for letting this pre-beta version software go to production.
I'm a little angry right now, but I will patiently wait for patch version 1.9 and have another go. Maybe about 50% or so of the ridiculous bugs will be fixed by then...
