No its ok dude, I'm not here to give you a bad time I've applied for the beta and will try to keep an open mind. I've said what needed to be said and thats enough.

SH5 is kind of a sore wound, and I'm sorry you've inherited some of the baggage which clearly isn't your fault but it is a factor like it or not.

I guess when all is said and done if you can make a superior game to SH3,4 & 5 then that should stand on its own merits.

I've played many Beta test Games over the years.
Last one was SWTOR.
Played the hell out of it Beta testing.

Once it went live? The price was to high so I never bought into it.
It'll be the same with SHO.
Once they stick that hand out for cash?
I'm outta there like puss from a squeezed pimple!

3 SH versions in a row that I paid to much for and never got satisfaction give me good reason.

I do have to say the concept art is gorgeous. I think the game has a chance to be fun. Not a simulation in any sense of the word, but fun in a World of Tanks kind of way. At least from what I've read and seen, that's what it most reminds me of.

I still think that the game is gonna be a crap. Don't take this wrong. I think that new team and developers might actually do a very good job and their motivations seems int place but i am afraid that some retard at UBI will still have some kind of a creative control over the game and it will be only a matter of time when someone decides to change better user experience for money.

Even if you want to do a good game the UBI might have other plans and you have to listen to them.

For your sake i hope that the game will be huge success. I will try the game and give my best to love it.

It will be crap.
The main power of SH series is modding issues - from scenarios and campaigns to new ship models and graphics effects.
At SHO all these issues will be lock.

Just signed up - looking forward to trying it

Ubisoft needs this to be a success so they will have to listen this time.

As far as I'm concerned, SHO is a further step into alienating the users from what they buy and like, something that started with the SH5 DRM and ends up with the big brother "cloud computing". As a free and liberal man, that's a tendency I don't like or approve, so I kept my fingers out of SH5 and will be doing the same with SHO. Which, considering the huge amount of stuff that is going on with SH3/4 still as of today and what has already been done, should satisfy my love for WW2 subsims even for the rest of my life, if necessary.

I wish UBI good luck, though, as anything that can promote and draw a bigger community to subsimming will be always welcomed. But that business model will certainly not find a customer in me.

My 2 cents

Interestingly SH Online may well appear at retail as well, if we read between the lines of this article

And it worked. In Germany the €15 pack made sure Settlers Online was the first ever free-to-play game to come top in the Amazon.de charts.

Ummmm spending 15 euros on a pack makes it free to play how ???

Hinrich Schwab · 05-08-12, 11:48 AM

Spending money on a free-to-play game is an oxymoron. Creating a free-to-play game where one must spend money to have a reasonable experience is a con, plain and simple.

Julhelm · 05-08-12, 04:38 PM

Free to play means you can download it and play without having to pay anything. Complaining that microtransactions somehow negate this is ridiculous. It's not like you download it and anyone forces you to pay money.

Those games force you indirectly. If you dont pay and upgrade your stuff, you wont have much fun with this game, nor success.

So to you, any form of customer complaint over a business model of dubious integrity is ridiculous. We already had a similar discussion in the other thread. I won't argue this further as it is obvious from the other conversation that you adamantly believe that the businesses are "right" and the consumers are "wrong". We are going to have to agree to disagree and leave it at that.
