Why do gameplay videos always need to be done by clueless, unsuspecting and uninformed users?

This is your second infraction for the same kind of outburst so please take the opportunity to think before you post in the future.

We like everyone to be respectful to one another in this community.

This is going to be a commercial disaster. I guess this will be the end of Silent Hunter franchise. What a disappointment.

We need indie developers to make something worthwhile. Maybe DCS (the makers of Blackshark) would be willing to make a sub sim?

I know i know, beta is beta, but, let's face it, once released(in whatever state that will be) it will still be arcadey, simplistic and it seems 'dumbed-down' for certainly the more hard-core sub simmers out there.....

It seems too much arcade (my opinion. I like the maximum of realism)
- Calculate intercept course.........yes Sir
- Point the enemy....yes SIr
- Shoot.....yes Sir
- Finish ???

Ok, it's another type of game but I prefer to returm to my old map, ruler, pencil, AOBF, manual TDC, walking through submarine, attack periscope, use the hydrophone etc etc etc

I think that this game is not suitable for the great majority of us.

thanks for sharing the video

this does not seem to be a title which has much appeal to those hard core players.

at least it doesnt seem to have a great deal of appeal to me.

it seems that all of the sense of adventure has been removed what with the warping to targets, no random encounters with the enemy etc

i rather enjoyed spending time on the conning tower standing watch with my crew, or relaxing in the captains bunk listening to the gramophone killing time between engagements.

SHO seems like it will be a lot of warping around going "pew pew pew"

Thank-you for the time and effort of sharing the video , unfortunately the layout of SHO as is , does not appeal to me , it has a juvenile aspect to it .
Unfortunately these online games seem to be the new standard in the gaming industry and the traditional DVD format has gone with the wind .
Once again Thank-you for the info it is greatly appreciated .
Prost!

Yeah I'd have to agree on the "not appealing" part. The best part about SH3 is the immersion like someone above mentioned. If I can't walk around the boat, stand watch, or be bored rotating watch shifts.... As weird as it sounds I like going through all the BS to get to the fun in SH3. You get a little attached to your crew in SH3 and actually care if they go under.

On the browser side of your post I think browser games have something to offer but they haven't been executed correctly. I love what World of Tanks did. Love what they are planning. Heroes and Generals is a decent idea but the game needs 1000%x more maps(Which would make it 33 maps total :/ )

"She's going down!"

R.I.P Silent Hunter series. It was an honor!

I wouldn't worry. F2P is a fad sprung from every exec in the game industry growing seeing nothing but huge dollar signs after watching the massive success of Farmville. Just like they all went and tried making their own Call of Duty killers after Modern Warfare made a billion dollars which so far have all failed to match even a fraction of the sales. Or how everybody jumped on the MMO subscription bandwagon a few years ago after the massive success of WoW which predictably ended with an oversaturated MMO market.

TorpX · 03-04-13, 11:07 PM

That is a good point. I don't know what the gaming world will be like in 10 years, but I expect it will be different than it is now.

I think SHO is a great idea for those beginners before they jump into a hardcore silent hunter series.

Basically, SHO is a waterdown of SH5. It could be a double blade sword for some of us.

I believe we can call for SH6 someday in the future.

Many of the players in the current beta have never played a Silent Hunter game before.

It could be a reason for that. I am giving them a benefit of doubt and thinking outside of the box.

LAME!!!!

Guys.. this is NOT FOR US!!!

This is designed for the typical time wasters that usually play "farm" or whatever its called on facebook.

Maybe those people want a little extra, online game web based.

UBI had the code and it was probably easy to do.

This game is not for any of us that want immersion and a simulator
