Worst game ever

Seitem is much time has passed and I have put a lot of time and money in hardware and software for gamers. Almost always I was fascinated by how great the games have evolved. But then came Silent Hunter 5 ....

Ubissoft is generally not to bring the reputation of finished games on the market, but SH 5 must not be described as incomplete. It is at best a design - an idea sketch what might be achieved if enabled programmers again include 12 months work diligently.

Until then, the impatient player may marvel: The bridge crew still stands even when dipped in their boat lookouts. Without binoculars understood. See sailors inherently good. One can arrive in September '39 in the port of Kiel, in the evening at six clock. But it's pitch dark there. But the boat is pressed in the middle of the port of tsunami waves under water and crashing thrown against the quay wall. After saving the game it is again smooth lake. Beautiful God Mode! Sunk ships go in nearly 90-degree angle under the Bestatzung but is chatting on board.

Why Germany lost the war? One reason could be that the Kaleun of the bridge must climb down to enter into central to command the ship may dive, then must climb the periscope. A bit cumbersome. In this regard appears to have been years ago in the movie the "Boot" sloppy. Since we went in "Alaaaaarm!" zackzack while at SH 5 cozy click and run tuning begins. But not always. Unergründlicherweise some stations are mid-game to the restricted area. It comes either not want to leave out or not. For example, when you stand on the bridge and the access hatch can no longer be opened.

So I could go on for a long time, but worth it sometimes to strip the technical aspect. The game is surprisingly not installed in the program directory in a separate "Ubisoft" folder. Why? Because is subjected under Vista / Windows 7 the program folder certain security restrictions. The can as a conscientious programmer comply (As with all other Vista / Win 7 games that I know). Or you can be sloppy and messy, these stopgap think of as SH 5. Who has tried to install the game without admin rights anyway unlucky. The installation will fail. This obviously is not queried whether admin rights exist, the installation process is carried out at least 15 minutes to the first start comes a cryptic message that the installation has failed.

Another freebie: I tried on a trial basis the game to run on two nearly identical and powerful computers. If I had a smooth graphics, but could hear a voice output only once. The rest remained silent movie with subtitles. The other had perfect speech, but a still image with two or three contractions per second. Unplayable!

As I said, as a senior student I have certainly a lot of money for very, very useless things be given. But be honest: many do not come to mind. I feel sorry for all that tedious scrape together their pocket money and their savings to spend a waste for such '.
