Hi all,

I will not be buying the game until a patch 1.3 comes out. I'm not saying this as some pathetic threat, I realise my money is insignificant to everyone except me, I'm just simply stating fact.

I was a late discoverer of SH III (due to word of mouth from someone who played the first one), so luckily all patches (and Grey Wolves) were out. And now (post patches) it is a great game, which I have now recommended to others to buy. But, word of mouth strongly suggests SH IV needs more work, so please work on another patch and I can then buy this game.

I'm not singling out SH IV as a particularly bad example of what seems to be the norm of releasing bugged games, in fact it's because I've only just been able to play another eagerly anticipated game that was flawed since it came out months ago that it is now my belief that it's best to wait a few/several months before buying games in future as you run the risk of completely wasting your money.

Regards,

Chief_WH.
