I already gave up on SH5
 

This is not a thread to bash SH5. I just though I would post my personal experience for those of you here who are considering buying SH5.

I hate to admit it, but I bought SH5 on impulse due to all the initial excitement, and am now sorry I did so. I feel totally ripped-off. The game is broken, unfinished, and buggy beyond belief. Much worse than when SH3 was first released. Poor frame rates. The interface is so terribly hellish and makes no sense at all. Probably the worst I have ever seen in a game. The rpg element is really ridiculous, too.

So I have already uninstalled SH5 and am coming back to that wonderful SH3. I am tired of paying to be a beta tester. Maybe someday SH5 will be as good as SH3, but I am seriously having doubts that modders can save it. I guess time will tell.

You may well be right.
Straight out of the box it is not a satisfying game.
People may have to come back in a year or 2 to get satisfaction.

SH3 GWX is all i need anyway.

All I see SH5 doing is creating more interest in SH3 and SH4 with their well established and ever evolving mod community. All those people who wouldn't have normally bought a sub sim will try SH5, be let down and come to places like Subsim to find answers, instead, they'll see what has been done with the earlier games and probably go and buy them instead. After a couple of years when the bugs and mods have been dealt with, they may dust off SH5 again, all depends on how easy it is to mod/fix.

SH3/4 will be the ultimate winners I believe, and that can't be a bad thing. GO UBI!!

I'm glad I gave up on that mess.

SH3, you're the greatest!

Welcome back Gentlemen.

I'll be sticking with SH3+GWX and SH4+RFB+RSRD for a while myself but I wonder....:hmmm:

How many threads like this were posted when SH3 and SH4 were first released?

I'm optimistic-give SH5 some time and it may become a great and fun game to play after patches and mods. Yeah, it will have a different feel but it sounds like the game has some potential. It may take a couple of years before it realizes its full potential though.
I'm staying hopeful.:sunny:

SH3 is the benchmark. If SH5 makes just half that journey, it'll be worth playing, patience is a virtue, impatience and impulse buying is what causes these games to be released unfinished in the first place.

Grab the cash, ignore the complaints.

SH3 got complaints comparing it to AOTD, but the eye candy muted those somewhat. And the only other game it could be compared to was SH2, alongside which it was a vast improvement.

SH4 was an improvement to SH3 in some areas, but the complaints were that it didn't fix some of the obvious problems, and it broke some things that weren't broken before. So it fared badly, and some folks still haven't given it a second chance and still say bad things about it in spite of the great mods.

SH5 is taking a pounding, but as I see it, if it is as easy to mod as they say it is, it could end up making them all look bad.

We'll see.

Give it 6 to 12 months, a patch or two and some modding...then we'll see for sure http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

wouldn't March reveal all for us? :D:03:

SH3 and SH4 both got tagged with being "buggy" upon release. But there was nothing like the current imbroglio over SH5, I'm afraid.

That game is being shredded for the most part by people who feel they were ripped off. :cry:

It seems to have revealed that we'll need another 6-12 months, a patch or two and some modding. :O:

Which is 'all'.:sunny:

I'll wait and stave off the frustration. Every new sub in real life brings both advances and issues that bubble up from sea time until the Planning Yard can get a fix on the alterations and re-designs right.

:salute:
