The dev's move to a real 3d environment in SH5 is indeed a brave one and they have had many problems to tackle with. You all call it "eye-candy" but the end result will be a sim like no other. Don't fool yourself comparing it to console games or the latest PC game downfall.
We all want to game to evolve. But into what? Do we want it to grow an extra arm? Neah, SH5 will be like the dinosaurs transforming into eagles  Scary at first, and some might still say "I liked it better when it had 30 cm teeth" but after your first patrol, you won't be able to play anything else |
Hey, I hope you are right.
My outburst comes from fear, a fear I always feel when the words "more accessible" (in other words "casual player") are introduced when talking about a franchise I love. I dont doubt that the devs are in our corner, but in the end its UBIs call. No game series is holy when it comes to big bucks, just look at Rainbow 6 or Ghost Recon.
I dont think we are there yet, not at all, just sayin ... Aaargh, this comes across as way more negative than intended.
Bottom line: I will preorder of course, to hell with the bugs and the following swearing and waving of fists in these forums, its all a part of the new-SH-circus.
