You guys feel about the same as i felt when Fallout 3 was coming out. Fallout 1/2 were great RPGs, definately my favourite RPGs ever, and fallout 3 was all show and no go. It was a fraking FPS! Spent a lot of time venting my frustration on Bethesdas boards, got banned a few times, tralala. ect. ect.
More and more games are like this, why it is starting to happen in PC simulations, makes little sense to me, they are mostly niche markets, i can only think it has to do with every publisher (not developer) wanting to make the next "Halo" or in today's case, Modern Warfare.
Also the raising of graphical standards costs developers a lot of money so at the end of the day you really can't blame them (whoever them are) for wanting to make money.
Saving grace? Mods. Thats what i love about being a pc gamer. Hopefully SH5 is a platform modders can work with, thats up to the developer though so lets keep our fingers crossed.
