I will not be buying SH5 for a while now...SH3 is just fine, thanks
But SH5 sure is purty and all....  |
That is because you have things like this going on...

Not to mention there are a few that are not shy about blatantly giving favorable reviews when the game is obviously broken when you buy it.
You also have the issue of what a reviewer see's pre release (demo/etc) is usually a optimized version.. IE doesn't reflect the true product at release.
