"The development of SH5 was shrouded in a lot of controversy that bitterly divided the community on our forums [link] with the controversial new OSP form of DRM.
Ubi was also shifty in giving out preview copies, we only received ours two weeks before release.
And the game has bugs, some pretty major ones, but there are already patches out, and more on the way.
But the game is great, a true diamond in the rough, and unpolished gem, a flower in early spring, a mildly polished turd, the guys at Ubi Romania are swell, ubi are great and send us review copies, because, lets face it, nobody else makes subsims and we don't have a choice but to do what they tell us, and take it up the arse without so much as a reach around.

The game is beautiful, you can almost hear the voices from das boot as [that guy] said [that thing] to [that other guy] and we all laughed, or the time we watched [other sub movie] and remember the heart racing tension of [that bit] as the beautifully rendered water floods into the fully 3D cabin, and swells around your crew, you can interact with them personally, something longed for since the days of [insert stone powered computer]

But after all that, if you're a dedicated subsimmer, go out and buy SH5, show support to our hobby, the dedicated modders, the hard working folks in Romania, our sole reason for existence..."

Colour me cynical...

Lol. Its easy to imagine Neal altering his review right now to not match your vision of it
