You make some valid criticisms, but I think the word "arcade" that you and some other people throw around is complete nonsense. It's exactly the kind of attitude that is killing simulation games as much as DRM and bad publishers are killing simulation games. Let's not be snobs, shall we?
Besides, that is a pretty unfair assessment of SH5 - flawed it is, "arcade" is a completely nonsense term for it. It's about as valid a description and as gross an exaggaration as the infamous backlash of fans of SHIII against SHIV against the PTO because supposedly American submarines are crap and the US sub campaign was boring.
