Think of it this way... if Subsim rushes to print with a "SH5 SUCKS!" review, it hurts the submarine simulation market by turning potential players away. We'll see down the stretch what happens with SH5, DRM, and UbiSoft... be patient.
SH3 was nowhere such an unfinished and buggy product like SH5. Vanilla SH3 was and still is a decent game. No doubt that, after having played the GWX mod, the out of the box experience feels a little lame but this is largerly due to the incredible quality of the mod, not because the game lacked.
