You missed the (for me) part.

What I look for in this kind of game is not necessarily the same thing you, or the thousands and thousands who are playing it, look for. What I am after in a game like this is immersion and verisimilitude (sorry about the $5 word, but it's an exact description). I want a game experience that aligns, as closely as possible, with what I have read about the subject. I want to feel like I'm re-enacting history.

The more you know about the subject, obviously, the harder it is to meet that standard. But I got that from SH3, and was hoping that SH5 would improve upon it's predecessor.

Instead, what I found was a game full of bugs, omissions, and questionable design choices, that - from an historical perspective - delivers what can only be described as ridiculous results.

So (FOR ME)... yes, it is unplayable.
