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.

You got that from Sh3 out of the box?
