First off - with the exception of a few troll posts this has been a very constructive thread IMO.
Fatally flawed implies that SH5 will never ever be a good game and I personally don't think that the case. I presume also, that to have come to that conclusion means that you don't own the game.
I own SH5 , but play SH3 GWX.
I see SH5 as being very simlar to vanilla SH3, kind of an arcady sub simulator. In my opinion it could be modded into a newer, better looking version of SH3 - alas the backlash against the D*M and also the perception that its "broken" , bug ridden" , unplayable, fatally flawed, may mean that it never gets the chance, which in my opinion would be a shame.
I think the devs went the wrong way with the crew management feature and the campaign, but other than that it really rocks to be able to walk the full length of a U boat. There are also lots of other nice touches throughout the game. If you can get SH5 at a Knock down price I heartilly recommend you do.
The reason I don't play SH5 at the moment is the same reason I don't play vanilla SH3, you see I want a U Boat simulator it really is that simple. If SH5 gets modded the way SH3 did then it's bye bye SH3 for good.
Only time will tell I guess.
