Just a note to say thank you for this thread. One of the few mature, respectful and well presented discussions I've encountered so far. Sort of like these forums used to be.
Like so many others I've been following the forums and reading everything there is about SH5. The endless bickering and swiping has really gotten old as I'm sure most of you all feel. I've remained on the sidelines content to play SH4 until I feel the majority of the initial bugs, oversights and out and out blunders have been addressed by the devs (and our group of insanely talented modders) in the form of badly needed patches.
I would like to say that I'm waiting for the DRM to be cast aside after UBI comes to their senses (Not holding my breath). I'd like to say it but I won't because I guess the basic DRM idea bothers me but right now not enough to prevent purchasing the game. It was my original intention (before DRM ever was made public) to upgrade my system in time to play with the original release and suffer through the initial blues like we all did with SH3 and 4. All the hoopla and negativism has actually saved me fron spending a serious chunk of change on an updated rig.
Threads like this along with thoughtful reviews such as Neal's are slowly getting to me and I feel that if the next patch works out I'll be breaking down and buying the game along with a new computer.
