I chose "I haven't bought this game and I will probably not buy it" but that's not quite right, in one sense. See, Ubisoft sent me a (free) copy of SH5 before official release, so I do actually own a copy.
But I've only opened it once to see if it included a printed manual. Since then it's been sandwiched between my SH3 and SH4 DVD cases.
From what I've read today I won't be installing it anytime soon. Problem is, I sense that 1.2 will be the final patch for the final game in the series. I just can't help but think that Ubisoft (collective, ie devs and suits) have been quite disinterested in supporting SH5 (ironic really, given all the "You must buy this game to support the series" rants of so recent.
).
I was tempted to select "Total fiasco", as that certainly is my view of the Ubisoft (again, collective) handling of the game, but I chose not to as I felt that option was only for those who have played the game. I would really hate to upset the few people here who think that those who don't own the game aren't entitled to an opinion on it.
"So why then post here?" I hear you ask. Simple, I don't want the game to "suck". If the response from players to 1.2 was as glowing as the anticipation was (remember the "1.2 will fix all our problems"
posts?), then I'd be the first to select one of the other more favourable options.
But, alas, with each passing day it is looking less likely.
