I'm not sure, are you adressing me? Pretty sure I made that distinction specifically saying it was playable out-of-the-box, and enjoyable after modders got started with it.
I agree that SH5 at release should be compared to 3 or 4 at release. At the moment though, we can't really compare it to anything since we don't even know if it's reached the end of it's support yet.
An edit I wanted to make about support and people's stance earlier:
The support is tricky at this point. On the one hand, Ubi torpedoed their sales by introducing that DRM and releasing it unfinished. I'm not up to speed on SH5 sales numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were rather disappointing. On the other hand, there's a lot of complaining going on, albeit justified in some cases. The only message this sends to Ubi is "we don't want your crap". Why would they try to improve something that nobody wants? Being a company, they would be better off cutting their losses.
It's not a good policy towards people that already own it. I certainly wouldn't buy a SH6 at this point, given the treatment we're receiving with SH5. But that doesn't mean I'm going to roll over and let it go to waste, while constantly voicing my dissatisfaction at every opportunity. I would much rather contribute to it's possible succes by offering suggestions or even doing some modding myself, if possible.
Maybe, just maybe, Ubi is willing to support it further if they think there's interest for it. The community improving the game at this point can only increase interest for it, making that chance slightly bigger.
Personally, I prefer a slim chance to no chance at all.
