You are right - I was overwhelmed by people's negative reviews, and also from reviews from gamespot etc.
As I said, it wasn't the wasted money I feared, but getting bummed by the whole process of buying, installing, etc. and then realizing that the game is broken. If people really feel that the patches + mods fix most of the issues, then I'll be a happy (junior) kaleun.
BTW - is the manual that bad? I need to learn how to play the game, duh...
I concur with CaptainMattJ. After the two patches, and with judicious use of a whole library of free mods, SH5 is eminently playable. IMO, it is a great joy to play!

As for the manual: it is almost completely worthless. You'll need to learn how to manage the game and the boat by reading the applicable questions and answers on this marvelous forum.

Happy hunting!
