Your opinion, but you wouldn't be surprised in how much this game has come along, improvements, both from a graphical point of view and also from a gameplay point of view. Unless ofc you've been living under a rock. (and i'm not suggesting you have).

Always thought it was going in the wrong direction with a lot of gimmicks that in no way improved what was achieved with SHIII plus GWX or NYGM.

Not enough campaign time? Limited U-Boats? What direction did you have in mind for SH5?
Campaign time has been increased, and i'm sure the variety of U-Boats will be increased too, with time.
Once again, the modders have come through.
And once again, have given players from all over the world renewed hope and a new start with SH5.

From what I've seen/read, was pretty much correct with that view, enough for me not to have any intention of buying it.
|
Seen/read where?
Here? Not fair, when the most critical comments are to do with too many mods to chose from, or mods conflict with each other.
However, from a player's point of view, and yes, i am a player, the comments about SH5, albeit modded, are positive, to say the least.
You are basing your reading/seeing on gaming magazines' reviews of the stock game?
Which would be unfair and unrealistic.

When you need to mod the crap out of something to make it a half-way decent version of what you had before, that = waste of time and money in my books.
|
Once again, your opinion, however, this does not mean that something limited in scope and support can not be turned into something that is wonderful and continuously evolving and being improved upon.
And this doesn't cost you money, you can sit back in the comfort of your own home and watch the improvements being made the modders every day, without having to fork over a cent.
So your point about having to waste money and time is moot.

Then there was the entirely retarded "constant connection".

Take out the constant from your quote and that's where we are currently.
No constant connection required anymore. Just connection to logon.
Moot point.

SHIII was the high point for me.

Out of the box it was as shoddy as SH4 out of the box, and infact as shoddy as SH5 out of the box.

Sad, as I was an active contributor to discussions around here for a long time.

Why? There are many sub forums that may be of interest to you, we'd hate to lose you, and i mean that, why don't you stick around longer?
Checked out the game forums? The General Thread?

Congrats
Just on closing, i'm not having a go at you m8, just trying to get you to see that a lot, and i mean a lot has changed with SH5, and that you can't always live in the past (SH3), and that like a lot of things in life, you have to give things time to mature and to grow into something complex and beautiful.
Take Red Wine for instance.
