I'm sorry, I had no idea it was a sensitive subject. I wasn't really asking whether there was consensus on it being better than SHIII, just on what consensus there was about the game in general, if any.

I'd count a sequel that merely has (still) unfulfilled potential as a dud, but that's opinion, of course. "Better" is a fuzzy word, obviously, but when talking about sub sim games, the one that's "more rounded and complete" sounds "better" to me. I was hoping maybe 5 had received an amount of modding attention approaching that of SHIII (with concessions made for the length of time since release, of course.)

I guess what I'm trying to find out is, is it a good sandbox simulation, the way (modded) III is. It seems like the answer is "no", or at least "not yet". I guess I'll get busy on reinstalling III and downloading the mods I liked. Much obliged!
