I just ordered SH V from Amazon yesterday, so I cant comment on it yet, but I have to say that I am really enjoying SH III (with mods) at the moment. I have played a bit of SH IV and that is a good game, no doubt about it, but so far SH III gets my vote every time. I cant quite put my finger on why that is, and from what I have read in this thread, I dont think the arrival of SH V will change that view for me
