I already gave up on SH5

Drifter · 03-03-10, 09:34 PM

This is not a thread to bash SH5. I just though I would post my personal experience for those of you here who are considering buying SH5.

I hate to admit it, but I bought SH5 on impulse due to all the initial excitement, and am now sorry I did so. I feel totally ripped-off. The game is broken, unfinished, and buggy beyond belief. Much worse than when SH3 was first released. Poor frame rates. The interface is so terribly hellish and makes no sense at all. Probably the worst I have ever seen in a game. The rpg element is really ridiculous, too.

So I have already uninstalled SH5 and am coming back to that wonderful SH3. I am tired of paying to be a beta tester. Maybe someday SH5 will be as good as SH3, but I am seriously having doubts that modders can save it. I guess time will tell.

You may well be right.
Straight out of the box it is not a satisfying game.
People may have to come back in a year or 2 to get satisfaction.

All I see SH5 doing is creating more interest in SH3 and SH4 with their well established and ever evolving mod community. All those people who wouldn't have normally bought a sub sim will try SH5, be let down and come to places like Subsim to find answers, instead, they'll see what has been done with the earlier games and probably go and buy them instead. After a couple of years when the bugs and mods have been dealt with, they may dust off SH5 again, all depends on how easy it is to mod/fix.

SH3/4 will be the ultimate winners I believe, and that can't be a bad thing. GO UBI!!

I'm glad I gave up on that mess.

SH3, you're the greatest!
