Arcade? Are you nuts? No SH5 can be played hardcore or casual. Mods makes the difference.

STOCK SH5 is in between sim and a little arcade. yes theres health bars. THERS ARE GOOD MODS, so dont let stock fool you. im running just a few, and my game is Very enjoyable. theres no super mods yet, nothing close to a supermod, but the smaller mods are all you need for now. i advise you dont listen to the "i hate SH5" fanatics. most havent even played the game, and dont know how mods help the game. ITs really quite stupid how they can tell people not tto buy it without trying out the game and reading posts instead. DRM is an issue only for those who have Crappy internet providers, or something is wrong with the linkup. i play with DRM absolutely bug free. Theres alot of little things wrong with SH5, but with mods it can be SOOOO overlooked. TheDarkWraith in my poinion has created some of the top ranking mods like IRIA and UI mods.
