SH4 - Worth buying now ?

[Einzelganger]

Hello all,

I've been playing SH3 for quite some time and have offcourse awaited the release of SH4 since work starting on it was confirmed.

My problem is this, i've read the reviews and the topics on this forum but it seems the game came with a lot of bugs, impacting game play among other things,and i can't really tell from what i've read so far if the past 2 patches have made a difference. The general trend of the reviews i've read seem to be, these are the problems but if you'll ignore a numbers of issues the game is well playable / enjoyable. I just can't get a clear picture on the state of the game.

What did you think after you've first got & played the game ? I don't really feel like buying a new game which has the numbers of problems i've read about, because after all ,i do want to enjoy myself with this. Is it perhaps better to wait for further patches to come along eventually ?

Suppose i'm just looking for the views of those with more playing experience then those reviewers who seem to have given it just a single spin.
