And I hope this isn't too much of a noob question you hear a lot.

I've read such mixed reviews about SH5 but really want to get into it. With the mods available and patches, is this a game I should invest some time into?

I know it's kind of a silly question to ask a bunch of folks on a forum dedicated to the game, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Thanks for your time.

WELCOME ABOARD!

The question to your question is, what are you looking for? Have you ever played a subsim before. If you're looking for a great gaming experience, then yes, in its current state SH5 is wonderful. The old negative reviews were because of problems. They have mostly been solved, and many people love the game.

The current negative reviews have nothing to do with the game, but rather with what it represents. Fans of the older sims dislike parts of SH5 because it doesn't represent what they see as a 'proper' submarine simulation. I'm one of them, but don't let that stop you. SH5 is well worth the price ($5 on Amazon), so even if you end up not liking it you won't really have lost anything.

But I think you'll be happy.

Thanks a lot guys!

And no, I don't think I would be put off by a lack of ultra realism in the sim, as long as it's mostly realistic

BTW I've got:

intel I7 920@2.67
Radeon HD 4800
4g Ram

Am I going to be OK to run this with the necessary mods?
