Just to be fair here, and I don't even own the game (my brother-in-law does and has played the past few days though and I've read tons of stuff here), but describing it as a "buggy mess that's barely playable" is going a bit too far. Yes, there are plenty of bugs, some won't even be noticed by newbies (my brother-in-law said it was really cool when he was leaving port and saw a few damaged ships in harbor trying to maneuver which he attributed to an allied air attack, until I told him it was bad AI that caused them to crash into the docks...) but it is hardly "barely playable" as many people are playing it daily for hours without crashes, etc. You might be more "demanding" than others it terms of what you call acceptable, and I'm probably close to that in some regards, but it's playable, maybe just not enjoyable because of spotting bugs, like the ships crashing in port for example. Without modding it is a lot worse, like you state, but is still playable, just frustrating for many. I know, semantics and all, but people will take you at your word and that's just not literally true what you stated from all that I've heard. I do whole heartedly agree that without modders this series would probably already be dead with SHIV.
