Is this game worth buying at this time?

I don't hate SH5, nor do I hate Ubisoft for releasing poorly made software. The recent Call of Duty release proved they're not the only ones who put accountants in charge of technical projects. We should remember that this is all just opinion and not irrefutable fact. Well, the SH5 engine undoubtedly kicks the ass of previous releases, that's a fact. The rest is opinion.

In most peoples opinion, the interface in SH5 is a pain in the ass. Mods help, but I couldn't find one that did all the fixes on all the screens without problems. Maybe later on when mods are all integrated, but not right now.

I doubt it will get any cheaper as far as price.
Until the 'SH3 Series UnObTanium' comes out.

That's the one that gets you Every version ever released.

Watch for it on TV's Paid Commercials Crap.

I played SH5 for only 30 minutes when it was new and fresh. Just 2 weeks ago I picked it up again, pimped it with great Mods and now I like it.

Hi Wraith,

The mod provided the 3 dials that we're used to from previous versions (great), but when I hover over one and move to the side to press it, it activates the other dial next to it which then expands also. The other I can remember while using a TDC mod was an instant crash to desktop which is a known issue with the crew management I believe. Much like SH3.

There were a couple more issues that irked me, but I dont think it was programming so much as lack of features I was expecting.

I think what's really hurting SH5 most right now is that lack of the megamod, one where the player just has to run one tried and tested install instead of managing 30 or so updates which may or may not be mutually exclusive and need updating individually. For instance I had just installed Sobers ultimate wave mod, then he released a new version of it the next day. I asked for a list of mods that people recommended, and the lists were huge!
