Realy tried my best with SH5

Well, I said I'd never buy it, and I never have.

Always thought it was going in the wrong direction with a lot of gimmicks that in no way improved what was achieved with SHIII plus GWX or NYGM.

From what I've seen/read, was pretty much correct with that view, enough for me not to have any intention of buying it.

When you need to mod the crap out of something to make it a half-way decent version of what you had before, that = waste of time and money in my books.

Then there was the entirely retarded "constant connection".

I moved this to the same category of Total War. Excellent concept let down by a failure to address some nagging issues, while introducing a lot of crap that was in no way central to a sim. SHIII was the high point for me. SH4 was a shoddy piece of work. SH5 just plain bollocks. As I said, same with Empire Total War. Stopped buying anything from either house after those abominations.

Sad, as I was an active contributor to discussions around here for a long time. Not necessarily good contributions all the time, lol, but active. Kind of miss my Subsims, but won't touch this thing if you gave me a copy.

Cheers
p.s. I just noticed I had my 10 year anniversary in this site in March.
