So... did they fix this game yet?

You'd better get some mods for it first.

You must have tried it two years ago, because it's been fixed for the most part for more than a year.

Really?! That actually gets me excited. Even without mods it's perfectly playable?

And yes I did try it last over two years ago.

How's it compare with SH4 at this point? (I won't even compare it to the godliness that was SH3 because I don't want my hopes and expectations dropped from an airplane.)

No. It's the mods that fixed it. Ubisoft abandoned it long ago. The last thing they bothered to do was remove the "Always Online" requirement. That said, with the available mods many people thoroughly enjoy it.

That all depends on what you want from it. It is vastly different from either of the earlier incarnations. To some that ruins it. To others that saves it.

These threads should give you some idea.

Remember that those are just my opinions and impressions. You should get some more soon. The problem is that we have all seen so many of these "Is it fixed yet" threads that some get tired of answering them. And yes, there have been many. Very many.

Aw, really? So otherwise it's as broken as I remember? That's a shame.

I trust that the game's probably all right with mods, but I just don't feel right giving Ubisoft an extra $20 in return for shafting the SH series like this.

Shop around for it, I'm sure you'll get it cheaper than 20 bucks (depends on which dollar in the world I suppose).

There are plenty of posts that say it and Steve said it best. The game must be modded in order to play it. Stock is nothing but an obvious beta. Most online stores usually peddle this game for ~5-10 bucks, so it is cheap enough to experiment with, now.

Search for it on Amazon.com. Stay away from any site selling it as a download. Many reasons why, but the best one is it can be big problem if you ever have to reinstall it.
