Forums?
Well, it brings out the best and worst in the community sometimes I miss the good old days when you would read about a game in some computer/game magazine or just see it in the shop and buy it. Play it for what it was and don't hack it to pieces and loose the magic.

Now it's a year or more waiting and over analyzing the game and build up expectations and feel ripped off in the end...

I feel the same way. I love discussing what is good about a sim and what could be better, and what is not good. But over the last 10 years, it seems like most people are primed to find faults with the game, jump to baseless conclusions, nitpick, and take things to extremes. So much angst!

My prayer is that SH5 sells fairly well, they release a 2nd patch in 6 weeks and sales pick up, another patch in 3 months and they see a spike in sales, etc until they get the game completed. So, for the skeptics and protesters, they might be just what we need...if they will come onboard at exactly the right time.

PS: I'm also going to add to my wish list: if the DRM is cracked, Ubi should release a no-online patch immediately. If the DRM lasts 6 months, it would be nice if they would release a patch that means online for activation. I know they won't say this is their plan up front...and it may not be in their plans. But I hope.
