You got SH5. You played it. Now RATE it for the rest of us!

Agreed! I think it starts as being spoiled brats who never wanted for anything in their whole lives, LOL. I've always been amazed at this phenomenon, especially in the free world.

Hold on, now! Vanilla to vanilla, perhaps. But I would argue that vanilla SHV can't come anywhere NEAR SH3 with my mod selection (personally) and that goes for sh4 too. For me anyway, there's just way too much missing. Granted, I do NOT have the game, and have only seen videos and read the posts on subsim. And I'm a sucker for guages and dials and slide rules and whiz wheels and such.

If I had a stronger box, I'd probably get sh5 right now, even knowing its flaws, drm and everything. I just spent $665 to get a compressor replaced in my 2.5 year old fridge. I had a couple of shots of Patron at a club last week with the wife, and it was nearly the price of this game. Gotta keep things in perspective!

And there's nothing wrong with complaining about how horrific a game is, either. But I'd say it would be an ERROR to expect anything near perfection, at least for the price you'd pay for it. If you're that bent out of shape about it, and really, really want it, download a free compiler and get busy coding! Compiler not up to your standards? Write your own! You think I'm kidding!
