Much too long review of SH5...

@all: thanks, glad you like my review.

@corvette k225: there certainly is a mission editor, just haven't found the time to fool around with it yet. From 1st looks it seems to be much like the editors in SH3/4.

What a sweetheart!

Hands off!

I'm apparently one of few guys who are lucky to have girlfriend that actually is interested in computer games. She's a big RPG fan (currently on her 2nd playthrough of Mass Effect 2) and works right next to a games shop, so it's usually her who buys games anyway.

thx for your contribution to the community.
what do you think of ratings like 3/10 some game-mags did?

Thx for a great review, very informative!

Wow, a girlfriend who plays pc games for her own sake? Ahh, your lying!

Lol re: interaction with your wife :-)

I think devs really overlooked immersion with regard to ui design in favor of "ease of use" typical of iphone apps.

Example - from air and CO2 and battery gauges in SH3 to percentage displays? Apparently the concern is that genY is unfamiliar with analog gauges and only knows how to read digital displays. May be true but sux for those of us who love realism.

Anyway I agree it appears there is potential, if community is willing to engage in modding given the DRM.

I think Mick Schnelle's review on Gamersglobal is a bit too harsh, although I concur with his general sentiment that the game simply feels unfinished. I did my review as an avid subsim fan though, so I'm most probably more lenient than, say, a 'normal' reviewer.

This another post of someone buying the game that swore they wouldn't and blaming it on their gal so they could talk about how the game plays.....

For someone who doesn't have it, that was great information. Your take on actually playing it is very close to what I've gathered from reading all the 'opinions', both positive and negative.

I loved your intro as well.
