Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

I'm sure that a couple of them are SH3 and SH4, the "all time greats". The ones that everyone seems to have forgotten were just as buggy as SH5 upon release.

Unfortunately some bad reviews of past great games, won't change the reality of SH5.

I'm not so certain about that... I love SH4 right now, after applying RFB and RSRD. Stock SH4, pre-patched?

Same with SH3... I love GWX3. Stock SH3, pre-patched? I don't want to touch it with a ten foot pole.

Same goes for a lot of my other beloved games... Oblivion, Fallout 3...

So if the reviews were for the games unmodded, pre-patch... I'd agree.

I understand what you're saying, but the thing is for every 1 bad review for vanilla SH3 or SH4, there is 10 for SH5. So what does that mean...

More "reviewers" are online with whatever blog/site/podcast/whatever now than there were 5 years ago?

It means all these people that hold SH3 up like it's the perfect subsim are forgetting how many patches and mods it took to get it there. Something SH5 doesn't have yet.

No, I was talking about the initial reviews and opinions when each game came out. I think it's safe to say that the reviews for SH5 are, by far, worse upon release than its predecessors. Sure seems that way to me anyways.

Yeah but those reviews include DR...

Personally, I would have prefered a review without it (i.e. a review that focus on the game itself and leaves a simple note about the online requirement).

Gamespot stated: ''Getting into online games is a significant challenge''...maybe for some people, but I didn't experienced any trouble with it (and I didn't have to put any effort to be connected).

----

Please don't quote me and start another DR... drama, we're all bored with it (except for few zealots).

I know DR... is part of SH5 but there are still people who don't really care about it and are more interested about the game itself.
