Here i would like to point out, that the game (any game really) should stand on its own merits, and not have to rely on user created mods in order to get a better review.

Hence why its PC Gamer's policy to review a game on release, and not RE-review AFTER patches and especially not with user created MODS.

Just like SH3 and 4, SH5 can NOT stand on its own (not even close) with no patches.... which is a sad state to release a game in and unacceptable and also unexcusable.

And for the record ...I had no problems with the 3D and ladders.... and Im an 40 yr old...so I must not be "old" enough to loose my spatial awareness in 3d games (been playing them hard core since Wolfenstien 3d days).

i had problems with ladders. Im 25. id say 90 percent of games with ladders, in a FPS environment, you can look up a ladder and climb it.

In SH5 i felt really stupid when i realized you have to stand like a robot eyes level to the ladder to climb it like OSHA is watching or something.

Nothing to do with ages, everything to do with poor design

I'm 70ish. I find the ladders in SH5 a breeze...it's real ladders that I have trouble with.

The article was written for a different audience than ... us.

Modders have, and always will...

RULE.
