And still does. I've gotten so used to ignoring that button I don't even notice it's there. I've never had a save problem, but that could be because I've never played it long enough.

how do they delay a game like ruse to improve on it, yet rush sh5 out the door? that is upsetting. live action stratego gets more time in development for some strange reason.

The big killer for me on sh2 was the all-knowing AI I only had played for about 20 min, when I realized something was fishy with the game.

For sh4, I think they spent too much time putting easter eggs in the game.

Atleast sh3 was good out of the box.

This pole is a no-brainer. SH5 is definitely the one that was released 'in baddest state'. You just have to read the threads.
I don't remember ever reading so many complaints and such bad reviews, even thinking back to SH2.
As for SH1, I admit not reading any forums about it, but from my playing experience it's a pretty solid game out of the box.

more fans=more complaints=more bad publicity
That is probably why I have never seen a tom clancy game in bad shape before.
Maybe if Silent Hunter 6 became Tom Clancy's Silent Hunter 6 The Hunt for Red October it would be in better shape
