Is this game worth buying at this time?

We must have higher demands than this.

I don´t say that SH5 hasn´t potential, i see it, but it demanded MASSIVE modding. Which isn´t what it´s suppose to be in 2010.

I understand what you are saying that in this day and age, the product should have been finished. But look at some of Ubisoft's present releases, as well as the rest of the SH series from when they took over and it's the same story. Over and over again.

Also, on the note that SH5 demands MASSIVE modding. Check out Sh3, and 4. 3 has almost reached its highest potential (some might say it has with GWX) and SH4 has, in my opinion not reached its full potential. How many mods do these releases have? How many are fix-its? How many actually improve gameplay and add new features. To me, Sh5 is still getting through the fix-it stage (which yes I agree that this stage should be fulfilled by beta testing and by the producers). We've still got a long way to go before Sh5 becomes comparable to a GWX Sh3/SH4UBM+OM, but by God, when it does get to that level, watch out. It's gonna be one hell of a sim.
