Cough, Empire Total War, cough. Besides being horrible at release, it CTD'ed about every 20 minutes. Reading about SH5 doesn't exactly convince me to buy it, at all. From what I've been reading it's pretty bad and dumbed down.

Meh, you should have all seen the Codemasters' forums when Dragon Rising was released and turned out not only to be buggy, but also not "Operation Flashpoint" at all. The outcry here is very mild compared to that, although to be fair Subsim is Subsim and the companies' official forums are another thing... Judging by what I've seen in the past Ubi's forum isn't called Ubizoo for nothing.

Maybe because the SH community is more to a niche market unlike OF DR mainstream market? Anyway I went through DR without much hiccups except the dumb AI.

"I am so incredibly stupid idiot. I could buy a nice present for my wife with this money but nooooo... instead i waste my hard earned money on this half made game that i wont play for a while."

Don't blame yourself because they released early. They were the one's doing the unethical behavior by trying to get your hard earned money before they deserved it. We are all on the same boat (no pun intended, maybe if I had said "sub") here it is a shame that this has become the economic standard, quantity over quality.

I mean how can you be blamed, SH3 was an instant classic, 4, was buggy but got fixed quick, no one could have predicted 5 would have the highest potential but fail to reach it.

Wow, what a huge surprise SHV turned out to be... ROFL. Not that people didn't point out that possibility in this forum already weeks ago... People that still had the experience with previous releases in mind.

Now, where are all the people that complained about "whiners" warning of the upcoming disaster...?

Yeah, I feel ripped off. Shelled out $60 for the pre-sale gold edition. Been a hassle ever since. I understand the need for companies to release games at some point in time, and often do the finishing in the first couple of patches. That's just part of the nature of the gaming industry.

But what happened here is ridiculous. Along with the mechanics being so off-the-charts bad. I've seen sequels done properly - just take a look at Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2. Perfect examples of well thought out, well executed and 99% bug-free releases.

There's no doubt that if I could ask for my money back, I would. And I've learned my pre-order lesson. That won't be happening any longer.

That's what I keep thinking. Anyone who has hung around here for the last few months and then went out and bought the game on day 1 and now wishes they hadn't, well, it's not like there wasn't enough scepticism here (based on what Ubisoft fed us) to warn all but the most fervent optimists.

Seems that some of the "whiners" may have got it right? Shock, horror, LOL.

More power to those who are enjoying the game though.
