After my first day in SH4...

I am glad I bought it, but I have to say that I will not purchase any other SH-series until I know they are in a fit-for-purchase state.

Dont get me wrong, this is not a rant, whine or troll post. More so it is a recomendation for anyone thinking about this title to postpone it or accept a poor performing game.

Not going into any of the bugs, there are so many. Suffice to say it appears that the manual provided does not always reflect which is actually in the game.

Like everyone here, I expect there to be problems, some quite big ones. I was impressed that a patch was available before they launched in the UK. Though in reality, this only fixed a minority of the issues and also managed to create a unique CTD with the patch

It appears that this game is not alone in its state. Operation Flashpoint 2 was slated for its unfinished state and is apparently unplayable. This game is not unplayable, but it can be very annoying. It will probably rank in my top 5 games...eventually.

I never thought I would say this but I do believe that if a large corp can deliver a game this unfinished then the world of PCGaming must be coming to an end, because PCgamers will leave in thier droves.

If anyone from ubi actually reads any of these posts, rants and flames they wont come back again. I certainly would not, I would be too embarrassed. It really is unforgiveable to allow a game that is unfinished out! Fine, there are going to be compatability bugs, but the majority of bugs are gameplay. Where were the testers? Asleep? Dead? (sorry, slipped into rant mode)

I will keep an eye on these forums for future patch announcements, but I think my SH4 gaming will be very limited until it is more playable. I would rather not ruin my experience now and hate the game because its broke, but instead wait for the fix and hopefully enjoy the game once its fixed. My only experience from this episode is to only buy from recomendation and reading the bug lists first and make an educated decision.
