From reading the posts in this section I would have to say that SH5 has been released in a very poor state. You have to ask what quality control and what testing was used or did it just get to stage where Ubisoft said.."sod it- release it and we'll take the flak and we'll get the community/modders to finish it off for us, it'll be cheaper" I wonder if it bothers Ubisoft that they have a reputation for very sub- pardon the pun- standard games and are they embrassed at all. If my company released a product in this state I'd be going out of business very quickly.
I know the Devs work to a time scale but there is such a thing as pride in your work.
