Should I buy SE5?
 

I've been around here for quite some time, and I know I can trust the opinions of most of you guys. As such, I'm wondering if I should buy SE5 in its current state. I was a beta tester, but had to pretty much drop out a while before release due to an inability to find the time to adequately test as I felt I needed to. What I'd like to know is if SE5 is in a good enough condition now that it'd be a good replacement for SEIV, which, to be frank, it wasn't when I stopped testing.

Basically, what I'd like is for some of you to hit the highs and the lows, to give me an overview, if that isn't asking too much http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Thanks!

In a word; YES.

Re: Should I buy SE5?
 

It should be in a good condition by the next patch, to be almost a good replacement for SEIV.

I'll see your yes and raise you a H*%L YES!

Wait, I have a question, if you were a beta tester didn't you already get a copy of the game? Or did you have to return it once you stepped down?

I just bought it. Review will no doubt be posted sometime.

If you hear a faint scream of agony, that's probably a 'No'.

I bought Se5 and I think it's a great game

1. It has more options then se4
2. It has realtime ship combat (no more shoot first you win)
3. It has a good ground combat (also realtime that you can SEE)
4. It will have a good A.I. (when it has all the bugs worked out that we found http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif)
5. It does have pretty graphics
6. And last but not least start practicing strategys for PBM http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Buy it, wait until the next patch and the Balance Mod update that follows it, then play.

Each patch is making it noticeably better and they just keep coming, so I think the future looks bright.

I still( and probably always will) prefer SE IV's System View and UI, though. And it has a great 'feeling' to it that SE V doesn't give me. But the positive sides in SE V are soon enough to at the least even it out.

With some long-standing annoyances finally being fixed in recent betas, I'd say it will finally be playable with the next official patch. Especially with the 'Balance Mod'. So it was released about six months early. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif If you are considering buying it, I'd say any time now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
