    Having played all previous SE games many times I was really looking forward to this one. It was probably the first game I preordered in years. Needless to say, it was a bit of a letdown for me. SE4 had been a masterpiece right off the bat: very few glitches, awesome AI/combat/sniping, great writing and graphics. SE5 was pretty much the opposite: Lots of bugs, terrible enemy AI even onHaving played all previous SE games many times I was really looking forward to this one. It was probably the first game I preordered in years. Needless to say, it was a bit of a letdown for me. SE4 had been a masterpiece right off the bat: very few glitches, awesome AI/combat/sniping, great writing and graphics. SE5 was pretty much the opposite: Lots of bugs, terrible enemy AI even on harder settings, poor graphics, weak writing and the game even got touched by some of that left wing political correctness that seems to be seeping into the industry more and more (I'm referring to the black woman with a Scottish accent that gives Karl orders now). I kind of feel like there was a new team behind a lot of this game (possibly Gen z) which could explain it's shortcomings. Problem is, I don't think a lot of the problems can be fixed by patches or updates. Oh well, at least I can still replay the old games. Expand

    It’s by no means a bad game, but it did not innovate enough from SE4 to justify the price. It’s a shame because it was one of my favourite franchises.
