Any One Still Playing This Game?

I agree that the game is not as fun to play as SE4 (in spite of SE4's own mediocre UI).

THAT was the gist of what I, and I think many others, have been trying to say.

I was merely addressing the assertions of it being just a "flashy 3d game."

The point for me, in SEV being a "Flashy 3D game", is that more effort seems to have gone into the all new graphical appearance of the game, and the POTENTIAL moddability of it, rather than the interests of the "straight-out-of-the-box" player

Maybe we need to gather an actual succinct list of issues that contribute to playability issues, rather than just constantly bemoan its lack of fun-ness...

There's a VERY valid point. The number of playability issues and the lack of "fun-ness" is the killer for me.

When I first started playing SEIV, it grabbed and held my attention, and the improvements that arose over time just made it that much better. SEV just never had that "grab" that made SEIV so much fun. Straight off the street, SEIV turned out to be much more interesting and entertaining than anything delivered by SEV so far.

I never Beta-tested it, I have no vested interest in it's outcome, and I'm nobody community-wise. I'm just another average person, trying a new game based on the reputation of it's predecessor and finding it lacking.
