Should I go for version 5 or 6?

deltabourne · 06-04-2004, 03:32 AM

I'm really addicted to this game, and I've played out the demo for 6 and am trying 5.. now I can't see much of a difference, the only thing I have noticed to date is the trades in 5 can't involve cash.

Now I'm a little tight on money but I REALLY want one of these games, so I'm wondering if it's worth the extra $15 for 6 or should I just pay $20 for 5?

And I'm not really up to date with developments/releases, is there another one due out soon? Should I wait?

I happen to think that 6 is enough of an improvement over 5 to warrant the extra money, but if you're really strapped for cash, its not going to be a huge blow to go with 5.

What you see is what you get for OOTP5, however OOTP6 will keep improving over short bits of time.

Heck, go mow a lawn for that extra $15 bucks, its worth it in my opinion.

I think six is a big enough upgrade that you should definitely purchase it for the few extra dollars it will cost...

6 is slow, so full of glitches that you can barely sim a day, let alone a week. Stick with 5, at least it works. $35 and they didn't even point a gun at me.

That's if you're running Windows 98 or something. I have no issues with bugs that keep me from playing.

I like version 5 better. Maybe because i am just use to it or somthing, but version 6 doesn't really tickle my fancy all that much. I'm sure once i play it more, i'll start to like it alot more. But for now, it's ootp5 for me.
