Publisher is not Ubisoft directly, it is Rondomdia GmbH, their exclusiv distributor for the "Ubisoft-Exclusiv" budget series.

That's gay as christmas... the gold edition should include GWX, not these half assed rip-offs :yep:

[bigboywooly]

WAC and NYGM are both superior to those two payware addons too

Yes, but since I'm not really a member of the dev team anymore I can be objective and say that SH3 plus GWX is most deserving of a real SH3 gold status. ;)

[oRGy]

That's capitalism, folks.

If you don't like it, help out with the open-source U-boot sim, dangerdeep:

It's easy to complain, harder to do something positive, nevertheless; more worthwhile.

[irish1958]

oRGy,
I have tried to dl and install this, but have had no luck. Perhaps I will try again when GWX 1.04 is finished

[oRGy]

That's a shame. Be sure to post your problem on the DftD forums before giving up though, they need feedback!

Tiocfaidh ar lá, eh? ;)

[Reece]

Oh whoopee, I'm going to buy 2 copies!:lol:

[rik007]

For whom is the Gold then?

[MENTAT]

Gold Edition? Well, nice idea. A bit late tough.

I wonder if it contains community mods or ubi enhancements...

[JU_88]

I bet no one at ubi even did any Q&A the X1 addons and saw how buggy and crap they are :nope:

Still if this version of SH3 is 1.4 and starforce free I might have consider it, assuming the X1 addons are optional installs so I can whack GWX over the top instead.

[Thniper]

I made the mistake of buying the first so called 'addon' from X1... **ducks**:oops: :oops:
My excuse for that is: I had no internet connection at that time so I didn't know about GWX.:cry:
But I will NEVER EVER support exploiters like X1 again, I confess!:smug:

And I agree, GWX 1.04 should be Gold Edition!:rock:

Happy hunting!:arrgh!:

If this "gold" release includes seprate dvd's then we should be happy this product helps keep the game alive.

If it is something of a combined release then you guys can claim greatnesss to what ever mod you feel is best, some things never change. I think your forgetting about a possible influx of new players. These players may indeed browse this forum looking for help or support and other friendly players, not to be chastised for their choice or unfortunate distibution of x1 software.

If this release is seprate installs then there is an inconvenience of a series of uninstalls and reinstalls to get the game to par. If it is not then it may be to the benifit of any mod or modders here, GWX, NYGM, or WAC, to find out what difficulties there will be installing said selection over this 'gold' release.

No thank you I am British. :lol: ;)

They Need To Replace The X1 Sh1tware To Gwx, Nygm, And Wac For The Gold Edition.

[Jmack]

so i guess that the people at ubi are not very informed of what is hapening around their products ... they would not have missed GWX and probably would waited for final GWX for gold release

thats what i would do

[Packerton]

Ubisoft is farrr to independant to include a community mod that is better then a game they can put out :lol:

[irish1958]

Ubi must be run by either the Three Stooges or the Marx Brothers

[Indiana_Jones]

so you get SH3, and what else? :-?

Have to agree with you, anything that gets people interested in sub simulations has to be a good thing. I to have to confess i bought the XI add on's. Not knowing at the time that they were other peoples hard work. But at least some good came of it as it led me to Subsim where i found the wonderful GWX team. and other great mods.

I would like now to take this moment to thank the whole GWX team and its beta testers for giving this old man many hours of pleasure. I am sure i can speak for nearly everyone who has had the pleasure and privilege of playing your great game.
From the bottom of my heart "Thank You Gentlemen for all your hard work"

The difference is, the modteams of the large mods did not release their work for commercial purposes like this gold edition and that's well.

The X1 AddOn's are meant for commercial purposes and therefore Ubisoft and Rondomedia can make profit with these AddOn's (independently of whether these AddOn's contain not approved contents and whether Ubisoft or Rondomdia have knowledge about that)

[bruschi sauro]

NO, NISBA, NEIN, NIX, NEVER,
GWX RULES:rock:
I'M ITALIAN:arrgh!:

[HunterICX]

Gold edition?!

cant really give it a gold name

I say

''Uber Scheisse Edition''

[Boris]

Essentially it's just SH3 with a couple of beer coasters... :lol:

[ReM]

What a ****load of crap....I wouldn't ever buy it....

Steffen Trombke and his...nevermind....:down:

I hope the gold edition sinks with all hands....

[CapZap1970]

Gold Edition? No thanks.
I prefer to use things created by modders here. They are better, have more variety and I support all the effort put in each mod, big or small. Not to mention that it's free. :up:
CapZap

[Morts]

so you get SH3, and what else? :-?

-Indyyou get sh3 and a load of crap
id rather pay for GWX than that wich is in the "gold" pack

[d@rk51d3]

Maybe they're just making way for the "Platinum Edition" including GWX.:cool:

[kiwi_2005]

Now really i ask this question with a loaded shotty as backup lol WHY did GWX not get their foot in the door for this, they are way better than the addons that come with this piece of sh*t

Come on having GWX as an addon for SH3 would of been major man!

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Gold Edition!!! More like bronze if you ask me, they have the nerve to include those crappy add-on too!!!!! OUTRAGEOUS, and I've tryed the Med add-on and it sucked:nope: . If they want even come close to getting a "gold" rating they should include the mods that these people on this site have spent more time than it took probably to develop SH3 anyways.GWX ALL THE WAY:up: :rock: .

[Reece]

I would say that it is a matter of $.$$ values, GWX is free, so selling a product with bonus "free stuff" is not that attractive to purchasers, especially since the majority wouldn't even know Subsim or GWX.:oops:
However, the crap from X1 you normally have to pay for, so getting this as a bonus would appear to be good value, and appeal to this group.:cry:
Sad as it may be!:doh:

[MENTAT]

@Reece exactly.

The target section is not us, it is the ones who never know about tons of mods here, subsim.com, u-boot.realsimulation.com, Fubar skins...

I am sure there are hordes of people would be happy about this release...
Pity though, they dont know about here..
