I have been MIA for a good time now, since I got XBOX 360 about 7 or so months ago, or really a month after SH4 came out. I got the first patch, hated it and never looked back.
So how has it improved?? I just read the latest patch updates but really want to hear from you guys if you're enjoying it or not?
Been playing since it came out, its great better with new patch 1.3.
just remember to save game in career mode.
good hunting.

If you have the disc it is worth loading and patching. You make the call!
I am waiting for some awesome mods. I just dont find it as fun as SH3 was when it came out.

If you didn't like anything about the game before the patches, then not much is going to change your mind about it now.
Disagree but no point in elaborating. :dead:

I, too, have been enjoying it since it came out. The patches and mods have only made it better. Since March, I haven't even loaded up SH3 (but have yet to uninstall it).

Installed it vanilla. Got fumed by bugs. Tried patching 1.1, tried mods...gave up after a few weeks.
Got patch 1.2. INstalled. Played for a week. Crapgame.
Left it from patch 1.2. Heard about patch 1.3. Heck, guess I'll look.
Installed 1.3. Loving it. Loving it long! Wonderful now that almost, note almost, all bugs are squashed, radar is working, manual TDC works. It's just plain awesome now. Never had so much fun with any sim before. I LOVE it!

This is a great review after the 1.3 patch.:up:

With 1.3 it plays great and maybe a bit more difficult in a good way.
Iv'e found campain patrols a bit tougher than I remember and it keeps me on my toes so I don't make a "BONER" decision that dooms my crew.
I did a little test running from PH bouy at 2/3 speed till I had 51% fuel remaining and U turned back to same starting point and didn't make it back. Ran out of fuel. What if i'd been on a patrol ?
Forgot to check weather regularly .That what I bet made me run short.
Among other things.
Not being the Captain good enough. This game has plenty of Challenge.:yep:

It's a bit like building yourself up for months to visit NYC (SH4 pre-release) and getting mugged the moment you get off the plane (1.0). Then you go home and for months you hate NYC, and a new governor is installed but people are still getting beaten and robbed in the street (1.1). The police force is overhauled but crime is still through the roof (1.2). In time, things settle down and friends convince you to return with glowing stories of a new city (1.3), but nothing anyone says will convince you. You'll have to see every site and landmark in NYC and have a stellar time before you'll get over that bad first one and be convinced to stay.
Hopefully you won't get raped in the streets of SH4 1.3 during your stay, if you choose to even give it a try. I'll let you know how my butt feels after a few more months of play. I've only been here a few hours myself.
It's as good as SHCE patched to 1.03.with a expansion disk,SHIV would surpass it's self as the best in class.Superior:know:

I can now run this game on my rig with all settings maxed out and high fps 60-90+ and no ctd. And i'm running 10+ mods and counting.
The modders have good material to work with here and should be able to make this into another good product like the DEV modder teams did for SH-3.
And by all means all the SUPER MODDERS we have who always have new surprises for us almost daily. :up:
Who says you have to wait till XMAS to get great presents.:D

Finding SH4 more entertaining than before with 1.03 update, but still only in smallish doses due to some performance issues. :cry:
Gotta admit though, it has come a long way. A couple of supermods would do wonders too.:yep:
For the long haul SH3 (with GWX of course) still floats my boat - for now.

I'm suspecting this feature went away as a result of having the 360 degree binoc view on the bridge. This is only a guess. Sometimes one thing has to go for another thing to work. I would have prefered four stations around the bridge that a push of key would make your field of view change to. Heck just one key to put at the rear of the bridge to see what is behind the boat. They chose to take the whole texture out.

SHIV is indeed good to play now. I like it graphically but feel a little short changed from a tactical and emersion point of view. This is not the fault of the devs, its simply that after having had a great time playing SH3 + NYGM I just don't find the Pacific Theatre all that exciting.
The Japs: "Here's some ships for you to sink"
US Subs: "Oh Thanks!"
The Japs: "Mind you, we'll have to have a go at you now and again, you know, just for the show."
US Subs: "Sure, we understand, don't want the world to think yer crap at war or anything."
The Japs: "Thats the ticket, oh and sorry about Perl...we got ahead of ourselves a little."
US Gov: "No worries....by the way, we're thinking of testing something... something big!"
So yes SHIV is good and I wish SH3 looked like it but Ihave to say I just cannot wait until teh Atlantic Campaign exists on the SHIV engine....role on Atlantic Sharks!:up:
