I live in a Windows 7 environment and I remained staunchly XP for 1 reason SH3
I don't want to be emotional about a video game, but I've been in love with SH3 for several years.
however, eventually I changed to Win 7 and after 2 weeks of reading forum listings and experiments I failed to make SH3 plus the superb GWX Gold update work.
At this point, I threw in the towel and bought a copy of SH5.
well it arrived 4 days ago and didn't make any friends by failing to start with such a stupid gross error. Doesn't anyone test software anymore???? Why didn't they give a disk to a non-programmer and ask them to install it. So, I had to do a complete reinstall. With other problems it took me 8 hours to get it working.
So to the game... the starting video is great, but then the game starts ... brilliant graphics, but what about the interaction??? C!!p.
I find it difficult to handle fine mouse movements and I found the first person shooter operation hopeless. the ladder up that coning tower took me ages to navigate.
what's happened to the career mode?? I liked sailing to different places.
I liked managing the crew to ensure no-one was too tired.
this is a game for the shoot em up player not for me.
So, I'm not a fan of SH5. I wish there was a way to either run SH3 on Win 7, or make SH5 like SH3
