Or a new old member.
Oh well, I have been in sub-sims since the earliest MicroProse versions on Atari. (Big deal) But, I really found what I was waiting for in Silent Hunter III. I had tons of mods to make the game look like THE MOVIE. I loved the random style of the missions.
Not sure why I got away from it (probably career), but when SH5 came out, I was all over that. I soon discovered that the missions were scripted and you could get on the net for answers if you got stuck on one. I Hated this. Still, the game looked pretty cool and I had some fun but, it got old fast.
So, I got a way from that.
Now, I'm interested again. So, the question seems to be, whether to go back to III or restart 5?
Forgot to mention, I thought I'd to ahead in the mean-time and play SH5 (from Steam) and it won't run due to some uplay thing.
Turns out, III has issues with Steam, with newer OSs, etc.
I haven't tried 5 yet with it's scripted nature.
Also, the mods to make either game better were a nightmare that I was ok to deal with 15 years ago but, not now.
That doesn't mean I want a simple or sandbox game. I'm just hoping for some plug and play SH5 with dynamic missions. :har: Don't want much huh?
Any ideas?
