Ohh sigh...............:nope:

Keep firing fellers, you missed..........again.:shifty:

^^^^ Seriously the best facepalm ever!!

Saved for the next round of "DRM is bad M'kay" followed by "I don't own SHV but I hear it's full of gamebreaking bugs" threads.:yeah:

Actually with SH3, some of the most popular mods were and are those that have opened up the sub. Specifically the Open Hatch Mod and the VII Interior Mod. There are others as well.

I don't get it . You criticize members here when they post regarding your comments about SH5, but when a member makes a comment about SH3 and one of it's shortcomings you come to the thread and feel the need to post. Nothing wrong with having an opinion here, but at least be consistent with it.

That's par for the course around here.

I think in the end, many are afraid that eventually SH5 will leave their beloved SH3 to fade into obscurity and they resent that possibility.

In contrast, there are also a great many from the SH3 community who have also been working diligently to make SH5 better.

It's a good example of human diversity in action. ;)

It's a misplaced fear, if that is indeed the case. SH3 and SH5 are two very different beasts, appealing to people for different reasons. There is no reason why SH3 should fade in obscurity, assuming there are people still playing it.

I've seen far older games, with numerous sequels, still being played, supported, and modded.

Maybe I was too subtle ... that you didn't get it. Sorry, but next time I will try to be more direct, just for you, to understand better what I am trying to say behind my words.

True. Whether it fades into obscurity or not really depends on the level of detail modders can apply to SH5. If they can manage to surpass previous titles, then yes it'll happen.

One thing I'll give SH5 over Falcon 4.0 is that it's playable out of the box. Unfinished it might be, it still doesn't compare to the level some sims in the past suffered on release that modders eventually fixed and overhauled.

Yeah, have fun with that sunshine. Another for the ignore list.

:hmmm:

There's only one reason why I don't go back to SH3 (maybe that's why he said ''lifeless'').

Maybe someday, SH5 will have real wolfpacks (AI operated boats forming wolfpacks with real interaction with BdU).

Now, THAT would be really different and I'm sure this would be an amazing gaming experience.

People complained about sooo many things but seem to forget the real issue (at least the real issue for me): WOLFPACKS

I'll be curious to see if you still say that when SH5 has five years of modding behind it.

I guess we'll see in five years.

Actually more like a year or two. The groundwork has already been done, it's just a matter of porting things over once all the nuances are figured out.

One thing I don't get is the "stuck to the spot" comments. I walk around SH3 all the time.

On the other hand I can't visit the engine room. Yet.

On the other other hand I am really excited by SH5's potential, if not its current state.

Maybe, look I don't have a crystal ball. My original post is for the present.

I agree , as I've said before I'm enjoying playing the game. There are a few things that need improving but I can still remember vanilla SHIII.
