I really cannot speak fo SH4 because I just read the subsim review of it and have seen some screenshots and videos of it.

If it is really that unplayable, and I simply believe you in that point, than it is of course not acceptable that one should pay 45$/€ for it.
Computer games are a huge and still growing industry and industry has to be cheap, efficient and make as much profit as possible. This is the cause of some games to be released way unfinished and SH4 seems unfortunatly to be one of them.
And it is of course unfair to let many people pay a lot of money for a game and throw later a bunch of patches onto them to stop them from complaining.

But I'm not sure if the developers are to blame for that to the full extent. If I would invest many month on programming a computer game (especially if it's the successor of a very good one) I would see it as my little baby and care about it as much as possible ;) So I definitely wouldn't want anyone to think of it as unfinished or half baked and would release it when I am satisfied with the result myself.
I don't think that anything of this is surprising or new to you, but it is just to be taken into account.

SH3 meaned much fun to me from the beginning it got released. Although there were some things that needed to be worked on. Thanks to all the hard work of modders, be it GWX'ers or any other, the game got improved by a large amount and even if one thinks one has seen anything SH3 has to offer this gives the game a whole new freshened style and even gameplay.

And if SH4 is really that much worse than SH3 then I'm glad to have saved the money for it in the first place, my PC wouldn't have got along with SH4's graphics anyway :roll:

EDIT: Right :X :sunny:

Ahhh the gently guiding hand of moderator Seth steers the errant posts back onto track. Love it! :up: Love SH3. Also love GWX. Will probably love GWX 1.04 every bit as much too! Thankfully, we have dedicated enthusiasts who give-up their time for the benefit of all.

When will it be out? We've all heard "Soon", and "When it gets here"; so I'm going to try something completely different.

It will be released tomorrow. If "tomorrow" comes and it's not here, come back and reread this post every day until it gets here. You'll eventually see that I was right.

Of course the day after it's released this will no longer be valid. At that point I will be wrong. Which is all right by me.

:rotfl::rotfl:You hit the nail on the head, Steve! :up:

I saw the lastest sneak peak at the GWX update!:o:o:D:D They just keep getting better and better!:rock: They deserve a big roung of applause for there hard work and dedication to bring this mod to life and take SH3 to the next level.

Believe me guys....the impact GWX 1.03 had will be nothing compared to what 1.04 will be like :rock: :up:

You know... just when I get to thinking that there is nothing else out there that our guys can shock me with...

Today, I read a post in our dev forum... that made my eyes bug out.:o :o :o

Knowing that we save the best for last, concerning public statements prior to release...

HOLY COW!!! OMG!!! I wish like HELL... that I could spill the beans today.

I'm running out of socks. One can only spend so much money on socks.

I'm already bankrupt because of the effect GWX has on my socks :yep: :D :rotfl:

Every fecking time someone asks the date is put back, it's now 2019.

Feck :damn:















PS: Only joking :rotfl:
PPS: Really I am joking :rotfl: :rotfl:

Tut tut Steed

December

THIS SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME. :hulk:













I'm going down the pub I just can not take anymore of this. :rotfl:

Suspense? Doesn't apply to me, STEED.:|\\


:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Some of us have actually got no socks left to wear :nope:

Regarding this and all the following posts: I still haven't seen the original.:cry:

Well you will be lucky to have it all in one go then Steve
Hopefully that wont be too far away

I like to act like life is horrible. The fact is that while I'm looking forward to it, my biggest frustration is that I have a couple of ideas I was working on that I think will benefit the community as well. Once I'm up and running (which should be fairly soon) I'll be in touch with you guys directly with my ideas and work.

Well I am glad there is an end in sight
Been a long time coming

I only play barefoot now -- my socks are safe in the drawer!
