100% Yes. Money well spent. I am playing this game since march :cool:
Compare it with the Blueshift expansion for HalfLife: I finished the game in 4 hours :o

I bash SH3 now, because I have spotted its many faults. But that does not change the many GREAT hours of excitement I have had with the game. It just is too shallow for me to carry on like I did with previous Sub sims. Or I am too jaded and prefer my dosage harder. I dunno. But SH3 is definitely worthy of your money and I would recommend it to anyone who expresses an interest in submarine games.

Seldom have I came across a game that I played for as long as SH3.

I'd say it was a pretty good buy, in my country new release games regardless of how crap they are doing overseas are between $90-99.

But i'd say with enough mods and possibly a few more patches, i'll have to say money very well spent.

I've got enough reservations about it at the moment.

hi,

I have never played a game as much as i play SH3.
The game is a resounding success.
Yes , money well spent;)

By the way , this forum is really a great place to hang out.

Thanks

I think so for the most part.

I rarely buy games. Before SH3 I had been playing Enemy Territory for years because it's good and free and runs on Linux!

Very well spent money I say! :up:
:rock:

$40 US for the game itself.
$40 US for a good DVD-Rom to even play the game.
$4 for state sales tax....



All money well spent considering the SH2 disaster.

Well i am not suprised with the results so far. 87 votes and 4 with a no. But those 4 people haven't given a hint on why it is a no.
I agree the game still has flaws, all I know is when my next patrol comes along theres a bottle of wine a nice long cigarrette :know: and the waves rock :rock:
And for a few hours in the dwindling night i am in a U-Boat :sunny:

capnmike575 07-08-05 06:12 PM

$40 for the game

$170 for more ram

$7 for notebooks for my KTB and crew records

$4 for a ruler set

$45!!! for a good stop watch (not digital ..tick...tick...tick)

$12 u-boat commanders handbook (a new one to replace one i lost)

$8 to print out the ship id book at staples.

i'm poor but happy :yep:

LOL - me too - I haven't flown a single mission in IL-2 since SH3 came out, even though I'd been playing IL-2 almost exclusively (other than a misguided diversion into SWG for a while) since it originally came out. The fact that IL-2 was waiting for its "next big patch" when SH3 came out made it easier to take a break from it for SH3, but the IL-2 patch has arrived and although I've downloaded the patch I still haven't been able to break away from SH3 to get back in the air (I will eventually - still love the IL-2 series, but I gotta finish my SH3 career first :) )

Absolutely best game investment in a long time. I paid what I assume is full price on the day of release here in the states, and have no complaints.

If anything, the devs have built is a great platform to expand and modify.

Lannes 07-08-05 11:59 PM

I have not gotten this much value out of a game since the first Combat Mission game by Battlefront. I played that one, and it's two sequels for no telling how many hundreds of hours. Still do, as a matter of fact, when the mood strikes... :up:

The original Half-Life would also go into the "Gaming Value" Hall of Fame.

Deep-Six 07-09-05 12:20 AM

I have spent:

$120 for mobo and proc

$59X2 for RAM

$60+ for video card

$20 for a new P/S

and $40 for SH3

Well worth it. :D

CCIP 07-09-05 12:37 AM

I'm thinking of getting one more copy, but I'd have no use for it - plus I'd rather put that money for F4 allied force.


Oh, right, the main question.

Well, I can safely tell you that this is the most worthwhile $60CDN purchase I've made in my life, period. I don't think any other comment is even needed here.
