Good day
 

Hello there, gentlemen.

To start off, allow me to say how amazed I was that there is such a massive community surrounding the sub-sim genre here, because- to be honest, I wasn't really aware of the existence of the genre, but I've always liked 'realistic' games and games that offered me a great deal of freedom instead of being linear, as well as games in which stealth and cunning are a requirement.

My ignorance came to an end when I came across j2jonjeremy's 'Let's Play SH V' videos and later also effingcontroller's 'Let's Play SH IV' videos on youtube, which I think are a great deal of fun to watch as well as educational.

Both games seem awesome. So, here I sit, torn between whether I should buy SH IV or SH V, any advice guys?

I look forward to learning a lot from you guys and being part of the community.

Cheers, and safe stalking. :p

TLDR: Hi, I'm ShellofLight, and I haven't played any subsims yet, but I'm definitely going to, either SH IV or SH V.

Welcome aboard :yep:

I agree with that. In fact I enjoy effingcontroller's 'Let's Play' so much I am now part of the crew on his sub in SH4 starting in patrol 3 as my subsim handle :yeah:

Which one did you opt for?

Good hunting :salute:

Hi ShellofLight

Welcome to the place to be: Subsim.com :salute:

Thank you! and very nice. I'm currently watching his second patrol, but I'll keep an eye out for you in patrol 3. :)

I'm guessing V though, from what I've seen so far, though I'll probably end up getting them both. :)

Thank you!

Welcome to SubSim ShellofLight. :salute:

You're very welcome :salute:

I'm mentioned at 6 mins 50 :D I like the idea effingcontroller has of adding viewers names into the sub. Makes it more entertaining to be part of the patrols. Incidentally I ended up part of the deck gun crew in patrol 3 part 2 (18 mins into the game :cool:) but I'm only up to part 5 atm. Sounds a bit geeky but hey keeps me off the streets :O:

Both good games with the mods added but also try SH3 as it has a different approach to the campaign

Welcome Aboard :salute:

Wel-come aboard Kaleun ... :up:

Hmmmm...
My advice: Buy SH3 and install GWX.
This game is simply awesome and the best place to start.
Buy SH4 and SH5 too - so you have them handy when you feel
it's time for something new...:)

Great advice right there. :up:

Welcome ShellofLight
