The sound, which for me defines a subsim is woefully poor, the graphics aren't bad but could be miles better especially the skins and textures, the 3d interface is a great idea, allowing you to 'interact' with your 3d crew but it's only 1/4 done and badly at that. It feels like a half finished game, compared to what you and I would have included/added to it.

Well are you sure you have a good computer with all the bells and whistles. The graphics are bad? The graphics are fantastic! And i know this game got sold to non sub gamers because of the graphics, a friend of mine brought SH3 and hes not a sub sim player! Yet he was taken to it by the graphics. Also the sound is very good as long as you have 5n1 or 7n1 surround sound then your be blown away by the intense sound input the dev team put into it especially when submerged and your under attack from depth charges. Theres also some very good sound mods out. The sound is awesome! To get the best out of this game you need a pretty good computer, then turn every option up high even the resolution you can edit it in gamesettings config file.. You wanna know what bad graphics is then go install SHII at the time it was ok but after playing SH3, its bad.
As for SH4 coming out, i can't see what is the hurry, SH3 is good enough as it is, i probably wont even buy SH4 cos i'll still be playing SH3 for at least another 3-4 yrs from now, then i might tire of it and buy SH4 which will be like 10 bucks by then
I agree with the guy that mentions that 95% would never install mods for this game. My friend still plays with the original patch he can't see why it needs patching or mods cos it plays perfect for him. I got a funny feeling when SH4 comes out, there be players not happy with it, the graphics should of been better, or do we get the SDK etc., I too have moan at SH3 mainly with the CTD, but once you work out the problems, rig your game to how you want it to be whether mods or no mods and have good hardware, then your realise SH3 is the best subsim to come out ever and theres no need for a SH4 so soon, unless only if the next SH4 will be playing as a different side eg play as the US subs and the SDK comes with it, then i will buy it straight away!
