Well here I am. A noob to Sh3 with my first post. Hello to all.
The reason I got the game was I saw it the budget review section in PCGamer last month. Liked what I saw and after a bit of research on the tinternet decide to fork out my £10. Not a genre I've really tried before but a tenner's not really that much to gamble.
Now I am addicted! I live in Hull, a port in the north of England. Every time I see a ship on the river I start estimating its speed and AOB.
So after reading the pitiful manual and still being more or less clueless as to how to play a quick google search lead me here. I've been spending dinner hours for the last week scanning through the forums and have now been able to up the realism to a massive 29%
.
Most gaming forums have helpful people on them but this forum is one of the most mature I have used. The EVE online community is quite like this one whereas Oblivion forum is probably the most hostile place on the net.
There is nothing worse than been stuck with something and only to be shot down in flames for asking a simple question in a forum by some 15 year old windbag who probably was stuck the same as you were six months ago. Not seen any evidence of that here.
Looking at all I still have left to learn with this game I can forsee me asking some pretty stupid questions in the near future.
