You know, I was under the impression that subsim.com was a place for people to gather who
enjoyed sub/naval simulators, etc.. A place to discuss and make great games better.
I understand some of the disappointment surrounding SH4(I have the same game as everyone else), but it has gotten to a point that seems very much like beating a dead horse. With this in mind, I would like to start a thread focused on what we
LIKE about SH4 and what UBI got right.
What I like about SH4:
1. Crew management. I think this is a definate improvement over SH3.
2. The graphics. (of course) Water looks better, the sub textures, etc look great. Explosions and smoke and beaches! oh my!
3. The career mission generator. I really love the fact that my mission goals include more than just 'patrol grid xxx'.
4. Playing from the American side of things. A nice change from the lovable yet overdone(a little bit) U-boats.
5. Crewmen walking the decks of the ships I am about to sink. I actually worry about them, and wonder who they leave behind.
6. The liferafts after I sink said ships. The poor souls who escape my AA gun only to become shark bait later on.
7. The harbours are populated with ships and seem alive with land-based animations(even more deckgun targets :p )
8. Underwater plants and rocks. I like 'em.
What do YOU like about SH4?
