Weekend Alone

Morning all,

I want to thank all of you who chimed in on the thread regarding the fact that I had the evening, all evening to play Silent Hunter as the wife was going to be gone.

You are not going to believe how I spent my night playing SIlent Hunter 3....

To quote that great public speaker Maxwell Smart...Would you believe playing Silent Hunter 4!

My boss got transferred and as a going away gift he gave me the game.

I have been curious about it so I loaded, and played for awhile, and these are my observations....

First of all let me say that I have a rig that can more then handle this game, I DL the patch, restarted defragged and compressed.

It loads much faster but it is the stock game not modded.

I couldnt get past the graphics, they are good, but look cartoonish, or like they were drawn in pastels and water colors, not the detail that we're used too.

I find it interesting that the first mod released for the game is Uboat missions,

The commands are the same, but it just seems overall weak, the graphics are weak, it stutters and spurts,

Most importantly, I will remain an avid SH3 fan, and as a distraction every now and again, I may load up 4
