Default Thank you all for the great mods but...

SH5 will never get even close to SH3 as a sim...

Sorry.

Hey, Mr. Positivity, stop apologizing and go play SH3.

Thats what I've been doing for two weeks solid, trying to find a glimmer of hope for this fairly good PS3 arcade game... But no luck so far.

Whats the differences between SH3 and SH5? Anything a real sub sim fan would consider not buying the game for? Would love to see your point form reasons, so I could comment on each.

If I never played SH3 or SH5 and was shown both, I would say SH3 looks like crap and pickup SH5, but would surely like to know the reasons not to buy the game.

Dont get me wrong, I enjoy it too, but where is the crew management?
A must have in my opinion, not to mention the ships still running ashore,
bombers still pretending to attack when you have shot three of their engines, crew (all eleven of them) running around like headless chickens...

Not a sim in my books.

Give the game a couple years. The level of polish on SH3 took a number of years too. These things (supermods) do not sprout up over night or in the period of a few months.

One thing I'm getting tired of seeing?
Is 'GWX this or that'

As Ducimus said.
It took years to do the Super Mods for SH3.
Even for Sh4 it took more then a month +.

And the 'GWX this or that' stuff?
Let us rest in Peace PLEASE!

I've seen this slapped in the face of the Dev's
so often that I cringe when I see things like this.

We all know that already. But comparing SH5, that just came out, with SH3+GWX is not really fair.
Give SH5 a couple of years, patience young grasshopper.

I'm doing it...throwing my 2 cents in again!
I played SH3 for years, GWX with it for years. Loved it.
I'm playing SH5 and love it too.
To be fair, sometimes playing SH5 I think, "man, too bad so-and-so from SH3 isn't implemented." But it doesn't keep me from having fun.
I go back and play SH3 and I find myself thinking, "Man, too bad so-and-so from SH5 isn't in this!"
What can we learn from this? They're both enjoyable sub oriented games. (Sims/Games/whatever)
In time, SH5 will continue to improve because of the very people that share thoughts here, just as SH3 did. This makes me smile broadly. Continue showing patience and SH5 will be one hellodolly of a subsim. I have no doubt of that, because it's already very good in just a month or two.

its not what we're used to sure. people will embrace it or not. i for one welcome change and honestly despite what anyone says, if sh5 had the exact same mechanics as 3 and 4 people would complain about that too. there are issues, as with any new game, but patches will fix them and of course the modders here do wonders.
