Default SH5

Anyone play both SH3 and SH5, how do they compare? Is SH5 worth getting, I see it gets bad reviews.

SH5 IS worth gettin' now that the GREAT modders have brought it up to speed of where it should have been outta the box

As compared ... I think SH3 is a better playin' game but SH5 sure does look pretty and both are fun in their own rights and for 5 bucks or so ya can't go wrong

As above: Both (no, all three - SH4 has many good points as well) are cheap, cool and fun.

I have all of the SH sims but keep going back to SHIII which I enjoy more then the others. I also have Knights of the sea which in my opinion is crap.

IMHO Sh5 is not that much fun to play, but it looks really nice. I will fire that up once in a while but not for very long

Sh3 is the game I play alot, very immersive gameplay, and when modded is very historically accurate with very nice graphics.

From what I've read, seems SH5 is mostly eye candy, and missing important things like... a FEW subs models and the last two years of the war!
And since I barely have the time to play SH3, none to play SH4 I certainly won't invest in another game even if it has nice water effects.
