Silent Hunter 3 vs. Silent Hunter 5 ... who's the best?

sbarrumba · 05-21-10, 07:29 PM

I think SH3 is much higher in many aspects .... ignoring the graphic detail of SH3 that undoubtedly does not reach the levels of sh5 one can not see the clear difference related to playability and realism achieved by SH3.
you can not just say that sh5 can match this SH3.
you having to walk 2 km of submarine to reach the gun and then having to make another 2 km to tell the helmsman to turn left? if only these details I think we can rule the winner.

Not this again.

In before trolls.

Sure ATM SH3 is better than SH5. But in time SH5 will be the same, only with Better graphics and the ability to walk around your sub.

So in a year or so SH5 will be better than SH3. all the things that SH5 lacks will be added over time.

So imagine SH3 with better graphics, ability to walk everywhere and improved AI..... SH5 will win this battle, i'm sure of it.

I'll go for SH5 kickin' arse in time.
In before the Trolls myself.

Ok, i'll take the bait. This depends on what your looking for.

- Fully working functionality but a bit shy on eyecandy? Sh3.

- Partially working functionallity, more choices, some eye candy improvements? Sh4.

- Partially working functionality, fewer choices, and massive eye candy improvements? SH5.

It's going to turn into a Beer commercial here real quick!

Less filling!
More taste!

Ducimus · 05-21-10, 08:50 PM

I LOVE miller lite. My favorite beer. It IS less filling and tastes great. Gimme a frosty long neck!

I'm an old Busch Beer drinker myself.
I change from time to time.
But I really don't like anything Lite.

Here's tipping the Long Neck to ya!

Wouldn't that make SH5 three sub sims rolled into one?

You know... if one were to look at SH5 strictly from a file/resource point of view, your absolutely correct.
