This game has stolen my life

lanthantos · 01-28-06, 11:04 AM

Ok, i got this game on a whim having played Sh2 and thinking it was "ok" but with the dynamic campaign, the hundreds of mods (ive played a reg campaign, now im working on a IUB campaign) this is a addictive, life stealin, wife angrering

(is that a word?) , game.

I love it

Ive done at least 50 patrols now in 2 wks time, i even set the game to go out of ports etc, then go to bed and see if im still alive in the AM (let it run in realtime haha).

Ubisoft Romania did it right this time, i cant wait to see what SH4 holds.

Being Ex Navy, gotta say, its ABOUT TIME!

Hans Richter (My IUB campaign) is with the 2nd flottilla in his souped up VIIB series, sailing the North Atlantic looking for tonnage, watch out Allies. Its early 41 and you dont have our codes just YET.

Ok back to reality, nah im gonna finish this patrol

.

Who elses life has been taken over?

There's no life like it

I have also been sucked into this game for a good while...it seems that the better I get the more stuff I want to try...sometimes I like destroyer hunting...sometimes I like taking liberty's on with deck guns...always something to keep me interested.

Much to my wife's displeasure

I particularly liked the playing it while sleeping.

Welcome to the land that time forgot. My only advice is to buy your wife something expensive, tell her it is for no reason other than you love her, and you might get to keep sailing. Otherwise, she'll beach you in no time.

I actually got my wife to play against me in another favorite "first person shooter" game I have, using our LAN. But there's lots of action, and she got to shoot me many, many times. Not sure if there isn't some subliminal message there...

But SH3, which we could also play on our LAN, is just not capturing her interest. Can't imagine why, since she enjoys Das Boot almost as much as I do. Umm, that's a tongue-in-cheek comment there. So on days when I get home before she does, I make the most of it and try to sink some ships.

Know exactly what you mean. Luckily my son got "Lego-starwars" for his gamecube for christmas wich in turn my wife love to play with him. I.e I can sneak away for some subsimming

Warning this game is addictive and you will not be able to pull your self away from it

One hell of a game

it draws me in and when you run in to a Destroyer which starts to ping you its panic time

its brilliant one of the best subsims ever well until SH4 but we shall see

This is the first game in awhile that I really look foward to playing. My life is pretty busy and I can't wait to be able to dedicate a good chunk of uninterrupted time to play. Until then a get two hours here and there.

Lets be honest. Some of us have been playing Silent Hunter longer than the war took in real life.

HAAA!!!! No such luck here. Got my 6 year old son Playstation 2 for christmas along with Lego Star Wars and being my sons "best buddy" I couldn't sneak away if I had to.
It's all right most of the time though. He'll never be 6 again and we have a great time together. I wouldn't trade it for SH3, 4, 5 or 6. I wouldn't trade it for nothing. I refuse to be one of those fathers that says "I wish I had been closer to my son." or "I wish I had done that with my son."
Every time I do get to sneak off to my office to fireup the sub he's usually standing right there next to me before I even get the scope up, which he usually puts up for me like a good XO.
Oh...did I forget to mention that he's also my fire control officer. I do the spotting, manual targetting setups, etc.. all the while my torpedo man(son) is saying can we shoot yet, can we shoot yet. Hurry dad he's getting away.
DAD!!! That's captain to you sailor. Hehe....We have fun with anything we do. Usually when we miss I try to tell him it's his fault because he pushed the button to late but he's watched me do manually targetting to many times to fall for that anymore.
"I don't think so dad. You didn't put in the right settings. HOW LONG TO RELOAD?!!!!!"
