I Have Not Played SHIII in Six Weeks

bill clarke · 07-07-06, 07:51 PM

What a hiatus, been in Sunny Darwin for 6 weeks, will be fun getting used to the game again, anyone else had a "long" break from the game ?

I'll be hanging up the virtual captains hat (again) before too long. I'll probably go back to playing/modding Oblivion for awhile, then surface here again after a month or three.

Last played SH3, or last loaded SH3?

I last loaded SH3 yesterday. I last played SH3 nearly 4 months ago.

Hopefully the latest release of SH3Cmdr will go smoothly <touch wood>, in which case I'll be off to actually re-acquaint myself with playing SH3 again for enjoyment.

Then I'll be keenly testing the next release of The Grey Wolves (there are some new features I simply can't *wait* to play with), then after its release I think I'll be taking a back seat, at least until SH4 gets here!

and you more than deserve it after all this hard work

HunterICX · 07-08-06, 04:53 AM

I havent touched SH3 for an year!
When I got the game just I played a lot with my Friends online....after they got bored and moved on, I continued the Stock SH3 career for a while but that got bored....so...I moved on with other games for an year, and after some time I met an old buddy that still plays SH3...And when I surfed the web I came up on this page...and start the career again and after GW I,m going to enjoy this game for an long time

Same here, stopped playing SH3 about a year ago, until I saw i Grey Wolves screenshot on a Norwegian gaming forum. I came back here, and discovered that Grey Wolves is not just cool, its GREAT.

Hi

Stopped playing 5-6months ago.

Reason: There is no big "up and down"-effect when shipping the rough sea for example. Your sub should be more shakened when in rough sea. There is no big physical difference of the boat when in calm sea or in rough sea - except the wave heights differs. Well, still waiting for such a mod

But nice to see, that there are still really good mods out for SH3. Maybe Ill try some in a few days. GW looks good

johan_d · 07-08-06, 07:06 AM

Well, I am just new, discovered the game just a week ago. I had then added GW mod, and use SH COmmander and SHGen, what makes this wonderfull and immersive expierience.

About the up and down effect, well, with SHCommander I did set the waves Seasonal, and they were big in a storm just below the Irish coast. I did had to let go a target due to the bad weather. Followed the poor merchant for a couple of hours, but after spilling one torpedo I decided it had just pure luck. I went, further SE, en after a day or so got slightly better weather, where I found another victim who I sunk.

Anyhow, we were shaking all over..

I am recovering from a head injury and I can't work or lift more than 20 pounds for the next few weeks.
Even walking more than two blocks makes me woozy.

So the good part is I've been playing SH3 pretty constantly for several days!

Even SH3 makes me tired, after a while. But its nice to be back into the game - and just in time for the new release of Commander, too!

johan_d · 07-08-06, 10:03 AM

Take care with your head then.. slow ahead.. lol.

I am also looking into the mission design part.. where I live, a lot had happened what is barely known, Operation Switchback area.
After DDay the Germans are been pushed up north and escaped by boat over the river Scheld, Netherlands. I remember as a kid seeing the Uboat nets here ashore. A massive heap of steel rings. I'm just 40 years old, so you have an idea how long they have been laying here..
Anyhow, after Antwerp was lost to the Allies, convoys started to come in there, while the rest of the Netherlands was in German hands for a winter..
So, you can imagine it has mission potential, just look at the map, a giant death trap for uboats..

ive only just started playing it again, i was away from it for bout six months or so then just got the taste back again, (hope i dont loose it again)

Torplexed · 07-08-06, 10:40 AM

According to my career files my last save was on March 27th, 2006. But, hey ya gotta give the sim a break every once in a while or it starts to become stale. Or is that heresy?
