Going back to Sh3, but here's why..

[fastfed]

First off my system doesn't play the game ALL THAT WELL, but it does play it, I just need to turn everything down.

I am going to go back to Sh3 because I thought I had every single mod, but realized I never even knew about the GWX mod, from what I hear its what made SH3 so great. SH3 is really the only reason I have my computer, lol, I played it allot when I had free time and loved it every time I played it..

I played about 10+ hours of SH4 and I don't want to sit here and bash every little thing about the game, you all know everything that is wrong with the game and I have to deal with all the wrong aswell, but to top it off I have longer load times and frame rates are not so good with my system..

I will be back to SH4 I am sure, but I am going to wait a while, atleast until I start to see allot of mods with this game come out, and of COURSE allot of patches.

With that said I wish you all luck with SH4, I hope the modders make this game great as they did with SH3 ( Though I am about to get into the GWX mod tonight )

Thanks all, and I WILL BE BACK, till then I will be over in the Atlantic, can anyone tell me if I am in for a suprise? In for some fun, being I never even knew GWX was there, and I played the game allot?

If you've never played GWX before, you will probably not come back to SH4 for a long, long, time. I'll see you somewhere in the Nord See Herr Kaleun!

Play it with SH3 Weather, SH3 Gen, and launch it with SH3 Commander. It is important to read the extensive GWX manual and installation instructions carefully.

If your lucky you'll get to join the 2nd patrol and your dead club that AVG set up

And I joined

Seriously you'll find GWX very different to stock SH3. A LOT harder but ultimately more rewarding. Enjoy. Hope we'll see you back in the Pacific soon.

Be warned though. If I see your U-Boat in my periscope sights I will launch all my tubes at you.

Just look at the great work modders have done to SH4 already. I've no doubt it will be a great title evetually. I haven't bought it yet and I don't think I will for atleast six months or so.

Till then GWX offers fantastic gameplay. All the screenshots we see of SH4 where subs surface a few thousand metres from enemy capital ships just don't occur (with any chance of survival that is!).

Nope, although I like the idea of a modern pacific based sumsim (and I really love how it is the most popular PC game ATM), I will remain in the Atlantic for awhile.

You will not be disapointed with GWX, enjoy!

GWX is excellent. You will have a ton of fun with it.

But if you think that SH4 has long load times, just wait until you see the ones for SH3 and GWX. You're talking at least 2 to 3 minutes, easy. This is not a knock on GWX, because I understand the reasoning behind it....it adds so much stuff that there's no way around long load times.

On a P4, 3.6 Ghz, 2 MB ram from the time I click the SH3 icon to the time I am in a campaign patrol we are talking 7 minutes.

I was being very conservative. But now that I think about it, you're right. I would have time to load a game, walk to the mailbox all the way across my apartment complex and come back and still have time to spare.
