Default Was a Big Fan of SHIII, but...

Be honest.........

Is SH4 worth it, or do I try out some of the SHIII mods I haven't seen in almost a year?

I want it to be great, but I'm afraid I'll be dissappointed...........

lets just say that YES, SH4 will be worth it. If nothing else its a beautiful game in terms of graphics. I am dissapointed along with everyone else, and to a degree i felt the same way about SHIII until GWX.

I would wait, but that is just me.

The graphics, IMO, are anything but amazing. The sound needs work and there are quite a few other bug as indicated in other posts.

If you have the money and the curiosity I suppose you could go ahead and buy it, but I don't think you'd really be missing much if you waited.

SHIV has a ton of potential, but so does a Lamborghini without wheels.

OMG ARK, why are you such a hater?! Are you working for some other software company or something!? SH4 is absoloutely brilliant! It could well be the greatest simulation ever made and you're on here night and day moaning like a b@%ch! Why don't you give it a rest and go play your freakin' X-Box!?

Thems fightin words right there me thinks. Ill probably buy it eventually but there is no harm in waiting a couple of months to let all of the dust settle and a couple of patches be relased.

You're kidding me right?

If this absolutely brilliant to you, I'd hate to see absolutely not brilliant.

Childish insults negate your arguement...which is non-existent ayways, so nevermind.

Do me a favor and come back when you have graduated on to mature conversation.


*EDIT* If you are being sarcastic, you had me fooled..and you have my apologies.

Congrats with that post. Very nice argumenting, and clearly well thought through.

The problem with waiting for how the game will improve, is that doing that might cause it not too. If sales are too low, Ubi is going to stop bothering at some point. Personally, I see enough potential in SH4 to buy it now without even blinking. What's the difference if you would buy it anyway in a years time? At least by buying it now I can help ensure the problems of the game get all the attention they deserve.

I think it will be more than worth it in the long run, but there's obvious work needs to be done re: patches and modding. Fortunately, we have an excellent community dedicated to making a good game even better.

I have faith in our modders.
