Back after a long while

DavyJonesFootlocker · 07-17-10, 08:54 AM

Wow it took SH5 to return here. But alas I've almost forgotten everything. I'm having trouble targeting torpedos. Any help is needed.

Now there's a name I haven't seen in awhile. Welcome back!

I'm sorry to hear that, on more than one level.

Well, perhaps I understand why he was saying that.

Maybe he thought that SHV could someday surpass SHIII...

I really hope it does, but I'll need to be very patient.

Erm, OK. Thanks Steve. I haven't been playing a lot and I'm attending University so not much time on hand. I got SH5 and was a bit let down. There are some nifty improvements but targeting is getting to me. I have to get used to the new controls. I know it's early but are there any mods out there for SH5 yet? BTW it's funny to hear a North American accent spoken by the Germans.

Yes! There are very many good mods out there which improves the gameplay dramatically. I wouldn't even play without mods. Today I finally got the mods working and now I don't know will I start a career in SH5 or continue my SH3 career. SH3 is superb with GWX and others mods plus it has a certain feeling. SH5 has superb graphics and with mods it is now playable and the immersion is much more better than in SH3 but SH5 misses somehow that feeling which SH3 has..

No, it is not early, and yes, we have an entire forum dedicated to mods.

DavyJonesFootlocker · 07-17-10, 12:42 PM

Thanks all. Going to check out the mods and get back to some action

..and it's great to be back with you talented folks.

I was just teasing a little.

And that's why. It was just a little slam at SH5. But don't get me wrong - I'll be buying it the very minute the DRM is gone. Yes, it needs a lot of work, but it also has a lot of potential, and while I like to have my fun I do hope it will fulfill that potential, and I hope to be part of making that happen.

DavyJonesFootlocker · 07-17-10, 06:39 PM

It's strange that it's the modding community that will make the difference in SH5. So far the mods I installed looks great, particularly the envrionmental ones. I got one crash of the game so far.

@Steve don't worry I have skin as think as a Brunswick Sardine can.

But one favour. Can someone recommend really great mods for SH5 you or anyone may know? There's so many now.

I don't want to be banned or lynched for this but the DRM is dead as of a few days ago

Officaly?, haven't heard anything of the sort.

If your talking un-officaly, then as far as I know you can't play campaign - so not worth looking at.
