Silent Hunter 4 or 3 (GWX included)

[Tachyon]

Well, I've been away for a really long while... and after hearing about some bad bugs with Silent Hunter 4 , I decided not to go for it.

However, now that some patches have finally come out, I'd like to know if I should get Silent Hunter 4 or stick to playing Silent hunter 3 (with the GWX addon of course).

Play both
SH4 with the 1.5 patch and Lurkers Operation Monsoon mod is a good play

I split time between both games

i use to be an sh3 junkie, but theni tried SH4 andi found it a little bit more fun than SH3. esp. with RFB

The GWX team have announced that they are now working on GWX 4 for SH4.
They haven't given a release date yet and have stated that they will be running silent and deep until the mod is ready for release.

I'm a SH3 man but have just got hold of SH4 so that I can get used to the stock game (and the great mods that are already out there) in preparation for GWX 4.

Alright, thanks for the inputs.

Just two questions :

1)What's the Lurkers Operation Monsoon mod about?
2)Is the SH4 expansion worth it? Buying it in order to get a patch seems to be another clever market ploy...

SH4 has been a great game since the release of patch 1.3 over a year ago. Everything else has been gravy. Those who demand perfection are destined to have nothing.

It is always amazing to me that SH3 players take the time to lecture us about how full of bugs SH4 is and how it isn't worthwhile if its bugs aren't fixed. Meanwhile their game of choice can suddenly totally forget your whole career if you save within detection distance of any ship, plane or offshore bird, within a nebulous distance from shore, if you are submerged (or is it on the surface?), or if you aren't facing Mecca.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Don't forget that it can also forget your whole career if it just doesn't like you or (my personal favourite) just because...:rotfl:

You might want to put a "some" in there. The only thing that keeps me from playing SH4 is the state of my computer. I'll still talk up SH3 just because of things like Commander, but I've said all along that SH4 is the wave of the future. I agree that some of us (them?) are rather narrow-minded about the games we play.

I see no reason to issue challenges and start fights.
