Gave up on SH4. Back to SH3. It's good to be home.

I bought SH4 a while back. Wanted to try it out and was impressed with the graphics (especially the transparent water and reflections). However, the game overall lacks something important: atmosphere. Sure, technically, it's a far superior piece of software. But as an entertainment experience, I find SH3 much more satisfying. I can't nail down specifics, but messages from BDU and the music that plays when you sink a ship are a couple of examples.

So I dusted off my old copy, reinstalled it, and am on patrol number 2. It's good to be home.
