SHIII

Matt86 · 02-24-10, 05:49 AM

Not entirely sure if this is the best place to post this question, but I would like the opinions of my fellow SHIV players.

I have the opportunity to get SHIII for cheap but is it worth it? I wont be able to download many mods (data cap of 512mb a month) and GWX3 is over a gig I see... Would/should that be a deal breaker?
How does it compare to SHIV 1.4, will the older game frustrate in any ways?

Thank you for any help!

well, i always liked both games, so maybe i'm biased. But definitely get SH3 and find a way to get GWX

It's still being modded, even now, and some very good new mods there are too - look in the mods section. Look for Han Solo's Das Boot U-boat pens for example

I'm pretty new to SH4 but I've played SH3 for a couple of years now. So far, I like SH4. It has its issues but the mods are fantastic.
I don't think you could go wrong with SH3 with mods. SH3 is very good. Find a way to get GWX or one of the other super mods.

Find jimbuna in the SH3 section. I bet if you talk nice to him, he may be able to set you up with a disc with the GWX files. Look at the sizes of the other super mods, they might work better for you, download wise.

Where are you located?

Matt - pm me, and I'll ship you a couple of DVD's with all downloads for SHIII/SHIV

You should get both SH III and SH IV. Worth every cent!

Well, I was going to post that download limitations are not a problem, because plenty of people here will be glad to send discs with supermods on them; but it looks like it's already happened.

Way to go, guys!

Id just like to give a big thank you to Jan Kyster, less than 3weeks and I have three DVDs worth of mods AND a copy of the UBMs. And all he asks is a donation to Subsim when I'm able.

Thank you Jan and thank you Subsim for a great community second to none Ive seen.
