SH3 - GWX end of an ERA

longam · 03-25-10, 07:05 PM

Does anyone really plays this combo anymore. Or is it a bragging right?

------------------------------------------------------------

Post your SH3 - GWX patrol logs if you want too...(not)

------------------------------------------------------------

How many hours do you actually participate in the game weekly?

I thought this was the SH5 forum?

Nico71 · 03-25-10, 07:14 PM

Why not? Now even with full interior, widescreen, and it's generally in much better shape than SH5 atm.

While great in it's day, sh3 looks horribly dated next to SH5. And yes, SH3 does have it's own forum.

Sailor Steve · 03-25-10, 08:05 PM

Not only does it have its own forum, but all you have to do is visit there to get an answer to your question.

And it has a thread full of current patrol logs.

Will-Rommel · 03-25-10, 11:50 PM

A bit disapointed to see a 1500 posts member make such a thread..?

It's not like subsim structure should be a mystery to you anymore lol !

Those interior views on that youtube vid horribly dated? I beg to differ! Looks a damn sight better that SH5 and it's colourfulness. Only the water is clearly superior in SH5, along with the support for newer shader models making the lighting more realistic. Though on the other hand SH3's modded water in storms with the wakes not being transparent like the Pacific is a notable plus. Otherwise I don't see the superiority of SH5 considering it's 5 years newer.

Been out of the loop for a while but after seeing these mods hell I want to fire up SH3 again!

"Does anyone really plays...this combo..." guess im still a kid, dont wanna play all that grow'd up stuff, jus' yit..

well, i have, at the moment some holiday. i have time to get into stuff and so far i have spent a very very wonderful two days with gwx+sh3 and i am reading 'drumbeat' to boot! i am, in a sence, immersed in submersion - or the other way around?!!

sh5? my machine can not run it - no money to upgrade, probably like a lot of people, may i assume....and my sh3+gwx is running smooooth and cool

certainly not a bragging right for me
maybe you are bored or feeling antagonistic? poking a stick into the ant hill...

...well, that was my reaction to your stick...

I notice that the ant hill is pretty well ignoring the Amdro here. That's because they're having too much fun to bite! SH3 has achieved immortality. It will be played 10 years from now by loyal fans. SH5 has a LONG way to go to achieve a tenth of SH3's status. I don't see where SH3 has any problems dominating this new Frankenstein Monster.

SH3 was absolutely groundbreaking, bringing seminal features to the submarine simulation genre by the dozen which had never been seen before. The contrast between SH3 and previous subsims was the contrast between a PC and an abacus. SH5 can claim no such distinction. If anything it's arcade submarine meets the Sims, with the Sims part done badly. SH3 also had a degree of game polish that no Silent Hunter has had since then. It was remarkably coherent, focused and the atmospherics just fit the game perfectly. Although the game had its bugs and it had an oppressive DRM, it was so compelling that they didn't matter.

Honestly the game is so freaking good I have no reason to move on.

I mean, I'm tempted to see what the graphics are like in SH4, and see what it's like from the American side in the Pacific (though there seems to be a u-boat add-on or something)?

But the fact is, SH3 is graphically still pretty amazing in stock, and with the mods, it's really amazing.

And it seems super-realistic to me in terms of how to use a u-boat to launch torpedoes. And it is super-challenging, and it is ever-changing.

I've been playing it for years, and I'm still not tired of it.

SH3 forever!

I think that is a big reason I will always play SH3(or at least the Atlantic theater...I still have hope for SH5). I like the challenge of going from the scourge of the seas

early in the war to the challenge of trying to stay alive late in the war

and seeing the changes in u-boats and Allied weapons.

I do have a place in my heart for the Fleet boats in the Pacific though

. I'm pretty new to SH4 and I'm still getting my feet wet, so the jury is still out on SH4. An enjoyable game from what I've seen so far.

Myxale · 03-28-10, 01:30 AM

SH3 is filled with years and years of many peoples dedication and hard work.

How can one assume it to be dated or dead is beyond me!

SH3+Mods...still sailing...
