3 vs. 5

enewmen · 05-10-11, 03:13 AM

Hi All.

Like many, I loved SH3, but afraid of getting 5 because it was just too immature.

I know there are LOTS of old 3 vs. 5 theads, so I'll be more specific rather than asking which is better (apples or oranges).

Most of the 3 vs. 5 threads are about a year old and 5 wasn't very mature then. Are things different now? People promissed a year ago 5 will get better. Let ask these specific things.

Can I say, SH5 is like SH3, but with better graphics and Win 7 support? With things added, NOT removed?
Or the games are still very different. The only way to know if I like 5 is to just buy it and play it?

Also, is the online registration/activation still required?

thanks!

For SH5, so developing the game all the time and that goes for SH4 and SH3 and you sure have noticed that there are quite a lot of information about the games, so take the time to "sniff" out what you think is right for you.

Thanks for the post!

Yes, all the sub-sims keep improving. This makes asking what they are like a moving target.
From your post, SH3 seems like a very different game than SH3 - even after lots of patches.
Anyway, I bought a $10 copy of SH5 at ebay. Then I can try it myself.
I think after playing that a while, the SH5 posts will make more sense.

I think you'll see that SH5 is great fun. I think you'll also see the potential it has if more people help in polishing this rough diamond.
