What type of SH3 player are you?

TheDudTorpedo · 04-02-09, 05:05 AM

Hi,

Having read quite a few threads now, its obvious there is quite a diverse range of approachs that people use when playing SH3. I've formed the impression that many people here are quite serious (in a good way of course) about the realism factor of the game.

In order to quantify my impression, I thought I might start a poll to test the accuracy, or inaccuracy, of my impression. I also realise that with the many options and tweaks available to the game (some via 3rd party MODS like SH3 Commander), it's not possible to cater for every single type of setup/realism setting. So, I've made some very broad categories that I hope might suffice (please chosse the once closest to your indvidual approach to the game).

What realism setting do you use?
1. Extreme Hardcore : 100% realism + D.I.D
2. Hardcore : 75% - 100% realism
3. Macho Man : 50% - 75% realism
4. Tough Guy : 25% to 50% realism
5. Super Soft : 0% to 25% realism

I'll go first ,and vote 5.

Thanks,
Dud

Realism 85% because I turn on external view and scope stabilization (historically correct) + DID + Manual Navigation.

Guess that makes me an extreme harcore player.

Cheers,
