After Playing Hearts of Iron 3, I say Silent Hunter 5 is great!

[the_tyrant]

Sure you guys bash SH5. But in reality its not that bad!
First of all, the graphics are great. Not Crysis grade, but at least COD grade.
The sounds sound decent, and the system requirements aren't that high.

Imagine a game that has poor ai, even worse graphics, and miserable sound.

Sure you guys complain about how ships crash in port and all that, but us Hearts of Iron players have to endure worse! Silent Hunter 5 players don't have to endure an interface that lies, graphics that look like their from 2002, and no multi core support! Hearts of Iron lags on everything, even xeon workstations with 32gbs of memory.

Hearts of Iron is still in pretty bad shape after 4 patches, 1 expansion pack, and 1 patch for the expansion pack.


Always remember, there is someone that got it worse than you somewhere.

There's a lot of people here that don't bash SH5. There are also a lot of people here that enjoy HoI.

I did enjoy HoI2 and HoI3 a lot. 3 was a big step forward compared to 2 (interface wise at least). Sure the game is far from perfect, but (quite like SH series) there's NOTHING else on the market of such high quality where it comes to strategy (and I mean strategy, not tactics). Graphics is the last feature I would demand from HoI series producers, one doesn't need much to move unit tokens on a map.

When I think of comparisons, SH5 compared to SH3 is much less developed (pushed forward) than HoI3 compared to HoI2. In some fields it's even worse - one can't say that about HoIs, I think.

Really !?

Good thing I didn't spend a buck to get the expansion.

I really enjoyed HoI 2 (even if it has its falws) but the last one is a major disappointment.

[Gabucino]

It's really hard to say which one is worse... I'll call it a tie.

[Castout]

Is this game really that bad? I just ordered it. Still have time to cancel it

I really enjoyed HoI 2.

Raptor recommended the game too . . .

Well, only the SH3 fanatics are used to come over and constantly bash SH5. And those who are playing on Hitler's computer and are unable to climb a ladder in a video game.

I see you're back to your self-centered antics again, just when I was starting to have hope for you. Who in this thread mentioned SH5 or compared it to SH3 until you did? The OP compared SH5 to Hearts Of Iron, not SH3, and favorably so as well. Did you have to turn it into another "Mine is better than yours" thread?

You exclude the many people who have played SH5 and didn't like it. They aren't necessarily SH3 fanatics.

And those who are playing on Hitler's computer...

What exactly is that supposed to mean? People with old computers? Why insult them?

...and are unable to climb a ladder in a video game.

Haven't we had that conversation? You seems stuck in a rut, unable to look beyond your own anger.

I think you owe an explanation for your comments, as well as an apology.

Not sure why are you jumping in Steve, is nothing against you. I always respected your oppinion and I also agree with your hate against Ubi and their frakin drm. But drm is a joke compared to what was Starforce at that time. But I suppose only your addiction to the "argument clinic" sketch keeps you jump in these debates :P

Regarding the rig.. is not an insult, its a fact. At todays price is cheaper to buy a performant rig than fill your car tank, no matter if you live in US or your a monk in Tibet. And most of those who are bashing SH5, are unable to climb the frinkin ladder, also a fact.

Bottom line, I dont wanna get into a debate as I managed to doge the other topic filled with a lot of hate against SH5. But is pretty disturbing that every frakin week there is somebody who come over and start hit on SH5, with arguments or not. Im getting tired off and maybe we need some more restrictive moderation about.

wow, talk about a race to the bottom.

aim high my friend, thats how we have ended up with one of the best mod communities on the internet!

HOI 3 is really a great game. Every game has flaws, but I say HOI 3 beats SH5 in turms of lifelength

I have no problem with complaining about the complainers. It's just that this thread was praising SH5 (in a backhanded sort of way) and had nothing to do with SH3, so I don't see why that had to come up again. Then again, maybe I'm missing something.

Not quite true. I don't even have a car, and I've been saving to buy a new computer for months. Sometimes I wonder if it's ever going to happen.

I don't think it's as bad as all that, but you could be right.

About the ladders, though: There could be a number of technical reasons why a particular setup makes precision difficult. Saying that people don't like SH5 because they can't climb a ladder is, to me at least, no different than just saying they don't like it because they're stupid. Someone could just as easily claim that people who do like SH5 are so lacking in imagination they need to be spoon-fed so-called "immersion" because they can't think for themselves.

That is no more true than your "ladders" thing. It's just another way to insult people you disagree with.

HoI3 is a good quality game. IMO it isn't as good as HoI2, but I say that considering that HoI2 was the best game I've ever played in 20 years of gaming.

Hi!

I do not think Silent Hunter V vs Hearts of Iron III is really a fair comparison: Ubisoft halted all development and bug fixes for Silent Hunter V months ago, while Paradox continues to support Hearts of Iron III with expansion releases that add features and try to squash old bugs without creating too many new ones. The first HOI III expansion was "Semper Fi"; the next one will be "For the Motherland".
