Is SHIII boring you. - Page 4

MENTAT · 06-20-06, 10:34 AM

I have to admit that it is boring sometimes. Especially travelling far distances in the middle of the atlantic nothing to do, nobody around. It bores me occasionaly..

What i see is, SH3 is missing "Minigames" or "Mini scenarios" shall i say, Even Starwars-Kotor had minigames just for "differentiation" it adds flavor, it adds excitement and variety.

More crew struggle, rescue pilot missions, Spy/agent transportation thru English coasts.. Instant/Opportunity missions will surely add flavor to the game.

Interesting that you dredged up a thread that is almost a year old, but I'll bite. After more than a year I still don't find SHIII boring; but that's probably because I was never looking for a fun game. I like ships, pure and simple, and I play because it makes me feel like I'm back on a ship again, so the sights and sounds are much more to me than just eye-and-ear candy. I wouldn't mind some special missions, but they really should be very few and very far between.

Me bored? Never.

Yep, no boredom. There is one catch, though, I'm finding it hard to play SHIII outside of WaW. But boring? Nope. I can still see myself playing this several years later. I mean hey, I'm still playing Falcon 4.0 almost 8 years since it was released, and SHIII is probably better-suited for my playing preferences (if only it was as polished by modding as F4 ended up... but we still have time!)

I haven't gotten out of 1939 yet and I'm still playing the game and have been at it for 6 months or so. I keep installing the new mods and I always restart. I have come to the conclusion that I need to get out of 1939 so I will be using the NYGM as it runs smoother on my puter. I just found my Sub Command CD's so I will be playing both soon. Have to find time to enjoy the sun.

I agree. I know it's not the sea but my sisters boyfriends dad has a cool wooden boat on Loch Lomond, not one of the plastic noddy boats. First time I spent three days on it, second it was just over a week. I loved the sound of the hammering diesels, the water against the hull. and even the 9 knots max speed it had was damn cool. I relive it playing SH3. Many a time I stand on the bridge or have the external camera following my sub and think "wow" and remember Loch Lomond.

On a more practical note, the game seems always to surprise me. Just as I think I've seen it all it throws something new at me.

That's my problem too. I'm waiting for the new Grey Wolves and Commander 2.6 before I start over. Until then I'm testing NYGM 2.0 through a variety of single missions.

SH3 Boring who said that? What a crime to say that!

SH3 is fantastic, brilliant I can't get enough of it, it rocks.

This idea just blows me away, as in I totally do not connect with it. If the game can't hold your interest on its own merits, its over. At least for me it would be. I would find it more practical to Alt-tab and play solitaire, or see if the wife wants to play spin-the-bottle.

To the original poster, there is a real world out there too, maybe its time to take a break and check it out ? No shame in that at all, fair winds to you.

Just when the game start to be boring in an patrol.....and I,m about to press ESC and quit....my lovely Sonar guy Yells at me there is an ship nearby

I,m on an patrol now till south america and there is a lot of tankers.
I,m on 3/4 way to my grid and already sunk
2 T2 tankers
1 T3 tanker
1 Liberty Cargo

and that just keeps me up playing...and also the heavy weather Ow I love to be on the bridge and see my Sub bouncing on the waves. and also It hides me from beeing detected to quikly

So does SH3 starts to bore me?
Harrrrrrrrrr No!

So you say that SH4 should also be the same? SHouldnt they add extra features to SH4? Then what would you like them to do in SH4?

I dont care if its the same or if they add new feats...I'll buy it anyway

Ubisoft creates one of the best and most handy gameplay I ever have seen in an complicated game like this.

mini-games? I hate blimming mini-games. Let's face it, they are and appeal to kiddies only! I don't want to see 'em in SH4. Or maybe....the only mini-game I wouldn't mind seeing is Russian Roulette. They could put a Luger in the game and you could challenge any crew man you don't like.

HunterICX · 06-21-06, 05:50 AM

or a minigame : ''Find the Crewmember that took a Dump on the captains bed!'' and launch him via the torpedo tube!

Far out, talk about freaking out, i just read a post i wrote up here dated a year ago, and now im going did i right that rubbish! Sheesh what was i thinking!!! :rotfl:

JScones · 06-21-06, 07:27 AM

I don't think any game I've ever played has kept my interest as long as SH3 has. A few games may have come close (Panzer Elite

), but nothing has surpassed it.

Mind you though, were it not for the subsequent mods, I think my interest would have waned quite a while ago, like it did with SH2, which lasted a whole two (highly repetitive) patrols...
