My romance and GWX 2.0 v SH4

Thaum · 12-13-07, 07:31 AM

As a regular lurker on these forums, I see there's much discussion and praise for the latest GWX for SH3.

I remember installing Grey Wolves long ago to SH3 and many a great campaign I enjoyed.

However, for most of this year I've been using only SH4 (with various mods).

There's something missing, and I can't put my finger on it. Perhaps it is the lack of a German crew shouting ALARM!! when we crash dive. Perhaps its the lack of my imagining being in Das Boot - not relevant in the Pacific!

Anyway, I remember first installing SH4 and being impressed with the graphics. Her poor older sister was removed from my hard drive because our romance had ended.

News of GWX 2.0 being available is making me get all nostalgic, and I'm beginning to regret ending my fling with SH3.

So, could we pick up from where we left off, or is there no going back?

How does SH3 with GWX 2.0 compare to SH4? I appreciate different mods create different flavours, and thanks to all the selfless modders who make it possible.

At the risk of sounding chauvanistic, is it like comparing your current girlfriend with an ex?

Perhaps if my ex lost a few pounds, had a boob job, bum job, facial surgery, treatment for halitosis, teeth straightened, a brain transplant, and wore a sexy new dress I would be tempted!?

If truth be known, in SH4 I spend most of my time working with the map view, and pop up the scope just to get the info I need - I seldom feel the need to drool over fancy graphics these days using the fancy camera view.

Would a return to a U-boat with GWX 2.0 be a good thing? Would I offend the younger and better looking younger sister?

Would/should GWX 2.0 enable me to rekindle my romance with SH3?

Thaum.

You'll never know without making the leap.

Nothing wrong with playing both

I have played SH4 since its beginning and it is a great game and only getting better. From the sounds and looks of things 2.0 should not disappoint, I will be
trying it soon

Played the hell out of the first GWX.

SH3/GWX1.03 was worth EVERY minute, I played it....

Agree with this 100%

I am grateful for both titles Pacific, atlantic, mars - whatever - the SH franchise has never been more alive and kicking than it is right now.
SH4 had no more short comings than Sh3 did when it first came out, I belive SH4 is destined for great things.

SH4 is just a whore !!!! A FILTHY WHORE !!!!

Ivan Putski · 12-13-07, 02:49 PM

Well I for one am enjoying both, the GWX team, as well as other modders have done wonders for SHIII, that did`nt happen overnight. In time, with the help from all that create these great mods, I suspect SHIV to be a jewel too.

Penelope_Grey · 12-13-07, 03:19 PM

Id laugh if both found out what you were doing and torpedoed your ass! :rotfl:

Boris · 12-13-07, 08:11 PM

SH4 frustrated the hell out of me with all that i missed from SH3 GWX. As a result I never completed a single patrol in SH4 because I just wasn't satisfied, and kept giving up on it.
SH3 GWX 2.0 is the best you can get out of a subsim in terms of realism and attention to historical detail. SH4 has a looong way to go before it is on the same par.

Me too, well if I could run SH4 I would.

JAKE · 12-15-07, 09:08 AM

There's a lack of good subs in SH4 those old tubs take weeks to crash dive and then they got a crush depth thats a fraction of what a type VIIC has. I personaly can't get on with SH4 but i haven't any mods for it........ Now i'm off to patrol the Atlantic.

bigboywooly · 12-15-07, 10:47 AM

The only thing that really bugs me in SH4 is the interface
Cant get around that so rarely play

Maybe OLC can work on that :hmm:
