Expert opinion on SH4

Stealhead · 06-14-09, 04:00 PM

Id would say that diffrence is very much a personal view. I dont have much trouble going from one "GUI"/control scheme to another one once I learn a system I am good with it.I have not played SH3 in some time but its control scheme was mine at the same time i feel fine with SH4s scheme once you get in your head how one goes its fine so long as the given games controls are set up in logocial fasion which I fell that they are in the case of SH3 and 4.

I have both games... played SH3 (GWX 3 modded) while waiting on my new system to arrive (not being able to run SH4 was the final straw)... and found the game quite enjoyable and fairly easy to play (still wanna go back and do a career in it).

But since my system got here (finally) I have not been able to pry myself away from the graphics (as you mentioned - superb photorealism) and gameplay of SH4 and the RFB + RSRD mod. I am rambling here... but my point is that SH4 is a sweetheart of a game... and I would absolutely encourage anyone to try it. Do not listen to others... try it for yourself.

It's an opinion. SH4's graphics are just so much better and realistic and that means a lot to me. IMO if you adjust with the correct mods SH4 is the better game. Doe's lack the drama feel of SH3, being the underdog had it's points. Both are great, I get bored with one, I switch to the other. Sometimes I think it's what you play first.

Yeah! Personally I agree with the feeling of 'drama' in SH3. My parents were here today. LOL! I wowed them with SH3 and they were pretty impressed with the graphics. I was showcasing the bismark mission....probably my favourite mission of all sims that i have played so far. its sooo fantastic in immersion.

I think there is that mystique about the german U-boats in the world war period that is unmatched by any other theatre of war in the navy. Its just amazing to experience of the hunter becoming the hunted. And yeah...i can understand if this is missing from SH4 due to the campaign scenario.

LOL! In a perfect world, the engine would be switchable and if we can only get all those sweet eyecandy, the rescue missions which I read about in SH3. That would just be awsome.
