As I recall SH3 wasn't that much better when it was released
That the modifications it has underwent has totally transformed it into a mega game, I gotta agree

allow me to revise my statement...

after playing vanilla SH2 for ages and ages and thinking it was a pretty cool game

i loaded stock SH3 on the day of release and it was AWESOME compared to what i was used to.

i cannot say that stock SH4 had the same "wow" effect on me when compared to what i am now used to.

as a player who enjoys a strong basis in realism and immersion, i have developed a need for many compartments in the sub, working stations, and a somewhat interactive crew that does more than just look at me funny.

I know SH3 had issues when it was first released, but when it was compared to the subsims i had grown accustomed to playing it was nothing short of revolutionary.

while SH4 was just a new coat of paint on the same old subsim... it would be as if SH3 were just a remake of SH2 with higher resolution or a clearer picture.

does that make better sense?

Both your posts make sense mate
I'm not disagreeing with you
I think SH4 had a harder act to follow in SH3 (modded) than that which SH3 followed (SH2).
On a personal note I'm bitterly dissapointed with the quality of SH4....I pre ordered it despite my connection with GWX

Indeed. But it still got patched up. Maybe UBI is pissed of to the guys on the SHIV forums who cryied the 3 first weeks constantly how the game sucks that they decided to cut the support. :hmm:

IN YOUR FACE!! HAAAHAAAA!!!

I can really relate to this post, SH3 is like a nice peaceful holiday in the carribean compared to the stress of SH4. I have to say, I don't feel the same about SH4 as SH3 apart from the graphics!
I like to come over to this forum to chill out after asking someone why I don't have a watch officer on my American boat!
