We can sail to New York, so.... - Page 2

I dare you to keep that attitude up when the screenshots and patrol reports start flooding in

You can sail pretty much where-ever you want, but no, far from all landmarks and cities are modelled. In fact, only a very, very few are, and the cities that are in the game are often inaccurate shape-wise.

Trying to model the whole planet as it looked in 1941 would be a vast bankrupting project unto itself.

That's why they let modders do it for free

Your probably right Boris. But I'd feel a whole paying $175.00 U.S. for a plastic ink pen. a few post cards and a tin can.

The better rec manual,
maps and the other game play goods should be in all games and I would
gladly pay $75.00 to buy in US. I payed $30.00 for SH3 when it was first realeased and 4 months later my same local game store sold me another
copy for $20.00 and said the 1/4 inch of dust was free of charge.

That pen is METAL... get it right!

Worth every cent!!!

But seriously, if I lived in the US, I'd forego the deleuxe edition too.

OK OK :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: If a disgruntled Ubi dev member runs
off and blasts the internet with the sdk of SH3 and the great dev teams and modders of this site get hold of it they'll produce SH5 before UBI
can.

p.s. your right.... about 1 cent

No complaints at all?

Gimme a break.

Would you like to see a list of the "HOW COME I AM SAILING ALONG AT 1024X AND I GET THE MESSAGE THAT MY BOAT WAS SUNK BEFORE THE STUPID CREW ALERTED ME?" posts?

You would have had the same complaints about people sailing into land, lighthouses, islands, whaves, etc.

People complain about everything! No matter what the developers did someone would complain.

The Deluxe Edition is about $97.00 USD (£49.99). Sure the shipping is expensive, though I believe it includes about a 17.5% VAT charge. Even so, that gets you to about $146.00 USD.

The package is a good deal for Europeans who get free shipping, albeit, not as good if you want it shipped outside of Europe.

IIRC it was slowed down to 1x 2x...in GWX it is about 4x...

4x-8x would be fine if you ask me. Also if your running at 1024x it could drop back to 1x and allow you to crank it up to 4x-8x. In some cases I dont like it dropping back to 8x (like when a contact is spotted, I would prefer 1x)
