Be lucky if you recieve an Radio contact about an Task Force.
big battleships are an high risk to encounter there....

Don't think I could get bored of SH3, but I have a hrad time finding the time to play.

It usually take me a week of "real" time to get to my patrol grid, I play about 3-4 times a week if possible.

Damn Job !!

Mooncatt · 06-21-06, 08:59 AM

a week of "real" time!!!!!!woooot??? u not using the increase time scale gizmo then???

Like some others I would rate SH3's replay value to be pretty high. I mean you've got the campaigns which last a long time plus you can vary it somewhat by the choice of boats/equipment you buy. Also changing the realism does give you a chance to try new skills and game play with a slightly different flavour. But without the mods, like others have said, there is just so many times one can get a kick out of seeing a merchant explode and sink. But as a casual player I still get a kick out of the game.

My biggest beef was with how little could be done in the editor. I mean making maps is fun I suppose but altering assets and importing models is difficult and selecting hex as a primary way to edit assets was a really poor choice. This I think prevented a lot of people -myself included - from delving into modding the game. I probed around the files and quickly ascertained the game was only moddable to a point. Therefore I never got this value added feature from the game. I was cheezed about that actually.

The talk about SH4 got me thinking though. I mean, I'm sure the developers have all kinds of wonderful plans to make the game the greatest in the world. But like most games I'm sure time will run out, pressure will be put on by the distributor, and once again we'll get a title that is incomplete. Frankly this is starting to piss me off. Fine, we've got modders willing to add onto the game, but will this cycle of releasing half baked titles ever cease? Personally I've made it a policy not to purchase a game right when it comes out. I'll wait until the feedback starts to appear on the forums and I'll wait until the games are patched and stable before even considering to buy them. Then I'll make sure the editor tools are there and that they are stable too, and that the game is moddable beyond just placing a few boats and one of five available triggers on a friggin' map. Developers should take a lesson from ID and Doom 3 which is truly moddable.

Sadly... yes. I´m bored with SHIII. Without WaW, my SHIII would be out of my computer quickly.

Mooncatt · 06-22-06, 04:29 AM

but although i keep dying something keeps making me come back to it time an time again

Mooncatt · 06-22-06, 04:43 AM

ok then give us some reasons why you find it boring

Mooncatt · 06-22-06, 05:07 AM

yeah true it is time consuming but thats part of the fun, if something is taking ages to do i just use the time compression, i have to admit it is one of the best games ive ever played

All the time it takes to do everything, plotting, attacking, etc.

I like IL2 because of the action!

No offence...but you're called "Brewster Pilot", you have a plane in your sig and an Airlines.net album and you are harping on about IL2? I think it's safe to assume you're more a flight-simmer then a sub-simmer? Duly noted and thanks for the input from your perspective (and the flight-simming community)!

...and no...SH3 is in no way "boring".

p.s. I think that plane in your sig is "boring"...and that's coming from somone who attends Farnborough airshow.
