SH4 worth it?

Sailor Steve · 08-24-09, 02:07 PM

I've been playing U-boats with SH4 and Operation Monsun for some time now. Immersion-wise, SH3 with GWX gives more feel to the harbors and such, and adds more, and has had a lot more development time. That said, SH4 is much more stable, gives really cool latitude and longitude coordinates on the map, and the U-boat add-on gives KM grid squares right down to the fourth digit! I'm having a great time alternating between playing both.

Yes, there is still a long way to go (and it may never get there for u-boats, with SH5 on the horizon), but SH4 is definitely worth the money for the way the crew management works, and for the way it looks inside when you order Battle Stations. Loads of fun.

Welcome aboard, lad...

If you enjoy the Pacific War install sh4 + patch 1.4...and install the follow mods: Trigger Maru Overhaul and RUIM_v1.0_for_SH4v1.4_HI-S mod with JSGME Enabler and you will be all right!

You can always send me your postal address via PM and I'll mail you my copy.

I played it for about a few months then took it off my computer and haven't touched it since.

I finally bit the bullet yesterday and ordered SH4 off of e-bay. I don't know if I'll get around to playing it anytime soon. I'm currently immersed in SH3(although I'm taking a short hiatus from it) and I want to see the war thru to the end. At that point I'll probably start SH4. But, you never know though.
Of course, by then SH5 will be out and I'll be wanting that too.

The short answer is NO, but ask yourself that - will sh4 worth it after gwx4 hits the web - hell yeah !

If so may get the game while it is still cheap in Tesco.

GWX4 will only work with SH4. It's being developed specifically for that platform. Won't work with SH3 at all.

GWX or no GWX, SH4 is worth it at least until 5 comes out.
