Why is almost everybody talking about shiv???

My taste is still sh3 + GWX + all other mods is much much much
better than shiv.

When i look at the shv mods there are some mods deported from shiv.
Okay i am glad with it. But i do miss for example the great olc gui etc.
Where are all sh3 mod makers for sh5 ?

I think the modders will turn up for SH5, and in fact there are already some excellent small mods making redundant some of the worse in-your-face problems with SH5. Its also only been released for a couple weeks and those mega mods will take months to build.

My hunch is that this game will be heavily modded simply because it has a beautiful graphics engine as a platform. SH4 was not that much better than SH3 in graphics. IMO SH5 is a quantum leap in the graphics department.





Have a little patience :-)

Scared off by the stupid DRM scheme.

its quite sad dont you think that the games have to be improved dramatically by the generous help of modders! i agree SH4 was a bag of nails before the modders got their claws into it and made it awesome, i cant say anything about SH3 as i never played it, but i have not heard many people complain about it.

who knows, maybe i am being too critical i can accept that, but if it takes modders to turn this into a half decent sim then its a waste of money, get rid of the anti-pirate thingy, sell it for half the price it is and let the modders do the rest.

for me this one will go back in the drawer until i see some better add-on's or mods
kind regards

Dear all,
After playing SH5 i can safely say i have never been so dissapointed in all my life! when i played SH4 i was a kid in a candy store, the gameplay was magical, i felt immersed in the sim. it was great just to stand on the bridge and watch the waves go by.

when i turn to SH5 what do we get? one boat! and the major difference i can tell from SH5 to 4 is the great ripple view from the water on the camera lense!

when you look at the MODS people have done for SH4 it surpases SH5 10000 to 1. the ability to walk through a cabin and ask someone how his wife and kids are is not a huge step up in quality. I am shocked, saddened and dissapointed with this sim. im sure i am not alone in this frustration but if there are people who are deciding to buy this sim, my honest answer would be get SH4 plus uboat missions, install op Monsun and its better than you will ever get with SH5.

the whole internet connection thing is a whole nother matter which i wont go into because its a waste of breath and finger typing.

thanks for reading
regards

Wow, and here I was thinking opinions on games were subjective and that one person couldn't speak for everyone.

I tried several times to get into SH4 and just couldn't. I think a large part of it was that I'm not really that interested in the Pacific Ocean T.O., but the UI was also obstructive in my eyes and I never got more than a few days or weeks into the single-player campaign.

so, I'm reading all this stuff about the copy protection and I'm reading about the bugs which were to be expected

come on, you can't seriously expect a bug-free SH5, not after having seen the previous releases, and look what SH3/GWX/OLC's stuff now is. it's epic!
i have it running in the background right now, as a matter of fact. I'm happy to put the watch officer back onto the bridge every single time i surface. happy because apart from that, it's just right in every way i want it to be.

SH4 keeps pissing me off because of all the little things that don't work the way I want them to work. that's not saying it's broken, that's saying it isnt the game i want to play. even UBM and lurker's Opmon, which put me back in the atlantic under the pretty SH4 engine (yay!) don't float my boat because it's simply not the way i want it to be.

a lot of that is because SH3 determined my standards, so while a modded SH4 has loads and loads of excellent and realistic features, more so than SH3, it's still nowhere near as much fun. it's a matter of taste, you see

so now, after reading all sorts of crap about SH5, but also after watching stabiz' vids on youtube ....
