What's so great?

To the gentleman complaining about the lack of graphics in SH3 comapred to the over the top "theatrics" in SH5... I'd like to point out how much fun games from the early 90's like Aces over Europe, 688I, etc were - THEY WERE GREAT!

Yes, in comparison to todays 1080p blah blah b.s. they pale in comparison but what made them great was the fact that you still HAD to use a little imagination. So they had pixels the size of thumb-prints, big deal. They were fun and engaging and you could get lost for days. Personally, I'd rather the game dev's spend more time on game play that graphics whoredom - the games would be SO much better

SH3 may not be the prettiest girl on the block... but she's got the best "personality"

To the OP, betcha can't wait for Naval Assault, Killing Tide to come out huh? Looks like so much fun, I mean, you can see on the outside of your awesome submarine. I know you can do that in SHIII, but the torpedos don't home in on anything, just make this little wake trail. How the hell does it make a wake? It's 10 feet underwater!Q!!!

[edit] [/sarcasm]

Meh, I'm a go hunt down a convoy or something.

- and many minor bugs (amongst others the old save-game bug)

No compass?

No DUK??? How can there...

Patrols end after achieving mission target? %$#@ that.
