Is SH5 worth playing over SH3 yet? - Page 3

Frank0001 · 08-01-11, 06:49 PM

So far SH5 hasn't been worth the time, for me.
I've been running all useful mods I could find and it still doesn't do anything for me. It's just not as exciting as SH3 was, when I sink a ship it's '....yay.......NEXT', put the TC on +5000 and off we go.

It's just a shame that this game needs that much modding to be playable (hurray for modders though, you rule!)

Above would be the case IF SH5 would've worked correctly at all and not CTD every 5 minutes or so

interesting feedback. nice to see, many are still fighting for sh5, even all sim-fans must admit, that sh3 has the "better" simfeeling.

anyway.

overall one point is important, pditty. sh5 is totally different game concept. one famous u-boat type, you are the captain, you decide what to do. your officers have rpg-elements and you can earn special abilities. the gameplay is split into different decades, which have different briefings and missions. to me it feels like a film you play, with some individual flavor.

if you like it more or not, just decide it on your own. but sh5 does not have many things sh3 had and has. if this is good or bad is part of your personal opinion. in general one can say, sh3 gives you more possibilities and sh5 has much more nice looking graphics.

its obvious. the main positive development of sh5 compared to sh3 is the graphics and a better gui. gameplay differs totally. so i guess, as a fan of sh3 you wont like sh5 very much. but try it, if you like. tdw and other modders did a lot of work (better ai, nice looking guis, more crew, graphics polishment, etc.) to sh5 and with its nice "open horizont mod" you can play the whole war now. so its good looking and a patrol is not that bad, as the new mods and the eye candy have its charme. but for me that was never enough. so its been a few starts, but no finished patrol so far.

just my2cents.

I've tried SH5 and it didn't work for me...in fact i ended up thinking "Ubisoft should somehow be held accountable for releasing such a buggy piece of crap....I bet on a world level thousands of people have brought this and been thoroughly dissapointed with it...It's ok saying "then download these mods and see if they help" but truth is....you shouldn't need to do that!...The software industry is still the land of gangsters and crooks...We need some encompassing legislature that'll give protection to the consumer....I can't even get my money back at the shop where i brougfht SH5..they are uninterested that it's a jungle of bugs and unplayable out of the box....This is wrong..!!

Sure there's a thousand different computer configurations and making something that'll work on every machine is always gonna be tough...but even still.....software shouldn't be this BAD!..

A lot of people have offered the advice "buy it and see if it's something for you".....I disagree with this advice...The moment you have brought it you've put money into ubisofts account...Why should they be rewarded for releasing such a badly written piece of software....I'd say "save your money and let ubisofts dwindling income be a wake up call for them..if you release a poor product you pay by losing that business"

You were the 'Monkey on the back' first Skippy!
What are you going to do?
Beat me up?

And what did YOU DO?
Edited the original post from a simple Z to Zedi.
That is TROLL at work in a very simple form!
I'm amazed Steve did not spot that bit of work!

Now cry me a river about how I pick on you mate!
(I used a small 'm' to show what respect I feel towards your small tricks)

Word?
What are we trying to replicate here?
Stupid street gangsta stuff?

Here's a 'word' for ya!
Moron!

Now send a PM to Neal or the Mods that I insulted you.
I'll get a few more dings added to my already bad record for insulting Morons.
Heck! You might get me keel hauled again!
In which case I'll just laugh my arse off!!

I stopped careing long ago because of Morons like you!
Those of us that have spent YEARS working on SH stuff
don't owe you a DAMNED thing!
Lest of all any kind of respect with your additude.

WORD!

As for me, its a great game, but i am a history/realism nut, so there a quite a few areas I wish i could fix myself but have not the skills to ammend them.

Friggin thing looks sweeeeet and some of the mods are sexy as hell.

SH5 will kick SH3's ass in a few years of that I am sure. Progress is being made daily, and seeing new milestones getting hit is worth the price of admission. This is a niche market to say the least, if anything, be glad we at least have something to work with and improve.

Very well said.

I'm sure it will too. For me that day will be when I can run other types of u-boats.

I am. Glad that is. I'm glad there are all these different choices.

Not from me. I think there's room for all, just as there's room for improvement in all.

opinions are like arseholes everybodys got one an everybodys entitled one..lets keep our toys in the pram though guys...the SH sims are good sims you must all agree on that an we all know its getting better all the time..the mods out there are a good thing to wait for..if the sims were perfect on day one,.well we probabley wouldnt have this community as good as it is....an we would have bugger all to moan about..lol.lol

mobucks · 08-07-11, 11:18 AM

well zedi is gone, hope your happy; you win the internet.

Sad day for our modding community.

08-12-11, 07:12 PM

His leaveing had nothing to do with me.
As for 'Winning the InterNet'?

Maybe time connected to it gives me a better overall view (and access) of it then most people have.
Or maybe haveing been the owner of the first InterNet Service in My area that I sold access to others way back in the mid '90's does that.

I really don't much care one way or another.
But if one throws BS around?
They will tend to smell like BS.
And if they then whine about smelling like it?
Meh!!

zzsteven · 08-13-11, 07:40 PM

Thanks Steve and Urfisch,

Guess I'll go look at SH4.
