Is SH5 worth it, or should I stick with tried and true?

Misery 315 · 09-29-14, 05:59 PM

Hey guys, I'm a newbie as far as the Silent Hunter series and have not played SH5 yet, and after reading so many horrible reviews (which I only use as a general guide, I don't live and die by reviews) I am wondering if it is really worth the effort of buying, modding and patching what seems like a reboot of part three. I'm sure the missions are different but it just seems to me to be basically an updated remake of three. (It may not be for all I now, just saying!) Or is it if I truly like three and four and know how to mod and am pc saavy, then I'll love Silent Hunter 5 as well. I'd appreciate the feedback. Thanks.

Welcome aboard!

I'm not sure what I can say that hasn't already been said a dozen times or more. People who love the way Aces of the Deep, SH1, SH3 and SH4 works have been disappointed. People who start with SH5 have come to love it. It's not a reboot of SH3. It's nothing like SH3 at all, except for the part about the u-boats.
