Things you like or don't like about SH4

(continued since 12 image limit, grrr)

Particle Sprays will enamanate from the limber holes in your boats; I guess this is to simulate cascading water off your hull. But it just looks bad.

Why, I didn't know that the US used Lancasters as long range bombers and search planes in WW2!

Also, I didn't know that the US used metric to measure distances and depths in WW2!

The flickering light problem is also present in this. Guess they didn't fix it.

I think the interior sounds are bad, and the water sprays comming from the submarines don't look good at all.

Explosions and effects I think is good.

So basically we can all agree it's another game which is barely more than half finished in both the literal and figurative sense. Wonderful.

bow shots dont seem to work at all, 2 in the bow of a japanese destoryer... not visable damage, no flooding, nothing... happened to me multiple times on bow shots so far, have not killed anything or damaged anything by hitin the bow

its becoming the norm with PC games anymore.

yep only company it hasnt been in my experiance in star docks games. Man they know how to make a finished product with a limited budget and devs. And they read forums and use customer input to add new features to thier games. (IE GAL CIV2) i know am a fan boy of them , but i cant help it.

Used to be like that with Sports Interactive, who made the old Championship Manager and the current Football Manager games. But the last 5 years they've started to nosedive further and further.

In fact the only games I've bought in the last few years that didn't need major patching were the Dawn of War games, and Company of Heroes - both by Relic. And Full Spectrum Warrior (the original, not the rubbish sequel).

Two developed by Relic, and all 3 published by THQ. There's a lesson in there I think :hmm:

corvette k225 · 03-24-07, 09:36 AM

I payed $49.95 for this game, there is just to many thing wrong with this game,some one should have done the home work on this one! I will go back and
play SHIII+GWX what a game! as for my $49.95 will that will help the Develpment team out, so we can get a SH V I hope they go back to the U-Boat game, the best type the North Atlantic side of the War.

Der Graf Von Rudklide · 03-24-07, 10:05 AM

Its great - Thanx to the makers

I know what i talk about, ive been playing Silent Hunter ever since the first came around on the old Commandore C64.

Thus minor faults and mistakes who will be fixed is SH4 the most superb U-boat simulator ever seen on a PC. It will offer 100 of hours of intense gameplay for booth the unexperinced and the experts in subwar just like SH3 did and still does. I do play SH3 GWX often and iam sure they will bring up as great work around SH4 as they have done on SH3.

Its wekkend and most people have thier SH4, i am off in the pacific 2 and it really rocks for an old navy guy like me - Thums up for SH4 its a must have for any subfan

Hartmann · 03-24-07, 10:25 AM

Too many bad things , i think that the game was released unfinished and it need a lot of patches , and perhaps some things can remain unfixed.

The game have a lot of potencial but the bugs have to be fixed by dev team . no by modders .
later could be impossible for modders without code or sdk tools.

mookiemookie · 03-24-07, 11:23 AM

I think its funny that a lot of people compare stock SH4 to SH3 with GWX.

At least make an apples to apples comparison and line it up against vanilla SH3...or even vanilla SH3 with the first patch. I think you'll find it's not as doom and gloom as you think it is.
