Play SH3 majority of the time
Well I would

Take a fleet boat out for the odd patrol when feel the need for a change

Graphics dont really bother me
Tis the gameplay am interested in

yankee-V · 11-12-07, 03:21 PM

Nope. Not playing SHIV right now for that matter, haven't played it in a couple months. If 1.4 arrives soon that might change things.

bookworm_020 · 12-06-07, 05:52 PM

I've put it on hold untill GWX 2.0 comes out (Soon!

) and then I'll get back into it. I've been reading the manual and it looks good!

kiwi_2005 · 12-06-07, 07:58 PM

Well my aim was to install SH3 (i delete it couple months back) DL GWX 2.0 to see how great they say over there its going to be

. If the graphics are the same with maybe extra clouds and artists impressions of a realistic Uboat where the AI now will be that great with AWESOMENESS that they will detect you 100miles away well enough said. But anyways I want to try it out cause i did like GWX 1.3. Problem is SH3 will no longer load up. Clean install, on a formatted HD running Vista, and game ran fine on vista last time i had it on, patched to 1.4b, Starforce vista patch installed, vista drivers update meaning graphic card. PC spec: 3200, 2gigs of ram, 7800gtx.

Everytime i load SH3 it CTD with no errors. Have deleted, reinstall 3 times!, even went as far as creating a image as the dvd has a few scratches and installed from that, yep made sure all folders and registry is deleted before reinstalling. Nothing seems to work. SH4 runs like a dream and i know why, cause theres no Starforce protection!!! thats why!!!

. I now am super paraniod and totally convinced its the Starforce protection.

Unless some micrale happens no SH3/GWX2 for me.

Last resort just leave it on, when GWX2 is out dL and install and see if SH3 will load.

EDIT: i just notice this is an old thread and iver already answered in it! lol Damn i hate it when that happens. Anyway hopefully some Vista user might solve my problem

Hmm it's no longer broken and we have a lot of great addons for SH4 too.

It is still broken, I wish I could find out what causes the repeating orders bug, its driving me nuts!!

von Kinderei · 12-21-07, 10:42 PM

Yes I still play SH III and with the new GWX 2.0 ... it'll be my main sub title

It seems alot more immersive to me and thats what I enjoy ... don't get me wrong I "like" SH 4 but SH III is a "love" affair

Nokia · 12-23-07, 01:48 PM

Yup, still playing SH3. SH4 was bit of a dissapointment for me. Sure, the graphics are great but it somehow doesn't feel the same as SH3. It takes way too long to get from port to the patrol area and then back and nothing can beat the thrill of beeing at 250+ meters while awoiding depthcharges. And now with GWX2.0 SH3 is better than ever! But when the U-boot addon comes I'll probably play SH3 50% of the time I play subsims and SH4 the other 50%.

Tobus · 12-27-07, 05:34 AM

I still play SH3, now with the excellent GWX2. To me, the two games are completely different in atmosphere and playability. I'm no graphics junkie: I like the new SH4 graphics, but if I had to choose I would choose SH3 over SH4 for its playability and appeal.

rik007 · 12-27-07, 01:42 PM

I'm glad we are in a situation that we can choose between the Atlantic and the Pacific. I was always fascinated by the battle of the Atlantic so I think i'm biased.

the_belgian · 12-28-07, 03:50 AM

I sometimes jump into one of those Jerry subs if i feel like it.Mostly when i feel the need to be hunted down by some DD's

Elder-Pirate · 12-30-07, 12:32 PM

Can a plastic DVD rust?

If it could then my copy of SH3 will be very yellowish and disintegrated by the time it ever gets replaced back on my hard drive, actually I won't live that long to worry about it.

In fact I feel the same way ole "Karl" feels about it.

Long live SH4 !!

Reece, maybe GWX 2.0 is the way out!

HEMISENT · 12-30-07, 04:48 PM

SH3 Rocks! Active in WAW3 and enjoying every minute of it. Now with GWX 2.0 and a host of other mods it's a whole new ballgame.
I just re installed SH4 only out of boredom for the holidays and although I am getting a bit used to it I can't see it ever replacing SH3.

Front Runner · 12-31-07, 05:47 PM

When playing as a U-Boat commander vs a US Sub Commander. It is the other side of the coin.
I too am looking forward to the Atlantic Sharks U-Boat campaign for SH4 and the upcoming UBI add-on.

SH3 is still a very fine subsim and SH4 is maturing nicely and has become an excellent subsim platform.
