SH3 GWX vs SH4 Etc.. Why?

johan_d · 01-28-10, 04:04 PM

Now with the new Sh5 on the corner, I got my hands on SH4 and teh UBOAT addon, and downloaded Monsun and some other addons, like the speech fixes and so on..

Why is it I cannot get into SH4? it looks euh.. plastic.. why is SH3 looking so much better, the riding on the waves and with GWX3 its a 'perfect' combo.

I cant grow into Sh4.. and am afraid for SH5 to be the same.

Sh3 has something sinister, something strange.. if one turn his monitor to B&W its like an old movie!

Any thoughts why ?

because the boats in SH4 looks like giand plastic toys, and secondly the crew looks like toy soliders too. and the interface is to hard to decipher all the time.

It is a matter of preference. I have SH4 but my preference is GWX and I have four seperate installs of the super mods.

SH3

SH4

SH 5

I hope!
Knights

I hope!

I like them both, prefer SH4 as a better platform with better play for the most part, but needing the full supermod treatment with the graphics candy as well as gameplay already provided. That said, I won't abandon SH3 as long as SH4 doesn't have the GWX/WAC style and no SH4 Commander.

Happily running a career in each. They both bring something different to the table.
I don't play favorites, love each one for what it has to offer me.

I happen to like them both, but I've always thought that SH4 would be a lot better if there were an SH4 Commander.

I love SHIII, I installed SHIV over a half dozen times, tried very hard to like it, but I don't, the main 3 problems I can't get around is:
1) The sea, too much like jello, some improvements made but still don't like, especially in the morning/evening, too black!
2) The U-boat buoyancy, in rough weather the boat almost flies!
3) The crew in rough seas keeps appearing/disappearing!
This is what shows in the navigation academy, let alone the campaign, I was hoping for GWX4 but didn't come since SHV was so close, now that that is a flop especially with the DRM for SP mode, I kinda hope the GWX team might have another go!

As always my opinion only!

well i started off learning sh4 and love it, so I went out and bought sh3 on a whim due in part to all of the chatter about it. I've got both versions modded to the hilt but as it stands right now, the win goes to sh4. Just my opinion AND I have spent a few hundred hours in sh4 vs about 20 in sh3. BOTH are good!
