The game I find to be boring and unstable. Wonderful graphics, even voice control, but I don't want to spend hours looking at trees and buildings as I drive my boat to get to a patrol area where nothing is likely to happen anyway. Start the missions in the patrol areas
I know it is realistic, I was a diesel boat submariner for years, but I can be bored in life without paying for it. What I would like from my game is some interest, even excitement. If you want hard cold realism join the Navy and let me have my vicarious pleasure. I still play SH1 thanks to the instructions on how to run it on XP.

Sounds like this has received a full salvo!

I find sad people who are supposedly bored with this game, yet hang around on the forums.

If you're bored with SH3 and you're here...you're a saddo and should get a life. No 2 ways about it.

He's right though. Why continue to post on a forum about a game that you're bored with? It's like me getting fed up with coloured pencils yet still posting on we_love_coloured_pencils.com.

Playing the game and forumming are two different things. It's not unusual to find people who don't play the game anymore still participating in the forums. They still like to talk about the game and OMG they may actually like the people in the forums too.

Also you won't find too many rabid fan boys here, who will flame you and otherwise threaten your life since you've insulted their precious game. They'll forgive you for insulting their wives, girlfriends and/or mothers but they won't stand for insults directed at "their" games. The maturity and sensibility that's commonplace around here is one big reason I like to post here. We don't expect everyone to like the game and it doesn't spoil our enjoyment of it one bit. You're still welcome here as are your opinions.

You're quite right. I apologise

Tbarak is right. He might be looking something else hanging around the forums.

Besides, for me, I also hang around here to increased the taste i get from the game while i play it, sharing experiences of others and learn a lot more. It keeps my interest to SH3 as i learn more and more both gaming and reality.

Lots of reality is spoken here, history and such. I love to read forums not that i bored of SH3 but to learn.

Mooncatt · 06-22-06, 10:21 AM

yeah me too i have been playing sh3 for ages but there is loads of stuff i didnt know i.e didnt think i could go slower than 3knts only stop

HunterICX · 06-22-06, 12:04 PM

^LoL, I found that out really quik...on my first patrol I just pressed everything I got...and ofcourse the outcome wasnt always good when I learned how to play:

2x Slammed myself in to the harbour (Set the Plotted course directly to the grid...didnt know I had to draw a whole course on the map.)
1x Slammed myself on the ocean bottom...I thought the AI was smart enough to stop the sub before it would slam the ocean floor)
1x Snapped the U Boat...How did I supose to know there was an Depth limit for each U boat

.
1x shooting an Starshell when it was dark while I still didnt figured out that it was

Khayman · 06-22-06, 12:18 PM

I was heading out of Lorient once and I accidentally pressed the increase time compression instead of decrease. I frantically got back into normal time and I was just about to run aground. I had to put the engines back emergency...still in full view of all the ships and well wishers.

lmao :rotfl: i thought i was bad, i take it u didnt read through the manual then!!

MENTAT · 06-22-06, 01:35 PM

manual??? You can spend time to manuals??? Who has a luxury like that?

We used to push every key on the keyboard, every icon on the screen for the first time of a brand new game, Anyways its an old habit and seems not been used anymore

New generation reads manuals, as they aint have enough lecture books already!

Mooncatt · 06-22-06, 01:59 PM

the only time i read them is when i cant work out how to do summat other than that i tend not to bother, i tried doing the same for DW but even by reading the manual for that i still cant play the game so i removed it from pc after a whole 3 days lol
