Didn't take long...

grislyatoms · 06-28-09, 09:37 AM

for me to end up on this side of the house...

Anyway, got SH4 Gold and a couple of books (U-Boat Commander's Handbook and U-Boat Ace: The story of Wolfgang Luth ) for Father's Day.

Read the books while on patrol in the Atlantic.

Just got around to installing SH4 last night. Installer seems to be a little klunky... it choked trying to update Direct X. Updated Direct X manually, then installed the game, good to go.

Didn't get much time to play last night, basically I just got familiar with the controls and layout. Looks like a good game.

A good problem cropped up... whether to play SH3 or SH4...

That's just one of those questions like what cuisine are you in the mood for tonight? English pub grub or Japanese teriyaki?

Welcome aboard!

Ahoy...

Yeah, one thing about SH4 1.5 is the environment, fantastic graphics. I often play just to explore the map, so many places and situations...fun to take screenshots. Be sure to get a super mod and or game mods by:

Welcome Grisly!!

Thanks for the welcome, folks! Recognize a few names here (surprise, surprise).

Looking forward to swapping PTO sea stories with y'all (once I have some that is...).

yes, I sometimes sail in the PTO. Lots of good mods for sh4. Supermods, and mods in general make the game alot better.

welcome aboard, and have fun. there is a great super MOD for the U-Boat side of SH4 if youre in the mood for hunting the Brit's and American's. It's called OpMonsoon.
