Current State of SHV

finchOU · 10-30-10, 05:00 PM

Hi all...have not bought the game ...tho its still on the shelf at stores. My old PC (2003 HP)..finally crashed and i'm thinking of buying a PC suitable for SHV (but this would be my only reason for buying a PC...cause my new laptop does just fine. I'm a Vetern of Aces of the deep...SH2 and 3. I didnt buy SHV because I like the Uboats....and i didnt or havent bought SHV due to Ubi's inablitiy to impress me (minus graphics). I've been snooping around looking for major mods (all la NYGM or Gray Wolves for SH3) that could "fix" some of the things that peeps on this sited wanted with the release but havent found it. Soooo..my question is...what is the current state of the game with mods...and is it comparable to SH3..or better...worse? Is this just SH3 with a makeover for graphics? I've got alot of negative vives reading around...what would you do in my position? I could go out tomorrow and get the game and computer...but was a little taken back after reading the posts after the release.

Your asking the million dollar question here.

I believe SHV is worth buying considering the mods that have thus far been developed but would never promote the idea of purchasing a new system simply for a new game release.

The decision/choice is obviously yours.

Now that TheDarkWraith is going to release a megamod , why not . BTW his AI and UI are mind blowingly good .

TDW and company mods with SH5 will just blow you away....

I love all the modders, past and present. Still, I do also consider The Dark Wraith a front-runner in the modder category of the 2010 Best of SubSim awards. He will have my nomination and vote.
