ive been having fun playing a coop campaign with my friends, but i dont normally play these kind of games so i dont really have a point of comparison

i also havent been paying much attention to the story cause i jumped in a few hours after they started. was pretty neat that my new character immediately leveled up to their level and was ready to fight, very smooth experience

Incredibly jealous of anyone playing this for the first time. It obviously gets talked up a lot but it's reputation is totally deserved. I play it every few years and it still holds up beautifully.
The atmosphere goes up a notch once James starts jumping down holes. The sound design in some rooms is incredible, like one of the cell blocks having a muffled deep voice coming from an unclear source. It's specific to that room and isn't explained and played on my mind.

per the latest QCS mandate, we are required to talk about politics so let's discuss the most socialist game of all time....... Cool Spot




quote:

When Marx undertook his critique of the capitalistic mode of production, this mode was in its infancy. Marx directed his efforts in such a way as to give them prognostic value. He went back to the basic conditions underlying capitalistic production and through his presentation showed what could be expected of capitalism in the future. The result was that one could expect it not only to exploit the proletariat with increasing intensity, but ultimately to create conditions which would make it possible to abolish capitalism itself.

The transformation of the superstructure, which takes place far more slowly than that of the substructure, has taken more than half a century to manifest in all areas of culture the change in the conditions of production. Only today can it be indicated what form this has taken. Certain prognostic requirements should be met by these statements. However, theses about the art of the proletariat after its assumption of power or about the art of a classless society would have less bearing on these demands than theses about the developmental tendencies of art under present conditions of production. Their dialectic is no less noticeable in the superstructure than in the economy. It would therefore be wrong to underestimate the value of such theses as a weapon. They brush aside a number of outmoded concepts, such as creativity and genius, eternal value and mystery – concepts whose uncontrolled (and at present almost uncontrollable) application would lead to a processing of data in the Fascist sense. The concepts which are introduced into the theory of art in what follows differ from the more familiar terms in that they are completely useless for the purposes of Fascism. They are, on the other hand, useful for the formulation of revolutionary demands in the politics of art.
that's right, you, the player character, is a corporate mascot stuck in the machine. a pharmakon to the simulacra of society. as you progress through the game you attempt to free yourself from the confines of capitalism and wake up the fellow cool sheeple to the capital wool that has enraptured their souls and replaced it with consumption. you progress through worlds ravaged by capitalism and consumption freeing the masses from their shackles. upon completion, the masses decide to turn their backs on consumption and walk away, but you are sacrificed to stay in the machine as you now have nothing else to live for besides being a mascot.

SH3 is solid, it's probably the best non-SH2 game. i really loved some of the setpieces/levels like the creepy amusement park was really cool. but cult stuff was much more boring than the SH2-style of demons and manifestation. it's definitely worth trying out and playing.

SH3 had annoying crew management mechanics unless you installed the Grey Wolves mod. At least SH4 automated crew shifts out of the box.

SH4's problem, on the other hand, is that even though it has a Monsun Gruppe expansion pack, that only supports Type IX boats, so you still need to look for mods to get the full Type VII (and Atlantic) experience.

I've always wanted to get back into the Silent Hunter games, but people tell you to use some mods to iron out the bugs. Then you go to the mod site and they're all "Here's the absolute minimum 500 mods you need to use to get this game working right. And they're not compiled into a Mega Mod, you need to install one by one. Here's 300 pages of poorly written instructions on how to do that."

Nope.
