Is the PC version worth getting?
Is the PC version of SH3 worth getting or not?
I personally like PC games better then Console ones. However I am aware that most Console versions of some games are better then their PC version counterparts.
I already have the PS2 version of SH3 but i'm interested in getting the PC version.
Oh, and are there any mods for the PC version of SH3? If so then I will get it because I LOVE mods!!!

How about we not... talk about things that are illegal when a perfectly legal option (buying the game!) is readily available for people D:
I'm aware that the only specifically stated no-no is providing links to downloads of these things, and copyrighted material, but I do think that common forum etiquette would imply that if you can't *share* links to the material, it might not be the best of ideas to promote going out and getting it, either...
Magnus: I haven't played the PC version so I can't be sure. If you look at Cloud8745's Youtube page, he has done a walk through for SH3 on the PC--I'm somewhat positive that he makes a mention of the controls while playing the game. Unfortunately he plays through the WHOLE game so I have no idea when that takes place or how long it'll take for you to find it if you go looking.

I'm not dead yet, dammit.
When I say "hacks and mods" I mean ones that are used to view textures easier, change the camera angle, walk through walls, ect. They're talked about all of the time around here.Krist. wrote:How about we not... talk about things that are illegal when a perfectly legal option (buying the game!) is readily available for people D:

I'm pretty sure he mentions it early on in the walkthrough. I just re-watched it recently and remember him saying that keyboard controls were a bit clunky.Magnus: I haven't played the PC version so I can't be sure.

I'd give you some, but I can't as I'm unsure of what's legal and what's not, if any.Magnus_the_red wrote:After some thought I might get the PC version solely for the mods/hacks. I'm not too bothered about controls.
As I said before; I love mods. Sometimes modded versions of the game are better then the original.
Any body got any links where I can find some?
Also, I'm some what suprised that some of the people on this forum other than me watch Cloud's videos.

Well, it's the only version I've played of 3, and I think it's rather good, I've had less problems with SH3's pc version than I did with 2 or 4's. Haven't had to tweak much to get it running perfectly. Although I do use a gamepad for it, as I didn't like it much with a mouse and keyboard, but the controls are configurable enough so even if you don't have a gamepad for your pc, you should be able to set up a custom configuration that'll be comfortable.

Mod and hacks are not illegal. You can do whatever you want to the game as long as you don't make any money from it.
Great! I can't wait to get my copy.Well, it's the only version I've played of 3, and I think it's rather good, I've had less problems with SH3's pc version than I did with 2 or 4's.

Well I stand corrected. Nope. Everything's peachy here--I thought you guys were talking about something else.Whoomp wrote:Mods and hacks are not illegal are they?

It's a shame SH doesn't have a larger modding community, I can't can't find any worthwhile mods/hacks.
*sigh* When I do get this game i'm gonna have to make some of my own. Mind you i've only had experience modding Total War games and i'm sure modding SH3 will be harder.
But, oh well, i'll give it a shot!

Well first tell me where you are from. If you are from America, you are out of luck because I don't think there are any American copies left.
But here is a place where you can get the European version of it;
