How about you go **** yourself.

I will not buy it until there's a patch that removes DRM.
And if SH5 is a sale's disaster and ends the Silent Hunter series I don't care. I got SH3 for Uboats, SH4 for US side. Future machines will let us run XP inside other operating systems so I have all that I need to have fun.

Ubisoft you can suck my Razer Mouse.

Well Its with a very heavy heart, That I have to say, I have also cancelled my Pre Order. I know that im only kicking myself, But as I dont use my Gaming PC online, Im Sunk.

Back to SH3 and GWX

My internet conection is very poor I get disconected often somtimes for days so I canot see me buying it.
I have enjoyed playing sh3 and sh4 even got a newer pc for it instead of a ps3 to my grand kids dismay as there is no simulation games on the ps3 .
Hope to keep playing and enjoy subsim forum for years to come.

Hey, BBW! Long time no see.

Right, this will encourage piracy. Buy if from some skunk, but save hassles.

UBI should study the Law of Unintended Results.

Is this year considered soon?

Forced to go online to play a game that you bought...

Fail

How does UBI manage to do this?

To turn me from stallward defender of the SH franchise and development of SH5, to join the ranks of unwashed protesters?

It's easy. Just make the game user unfriendly. Ruin my plans for having the game installed on a dedicated computer which seldom goes online to pick up garbage and viruses.

I can see of going through the hassle of registering once, but not every bloody day.

This encourages me to do the unspeakable in this forum. UBI is shooting itself in the foot.

I can always go back to my happy times with SH3 and GWX

V.C. Sniper · 01-26-10, 05:15 PM

no difference

SteveW1 · 01-26-10, 05:17 PM

I think i'll just stick with SH3 and GWX

There comes a point where the Publisher just doesn't deserve the support any more. I'm there.

Nah. Space suits are ventilated and they wear diappers inside (seriously, they do)
