In the interview they said the game would be more open... And that we would even have surprises. I was hoping for a nice sub where I could move anywhere inside + mods that would greatly increase the interior's quality.

Why do editors keep ruining every game franchise I have loved for years ? This adds to the too long list of franchises I gave up on

This is the nail in the coffin for my purchase of SHV. I wasn't too happy about some of their other decisons, and even the dynamic campaign had some potential flaws (how much would the actions of one VII really effect the course of the entire war?).

They'll probably end up getting my £10 from the bargain bins a few years down the line, but they've got no chance of a full price purchase.

Of interest is the voting - 139 votes and only 25 say they'll buy the game anyway. Ubi appear to have lost 82% of their potential customers from a submarine simulation website. I hope their marketing guys have got a load of new customers lined up...

Lets go back and rock the SHIII Mods forum!

urfisch · 01-26-10, 05:47 PM

in the german ubi-forum also seems to roll a wave of popular outraging through the members lines. as a german ubi moderator stated, the game needs a "CONSTANT CONNECTION" to the ubi servers, as the save games are located there.

lol...nothing more to add on this fopard...

that is the question... WHO leases subgames anywhere? and i mean Lerase, cause with no connection, you do not even have the right to play.
Lets see if i cannot get my Gov't to take a look at this situation we are facing.
Might be possible to ban the product to be leased in my country. Have to speak to a lawyer first thing in the Mornin.

They try to shaft me? I will do my best to make them lose their Business.

I'm with you. SH3 has got loads of life left in it and I haven't even started looking at SH4 yet. I feel another beta coming on...

Goodbye, SH5

Adriatico · 01-26-10, 06:25 PM

I am shocked...
If Ubi could make me - as a subsimulation maniack not to buy... than who would buy it ?

piri_reis · 01-26-10, 07:00 PM

Oh man this is completely wacked, screw this new online scheme

Reece · 01-26-10, 07:07 PM

I voted for option 3,

Maybe after a few years a version will come out with DRM removed, I may purchase a copy then!

No point posting comments here anymore, will just check status of DRM/Patch situation from time to time!!

onelifecrisis · 01-26-10, 07:21 PM

I can't say it makes that much difference to me. In my experience internet connections have for some years now been more reliable than CDs or DVDs, which tend to get damaged over time no matter how hard I try to take care of them. All my recent purchases have been on Steam and I like it that way, not least of all because I don't have to put up with any StarForce (or similar) crap.

Ubisoft's solution is not ideal, and if I lose a save game I will be pretty fooked off for sure, but if people who buy the game say that it's all working fine then I'll go ahead and buy it.

These are my thoughts exactly. I was so excited when I saw they were doing another U-boat sim and then with the screens and trailors it looked fantastic. Then the news of only the Type VII, I can live with that. Then the war ends for you in '43, hmm that is odd but still not a deal breaker for me. This last one I am logged on as soon as I turn my computer on but what if I lose internet which does happen time to time? Am I unable to play until it comes back? Like a previous poster said you buy the game but don't actually own it because unless you are online you can't play. That I find disturbing. Enthusiasm level for this one is dwindling more and more with each new update.

XLjedi · 01-26-10, 07:52 PM

This is very disappointing. I hate steam and all things like it...
I guess I'm gonna just have to shift my attention elsewhere.

I will NOT purchase SH5 until I hear the DRM is gone.

longam · 01-26-10, 08:02 PM

I'll buy that for....

You're bad.

So it is currently 84% - no SHV Thanks... Congratulations Ubi marketing!

Could you imagine the reaction of wide gaming community, if this is Subsim pole?
