Ok, so I don't have the hours and hours invested in SHIII or SHIV but from my early experience in this game it's a good game. I've noticed several flaws, things that bug me but I don't let it ruin the experience. I'm sure with future patches and user modifications this will mature into a much better game than the former you all compare it against.
The DRM? Yes, if you don't have internet or if you have a poor connection that's a pity. There's the big brother thing, what happens if they decide to no longer host the DRM server? Is the game useless? Aside from that there are benefits.... they can potentially collect data to IMPROVE how we use the game, where the bugs are, etc.
So anyways... I am only just starting a campaign but I think so far the game is good. The whining on these forums reminds me of each time a new WWII Flight Simulator was released... everyone would get pent up expecting their dream game and then right after release there would be this mass disappointment. This is wrong, that's wrong, the Flight Models are wrong blah blah blah...
I hesitated on buying this game because of all the whining, but eventually I bought it. Now I intend to play it. I have SHIII and SHIV but I'd much rather play a "new" game rather than something dated. That's just me, I have a kick ass computer and I want to use it. Speaking of which I have no problems running this game, settings maxed out.
