Well, the DRM does suck :). The poll set up by McBeck shows that 65% would buy the game if the DRM were removed and fairs fair - you can't be expected to buy a game that you can't play. What is annoying though is the people who come in here on the pre-text of 'checking for updates' and end up posting about how they'd never buy SH5, even if it was the best game ever. I suspect there are a few people out there walking about without noses. There aren't really a lot of them though it's just a handful that post the same stuff over and over again. As to why the don't do it in the SH3 forum, probably because they wouldn't get the same reaction. Also, it would be completely off topic!

Oh CRAP!
:o
Now I have to worry about people playing SH3 on phones hitting me
while I'm out rideing my Triumph!
:nope:
:haha:

To bad Neal can't afford 3 websites. :haha:

I guess I know now why UBISOFT has separate sites for each.


Oh, I almost forgot it's been already posted here those sites are going down the toilet. :O:

That would be:

Toilette!

Just so they understand.

That's because UBI creates the problems that Subsim members later have to fix!:yep:

Then everyone would be here bitchin' about how long it's taking...same outcome, just a different subject... :haha:

Very-well..
 

indispensable, :yep:

Yeah, but those bitching about nothing more than time and delay are easily recognizable as kids, and I wouldn't bother about such topics. Easier to dismiss than criticism of the game quality and features.

After buying computer games for about 20 years, I am used to postponed and delayed releases. I actually don't buy games anymore before they hit the market and I follow forums for a couple of weeks and up to many months to see how good and novel a game really is -- until I really recognize the quality. Like with each new product, the ones who buy it first are unfortunately the ones helping to fix the initial problems, be it software or an iPad. Poor fella's that preordered SHV.

The patching thing is a new issue sind high-throughput internet is available, and delays due to that as well. Before that age simply game quality was much better, and companies couldn't afford sending people 3 new sets of disks or CD's per mail as "free patches" -- the gold version had to be in a much better state than games are released today. But again, I have all time to wait for proper patching, if in the end what I get is best quality. Too bad that it wasn't such at release, but after all that is not my loss but that of game companies. Their early release strategy has been their sinking sales numbers for for a couple of years now, and they really need to fix that.

Same here m8... I let the dust come down and rather than be in an overnight queue like some fan-idiots do to become the 1st to get the "game" and then jump on guns saying how frustrated they are coz of bugs or coz of missing stuff, etc.

Anyway, I'm one of those 65% that I'll wait till SH5 gets DRM free to buy it or when SH5 with DRM reaches £1.99 (on 75% price discount lists) then for that price I wouldn't be that bothered to waste if DRM allows me to play or not - and at least will have a bunch of patches on top of it for a give-away price sale.
