Exactly what I said, the only things what I want from developer and publisher for that not too cheap price for a PC game in our days are a legal copy I can easily install withough concern if it is readable and compatible with my current hardware and won't bring me read error due to compatibility issues caused by copyprotection system in about 5 years making to seak for cracked version, then quality game with good immersion and little features cut off due to budget reduction that i would like to keep in my collection to replay again and again, support for removing bugs and improvements, and lot of additional content (paid addons are OK since game worth playing) not like it was SH3 with which was abandoned with many unfinished features. Why not to sell more units, objects and features to popular games? What I defenetely don't need are on-line accounts, check-ins or on-line connection for singleplayer game. At least PC is not only a communication device but my private space and storage as well that I would like to keep save from various on-line dangers.

Like someone else already said: You will be in the middle of a stalking-attack and right before you shoot an ad for a soda will pop up!

Or even worse, an ad for other UBI game titles!!:03:

:timeout:

I voted "Ill wait".. but i will actually do the right thing and not buy this title at all with this intrusive way of doing things.

Im not having Ubisoft's dirty software infecting my brand new EUR2000 pc.. besides, loads of great games coming out this year. Cant wait. :up:

$ 15.800 already!

Very true, only a 17% is going to buy the game like this. Wonder if there would have been a SH5 at all, if SH4 had gotten only 17% of its actual sales?

Wake up UBI, do you really think there will be people willing to buy it just because they can't use a pirated version (Which will eventually appear sooner or later)? No way. Subsims are not like many other games, they have a more mature public with money available and a long term interest on this. And when the majority of that public walks away, then the business is dead.

Not dead but left behind. Until someone with common sense takes the oportunity to pick it up from where it was left and do the things the proper way.
I will be more than happy to see silent hunter game made as it was supposed to be when it was realeased instead of patching it for a year and reling on moders to make it appealing.

As for the poll, well it speaks clearly on itself.I hope the ones at the top of ubi (few months from now) wake up and do the right thing, that is give the devs enough time to make a quality product.

Purchase? After this connect-to-internet-all-the-time-or-piss-off? PURCHASE??

:haha:

:har:

Maybe they're doing this because Ubi is in France and secretly hates seeing u-boats leaving from French ports.....

:D

May be then they should limit the game to mid spring '40. Just cut as much as you already did from the war.

Ha, a little unkind.

I don't really mind it stopping mid-43 as their reasoning about the battle being lost is quite correct.

I can equally understand others aren't happy; comparing a mid-43 end with mid-40 one is a little disingenuous (even though it made me laugh)....

Its a joke.I myself never reached mid '43 in gwx3. But still i like the challange and the remote possibility to reach the end of the war.It may sound a bit harsh but i wasnt that happy about only type7 but the real killer for me was the '43 ending.

It's a deal-killer for me. I make my living as a cruise-line musician. An internet connection like that is just not gonna happen. Most of the time I'm not on board I am on a 28' sailboat. Not an steady-connection haven either. Steam lost my dollars years ago. Looks like Ubisoft has now as well. I know I don't live a normal life, but I don't see where I should have to be told by THe Man where an when I can get my game on after I've paid my money. Or maybe I'm just too much of a dinosaur for this world.

NO!
you're not. or 90% of this board are as well .....

Canceled my pre-order this morning. I like the freedom to play my SH series anytime I like on my laptop. I travel often and do not always have an internet connection. It is a shame, I only play SH and no other games. I was really looking forward to this release.

Since RoF operates about the same way and it's in the bargain bin ay Ebay.

Your 3rd and 4th choice on poll equal about the same.

Looking at the totals here and on other threads most members here give SHV the :down: for early purchase.

It seems that way on other sites too.

Yes it will be extremely interestign after the release to lock it and check the results from the poll with the sales and the expected sales.
