AND??

Absolutly, with no hesitation. The game looks gorgeous, and sounds tremendous.

However, the DRM has totally smothered the community, meaning that until (or if) it is removed, there really won't be the third party content that makes these games great

Absolutely yes. I would have SH5 now if it wasn't for DRM. In fact I want it bad but right now all you get for the price is a promise.

Haven't played it enough to give it a fair hearing.


I doubt anyone here will find it cheaper than this: $23.99 & Free Shipping @ Amazon.com

edit: Removed broken link. Look at my next post.

Yeah, same here. I haven't bought SH5 yet and couldn't answer the poll because it's not a simple issue of DRM or no DRM. I would probably buy the game right now if a major campaign re-write was available. I just don't think I could stand being ordered to go out and "sink 5 warships!"... I want a simulation, not an arcade game.

Also, there there are many good PC games and simulations out right now that I'm having fun with, and new ones on the horizon I'm looking forward to. A game has to be very good to be worth my money and investment of time. I don't want to spend hours "playing" and being frustrated at the same time. When it looks to me like SH5 has crossed that threshold, I'll pick it up.

Why doesn't amazon list the bugger anymore?

sigh :nope:

what a maroooon :haha:

I just checked my link and it is broke now.

Went to Amazon and ALL SH games are currently UNAVAILABLE. :o WTF

Yes thats weird, I just checked Assasins Creed & HAWX and it says the same (unavailable) on all formats either a glitch in the mighty Amazon system or a major fallout with Ubi?

UPDATE... just tried the Sims (from EA) and it also is down... looks like their entire games dept is currently screwed.

Thx Sonarman. :salute: I thought I was all alone. Going :doh:

Tough decision eh?

:DL

Well, before release I also was very upset at the idea of this nonsense DRM scheme, something forced onto legal owners that is technically not required. But soon the quality of the product itself came to light, and it was obvious that the developers were pressed into or even agreed to push it out fast instead of completing it. The arcade stuff, the good concept of dynamical campaign badly executed with nonsense goals, the lack of the promised port interactivity and so much stuff incomplete, bugged, superficially working etc. Even without DRM I would rather think I gain more by spending my time with better games. SHV unfortunately had some very good design ideas, and enormous potential, and maybe if modders made it THEIR product (you couldn't possibly call that mods anymore), it could still be brought to fruition. But not now.

No DRM? Yes... absolutely... I would buy it.
I don't want Ubisoft to go out of business...
I just want them to start thinking a little more clearly.

You shouldn't vote at all, since you already own it again.

You should vote no, since like Bilge_Rat you're not likely to buy it a third time.

You should vote yes, since you obviously would buy it if you hadn't already.

If you're not confused now you're worse off than I thought.
:rotfl2:

Who's one first ? :DL
