holding out just fine with SH4 Operation Monson mods... Not really interested in Sh5 anymore until some awesome mods come out. COnsidering i saw a few videos and the "virtual uboat tour", that seems to be the best thing about Sh5, is virtually empty of men. Sigh.. They coulda gone so far with it and made it so awesome... :down: Makes me wanna cry.. :wah:

::edit::

So how are sales doing anyway? Is Ubi taking it in the rear?? I hope so...

Cheapest copy is 13 pounds from amazon, so yeah I'm pretty sure they're :oops:... you know :salute:

pretty well!

have a clinch with my neighbor, who owns the game... but isnt intop forums and modding all too much.
he invoited me over yesterday, and i played that SHV mission up in the north, where you hae to split a convoy, and let the Luftwafles finish it off.

I didnt let 2 minutes pass without pointing out something that is less good than SHIII modded.

the only reply he had left in the end was "but you gotta admit, it looks faboulous!"

<-- hold out crew member holding up damn well.:yeah:

:haha:... yes SH5 is very purdy.

Heh, he should stay away from the entire SH series then ....
Unfortunately all unmodded SH games pale in comparison to their modded form. Hell, even after a month SH5 has a bunch of what I would call required mods.

First post - sorry it's a stroppy one... :-)

I admit, I wasn't terribly excited about SH5 anyway, truth be told. To me, it seems that we're just treading old ground anyway - I'm afraid I'm one of those players who'd like to have seen the new SH updated to the modern day or an alternate-history Cold War.

Still, that's a discussion for another thread. In fact, I'd probably have bought SH5 for no other reason than decent sub sims (even rubbish ones) are too rare to ignore them. I want to support the genre; I want to see more and better, more immersive and realistic sims. And although I think the Atlantic-theatre U-boat scenario has been well enough served by SH3, for now at least, that alone would have been reason enough for me to buy 5 as well.

But I won't. I absolutely will not pay to support the use of a high-handed, obnoxious, and insulting DRM system. While this system remains part of SH5, Ubisoft will not get a penny from me for their game. The moment the DRM is removed, I will buy SH5, legitimately, as I have bought - with real, legal money - its four predecessors.

Companies should not be rewarded for treating their legitimate buyers - or prospective buyers - like criminals. I would like to think that the industry, as keen as it may understandably be to protect its product, will soon learn that intrusive and unreasonable DRM of this kind is self-defeating. And let's not pretend that this sort of demand is reasonable. To run a single-player game I should need only the game code and a suitable rig to run it on. A demand that I keep a constant connection (never mind that I might otherwise choose to anyway - that's none of Ubisoft's business) is unnecessary and disproportionate. Behaving like cynical despots simply alienates the honest public while rarely causing any long-term inconvenience to pirates.

same with me.

welcome aboard! :salute:

WELCOME ABOARD!:sunny:

And ditto.

Am I authorised to Welcome Aboard members with my measly post count? I'll Welcome Aboard him anyways.
And ditto.

Measly?
I should remind you that false modesty is not allowed.
Secondly, a two poster is entitled to welcome a first poster if the secong poster comes in front of the first poster, though it would seem that a first poster was senior to a second poster wno seemingly followed the first poster but was actually ahed of the first poster :D

Brag, you're Balzing everything up again!:O:

Steve, believe it or not Balz lives. If I find a bit of time off earthquake relief work, Balz will re-emerge. :D

Welcome Aboard Herr Kaluen!! :arrgh!:

That made me all confuzzled. Which, I admit, is rather easier to do nowadays as I advance in years. :cry:
