LOL :DL

I doubt very much that SH5's sales figures will harm Ubisoft's bottom line in any meaningful way.

Even though it has problems I will buy it if DRM is dropped, I have SH2, 3, and 4 (with UBM), but at the moment I couldn't play 5 if I wanted to, so yes!:yep:
BTW Jim, have you got it? If not would you get it?:hmmm:

But if all of their games have this type of DRM then overall it may make a huge difference.:yep:

I don't know...

THIRD BASE!

But that's what He's asking, who's on first
:har: Love that skit!!:yep:

I should be more specific?

All I'm askin' is, what's the name of the guy on third base?

What's the name of the guy on second base.

I'm not askin' who's on second!

No, Who's on first!

I don't know!

THIRD BASE!




What skit? Never heard of it.

It's no for now. I'm waiting for the gold version, wich in Ubisoft terms translates to Gold Edition, or a major price drop. I don't like the idea of paying full price for betas. The game ain't going anywhere. With time it can only get better and cheaper.

Thanks for voting guys :)

I still dont get why bilge rat voted.... :06:

Me neither. Maybe he jumped right in without looking. :DL

No I dont think that I would. I have bought and played SH3 and 4 since they were released and have really enjoyed them with and without mods, but Silent Hunter 5 was a rushed poorly finished product with better graphics but appalling gameplay from what I have read.

Besides its the game has been out for months and I have not missed it. I would rather play great games like IL2 and Red Dead Redemption than waste my time with it.

lol if you enjoyed 3 and 4 on release, then you would love 5.

First, I'll state that I own a copy of SH5 (thanks to Ubisoft), but I have not installed it.

Whether DRM is dropped makes no difference to me - I don't find DRM a life shattering issue (although I do empathise with those who can't play the game because of external influences outside of their control). Thus I voted "no", because it is not the deciding factor for me.

Now, if Ubisoft released some major "fix it" patches and an add-on or at least provided the ability to add extra U-boat types, years and so on (in other words, making the game as moddable as they claimed before release), well, then it will pique my interest. Otherwise, DRM could be dropped tomorrow, and I still would not install SH5.

You're most probably correct, I wouldn't argue with that. Otherwise they wouldn't have pushed it out that early in the production cycle if they hadn't already decided that could win or loose anything with it. It would be nice to see the sales figures, though.

What did Chamberlain dream about Hitlers foreign politics after annexing Austria and Czechoslovakia? Ubisoft has a history, and a commitment to economic success, making sure the investments return most profit that will benefit stockholders. It's not a dedication to making games of any kind... After SHIV release you could predict how SHV would go...

:hmmm:
