I was about to buy it in the shop yesterday, but thought I should check out the other prices.

$3.75 USD through this awesome site?

How can it be that cheap? that's around $8 NZD. It was $50 NZD (around $23 USD) in the shop! :o

Funny?, I can't play in the off line mode..... DRM still shuts me down when I get all the way to the " load saved game", Then gives me the message that I'm off line!.......

I think I might buy this now.

Such a shame.
They must have missed out on so much money with this crazy DMR, not to mention the bad publicity.
Can only hope they have learnt their lesson.
Glad I can get the game at last, and have saved myself a few £ as well.
If it were not for the DMR I would have paid full price on launch day. Or even pr-ordered.

Picked up a copy a couple of weeks ago after I herd the news; found the usual collection of SH bugs:shifty:, hate the UI:nope:, but am LOVIN' the graphics!:yeah:.

For now I'm just quite happy cruisin' around the seas not sinkin' anything but just checkin out the scenery. Damn It looks good!

My offline mode WAS working. However as of the last update it stopped. I just get 'login failed' if settings are at force offline.

Damn you Ubi-*shakes fist*-

Kresge 12-18-11 02:39 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong: you still need an internet connection for the initial install?

My buddy is a die hard SH3 skipper but doesn't have internet access. I guess this still isn't going to help him if that's the case.

Yes, you have log on once to register the game.

NiveusLeo 12-18-11 05:56 PM

Yeah, and really the DRM ONLY hurts the people who legally buy the game. We all know that the pirates are getting around all of this. So in the end it only frustrates the legal players...

Sailor Steve 12-18-11 06:18 PM

WELCOME ABOARD! :sunny:

Yes, we've been having the DRM discussion for over a year now. Many of us waited until it was gone to buy the game. Yes, you do still have to register - once. After that you never have to talk to them again.

Offline mode is not working here either - also it still synchs my games and when I choose offline mode it makes me login and I cannot play the game. Anyone else getting this?

captnmike 12-21-11 11:41 AM

I'm still trying to play off line too! I even re-registered my game with UBI soft, but doesn't help? I think it may have something to do with how U installed the program? ( If you have the CD version or downloaded origanlly from UBIsoft) which is what I did! Also many people may think there off line, but untill you physically disconnect from your broadband or dial-up connection.... Your still "on-line"! ciao :-)

THE_MASK 12-21-11 02:54 PM

When its offline the game still syncs with the ubisoft game launcher . To say its still online when its not is lame .
