When will you buy the game? And if? And why/why not?
 

Given that SH5 is a completely new game, which satisfies some, but dissapoint others, then let's get some numbers on the table. I allready made a similar poll recently, but new facts (or rumours) are on the table, so the poll is hereby reset, so you can vote again in this new poll. The old poll can be found here:

It will be fun to compare... :03:

Before you vote: it's a multi choice poll. For some choices, they can be interpreted as a reason for others it's a choice. F.i. you can vote 1+3 or 1+2 or 1+2+3 for the positive votes. For the negative answers, you have two choices 4 or 5. For those with mixed feelings, you have 6 + 7/8/9/10 OR just 7/8/9/10. This is a suggestion for you how to vote. But you may do as you see fit.

Thank you.

1) I'll buy it asap no matter what.

2) I'll buy it, after having read the first user comments.

3) I'll buy it, just to support subsim games.

***

4) I'll not buy it, the uboat side ain't my favorite.

5) If released as planned, I'll never buy it no matter what.

***

6) If released as planned, I'll buy it, once the price is reduced.

7) I'll buy it, if the dev team and ubisoft delay the release, in order to add the missing uboat types.

8) I'll buy it, if the dev team and ubisoft delay the release, in order to add the missing uboat types AND/OR if they cancel the decision about the DRM OR choose a more player friendly solution.

9) I'll buy it, if the dev team and ubisoft delay the release, in order to add the missing uboat types AND the rest of the war.

10) I'll buy it, if the dev team and ubisoft delay the release, in order to add the missing uboat types AND the rest of the war AND if they cancel the decision about the DRM OR choose a more player friendly solution.

gotta give credit were its due pretty detailed u boat :up: given some time and modifacation could be pretty cool :up: but wait n see seems to be the norm :-? sad part is some cappys are gonna buy it for top $$ guinea pigs of sort hope they get there moneys worth:06:

Can't please all. 10 options is max. Sorry. :-?
I think option 8 is the closest option then, though you don't mind about the missing types.

I think you missed the most important poll option.

Okay, I have edited option 8, so it says AND/OR.
That should do it. As I said, only 10 options.

i want SHIII 2.0, so...

I voted #10.
I don't make my money easy and really don't like the idea of being guinea pig for $59.99. Off the subject: Can somebody finally make complete SH3+GWX widescreen mod? :)

#8 and #10. I'm not happy with some of the choices they've made, but the DRM is what really changed my mind. Without that I was going to buy it no matter what.

When will publishers learn?

As usual, those that obtain the software illegally will not deal with DRM. However, by including DRM the publisher ensures only those customers who purchase and support their products are burdened and forced to deal with the DRM.

Definitely missing.

Read post 1, 4 & 6 again. Thanks.

I don't mind the missing boats. Just don't like DRM. So no. 8 is not my closest voting option.

Same here. Nothing but VIIs? Fine by me. Ends after May 1943? Not a dealbreaker.

The DRM as described thus far? I'll pass.

Chances are I would've needed to upgrade a few things on my end for it to run as well as I'd want it to. Wouldn't have done that for a while, but might still have bought the game now just out of curiosity and anticipation.

Now I'll wait and see if there comes a time when the DRM is no longer an issue - and if so, by then the game will probably be cheaper and I'll be more willing to upgrade HW to play it with all the bangs and whistles enabled.

To be honest? After all the missteps they've made I don't know what they can do to bring me back on board. Because, given their history, especially with the ham-handed way they are bringing this game out, how can we trust them at all?

I wasn't happy with the stuff that we knew before. But the DRM is a real deal breaker for me. I can't accept that at all. :cry:

Another Poll same opinion....No buy untill NO DRM the rest I can live with b/c of modders but as long as there is DRM ther will be slow to no modding
