for years i have laughed at any game when i see i have to be connected to the internet to play it and see it as no different then those console only games.

if a game company makes a game i cant play on my PC (IMO online only means i cant play it) then i go buy some other game to play, be it new or old.

game companies can try to force their will on everyone against their wishes and for a while they get away with it but sooner or later enough people say no and stop buying it (literally) and give their money to games that are customer friendly.

sooner or later customers voices and opinions will matter again.

you cant sell a product if your customers wont buy it.



I agree 100% and also I might add: to SHV.


I really wanted SHV even reading among all the pros and cons since the first mention of SHV but this so called step into the future is for people like Rockin Robbins ( I've always thought the best of you RR--And I still do-- but your posts in this thread stunk to high heaven, but that's your opinion and I'm sure a few others ) but I don't want any part of 24/7 online for playing games. I believe offline is the only way to fly.

I turn off the Internet 100% ( switch off HS Internet connection via IT Icon on tasktray ) remove about 85% processes running in the background ( Especially Anti-Virus ) and turn my AMD 9500 Phenom quad processor, GF 9600 GT OC 500mb video card and 3 1/2 Gigs loose on SHIV ( pretty much modded ). About 90% options running on SHIV and averaging 160-250 fps throughout the game ( have dropped down to 65 fps in huge battle with all kinds fire and smoke. ).

Am too old to cut the mustard anymore and in the near future I won't be above ground anyway so why torture myself with some fools whom want you to do your gaming THEIR way. NO thanks.

Here I thought it was a huge jump into the future when Ford introduced the 1949 ford which was a 100% body change from the 1948 Ford.

Diesels, OMG they are taking over. And then came DRM.

Well folks THATS ALL SHE WROTE, she sent your saddle home.

I just canceled my preorder, now I'm goning back to the rat race at the SHIV forum.

Sayonara and rotsa ruck.
