I am acutally wanting the game to be a great success. Yes there are somethings that I don't like:

1943 campaign limitation
Only type VII boats
Expected retitiveness of AI character interactions.

However there is one big bugger of an elephant in the room preventing me from wanting to buy the thing and that is the OSP tether. Without OSP SHV is a buy. With OSP it is not.

My reasoning is simple, I don't want to pay AU$90 odd for a game that I cannot play whenever I want regardless of where I am and whether or not I have an internet connection and regardless of whether Ubisoft's server farm exists or not. I can do that now with SH3 and for now at least I will continue to use that game over anything that comes with OSP.

Will I buy it when it gets to bargain bin status in 12 months time? Well that will depend on what I see in the forums and It's simple economics for me. AU$90 is too much to pay for something I don't get freedom of use out of. AU$10 I can live with the tether, but frankly if the games replayability is not there, then it will end up on the shelf like SH4.

And yes Ubi this means I'm not buying any of the other titles that comes with OSP.

Your choice on the other hand is exactly that...
