question to all members here ?

[Lt commander lare]

hi to all members here including neal i was wondering if anyone would be offended or upset if i bought and tried sh5 i mean i spent over 650 dollars to upgrade my computer for this game and ubisoft pulls this drm thing well we are going to need some people here to analyze the game so to speak and i was wondering if you would all nominate me to try out the game and give an honest feedback on all of it and i have been here for a long time im setting up a pole, vote how you feel there will be no hard feelings no matter what if u all say no then thats what i will do

Don't worry about it dude. Despite the negative hype a lot of us are going to buy SH5, myself included. I'm not going to feel guilty towards the subsim community, nor should I, and nor should you or anyone.

[TarJak]

I'm abstaining from the vote because there is no option to say it is your call.

I've made my call. You have to make your own and should not let pressure from any group sway your convictions.

neal has already said he is buying it to give us all an unbiased informative review of the game.

do what you want to but there is no need to do it for the community to get info about the game.

[Sailor Steve]

I'm with Tarjak. Don't ask others to tell you what to do. Make up your own mind.

Adding to what Webster said, there will be many who will buy the game, and they will talk about it. What you do is up to you.

I would politely ask that you start using punctuation in your writing, though. It makes it much easier to read.

That really ruffles my feathers when I read things like that. People spent a lot of money before knowing about DRM, some found out they can't even play it. Anyways...
Like others said, make up your own mind. Remember Neal will also buy and review it as soon as he can.

I'm going to buy the game myself, but I will not share my opinions until Neal does. Because hes been here a long time. A LONG TIME.

Punctuation Is Your Friend




Full stop
A full stop is used to mark the end of a sentence.
A full stop is sometimes used to mark a short form of a word such as an initial.
Also known as a 'period'.



Comma
A comma is used to mark a pause between different items in a list.
Use as a pause or an interval.
A comma is often used to separate two phrases within the same sentence.
A comma is used to mark the beginning and the end of a phrase which interrupts the flow of a sentence.



Question mark
A question mark is used at the conclusion of a sentence that asks a direct question.
It is not used at the end of an indirect or reported question.



Exclamation point
An exclamation point at the end of a word, phrase or sentence to indicate forceful utterance or strong feeling, such as surprise or rage. It can also follow an order given to someone. Also called an exclamation mark



Brackets
Brackets are used to separate a comment or phrase from the rest of the sentence.
The bracketed word, phrase, or sentence may amplify the meaning or be explanatory. Or it may contain a remark or passage that departs from the theme.



Hyphen
A hyphen is used between the parts of a compound word or name (to join two words that are normally separated) or between the syllables of a word (especially when divided at the end of a line of text).



Semicolon
A semicolon marks a longer pause than a comma to indicate a major division in a sentence. Used to create a more distinct separation between clauses or items on a list than is indicated by a comma. It separates statements which could stand as sentences on their own and are usually of similar importance, but are not linked with a conjunction.



Dash
A dash is used in place of a semicolon to mark a pause in a more dramatic way - to create an abrupt break or pause in a sentence or hesitation in an utterance.
Two dashes can used instead of brackets to separate a piece of information from the rest of the sentence.
A dash is written very much like a hyphen. The difference being the dash is longer, and has a gap on both sides of it.



Quotation Marks
Quotation marks, also called Inverted Commas, are placed on either side of words and the punctuation that goes with them, to show that someone has spoken or of a text directly cited.
Quotation marks can be put around a word or phrase to make it stand out from the rest of the sentence.
Quotation marks can be written in one of two ways "either" - 'or'. "Sometimes this way is used to show speech" and the other one is use to 'draw attention' to a word or phrase.



Apostrophe
An apostrophe used to indicate the omission of one or more letters. It can be also be used the same way with numbers. For instance to denote a calendar year: instead of 1998 it could be written as '98.
An apostrophe is used before or after an 's' at the end of word to show who owns something. When you use its to mean the owner of something you do not write an apostrophe.
An apostrophe also shows the plural of a number or letter of the alphabet, or a word which does not normally have a plural.

I laughed as I was reading this. I laughed at the end of reading this.
Then I felt like an idiot for not knowing half of these facts.

It's a pitty this drm issue. the game looks promising.

If the devs speak it right then sh5 will have:

- Better flooding of the ships.
- Multiple parts of the ships can break.
- Adds to the interior and crew managment a lot (the first person view,
press in sh3 shift-f2 and try to walk around and you can see how nice this feature is).
- Graphics of course.
- Much better campaign.
- Wolfpacks.

My copy of SHV is still in preorder and still can't decide what to do.
I was looking out for this one but I don't wanna support Ubi with this OSP thing.
Decisions, decisions .........

Imho, you can cancel and wait... that is wise, suppose sh5 is full of bugs etc, if not then you have oportunity of buying later after reading reviews comments etc. They don't make a discount for pre-ordering right?.
