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 · 02-08-10, 08:34 PM

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.

02-08-10, 09:16 PM

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.

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.

Thanks Sailor Steve, I voted for punctuation too....

I don't have nearly information about the game to even begin to think about buying it or not. The actual facts of how the game series is improving are very few and far between. All we know is that the scope has been narrowed to TypeVIIs, until 1943, and you can traverse about the entire submarine in first person.

I'm going to need a demo and/or a review from a trusted source before I'll consider it.

i second that!
we will inform,learn and talk about the game together once it's installed on our computers.
ubisoft hasn't turned us down when we requested things like an entire sub to run trough and all those things we would like to see.
so now that they present us a product in wich they have to combine our wishes with the need to reach a larger public it's up to us not to let them down.
i'll buy silent hunter 5 just like i bought the other four!

Another one for "Do whatever you think is right for you".

I'm using Neal's SH3 review as levelling for his SH5 review. He gave SH3 100% all across the board. Any less than 100% for SH5 and my decision is made.

If your that easy... Give me your paycheck. NOW!!!

Abstained.....don't be a sheeple, decide what is the best course of action for you as an individual.

Guys, nobody here should ever be intimidated by the opinion of other members. If you want to purchase the game then purchase it. And if you want to give feed back on the game, then feel free to do that also.

The purpose of myself and others complaining about DRM is not to influence others in terms of purchasing choices. We are simply expressing an opinion that some share and others don't.

This is not a trade union. Anyone wishing to purchase this game should do so with no feeling of guilt. For me, not purchasing it is a point of principle. For others, DRM is not a big deal.

That's the circle of life.

I haven't checked my punctuation or spelling, so I apologise in advance, Steve.
