Buy it, buy it now I tells ya

This probably won't apply to most of the people who frequent these forums but......

Just in case anybody is sitting on the fence re: SHV. Time to come down off it.

With all the work done by the dedicated mod men

this is a game/sim worth buying now. Haven't enjoyed a game this much in a long time. SHIII & IV being the exceptions.

I gave SHV a huge body swerve when it was released due to all the negative comments. Glad I've given it a second glance.

I get so immersed that I stop shaving and washing and hang salami from the ceiling of my PC room. Just kidding, wife would kill me for buying salami.

Saving a fortune on razor blades and soap though.

So if you've been undecided, time to buy especially when it's so cheap now.

Buy, install, get mods and kiss goodbye to your wife; girlfriend; dog. You decide in which order.

Back to the hunt.

You are correct about it being very cheap to buy now and it is tempting as the stock game looks great, but I am still worried about this online DRM thingy. I don't know if I should hold off on the hope that a DRM free version might appear sometime in the future. Mmmmmmm still tempted

A DRM free version is already available isn't it?

Do you mean Ubisoft have finally released a DRM free version? I know about the cracked exe floating around on the net but that would be useless wouldn't it if you wanted to update the game? Admittedly, I don't know very much about SH V

No, Ubisoft removed the DRM requirement from their website more than a year ago. You can select "Play Offline" from the options.

Mega DOH!! I didn't know that.

Thanks for that Sailor Steve!

Now going to hunt for a copy on Amazon

I guess I would need to patch the game first (just after install) before running it?

Wait a minute I just got SH3 up and running with GWX 3.

Oh well finish the war career first with SH3 methinks

Yes...I would never usually make reference to 'cracked exes' they are frowned upon here and rightly so.
