Look whats happening to an UBI-like DRM servers

Ubisoft has made the impressive journey from releasing buggy games, to releasing buggy games that can only be played on unreliable servers.

How proud they must be.

Anyone here spending $50 for Silent Hunter 5 is out of their mind. Let the all important casual gamers spend their money on it. The game is an arcade game targeted at them.

Simmers should wait at least six to nine months before buying, and only then if the game can be played off line.

Well, call me crazy but since I know I'll still buy it eventually, I'd rather get it now. As a hard-core player in both SH3 and SH4, it's worth 50 bucks just be there from the beginning. I've missed the SH3 and SH4 early eras, I'm not gonna miss this one too. Plus, you all need a good gameplay review to make up your minds

. My only problem is this one: after I buy it, how long can I last without sleep?

Depends on the reasons for buying it. I'll buy it. I think it will cost 19.95 like SH3 and SH4, but I'd buy it regardless of the price, to be able to tell anyone else for myself if the game is worth buying or not (like doing a review). If I'm not using/buying SH5, I need strong reasons which I can 100% defend in front of others, I need the reasons to be objective, and they can't be if I don't try it. And I won't be getting it pirated, like many people suggest these days.

Cheers

If all the simmers waited six to nine months, who is going to be making the mods that the simmers are waiting six to nine months for?
