And no GAME is so important as to have such a drastic DRM.

Then tell it to Ubi guys, I guess they are gonna tell you that this game is enough important for them since their paychecks depend on it.

The complete failure of the UI as an immersive device aside, I'm a little excited, if only because I'm eager to see if the new approach will actually make the sim more immersive, but in a different way that I'm accustomed to. I'm curious to see of they've managed to succeed in convincing the player that he is more of a kaleun, and less of a jack-all-of-trades. So far, with a few caveats, it's looking good from that perspective.

However, I'm not looking forward to the months, if not years, before mods, patches and DRM removal finally make it into a product I will play over and over again.

I'm actually eager to see how all this turns out, and how everyone ends up buying it.

i posted a graph that shows internet speed (average for each county) isnt that enough proof for you???

But if thats not enough :-
The crap internet speeds in New Zealand youtube video =
This was a local test... imagine how much slower it is to talk to the US or europe (which is prob where ubi's servers are).

also:-

New Zealand internet, why so slow and expensive

Quote:
To maximise profits, ISP’s purchase a fixed amount of traffic from the Southern Cross cable (the connections that allows you and me communicate with the rest of the world via the internet) and then unfortunately tend to over subscribe that line and generally neglect to increase that traffic as the lines fill up with customers. The end result of that is when 3:30pm hits and all the school children get home and begin updating their Bebo and playing their favourite Youtube videos the internet slows down. This is the major reason why ISP’s start out being so good but as their popularity increase their broadband speed decreases.

and if thats not enough proof then i suggest that you might want to google

Look at your graph: it says ''broadband'' ...as far as I know broadband is not the only way to access internet...(I don't even have broadband myself)

About your video, I see something made by someone and not a serious documentation that describe the global situation in your country as a whole.

About the other link, again only about broadband.

Anyway... nevermind.

Hi Meo,

here's a link about the state of Britain's broadband. 'Broadband' cover optical, cable and copper cables. But in some places there is only the choice of broadband over copper and it's not always good quality copper either. I'm not talking remote areas here, I'm talking captial cities.

As you can see, the pledge is to get a minimum standard of 2 meg for all, so that does corroborate jwilliams' graph for the UK.

/sigh.

New Zealand's covage of cable and satalite is limited. Guess counties with small populations dont have the resorces. In time NZ internet will catch up with the rest of the world but until then. it will be slow.

I cant see any other way to prove to you that other counties dont have the same internet speeds as you. this will be my last post on the subject.
