I can back up this statement. I purchased a copy of SH3 last summer from Staples for $9.99 specifically because it has Starforce removed and use it in place of my original.

The day they release a version without the DRM or a patch that drops the online requirement I will be excited. REALLY excited. For me, as for many others, this will be the actual release date as before this I am simply unable to play the thing.

UBI, have a heart! ... or at least some brains!

This is by far one of my favorite series of games, my deployments overseas were and still are made better with alittle sub action in between ops and on those downtime days. I think we should stop all the rediculous amounts of negative posts when we dont even have the game yet, rest assured it will have its faults but the modding community here is by far the best ive ever seen with a game series.

Just my two cents been out of loop for a bit and was kind of surprised by all the threads in here, didnt seem like the old Subsim i remembered.

Happy sailing

It`s not like the old subsim you remembered because UBI are not like the old UBI we remembered. Blame UBI for the differences, not us.

Sorry my friend and fellow subsimmer but your request is like saying lets have a conversation about WW2 without mentioning Adolf Hitler

Think about what you are saying - As has been mentioned in 100's of threads, there are many SubSimmer's, your fellow forum members - who cant or wont buy the game because they simply do not have the kind of reliable internet that you obviously do, either their country does not offer the kind of internet you take for granted, or it costs too much
the costs therein make it impossible to consider.

By purchasing the game and ignoring their concerns you are simply saying up-yours to them - so in honesty you cannot discuss SH5 with out disusing DRM

Ok so you're trying to make me feel culpable for buying it (another one )

And you argue that a substantial part of PC customers can afford a computer that currently runs SH5 and is in the impossibility to get a reasonable internet connection - and you expect me to believe this without any real evidence?

I will do this simply to rub it in the faces of people like you who are trying to bully and shame me into not buying it.

I really wish you would all quit with this attitude. Letum's right - you're pissing people off. Me included also.

lucky you!!!

Here in NZ... i could prob get away with the OSP.... but by no means is the internet fast or stable...

the plan im on is ADSL2 and is "as fast as your phoneline will allow"

i live in a city so its prob faster than most people in NZ.

my max download speed at (off peak times, early hour of the morning) is only 200 Kbps ( a fraction of what most people get). and around 100 Kbps at most times. it has dropped as low as 35 Kbps during peak usage.

there is no other alernative. this is the best i can get in NZ no matter how much i pay( unless i pay to get the county wired with fiber-optics)

So some people arnt as lucky as you.

It already been said before by someone from Ubi that the amount of information sent is very low, and for a period of 10 hours of playing it would have sent something equivalent to 2 Mio.

You can ask Neal for the link of the interview (it was a phone interview with Neal)

and they (Ubi) already said that it could be possible to play with the lowest DSL, again you can ask Neal, he already said that.

In Japan they all live about two feet from their neighbour, so their cable runs are very short to the nearest street cabinet, as it's all really dense. Plus their cable is newer, due to lots of it being damaged through area bombing in WWII. They've also got much heavier government control on broadband quality. In Korea, online gaming is like a national sport, with Starcraft matches being televised with miliions of viewers. They're also a massive MMORPG market as well.

yeah 50Kbps..... oh look... my speed sometimes drops to 35 Kbps..... mmmmmm guess im gonna get alot of lag at peak times. which is every evening and every weekend, which just heppens to be when i can play games. And lag = game pauses.

so yeah lucky you for having a fast connection..... i have no choice

im not saying you shouldnt buy the game.... im just correcting ur statement about "people can build pc but cant afford fast internet".

I don't know seems like 2 Mio in 10 hours is not a hassle?

I'm sorry for you, I guess you have never played GWX 3.0

No, no other alternatives.... all ISP use the same lines (one company owns the lines and rents them to other ISP's).

whats playing gwx gotta do with internet speed???

if ur refering to downloading the mod... i already downloaded it... i dont need to be online to play so my internet speed has nothing to do with playing gwx 3.

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