SH 5: Is it worth it?

Larry U-136 · 08-08-10, 08:09 AM

With no internet connectivity other than dial up through ATT, and this DRM feature, it doesnt sound like I will be able to play this game. It looks great but what are the major problems you guys have found with it and are most people just going back to SH 3 GWX etc?

You can't connect via a dial up modem, hopefully in the future a DRM free version will be released, I too am in the same boat!

DRM? You're probably right. If you don't have a constant good connection you're out of luck.

Thanks guys. Is there a remote possibility that a DRM free version will be released and can that be done with the features the game has?

If I recall correctly there are (were?) plans to release a DRM free version about a year or so after initial retail launch? I don't remember where I read this though, I know it was for an Ubi game that utilizes this newfangled DRM system of theirs.

They state right in their User Agreement thingy that they will remove the DRM when it has outlived its usefulness. Or something to that effect. It has been posted before by someone who has actually read it.

In relation to OP: SH4 is a good DRM free alternative.
