Have you ever had that happen to you? I have 1600 hours logged into guild wars, and thats an MMO, far more intense than SH5. Around 200 logged on Fallout 3, a 100 or so on Spore, ive never had any problems with any of these games.

Last Thursday Ubi's server was down from 6pm to 9pm and so were all of it's online games.
I've posted this 2 or 3 times in threads you're smooching away in but you've yet to respond.
Can't think why?

An "always-online" requirement for SH5 means I won't be buying it.

Hitman, there's another one!

I havent even see that, Im only going in 2 threads here. This one and 1 other DRM thread. I havent seen what you wrote.

So what you're saying is SH5 isnt even out yet, and you're assuming right now, before the game is even out, not even knowing if it will be on its own server, that the servers will go down? Okay...

So your argument that server side game saves are awesome because hardware fails which you told me earlier, is perfectly acceptable.
However in your magical world where my hardware is gonna blow any minute, Ubi's (or anyone's) game servers are flawless and never go down.

You are so full of contrary **** it's hysterical.

And whether it's on it's own server or sharing one with a hundred other games is irrelevant. Hardware fails, software fails, nodes fail, routers fail.

You.... fail!

No one here gives a rat's arse about Guild Wars. The concern is that this DRM will kill the modding scene, which is indispensible given the history of this franchise.

Bingo.

I will not buy SH5 if i have to be connected while playing it . I will not buy SH5 if it includes auto patches or DLC at the expense of modders ability to mod the game .

Not just Ubisoft's hardware... ISPs' lines go down, too... My connection dies if there's even a hint of lightning, and it rains a lot here. AT&T tells me where I can stick it when I call them and complain.

Ubisoft's games are now only for people within the city limits apparently, too, since people out in the country have limited access to broadband.

At this point, trenken, it just sounds like you're trolling... either that, or you have a lack of empathy for others' situations.

I have played ww2ol since before release. I get CTHLed all the time. If I play for a few hours it's bound to happen,in fact. Luckily it doesn't matter, I'm just another grunt with a rifle (sometimes LMG).

Besides, a game you play ONLINE requires a connection. REQUIRES, you know, yo play online. For a single player game? No.

Exactly, or as Iron Budokan said so masterly "BINGO".

U56_Dragon · 01-27-10, 05:02 PM

Well,
I knew it...not even interested now...sorry to say.
Just another UBI SNAFU on the way.

stabiz · 01-27-10, 06:01 PM

Wow, commercial suicide. They just dont understand that stuff like this increases piracy.
