The gawd-almighty merged DRM in Silent Hunter V thread - Page 79

ERPP8 · 02-16-10, 04:18 PM

I have planned to buy SHV the day it comes out.
But I have planed the shipping to be week later.
In that time I can see more gameplay vids and reviews.
In that time I can make a good decision.
And also what do you think the problem will be with DRM.

Whoo-hoo! Now we can have another DRM thread!

ERPP8 · 02-16-10, 04:22 PM

Yes but I usually try to shut people up.
I'm not saying SHV will suck or the SHV dev team is a !@#$%^&*.

Just to add fuel to the fire, EA will be shutting down the servers to the following games on March 16:

Def Jam for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
Godfather for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
Lord of the Rings: Conquest for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames for PC
Need for Speed: Carbon for PlayStation Portable
Need for Speed: ProStreet for PlayStation Portable
Simpsons for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360

So, if you plan on playing multiplayer with your friends in these games... tough; EA thinks you should buy one of their newer, more popular games if you want to play with others. Oh, and some of the games aren't really that old.

Here's a list off all of the multiplayer servers they've shut down so far:

Access to multiplayer servers for a game isn't the same as access to the entire game, but it is access to half of the game!

This is the kind of crap we can expect when our access to a game is tied to a company's cost benefit analysis that determines whether it's still profitable to keep hosting a server for that game... in the end, it won't be.

Ah, but this one has a poll. That's new right? Actually, it's a good idea to see what sort of state people's connections are actually in. Great idea!

EDIT: Did no one think of this before... how did it get missed?!

Does 'I don't have an internet connection' mean 'I don't have an always on /permanent connection.'?

DRM is nothing compare flooding interior etc

HundertzehnGustav · 02-16-10, 04:25 PM

Well that made sense- not.

AVGWarhawk · 02-16-10, 04:27 PM

What is DRM

Nisgeis · 02-16-10, 04:27 PM

Come on, give the thread a chance to do what the poll says, let's see what sort of state people's internet connections are in. That does seem like a sensible idea.

While it's shipping people who already have it will make vids and reviews

Why is it that some people here are so "thick" about DRM.

It's more a matter of Ubisofts servers crapping out or overloading and support.

That you don't really own the game is another topic.

If you don't have internet why would you buy it in the first place.

It's not whether you buy it, it's how you feel about it.

HundertzehnGustav · 02-16-10, 04:35 PM

i find it funny how people that have "no connection" could have posted here, or voted.

i took it as "have bad connection", ISDN, or something crappy like that.

ERPP8 · 02-16-10, 04:36 PM

I didn't think about that

EDIT: "No connection" Take as "Really Bad"
