AVG, didn't you learn your lesson from SH4? DRM issues aside, id wait tell the game's fully patched. That saves you frustration, lessens the burnout factor, mods will have already been made, and by the time all this has occured, the price will have dropped. After the release state of SH4, id think twice about having to be the first kid on the block with the new toy.

Yeah but I like getting the broken toy first and being part of the fix up.

Besides...if she is a real dog out of the gate I can always play SH4/TMO

Prolly do that anyway after a short spell with SH5

SH4 with TMO always brings me back to playing it. It is that simple when it comes to SH4. This game will not be the first time I dropped some major money only to find it really stinks (if it stinks and I do not see it stinking after watching the video Neal posted again). Hell, I got countless disc like that.

Best thing to do with games is get out of your mind what the game should be to you and just play the game as it really is. DRM aside, I think SH5 has some good potential. Just as SH4 had potential and you showed it, SH5 will have hers.

But my heart is in the PTO however supporting more submarine games requires folks to be interested in buying them. Me being a 'folks' purchased to show support. I will also play it!

I have had it on pre-order since first available on Amazon, free shipping and no sales tax. The great thing about Amazon is they will deliver on release day!

Did it with MW2, they had to overnight it to get to me and on their dime.

Amazon is awesome.

Yes I am a guinea pig. This is my only PC game purchase this year and SOW: BOB if its released. Its in the budget, honest!

Amazon is great. I get all my books there and at great used book prices. Books that I would never see if I went to the local book store or library. Can't beat it.

No soup for me I am enjoying Blackshark. me and my wingman reduced a rebel column to a heap of smoldering wreakage tonight.

Looking forward to reading feedback from people that will actually be playing the game.

BTW, even if they know, I don't even think it's illegal.

AVG is only joking about the fingerprint and retina scanner. They'd obviously just activate his webcam and comapre the two images and when it's detected the people playing don't match, they'll send out the two Hunter Killer Bots and one Dog Impregnator Bot.

Not everybody is pre-ordering, there is still a large number of people who won't be buying. There are plenty of people who have said how sucky the DRM is, but they've never said they wouldn't be buying it. I can't think of a specific person who said that they wouldn't be buying it, that now is.

Yeah, I heard of that, but I'm not interested in it. I don't agree with deer hunting and I certainly don't want to play a simulated version of it.

A breath of fresh air in the usual thread that started out promising and turned into the SOS, different day thread about DRM and how Ubi is screwing you.

What's done is done sir! My game is ordered. I watched yet another new video yesterday and the game looks fantastic. I'm afraid a lot will miss out in the beginning because of DRM. We will see what happens with DRM. For me, I have a stable connection and have other things larger in life to worry about than DRM. To each their own!

I am not as afraid of the DRM as I am of an unfinished product. Though SH4 turned into a great game, early on it was a lot of work with mods, then a new patch, then re-installing mods that were updated as a result of the patch

This time around I will wait. I will eventually get the game, the SH series has always been a favorite of mine.

AVGWarhawk · 02-26-10, 09:39 AM

There already is a patch....look closely at your first mate!

I have also bought and installed this game but at this moment i can`t have
noise around me because i am overworked. When i am feeling me better
again i will surely begin with this great simulation.

I don't know if it's just me, but for some reason the anti-DRM zealots are starting to remind me of these guys...

-pre-ordered last week
