I have opinions about the DRM which can be found elsewhere, but with the help of a few mods I am having a hoot playing SHV. I really am enjoying it. Sure there's a few bugs, but I've not come up against gamebreaking bugs yet.

The only thing I do find annoying (besides the Drm) - is the fact that you can't go to silent running if your No 2 is injured. Can't wait till that is modded out.

Yes, I did buy the game and played through the tutorial and sank my first ship in the second mission of the campaign. As you say, the game is playable WITH mods. Someone else compared it to buying a car: well, I wouldn't buy a new car at the price of a new car if I would have to get new tires, new sparkplugs and replace the battery before I could drive it. It is the responsability of the producer to test and finish its product before putting it in the market.

And I won't even begin about the DRM, which led to players being unable to play for yet another weekend.

EDIT: none of this really belongs in this thread, I was merely trying to be funny with my dubya-quote

Why do people always compare it to buying a car?
It's nothing like buying a car.

It's more like buying a cheap wristwatch with only 11 hours on it ...

I do see your point and it's valid against most games released nowadays, I remember ETW when it was released and the bugs it had. I don't think we are asking too much, when we ask for a finished game for our money at all.

As for highjacking the thread - it's really difficult to know what is ontopic, more QQing about Ubisoft I guess..................

Your Dubya quote wasn't lost to me at all. That vid still makes me smile
