What do you feel about SH5 now?

Rockin Robbins · 05-12-10, 08:30 AM

Until the DRM is eliminated the game can be pure gold and it will STILL be a case of a game company treating us like criminals and asking us to trust them to continue to run a miserly three servers. Trust is a two way street and I don't trust 'em. End of story.

If I understand right, you will not buy the game not because of its supposed bugs and other related gameplay problems, but because of the DRM. Thank you for your feedback.

My position is also unchanged.

danlisa · 05-12-10, 09:05 AM

Unchanged!

I'll support the game in my own way but UBI will not be getting money out of me for this diabolical release. It's been poor (to say the least) from it's concept.

You should really have an option for "it's not bad it an be fixed by the modders & Ubi" as in truth there are many hard coded things modders alone simply cannot fix. The real question is, if it is true that Ubi have abandoned the game (and we still have no official confirmation of that) how do we get them to come back & the core fixes needed?

Anyone can vote "it can be improved by UBI" and "it can be improved by modders", both options, "combined".

That's what I did but it won't do your post poll analysis any good.

It's a great game that will continue to get even better. Not any more of a fiasco than any other pc release lately. It's people freaking out here that make it seem like a fiasco.
Cheers,

Well, easy: few of the things promised and highly anticioated features (wolfpacks, etc.) work properly, plenty of remnant features of SHIII don't work as they used to either, lots of stuff I had gotten so used to and made SHIII+GWX such a gem have been dropped out entirely (Type II, IX, XXI, later years, the baracks etc, crew losses etc). Patching and support does occur at a bare minium level, and if I had bought it, I would be really angry now, probably feel quite stupid and cheated. Ubi is not any better than the people they aimed the DRM chains at -- oh, ups, they aimed at the loyal customers (and resellers), I forgot.

Hey, but you can walk through your underpopulated, overscaled submarine interior all day long, don't even have to care about submarine warfare and get soup all along! And yeah, it has so beautiful graphics! Especially when you see the screenshots of ships running on shore, or running through each other... /sarcasm end/.

I guess there is, thus far, only one possible conclusion...

That would be why I voted for both.

I'd love the DRM to go away, too. I bought the software legit'ly. I installed it legit'ly. I have a good constant online connection, so as long as Ubi's servers stay up, it doesn't affect me on a practical level. That being said, it deeply offends me on a moral and ethical level.

I agree with Rockin, I will not buy the game simply because of DRM. I understand there are bugs in it (which only add to me not buying it) that mods might be able to fix. But the two key things for me is that #1 DRM and #2 Its half a game for Christ sake, you only play through 1943.....really? You people bought into it?

I do not know whom the so called intelligent person was to stop this poll but in any case this is my vote.

I haven't bought this game and I will probably not buy it.

Those were the words made out by the OP but in my case it will read: I haven't bought this game and I will NEVER buy it!

When will you people stop bowing to this false god UBI?
