I'd ask the barber who cut his hair and go there.

I played SH3 and 4 vanilla out of the box (even without patches) for a long time without major issues generally, bugs I can deal with, this DRM I cannot (Literally, I can't use it weather I want to or not)

Remove the online requirement, Ubi has a sale.

I cut my own hair. It's short enough that it takes no effort at all.

I was looking for the selection that describes my feelings, but didn't find it.

It's crap, but the modders just might be able to salvage it.

Are you entertained?

That's what you're paying for with the least effort required... same as any other entertainment lol.

I voted as follows:

It's not bad, but can be improved by Ubi.

This is the first time I have refused to buy a game that ordinarily I would purchase on sight. I am so, so, SO glad I made this decision. I come here to the forums hoping for some news that would change my mind but only find solid reinforcement for my decision.

Haven't bought it, not likely to.

That's cool. I'm pretty busy with other things.

"Haven't bought it, and never will" has been my position from the start, and still is. I hoped for further expansions for SH4, which would add RN, IJN and RNethN, thus making SH4 represent all nations whose navies used subs in the Far East as the Atlantic is less interesting to me.
No such luck. Instead, another U-Boot sim. It got worse: one sub type only, and only until 1943. Interest dropped further. Then the killer: DRM. I already had two sims with DRM (Distant Guns and Jutland) and much as I love these, I would definitely not buy them again because of the DRM SES use, even though it's by no means as intrusive as UBI's. This applies to ALL sims with DRM as far as I'm concerned. And judging by the reviews and everything that has been posted here and elsewhere, I'm not missing anything, really. The only things about SH5 that interest me are the ships such as "Emden", which hopefully will be reverse-engineered for SH4. Firstly, they would make great additions to the "Battle for the Baltic" campaign. Even more importantly, "Emden" would make a useful stand-in for the "Java" and "Sumatra" until somebody makes an accurate model for them- the RNethN's cupboard is rather bare

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

From what I'm reading version 1.1 with mods is far superior to version 1.2 without. Ubi seem to have dropped the ball again.

My real position is will NEVER buy this as long as it is hamstrung by this version of DRM.

EVER.

I wonder how long the obsession around this game will last...

The obsession with DRM you mean? They'll probably never get over it, unfortunately.
