Heh.
I upgrade my computer years ago to play SH3

Oh no no...sorry if I didn't explain right! Sometimes my typing gets ahead of my brain and it all stops making sense, lol. I should have worded it better.

My computer is old. I've upgraded it as much as I can and so any next step I take would be to a new computer. Regardless of gaming. I actually use it more for writing and 3D modeling and such rather than gaming. Just mulling over in my head when (and if) that new computer comes if I should dive into SH5 or reinstall SH3. That's all. I wouldn't buy a new computer for a game because at the moment there's only two games that I actually play, X-Plane and SH3.

Well if you put it like that then a new rig it is, one of the first things you should do is install SH3, even if you buy SH5. And X-Plane. You'll get good returns on these games with a new multi processor and modern RAM and graphics cards. Just time how long it takes to load a session of SH3, before you buy your new rig, from clicking to start the game to getting past the 'Not so long ago...' screen. Then repeat with a new machine and be amazed

I looked into SH5 and read several reviews and I could find little positive response for the game. While this normally does not bother me, the fact that the DRM requires the game to always have access to the internet and the game will pause when it loses connection is a deal breaker for me. If Ubisoft's servers go down, you cannot play the game. I will not purchase a game with DRM software that anal retentive.
