Prior to that revelation, I was excited, I have a good system, dual graphics cards, huge monitor and I was drooling for it... now, I'll probably buy a couple of cases of beer instead...

But keep an eye on it. To be sure, DRM is not forever in most cases.

Hmm, not really too intrested/ exited about SH5, all it seems to be is graphics, with a crew thingy, and a newish campaign scheme...

I can back up this statement. I purchased a copy of SH3 last summer from Staples for $9.99 specifically because it has Starforce removed and use it in place of my original.

Getting that excited feeling the closer we get. It will be nice to have a new game to check out.

I'm indifferent, but keeping an open mind. Maybe a killer feature will emerge that makes this a "must buy". Maybe it'll be the stuff the modders do, they've done magic before.

Default when...

I remember when I was younger I was reading games magazines all the times and would full of excitement await new games a year ahead of time.

However, when you get older and have seen a lot, then it becomes a routine, and other things in your life will become much more important. Now it is "just a game", "just another thing competing for my rare time".

And, thus, it better has to be really good if it wants to conquer a spot on my harddrive (and displace another game) and get a spot in my evening schedules. Especially in summer, my PC remains often lonely for long times.

I will feel more excited when they removed the DRM on SH5.

The day they release a version without the DRM or a patch that drops the online requirement I will be excited. REALLY excited. For me, as for many others, this will be the actual release date as before this I am simply unable to play the thing.

UBI, have a heart! ... or at least some brains!

This is by far one of my favorite series of games, my deployments overseas were and still are made better with alittle sub action in between ops and on those downtime days. I think we should stop all the rediculous amounts of negative posts when we dont even have the game yet, rest assured it will have its faults but the modding community here is by far the best ive ever seen with a game series.

Just my two cents been out of loop for a bit and was kind of surprised by all the threads in here, didnt seem like the old Subsim i remembered.

Happy sailing

It`s not like the old subsim you remembered because UBI are not like the old UBI we remembered. Blame UBI for the differences, not us.

But excited? Frankly, no.
Prolly about the best way to explain my feelings on the subject as well.

I am, however, excited to be getting a new computer in the next few days.

Default OK ..But why would'nt you talk about DRM

Sorry my friend and fellow subsimmer but your request is like saying lets have a conversation about WW2 without mentioning Adolf Hitler

Think about what you are saying - As has been mentioned in 100's of threads, there are many SubSimmer's, your fellow forum members - who cant or wont buy the game because they simply do not have the kind of reliable internet that you obviously do, either their country does not offer the kind of internet you take for granted, or it costs too much
the costs therein make it impossible to consider.

By purchasing the game and ignoring their concerns you are simply saying up-yours to them - so in honesty you cannot discuss SH5 with out disusing DRM

Best Regards
