SHV, Your Intentions 3 Weeks Before Release - Page 4

Time to cast my vote

I'm not letting Ubi screw me.

flag4 · 02-14-10, 03:24 PM

i wonder how many of the 'will not's' secretly 'will'

as for me, i probably 'will not' - but 'will' - eventually, when all the s*** has dripped off the fan.

and,

i have a new machine - it does look gorgeous though!

hey ho!

I cancelled my preorder. I play World at war 2 using steam, no problem. UBI's site has always been a hassel to log onto. Site has been slow at times. Game looks good,I'll miss out for time being. Hopefully steam will pick it up some time in future.

Only one day and a bit left before this poll closes. Make your vote count.

I won't buy it. Not only since I'm hesitant about the Sims-on-a-uboat part, but also because of the DRM.

I have Rise of Flight, a fantastic WW1 aircombatsim. Alas, it has the same type of DRM. No problems on the serverside, but when my internet clonks out for whatever reason, however slight the chance, I want to be able to play and use my legally bought software.

If sales are not what they should be in the eyes of UBI and the servers go down in a couple of years, then you're left with a 50 euro coaster.

I will buy it, (pre-ordered it), and hope that the modders can turn it in to a decent game, may have to wait a bit, but I'm sure it will be worth it.

I want to buy Silent Hunter 5 because it looks like a interesting "subsim" and it seem to have great graphics, the first person view approach looks fresh and might add to the "das boot" feeling of the game. My internet connection is pretty rock solid with 99,999% uptime, 100/10mbit so I don't see the DRM as a problem from my part anyway, hopefully UbiSoft have stable servers with proper bandwidth.

I don't want to buy "Silent Hunter 5" because I don't really want to support this type of DRM and what if the servers crash a lot and make the game unplayable.

Sad, I want to buy Silent Hunter 5 from what I have seen so far, nothing about the actual game that makes me hesitate to buy it.

Guess I will buy it anyway...

For those of you that buy the game you are saying to Ubisoft and every other game developer that you support this type of DRM. Do you really want to convey that message? Think about this seriously.
Take a stand. Enough is enough.
I'm seriously considering standing outside Best Buy on release day with a big sign informing people what DRM type this game has and to not buy it.
I'm sorry but I used to like Ubisoft. Now all I want to see is them fail miserably. And this goes for any other software company that pushes this type of DRM on us.

I am buying the game, NOT to directly support Ubisoft, but to actually play a new game.....i am the last person that you would ever see "advertising" either by clothing or otherwise a particular company or a company's ideals or what they have to sell or stand for......believe me.....
It obviously is a "generalised" comment that you make about purchase, ie supporting Ubisoft, unfortunately you cannot generalise, or "pigeon-hole,
i get what you are perhaps "trying to say", technically you are correct in saying that i am supporting Ubisoft by buying the product, however i don't think it's fair to assume that i, or ( maybe some of ) those that purchase the game have anything other in mind apart from experiencing new gameplay, all unproven or otherwise "unplayed" negatives aside for a moment......
And, before you jump down my throat, i respect your viewpoints and wanting to stand outside Best Buy with signs etc etc.....you believe in something and you will fight for it, fine.
And yes, i have thought about it, many a time, how can i not, with continuously being informed of the DRM (issue), anti-piracy, unfounded assumptions, suggestions (quiet strong might i add in some instances) to not buy this product...both here and on other forums...........

And........after all that, guess what? Yep
i'm buying it.......still.
Not because i am pro Ubisoft or a suck-up.....
P.S. No, i'm not taking your comments personally......

Something like this, Racerboy?

Or maybe in yellow? Probably better for shock value

Think about this seriously?

I've been thinking about it... ...this is just a computer game.
