Ordering through the subsim store

Nisgeis · 02-21-10, 06:36 AM

There was a sticky somewhere that had details of ordering SH5 through subsim, but I can't seem to find it now. Neal recommended not to order until the game was about to come out. Is it safe to order it yet?

It is safe to order anything through the Subsim store except SHV, which is infected by DRM/OSP/Youplay.

Well, you should have said something sooner Brag, if we'd known earlier we could have said something, made some sort of protest, or maybe started a petition or perhaps even had a poll (or two). Ubisoft would have listened to us! They'd have to be mad not to, but now though, with only a few days to go, it's too late for them to change the dics on sale.

What a shame. Next time, speak up!

Ubi should be OK, as long as they don't do the same with their larger titles, like Assassin's Creed 2.

Well, it was pretty much done with, not like it had anywhere else to go. But since it lives again... as we were on the subject of Amazon, has anyone had a look at the reviews Bioskock 2 has been getting? It's got as many one star reviews as five stars. Unfortunately, even though they have listened and will be reducing the DRM, those reviews will still stay there. I'm going to wait and see how the user reviews for AC2 turn out. That's if Ubi don't get amazon to remove them.

User ratings is quite a nice soap box, for the disaffected.

I found that Nisgeis did a good job to let Brag know that he was repeating himself.

Don't get me wrong, if they do reduce it, it will be welcome.

It's just very annoying how some people can't even let other people discuss about something else and always come back to this word DR...

Yep, I know, I just don't have his talent and his patience...

Well, Brag is right about the DRM, it's not pleasant and it's good to have a standard bearer on your side (I don't like the DRM either). It's just a shame that even if Ubi do remove the DRM, mud sticks and the SH5 / AC2 ratings will still be 2.5 stars forever more. One star is the worst rating - you can't rate no stars, so 2.5 stars is pretty poor about 1.5 out of 4, or 37.5%.
