Splinter Cell: Conviction Goes Gold with New Media

Right, now please before everyone shits on me, I want to make it clear I hate the DRM that Ubisoft use for the PC aka 24/7 Internet connection if you play and wish it was removed.

So I ask Shack this is Sony and the PS3 technically doing almost the same thing and even your BlueRay player like LG or Samsung? Yes its not using an Internet connection 24/7 while watching or playing but its damn close.

Recently bought Assassins Creed 2 for the PC with the DRM and its an awesome version yet it has the DRM why should I suffer and not buy it for the DRM?

Ok here is my issue. I bought Blueray New Moon for my girlfriend and we watched it in our Blueray player (LG), and guess what it didn't work? We basically had to connect to the Internet, usb key was not an option to be able to watch the movie. Is that not a sort of DRM, I know they say the new features force this update but come on.

Now the other major issue I have that most of you fail to bitch about is the PS3, practically all the new games force you to update your firmware from the internet. Now this is a form of DRM as well, yes you do it once but its pretty close.

So what I am getting at is should we all miss out on all the rest of Ubisofts games for now on the PC since they have this shit DRM, when almost everything is starting to have some sort of DRM?

I am really torn here, ya I could get these games on my 360 or PS3 but I want to play it on my PC.

Also what good did it do that most of us did not buy Assassins Creed 2 PC, I really don't think Ubisoft gives a shit or is gona change...

So much angst!

At least I, for one, will be happily playing this baby on my 360.

No buy here. Drop that stupid DRM that only punishes legit purchases, and then I might reconsider.
But even as a HUGE SC fan, no go ubi, no go.

I guess I get to find out if I am part of the old and busted crowd with this game. I piss all over this title for essentially gutting all of the best stealth elements from Chaos Theory as well as jettisoning Spies vs Mercs multiplayer (the latter is unforgivable in my opinion). But if Conviction sells millions of units then I guess the market has moved on, I don't have my fingers on the pulse of the industry as much as I think I do, and a reimagining is what takes to keep this franchise in business.

I was planning to pick this up.

Now I might get it used if I get it at all.

the image that the trailer starts on is awkwardly funny. is sam fisher dry humping that dude?

Wasn't the PC version bumped a couple of weeks later?

Until Ubisoft have a major policy rethink this is one title that can stay on the shelf.

Their latest DRM stunt is contemptible to say the least.

So will it have their DRM (Dat Raging Misery?) on board of the Steam version? I wanted to get it, but I kind want to not give Ubisoft any money, if has that DRM or not, until they get it off of their products.

x360 version is great :P

Ubisoft seems to do so many things right and so many things wrong at the same time.

*Sigh.*
