Yes, it has the dreaded Ubisoft DRM and no, this is not going to stop me from buying it. In any case, I would like it if people kept the discussion to the game itself and NOT the DRM. There are already tons of threads on it and I'm frankly a little tired of it cause it keeps the discussion away from the actual game. In any case, I'm excited for Sam Fisher's return after a 4 year absence. A demo is out tomorrow but I think its only Xbox 360. Yea I know, I check the GameStop stores and they have giant Conviction posters with the HUGE 360 logo and off in a corner is a tiny PC DVD ROM SOFTWARE logo.

:D :D :D

I have been waiting for this game since 2006.

I'm not getting it. I don't want to struggle with the crappy DRM that Ubisoft is going to use for this game.

EDIT: Realized what I said was off-topic. Oopsy. As for the requirements, they don't look too bad.

Those are pretty reasonable... apart from the DRM. That puts a damper on it. I'll still get it, but much more begrudgingly knowing that i need a internet connection.

i will get it for sure. It will look 10000 times better on the pc and while tis DRM is bad it wont stop me for getting the game. We must support pc gaming so get the pc version i am sure if pc versions sell well then they will remove the drm it was pirates who forcred them make this drm afterall

But i havent played ANY splinter cell games. Do i need to first the first 4 games to understand the story?

Didn't we get the Xbox 360 version of the game? Yea we did, the 360/PS3/PC are all the same, it's the PS2 one that's different. The next-gen one were made by Shanghai and the last-gen one was made by Montreal.spiderman120988

Even if there was no DRM i still wouldn't waste money on it.

This guy in baggy cloths that shoots everyone up is Sam Fisher, as much as Serious Sam is Garret.

Googled around and it turns out the Ubisoft Community Manager had tweeted that there is NO PC DEMO TOMORROW. The demo is only for 360. I speculate this is Microsoft's doing to make people think that this is a 360 exclusive....spiderman120988

I like to blame Microsoft as much as the next guy normally but in this case I think the culprit here is Ubisoft, when are you guys going to get it ? All the PC is to Ubisoft is a way to make some extra cash for very little work. The PC version will look pretty much exactly the same as the console version, there is no demo because that would have cost Ubisoft money to make and it obviously works because people keep falling for it. I stopped buying Ubisoft games a few years ago when they started using starforce and I can see this company hasn't changed (but why should it since no one will take a stand) so I will continue to NOT support Ubisoft and ensure I financially support other companies that do make an effort in the PC world because I love PC gaming.

I would post one of those facepam pictures now to show what was my reaction when you said that there is no demo for pc.....but anyway i am too bored.

(NOTE: By facepalm i mean a sad facepalm like "O god" and the facepalm is directed to ubisoft as my reaction to the lack of the pc demo but there is a x360 demo. I am not intending the facepam towards spiderman, i just pose my sadness and frustration towards ubiisoft and their move of not having a pc demo)

Anyway if this keeps going on, ubisoft is gonna ruin themselfs.

I dissagree, the drm took alot of work, they are taking the pc version very seriously :lol:

I am kidding ofcourse :P but seriously you are right the pc version wil be a cheap port identical to the console version.

very true.

drm or no drm i dont care, im not missing out on conviction

Thanks for clarifying who the facepalm is directed at! =D In any case, at least we will have THE MOUSE SUPPORT! Apparently that is a unique feature to Infinity Ward when it came to the PC version of CoD MW2. What's next, a console game will have a feature advertised on the back: YOU CAN USE A CONTROLLER!spiderman120988

I hope its as bug free as Double Agent!nutcrackr

Wow. That DRM is absolutely ridiculous. People moan and whine about drm all the time and yeah its usually lame and hurts consumers while not stopping piracy but this is just...wow...so what if your internet goes down (which mine does often-crappy isp) you can't even play your single player game? That is ludicrous.

internet conection ...

A demo will be released today for the 360.

There are no plans for a PC demo.

Decent requirements but Im gonna get it on the 360 instead, this whole DRM thing drives me mad and I wanna do co-op with my buddy who doesnt have a good enough PC

I'll be buying this game as well. I've been waiting for who knows how long. I don't really care about the DRM either, I mean I hate it but it's not going to stop me from getting this game considering I've been waiting for so long. So, there is no DX11 support, it's on 9.0? Did I read that correctly? Sewaged

fyi you avatar was a snuff film and child pornographer. might make you think twice about looking up to such scumekultus

I will respect the TC's wishes about the DRM but I won't be buying this game. Even look at the system requirements. They are as high/higher than Crysis but looks worse. Sounds like poor optimization to me.
