Hey Russian I am not crying about their decisions. It looks like an amzingly good fun game. I wish I could play it right now. I just cannnot buy a game that will not function at all without active internet.

Those screenies are fantastic, i am jealous :D

Mechanic, since you're in the UK you could check if circumventing DRM is legal as long as you own the product. In many European countries, or at least in some, it is legal to to do so. In some countries it is even legal to copy software, movies and music for backup purposes. Check your local laws gents.

hmm crying? Russian... When I buy a game I own it and can play any time I want. I'm way past any game limited by just playing with AI. I understand many still like that though and that is fine.

Same in the States.  You are allowed to make/have one archival copy.  I do this on some software and know others that do it as well.  Just so we don't risk damaging the original.

@Russian:
I have no problem paying for stuff it's just that I expect to be able to use a single player game any time I want to.  If I am playing a MMO I understand that if I cannot connect to the server then I can't play it, but that is the way MMO's work.

I still think the game has great visuals I don't know much about the FM/DM but I have heard that they are top notch as well.  I wish NeoQB the best but I hope they continue to have the problems that are currently affecting the game.  Maybe at some point in the future they will do away with the always connected feature, maybe not who knows.

My flight and I flying in formation near the front looking for RAF bombers harassing rear area depots.


The wreckage of my first RAF Nieuport.  After putting a substained burst in the cockpit, I watched it as it tried to ditch.  Apparently, this Nieuport was piloted by one of Guppy's relatives as you can readily see by the landing.


The remainder of my flight heading back home after a successful patrol.  We lost our flight leader when he was rammed by a RAF Nieuport.

As far as I see it, I brought the game legitimetly and I own that game, Im not very good at explaining my point enough, but I dont like it.

No actually your explaining it very well. The fundemental difference is that AH primarily exists as an online game. Your paying a monthly fee for the use of both the software and the administered network to play on. Here you appear to be playing a "box game" that has an online validation....if correct then I'd never even consider buying it.

I have heard rumours about it was pushed back because of the US retail release so as not to endanger revenue for 777 studios.
