For the last few years I have absolutely enjoyed SH3 and SH4 with a group of friends on-line. APDrone has been there for the last year or so, and we have a good time whenever we run either of those games.......
A couple of folks within our group are really looking forward to SH5 coming out. Not a bad thing by any means, but I will not spend my money to purchase SH5. I travel regularly with my work and often find myself sitting in a location that does not have internet connectivity(and yes I'm talking about Hampton Inn and other hotels of that nature). SH3 and SH4 have been GREAT when burning off the stress of the day once I finally make it to a hotel. So just exactly how would I run SH5 when there is not an available internet connection? Granted, I may be one of the few who see this type of issue on a regular basis, but why would anyone spend their money for the right to play a game on their computer ONLY if they have an internet connection?
This whole idea of requiring a connection is ludicrous at best!
