Splinter Cell: Conviction

[douglatins]

Here's a nano review.

Completed it.
Was quite good though rediculously short.
Crashed ALL the time, kept saying my display driver crashed.
Looks good.
Runs like crap compared to better looking games. "I got 1/3 of usual BC2 frames!"
Was good fun.

I agree with the underlined, but the crashing i only had a couple of freezes, but i guess was a cold bug. Also, i couldn't keep up with the story.

Any issues with the online DRM?

Maybe a driver issue or something but it crashed >20 times in the few hours it took to complete which is unacceptable.

Any issues with the online DRM?

I have moral issue's with the DRM but my internet connection has been solid.

What's the deal with the slow performance I've been reading about with this game. Graphically it's doesn't look like much that would warrant it.

Never really above 30fps with a 4890 at max settings with no AA or AF.

Wow, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense with your setup. What the heck did they do to this dx9 title? I might get this when it goes on sale though.

I've got the feeling that my GPU isn't going to 3d clocks at times when I play that game.

I've thought of buying this game but can't get myself to do it with this online DRM.

Well there's a solution for the DRM. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

I agree. Its wasn't very well optimized. Did you play the game with 10.4a drivers? Supposedly the game runs better with 10.4a drivers than the official 10.4.

I'l probably wait for a hotfix the 10.4a's are a ****ing mess in reguards to scaling.

Probably i know on my gigabyte 5870 i'm getting like 60-100 fps fully cranked.
But gigabyte's 5870 is a real headcase of a mess, i can't play blu-rays due to the bios, and they disabled powerplay by accident too.

It has been proven by all of the efforts of DRM that it DOES NOT STOP PIRACY. If anything by creating these more and more intrusive DRM systems, they are ENCOURAGING the "russian punks" to crack it to claim the bragging rights. (Oh and FYI, every Russian I have ever met was very nice and courteous, not the "punk" you describe.) Please show me one, just one, game that has not been "cracked".


Cities XL? ^^



i do agree though, DRM these days is horrible.
its cracked very fast and very easy to distribute,

back in the day with just disk checks worked well, there is software to legaly bypass it as well.

Well to me if it has the DRM that AC2 has i will not buy it not even if there is a fully working patch for it. I just will not support the BS as if you buy it and crack it your still supporting the DRM though a sale.

With Splinter Cell: Conviction Doesn´t work ATI Eyefinity.
My best regards

ALL ubisoft games will come with that DRM it's a bs policy.

Well all i can say well done UBI already lost $180 from me lol. As it's a feature that peopple don't like rather than do like they lost a shi load of money over it.

Has UBI stocks dropped by much since this DRM started ? . I suppose we will see a better picture next year.

Then you better start fixing society and it's morals(probably a good idea to take over the internet while you're at it), because it's not the place of a business to have to curb it's methods in order to meet YOUR demands.

Besides, plenty of people will still buy it - specifically because it DOES have DRM that they cannot be bothered to wait around for some russian punks to crack.


Assassins Creed II dropped into pirates' laps before it even hit the shelves; if not for the extended waiting period on a working 'crack,' they actually made some more money than they would have from legitimate customers.

And ultimately, before you giveup on trying to untangle the knot in your panties, consider that you could buy the game, wait for a crack/emulation and then play that. You won't have DRM/disc/install limits, you won't have to be connected to the internet and any of the other excuses that we keep hearing.

I assume that by "russian punks" you mean pirates, and these pirates could be spanish, english, americans or chinese; I'm not russian but what do you have against them? :shadedshu

 

[claylomax]

Is this DRM the same that came with the "successful" Silent Hunter 5?

 

[EastCoasthandle]

Why is this game $60? I keep forgetting that this game cost more.:shadedshu
I'll wait until it goes on sale. I'm not paying that much for a PC game.

Did you try it out? People have given some bad responses about it.

 

[Hockster]

Eyefinity looks like hell. Everything looks stretched, not at all natural. Runs even worse. I had to run complete minimum settings to barely get 30FPS.
