Wait, as it has been said a few times here: do not support SF by buying it. If Ubi experiences a boost in sales of SF protected games, you will see more of them soon.

You know, on alot of the forums recently, ppl have been flaming others over SC3 as most u can tell, a highly anticipated game. While having 60 posts askin/bitchin about when the game is gunna come out is stupid, i dont think asking least once a day whats the deal?
I have always thought that the main groups should have some type of lastet update portal, whether it be a guy(s) who posts on certain forums or irc chan or something. From time to time ive seen on various boards someone saying a game is gunna hit the pre's in like 30 mins or something, and it really does.
Obviously someone has some kinda info
I mean, with all the ppl who use the internet for this purpose and post in forums, some of em must actually be "l33t"...as in they have access to topsites and or know the group who is cracking the release...not likely mind u, but its still a possibility and ive seen it
just my thought

just successfully made a backup of my splinter cell copy and it works fine even after i patched the game to vers.1.1- would be interesting to know if it also works when an alc. image is made from a mounted iso rip plus the offered mds file what can be found on www.copybase.ch. I'll check that out tomorrow and let you know...
I created my mds (high precision) with 1x speed and burned the image 4x. Afterwards I used starforce nightmare to disable my ata devices and put my backup in a usb 2.0 Toshiba 1712 device and did the reg hack. Works like a charm so far. By the way: mounting doesn't work for me and i encountered a weird problem when i tried to make a mds the first time; Starforce seemed to interfere and the progress didn't want to pass ~13%. I disabled the starforce service in my task manager and the problem was gone.
I uploaded my mds here for those who doesn't have the opportunity to create a good mds by themselfes due to incapable drives:

Nun, so soll es denn sein!

reiche mir Panzer und Gebein!
Zerschmettern will ich mit Hass!
Ich, das schwarze Nass!!!

i refuse to buy it, outta principle...dont wanna contribute to SF...like someone said earlier, if UBI notices sales of SF protected games are considerbly higher than those of SD,SR etc, most companies are gunna opt to use starforce and they technology is only gunna get more sophisticated...From what ive been reading, supposing one of the main groups got the game monday or tuesday (thats when it went on sale in sweden), they prolly cracked the game and are prolly now playing through it to make sure its complete. I seriously think it should be out anytime now..but then again, maybe its just wishfull thinking.
IE
You can install the game fine, run the game fine. But then, u get to the second last level, and u need a key card to get through some door and because of sf, the key was removed when the protection was removed, thus not allowing you to continue the game...I'd be way more pissed if that happened, than having to wait.
Just hang on boys, im sure its being cracked/finished as we speak (or should i say post?).

I truly hope you're right. I just might wait till next friday, but if it isn't out by then, I will run to the nearest store and buy it.

Even if you don't buy it you think companies are still going to use out dated protection methods? Games that use protection like securom, or safedisk tend to be easy to crack if you think about it. Groups crack the game the same day it comes out in stores, so I've always thought if they can crack it so fast, they might as well not use any protection. This is why companies have started to use protection like SF. Whining and bitching about companies that use better protection is pointless because their laughing their ass off at you because they then know their doing something right. All you want is a free game. Look at it from their point of view, their protecting their investment and for that I congratulate them. Quality games like Splinter Cell are a rarity these days and should be supported. Even if you plan to buy it when it hits the bargin bins. That's when I plan on buying it.

how is it a lame excuse?
Its not an excuse, its my fuckin reason
and I dont care about coop and vs
only the single player mission
I dont need to play the fuckin thing bad enough to buy it, I can live without SC3, really.
and trust, i have the money...but really, how many times can u play sc? sc1 and sc2 are collecting dust for me now
You know what would make shell out money for games? Say with SC3, u play the single player, beat and all that. U know, u fuck around with coop and shit but that gets boring. What ubi should do is find a way so say every month u get like a new story line + levels...obviously, they would have to work with a template and the game would remain the same at its core - but say one month, ur in iraq, next month ur in North Korea, iran etc
that shit would be worth spending money on for sure
Sc3 like all the previous titles have little to no replay value...to bad companies dont focus on that anymore, replay value...games ive bought this/last year, NHL 05, Madden 05, MLb 05, NBa 05 etc
Im not a big sports fanatic, but fuck, if i wanna chill and just play a game, I can pick up any of those titles and play em over and over and over, and never quite have the exact same experience...know what i mean?
Kinda pisses me off that i bought Metal gear 3 come to think of it.....

I agree, they should be supported and i would do the same thing. What I wouldnt do is charge a fuckin arm and a leg for a game that is only really gunna be played once, maybe twice.
Of course ur gunna get the multiplayer freaks, but most ppl are gunna buy it for the single player aspect which has no replay value.
Price the game at say $24.99 and I would buy it hands down as most can afford to lose 30 bucks. But when a game retails for 69.99 (thats what it is here, Toronto) (some places have it for 59.99) that i cant play the shit out of or that i may not like, i have no reason to make the rich, richer...and game devs arent hurting for money...the big games like sc3...fuck, devs make 100K plus easy (the ones workin on the game as they are prolly more talented than say the Soldner devs lol). When I make 100K a year, I will support them, until then, 69.99 is my cell phone bill.... |

you are right in every aspect SycoShaman, but in my case i have no choice, because of my shitty country i have to dl stuff. (high retail prices, no stock).
lets take for example HL2 its a great game with a great marketing personal, the guys behind VALVe manage the HL2 title too good and they managed to sell it here in Mexico like 5 days after official release date in USA.
Why is this shit not happening with Splinter Cell 3? seriously i dont know. but if pisses me of cuz i really want to play it (legit or not).
I hope is rlsd by some grup before monday. i have the money now to order it from a guy at ebay.com so... lets wait 2 more days.
im outtie.

There is no thing in whole world that can force to buy SC:TC (at least until about July).
You know why?
Because I don't have DVD drive 
I have even orginal SC:PT DVD which was bundled with my graphic card, but I still had to download cd version to play it

Im not bitching man, just discussing
But its true, the jealousy thing...lol over a videogame
a woman...maybe
Buying the game is cool, but if u buy it cuz ur impatient, well, i think its a lil dumb cuz when the next big game comes out, ur gunna have to go out and buy that one too as the companies will have devoted more money into workin protections
The whole impatient thing, I did with Punisher..waited 2 days and it still didnt come out, bought it, came home, installed it. Before I went to play I checked nforce and what did i find? Hlm released the punisher...kicked my own ass for that one...theres another game im never going to play again |

Multiplayer looks to be awesome for this. I might buy it just for that aspect.

so i'm agreed with SycoShaman
with SC3 10 hours to finish it and only 4 co-op mission 
it's for that i love role playing game... i buy Sacred and i play it again and again in co-op or single
however i don't like to download games, terminate them, love them but don't buy them...
i think the better way for me to be in the legality with such game with poor lifespan is to buy games in budget prices or on ebay ("acheter d'occasion" in french)... So i don't give my money to company (or much less) but i have always original games...
sorry for my poor english  |
only 10 hours 2 finish the game ?!?!?!?!
so maybe i wont buy it now |
