Really immersive game
1.) I live in Germany where the internet connection is shaky at best. I have had one problem with the anti-piracy software. I couldn't log on for about 10 minutes, then it was fine. No other problems.
2.) This game is very very large in terms of completing all the objectives (sidequests) and it does a pretty good job of keeping things new. The feather catching is a bit excessive, but the tombs were cool and it is nice to get a reward for completing side quests.
3.) The game looks really good, the game plays pretty good control-wise. The missions are pretty neat, it is entertaining. I miss some of the stealth that took part in the first one. There are a few missions where the combat takes over instead of stealth.
In conclusion:
If you steal games, wait till someone figures out how to get past the anti-piracy. If not, I don't think it changes the game experience at all. To rate a game, bash a company. because they don't want people to steal their product is your choice. However, what you are doing is silly in my opinion. Yeah, what kind of company doesn't want people to steal their games!
