Seems the game is out in Australia and TweakGuides has written a pretty lengthy article about the DRM in action. Besides needing an internet connection, it doesn't really seem that bad and it says that "these saves [for AC2] can be stored online or on your drive depending on your preferences."

Read it here: http://www.tweakguides.com/AC2_1.html

Some gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00vT734svtk

He ends it with somewhat ominous tone and I hope it doesn't come to pass. I would like to PC game at least well into old age! =D In any case I will be buying the game and have it already reserved so I'll also provide some info to see what the "average PC gamer" should expect. As for the visuals, it looks pretty much the same with some very slight enhancements. If you ran AC1 well, AC2 should be no problem.

Also, no more of this "Ubisoft sucks!" or "This DRM sucks!" I've seen 20 page threads of this already. If you're not getting the game due to the DRM, just say that.

I'm not getting the game due to DRM on PC. But if I see it cheap for consoles I might get it for that.

Good to hear my saves will be stored on my hardisk but i wont be able to play the game without being connected to internet. I just hope there wont be any antivirus problems, eg antivirus thinking that ac2 is a spyware. An extreme case, but thats not what really prevents me. What prevents me is that my internet connection is configured to disconnect when i dont use the internet and i have to login and connect wherever i wanna use it. I just hope i wont find myself getting disconected every now and then. Its an extreme case but possible. Anyway it does not seem that bad after all. Also he says he had no problems but he has a monster rig, i wonder if there be issues on lesser rigs. Anyway i wont be buying the console version yet. I will wait till someone can confirm that it looks better than the console version and its a worthy port, plus that it does take such high requirements to run or make it look good. (Seriously the pc used in the video is a monster rig)
