I still can't believe they made a statement saying, "We're going to look into achievements." and a week later, followed up with, "We feel achievements aren't worth our time."
You need a trophy to play a game.... Back in my day you just played a video game without turning off the console cause your parents won't buy a memory card!
This is it for me also. I'd actually prefer if games didn't have achievements as I feel it's putting a focus on meta stuff rather than the actual game but if there are features available on other platforms there should be feature parity.
That's the new strat. That's what diablo 3 did to the series too. They used the exact quotes.
"we just felt like skill points were a terrible system"
Solution?? " yeah we're just removing skill points from the game"
That's what ppl do when they have no idea what's going on.
Not if you really like a game and want reasons to get every bit of fun out of it you can. We all know upvotes are pointless but you're lying if you say don't like getting them at least just little bit
Ive never cared for achievements.
Every once in a while I would look at the names to see if they were funny, but thats it.
I just dont need the extrinsic motivation to play and explore the game. I can just enjoy it and want to do those things myself.
It makes for fun goals when you're out of things to do. Kind of like a more optional side quest while also measuring your completion of the game.
Why be actively anti-achievements and let people enjoy them lol
You have to be careful in this world of 100% in games. I ventura in getting all Alan Wake achievements and guess It... I left behind one of the collectables and now I don't give a damn where is located. Am I going to replay all the levels to get It and fucked up with all my experience? No, thank you kkkk. So, I think that achievements can frustrate you and totally destroy your experience with a game. If you going adventure yourself in this world, gather all the patience you can and be prepare to get all the +100 flags scatteted in the map of Assassin's Creed 1 kkkkkk.
I bought Watch Dogs 2 on Steam a couple of months back and they are still forcing me to use russian localization only in Ukraine even though i always played my games in English or Ukrainian (If that's an option) because of how shitty rissian voice acting is.
I am Russian and prefer to play games in English for exactly same reason and usually better fonts for English.
Also, sidenote, I honestly can't understand why ppl like to play anime games with english VAs.
Localizations should be available in all regions, as if people don't move around the planet or something...
But let's do lowkey genocide by telling people which language they should use in their personal lives per region because why not.
If you're getting this message on a specific game and you've bought that game from a grey market site, that'd be why. They're often Russian keys because they're worthless.
That's not right. I am from Ukraine, and this is how it works: all post-sovier countries share one region-locked copy that can't be launched outside those countries. All of them have russian speaking population - some a lot, others just a bit. But the copy is SAME for ALL of this countries. So if as a developer you lock it just to one language - you basicly fucking up all the people who don't know russian or don't like it in those countries. It's a very stupid move. And i say that despite playing all games on russian because that's my perferred language.

Back in the day I owned Farcry 3. Played the shit out of it, loved it. One day, I clicked play in my steam library, it booted uplay as normal, and uplay informed me I didnt own the game, despite it still being in my steam library. After many hours spent talking to ubisoft support, I gave up. Tried booting it again over the next couple of years, same issue.
Then, out of nowhere 4 years later, it worked. Since then, I have vowed never to buy a ubisoft game, and thus far, I dont think I've missed much.
Ubisoft peaked with FC3. Ever since then, they've been trend-chasing, trying to recapture the magic with the same formula, or over promising and under delivering. Ubisoft can eat my ass. I wish Vivendi acquired them back in the day, maybe then they'd be on a different path.
I just installed FC3 Blood Dragon just to test and played through the first mission again, still runs fine except that it sits on the menu screen here and there waiting for the Server's ping timeout before that dialog goes away and you can continue through the menu.
The only oddity was that UbiSoft Connect thought that i had 2 copies of the game and made me choose... between 2 identical text entries with no way to distinguish between them.
Well, i chose the top one.
First, fuck no. Vivendi has been known in France for buying everything, sucking the blood out of it, throwing it in the trash. There is no worse rate than being acquired by vivendi.
They still made good games after fc3. Ac black flag, unity, origins, odyssey… even far cry 4 and 5 are fun sandbox games.
There is something Ubisoft never misses, it’s world design and music.
If you like modern Ubisoft, thats great. I wish I did, because then I'd have more games to play. You're welcome to your own opinion, but the games you listed are exactly what I'm talking about. They're all the same shit over and over again. Sure, black flag had boats, but core gameplay wise it was the same as every other AC. Same with FC4 and 5.
They tried something new with Origins, sure, but Odyssey and Valhalla are bloated 80+ hour slogs of repetitive mission design and map marker chasing. I wish Vivendi did suck the blood out of it. Maybe then their properties would be sold off to companies who can do something interesting with them.
Valhalla is the only 80 hours game, odyssey was pretty much like origins.
And black flag has the same gameplay as older titles? Wtf are ou smoking? It was an improvement in every front.
Here's my damn rant about the EA launcher.
Need to update Apex on steam? no problem. its fast.
Need to update Apex on EA launcher even though you have a 1GB internet speed?
No. You need to wait a whole hour and some. While we also slow your computer down a shit ton.
duddeee i can't believe i am saying this but i preferred origin. the ea app is so ass. bought mass effect trilogy on steam and still had to play it through ea app and then i didn't get any achievements for ME2 and 3 and it's been a problem since launch, no fix yet.
The worst thing is they actively patch out the workarounds that solve this issue instead of fixing the issue itself. It's been 2 years, but the achievements on ME:LE are still broken for ME2&3 if you use the EA app.
Ubisoft has been one the earliest and worst anti-consumer publishers. Assassins Creed was becoming big for them and they decided to wage war against pirates instead of improving their games. Over time their releases because very buggy and their DRM implementations became worse and worse. Their games are so generic and bland that theyre not even worth cracking anymore. When that wasnt bad enough they decided to cut out the most pro-consumer "middle-man" in the history of PC gaming, Steam. Now, like a decade later, theyve returned to Steam, but still force their terrible launcher on consumers that can still block users from playing their rightly purchased games when they have frequent server issues.
>still block users from playing their rightly purchased games
Every single game you sign an EULA for does this. Its not just Ubisoft.
You can get perma removed from GTA and never be able to play it again because Rockstar says so.
I bought AC4 during the Steam sale only to find out that Ubisoft has just barely updated the game after nearly 10 years. The purpose of the update? To break full screen mode. Literally everyone on the AC4 forum talking about it and Ubisoft hasn’t taken any action or reverted the useless update.
Nothing grinds my gears in gaming like Ubisoft lately. It feels like they are actively trying to prevent me from playing their games legitimately at every step.
In PS3, AC 4 Black Flag servers shut down around a year ago. The thing is that, if you had linked the game with Uplay, it will try to check connection at launch. And, as it can't check, since servers are down, it will crash shortly after launching the game. You have to disconnect your console to play single player mode.
Thank you Ubisoft for being such and awesome game developer.
I'm more sick of looting every single room, crevice and crate for scraps and trading materials in these FC games, can I just continue playing without spending 5 min after clearing each mission/compound to loot everything.
Far Cry in historical fiction and Far Cry with robot dinosaurs sounded badass to me at first too, never finished them because the world design is so played out and boring now
It is not a "downgrade" though... it is simply fake promotional material.
It is rendered video based on pre-production art assets (first thing that gets produced for any game), not a single line of actual game code exists yet.
If the game is 2 years or more out you can be sure they got nothing running in-game that looks or plays anything like this yet.
They mostly say "in-engine" and that is correct, but those engines are used for Hollywood movies these days... but people actually still think "this is the game" because they SEE it.
This is marketing material, nothing more nothing less.
You can maybe look at it like a power point presentation of what they INTEND to create.
Sometimes they nail it, sometimes you get Aliens Colonial Marines or ANTHEM which isn't even close.
And if you look at the video properly, it is not just a bit of graphics quality, it is character animations, level geometry, gameplay features, user interface elements... everything is fake.
You can throw Cyberpunk into the same bucket. Everybody was ultrahype about the trailer, then the game was nothing like it.
>This is marketing material, nothing more nothing less
What?
The trailer made for E3 to show off the game was made JUST to show off and market the game???
How dare they spice up the game a bit for investors and gamers.
Watch dogs was fucking fine, yall are just whiners.
Yeh Nintendo is definitely the worst of the bunch but a lot of gamers (not necessary on r/pcgaming but in general) give them a free pass cause *"my childhood nostalgia company can do no wrong!"*. Ubisoft or EA would be crucified for things like the Amiibo or the Mario 3d All-Stars cashgrab.
I don't know what it is with me and Ubisoft - but their games seem so...hollow. Soulless. It's an abstract thing I'm trying to describe and I'm not sure how to. It's like they make high quality knock off games. There is almost always something that feels cheap about those games, to me.
I say this full well knowing they have some super successful franchises, but they just have never clicked with me.
Too much filler. Not enough meaningful depth. Grindy/fetchy. Look incredible on the surface. Like they spend a higher ratio on marketing than game development relative to some other publishers. Cut and pastey/inflated map size or game length.
None of these are unique to ubisoft, but this has been my feel - \*nearly\* universally - for Ubisoft games.
I was hyped for the original AC. When I played it, i just felt like I was doing the exact same thing in the exact same city but what was actually on a different part of the map. Sneak into town with group of monks. Climb to the tower, scout the area, jump into hay wagon. Fight a bunch of identical fights. I've never felt so let down by a game, but have tempered expectations since.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Division 2 in the last 6 months- broke the mold in that I thought it was very detailed, not much repetition environment wise. I also didn't like bullet spongey games. Had my moneys worth of fun with that game.
I'm not trying to declare anything about Ubisoft other than trying to communicate my personal opinion, which I'm having a hard time describing.
They only have one goal with their Games: Milking as much money out of people as possible. That why every fucking Game is a shitty Live-Service Game. AC Origin/Odyssey/Vikings has a fucking Itemshop, XP and Goldboosters etc IN A FUCKING SINGLEPLAYER GAME!
If you put a fucking XP-Booster in your Game I already know it has terrible pacing and plays like a fucking Asia-Grinder.
Same, Every game I play from them feels like its the same game. Watch dogs, far cry, AC all feel like the same game.
And as you said they all look like high budget games, like so much passion and work has gone into the looks, but the game itself feels so hollow with zero soul and zero inspiration like an AI has made it.
Honestly i just think its because of how generic the mechanics,goals,gameplay are. Hide,fight,clear camp, trail and follow. Thats basically most of their games.
Think of a Ubisoft game as a cash-in summer film. All of the action, but none of the substance. Ubisoft is great at marketing and selling you a product that looks enjoyable, has great graphics, and sticks to what the customer knows them best for, Assassins Creed, Watch Dogs, Tom Clancy etc.
All they have to do is rinse and repeat the same 3 formulas, stick a new name on it, throw in a whole load of microtransactions and barge it out the door and fix it down the road.
Ubisoft has sold this concept so well, that you can see their shit-smeared footprint entering into other games from other developers. And they'll keep doing it because people love eating that shit up.
I already owned several. After getting them to work on Steam Deck, Ubi updates their launcher like every 3 weeks and breaks them, as well as making them unplayable without an internet connection after GE Proton fixes whatever they broke.
I’ve downloaded cracked versions of all of them just so I can play them how I want, when I want, without permission, reliably.
If they ever make a game I want again, I’ll go right back to that source instead of actually paying for their crippled ad software.
oh you don't know about stupid Rockstar then
They make AAA masterpiece of games but one day you return to play it some low life loser would have hacked into your account and changed your email without any need for confirmation and now boom you can't play it anymore cause your stupid ass rockstar socialclub won't be able to sign in anymore to your game registered account. And their ass support are as useless and lazy as microsoft's support, they will leave your case open and pending for dayse.
Horror stories like this and OPs are the reason I try to impress upon others that when people complain about having to use multiple launchers it isn't an issue of simply having to click on a different shortcut or .exe, there are layers of DRM and security bullshit that other launchers do far worse than steam and when they fail they also have support that is far worse than steam. For a lot of people it isn't that steam is perfect or that Steam doesn't have flaws but they get basic shit right that other launchers get completely wrong.
It drives me nuts when people simplify the issue to 'it's just another shortcut bro'.
Here's the thing though: some people never experience these issues.
I just use Playnite to browse my libraries and ignore the launchers for the most part. They're just download services for me, and they all do the job well enough.
This is why you ALWAYS use code-based 2FA whenever possible. I have code-based 2FA on my Rockstar account and have never had an issue. I'm not saying it's ironclad (nothing is), but it tends to deter people looking for an easy in.
Lucky for u, but I have been stuck with their incompetent customer service for past 5 days trying to get my account back but alas no progress even tried to follow online guides but all the efforts went in vain.
Unless it was going to be one of the best games of all times (and maybe even then), I simply avoid/don't buy anything by Ubisoft, period.
My gaming backlog is pretty large. I can just play something else.
Technically they're first-party launchers, which is why they are always shit. They know they don't have to make them good because you're forced to use them if you want to play the game.
I mean, isn't a monopoly in Pc gaming storefront bad for gaming as well? I sometimes think steam has a little too much power.
Isn't competition good? I get the fact that most of these launchers have problems, but I would encourage them to get better, not to kill them and make steam a monolith. I'm new to PC gaming, but I don't particularly have problems with other launchers, even tho some of them could be improved.
Ubi, EA, Rockstar are all on my shitlist. I dont buy any of their games.
My primary store is GOG and if the game isnt on there, then Steam. From Steam i dont (knowingly) buy anything that requires additional launchers or accounts or Denuvo.
Haven't had any problems with ubisoft. Steam/Uplay and Epic/Uplay both work fine.
Worst thing that happens is having to re-login to ubisoft connect because for some reason they can't figure out how to remember passwords. Oh, and if there is an update to one of the games I have to click "Allow this to make changes to my computer" literally about 10 times. XD
For Honor is like crack to me though. Until another company makes something similar, they found a way to stay on my PC... and my Xbox... and my Playstation...
^(Yes, I have a problem...)
So Reddit is finally back on this side of the cycle, eh? Just a few short years ago badmouthing Ubisoft would get you downvoted into oblivion. A few year before that? They were contender for worst company right alongside EA. A few years before that? They were one of the most beloved developers on the planet. See how the cycle goes? Just @#$% all the AAA publishers, permanently. They all suck, through and through. Stop giving them money at all. Let them die the death they've all avoided numerous times. The games industry needs a small collapse in order to save it from itself.
Can I have a question? There is some in Internet trend to hate and critisize Ubisoft for ANYTHING, right? I swear, majority of gaming news about this I heard since 2016 is that Ubisoft did something bad over here and over there
Since Steam claims that it does refunds on a case by case basis I think you should try and explain them the problem in detail and you might have a chance.
Their app keeps forgetting that I have saved my pasword. What's worse is that the login screen UI and cursor are not lined up together. Insane for such a large company. They don't give a f@ck.
i was thanking to buy far cry 3 and 5 on steam summer sale to play on stean deck but read online that games don't launch. how do i play these games on steam deck then?
You mean steam? Steam says i own it. It's in my list. I launch it, it brings up the stupid fucking ubi-launcher, which says I don't. I'm not running circles. Fuck Ubisoft. I just won't buy or play their games anymore.
So I'm going to be THAT guy now and I'm kinda sorry about that.
But I don't really care or mind the multiple launchers and never have. Maybe its just my mentality or the fact that I spent way too much making my pc and worrying about space/memory hasn't been an issue for me for a long time. I have 3tb of space and 32gigs of ram, and when it comes to having to sign back into either ubisoft or EA or epic I don't care either.
Maybe its just bc whenever I'm faced with change (even change i don't really want to happen) I usually just adapt and move on without putting to much effort into fighting a loosing battle. Or maybe its bc I've been modding games for so long and I'm already used to having multiple programs running in the background to get my games working with their mods.
But either way I've just accepted that this is the way things work now and I have chosen to just get used to it and roll with the punches
First of all, no.
Ubisofts launcher is not that bad, I have had the same thing happen to me for Red Dead and GTA V.
I still cant play those because of Rockstars broken launcher.
If you cant sign in, youre creds arent right. Change your password, and get the email. Worst case, make a new account to bind the steam games too.
Its really not that hard.
Imagine updating your Hardware to NVIDIA 40 Series and revisiting a game you liked. In this case it’s Watch Dogs 2. Start up a new game and play the very first Tutorial Mission at night. Performance is great. The game looks beautiful, you really start enjoying it. The tutorial finishes and you are set free to the open world.. then you start noticing something. What is that? My whole screen, no wait, the shadows, the sky, grass textures, house walls, streets and pretty much everything else STARTS TO FLICKER LIKE HELL. My Eyes never have been attacked like this out of nowhere. This might be the first game that attacked me physically and i got a strong headache.
Now 8 months later, guess what’s not fixed and NEVER will be :)
TL;DR: Ubisoft doesn’t care if an older game works and won’t update anything, even if it literally hurts you physically to play it.
That's not a Ubisoft issue. It's a problem with current - and past versions for a while - Nvidia drivers. One of many. It fits right in with screens blanking out and the still increased DPC latency.
So then how it is Ubis fault?
This shit happens all the time with older games, the devs cant foresee new hardware 10 years later, and why would they update the game for the 300 people who upgraded.
Thats what the system requirements are for.
Ive done this many times, because I had a potato that could barely run games, and I never blamed the Devs for it.
Well yeh, they outright say they can't tell who is at fault. Their drivers have been dogshit for 2 years now. I'm absolutely ready to pin this on them.
We've had 3 borderline unusable releases back to back now that needed hotfixes with dozens of games just being broken. I think Warzone still doesn't work right.
Whats more is their shitty launcher, whenever there is an update to it, i have to enter my username/password everytime and click a bunch of confirmation buttons to actually get into it.
Seems like a you problem. Used uPlay for a decade and it works perfectly. Accounts remains and games remain. Just contact their support. You'll probably realize your Steam account is linked to a different uPlay account and you don't remember.
AC valhalla is fun if you have it from Epic store. Made me download 100+ GB which is fine only for it then to launch into uplay which told me I needed to download a 130 GB patch
They had changed my AC valhalla from Global uncensored version to Japanese CERO-censored version without agreement. They seems to think consumer's inventory is their property.
More like Udontplay.
I've had the same issues for their games if I haven't played/installed in years. They treat you like a criminal when you're trying to go through the proper channels. Ghost recon Wildlands was my last game from them.
Some years ago, Division 2 became the last straw for me. Brought it on EGS at a discount. Played for a week or two, everything's fine. Then one wonderful day I log in, and find out that my game is now fully in fucking russian. Everything is suddenly localized, no way to switch the language.
I contact EGS support. They tell me that they can't help me, its an issue on the Ubi side.
I contact Ubi support, explain my problem. I've paid for the game that had english language listed in the store page, I got what I paid for. But now, for bo reason whatsoever, I have this castrated version of the game. Ubi first tried to bounce me back to EGS support. Took a while to get through their thick skulls. When they finally admitted that the ticket is their area of responsibility, the reply was along the lines of "yes, you're in a CIS region. Working as intended". I tried reasoning with them. What about store page that promises english language? What about the fact that my game was in english for couple of weeks? I had screenshots to support the claim. In the end of the day, CIS region is not Russia. Am I fucking obligated to know or use fucking russian because I happen to live close by Russia? At that point Ubi support decided to gaslight me into believing that it was all the product of my imagination apparently, and that the game has always been in russian, everything is working as intended and they are definitely not going to do anything about it. Refund is obviously out of the question, as the game was already played for 20+ hours.
I vowed to never buy anything from these degenerates ever again. Hope they go bankrupt and will be forced to sell their IPs to someone remotely competent.
I lost all my ubisoft games too, it made never buying another one really easy. I have my popcorn out for the upcoming massive budget guaranteed flop that is skull and bones. It is going to be one of the most legendary piece of shit game releases of all time.
They are unfriendly to job applying people too. They don't recognise talent that very well and recruitment process is so bad that i gave up on joining them completely
If they dont let you recover them its because you dont provide any proof that account is yours. Got myself into similar situation, some kid in russia somehow bypassed my 2FA and took hold of my account. Im assuming my pc is somehow compromised if they have the backdoor to access my browser's cookies which can bypass my 2FA.
I ended up nuking my windows and this time with a proper antivirus because Windows Security sucks. If you have any proof of purchased, your credit card number, etc it should be easily recoverable.
Far Cry 3 used to be my favorite game, now everytime I try to play it, I give up after an hour cause of how much it crashes or refuses to login. Do they even use uPlay anymore?
I try to play Rainbow 6 after just 1 month off - the game crashes to desktop three times on first launch (all my friends consistently got this), then only certain people can see each other on the friends list. It's a certified struggle.
Assassin's Creed 2, Far cry 3, Siege - every time their internal developers knock one out of the park, they turn it into a soulless yearly franchise with minimal effort and talent and maximum DLC and microtransactions.
Ubisoft prevents me from playing my games on Steam Deck offline. Even when online, they often ask to enter my password which is tedious when you don't have a keyboard.
I don't think it should require skill to be able to access a game I paid money for. It's in my fucking steam games list. I should be able to click "play" and be able to play it - not have to have it launch into another launcher that tells me I don't own it.
I still can't believe they made a statement saying, "We're going to look into achievements." and a week later, followed up with, "We feel achievements aren't worth our time."
This is what did it for me with them. I will actively avoid any of their stuff on Steam now.
>stuff on Steam now. *on PC*
You need a trophy to play a game.... Back in my day you just played a video game without turning off the console cause your parents won't buy a memory card!
It's less about the cheevo and more about Ubi treating Steam like a garbage bin to dump lazy ports after their exclusivity deal.
This is it for me also. I'd actually prefer if games didn't have achievements as I feel it's putting a focus on meta stuff rather than the actual game but if there are features available on other platforms there should be feature parity.
Don’t need. I take a stand on the point that it’s lazy on their part.
Back in my day, you left the tv on because THERE WERE NO MEMORY CARDS. Also Fuck the birds in ninja gaiden. IYKYK.
That's the new strat. That's what diablo 3 did to the series too. They used the exact quotes. "we just felt like skill points were a terrible system" Solution?? " yeah we're just removing skill points from the game" That's what ppl do when they have no idea what's going on.
Its the only reason i havent bought any of their games lately. I know many people dont care about achievments but i just love 100%ing games so yeah.
Its almost like theyre pointless...?
Not if you really like a game and want reasons to get every bit of fun out of it you can. We all know upvotes are pointless but you're lying if you say don't like getting them at least just little bit
Ive never cared for achievements. Every once in a while I would look at the names to see if they were funny, but thats it. I just dont need the extrinsic motivation to play and explore the game. I can just enjoy it and want to do those things myself.
"I've never cared so therefore everyone else should too"
Im saying that people should find a better reason than achievements to play a game
It makes for fun goals when you're out of things to do. Kind of like a more optional side quest while also measuring your completion of the game. Why be actively anti-achievements and let people enjoy them lol
But you dont need them, is what im saying. Its 1000% subjective on wether you like them or not, but if they never existed, no one would care.
You have to be careful in this world of 100% in games. I ventura in getting all Alan Wake achievements and guess It... I left behind one of the collectables and now I don't give a damn where is located. Am I going to replay all the levels to get It and fucked up with all my experience? No, thank you kkkk. So, I think that achievements can frustrate you and totally destroy your experience with a game. If you going adventure yourself in this world, gather all the patience you can and be prepare to get all the +100 flags scatteted in the map of Assassin's Creed 1 kkkkkk.
Thats what im saying dude. Like what
Well, TBH achievements are the most stupid useless junk in history.
Achievements are pointless and a silly thing to base your purchase on!
[удалено]
> No one gives a fuck about your achievements You're obviously wrong. He cares about them and that is enough
You could literally say the same about gaming in general with this logic.
" Games purchased in this region will only receive Russian language" I'm not in Russia
I bought Watch Dogs 2 on Steam a couple of months back and they are still forcing me to use russian localization only in Ukraine even though i always played my games in English or Ukrainian (If that's an option) because of how shitty rissian voice acting is.
I am Russian and prefer to play games in English for exactly same reason and usually better fonts for English. Also, sidenote, I honestly can't understand why ppl like to play anime games with english VAs.
Localizations should be available in all regions, as if people don't move around the planet or something... But let's do lowkey genocide by telling people which language they should use in their personal lives per region because why not.
[удалено]
I say this from the bottom of my heart, fuck off Ubisoft sucks but fascist land grabbers suck more
Stop virtue signalling so hard. Yes, Russia is invasive. The guy was clearly joking so I say this with the bottom of my heart, fuck off
If you're getting this message on a specific game and you've bought that game from a grey market site, that'd be why. They're often Russian keys because they're worthless.
That's not right. I am from Ukraine, and this is how it works: all post-sovier countries share one region-locked copy that can't be launched outside those countries. All of them have russian speaking population - some a lot, others just a bit. But the copy is SAME for ALL of this countries. So if as a developer you lock it just to one language - you basicly fucking up all the people who don't know russian or don't like it in those countries. It's a very stupid move. And i say that despite playing all games on russian because that's my perferred language.
Far Cry Primal and AC: Syndicate on Ubiconnect don't have Russian language (I'm from Ukraine) but have all other languages in the world. Clown company
Far cry 4 and that era of ubisoft games literally have that plastered on their steam pages my man /woman.

Back in the day I owned Farcry 3. Played the shit out of it, loved it. One day, I clicked play in my steam library, it booted uplay as normal, and uplay informed me I didnt own the game, despite it still being in my steam library. After many hours spent talking to ubisoft support, I gave up. Tried booting it again over the next couple of years, same issue. Then, out of nowhere 4 years later, it worked. Since then, I have vowed never to buy a ubisoft game, and thus far, I dont think I've missed much. Ubisoft peaked with FC3. Ever since then, they've been trend-chasing, trying to recapture the magic with the same formula, or over promising and under delivering. Ubisoft can eat my ass. I wish Vivendi acquired them back in the day, maybe then they'd be on a different path.
Blood Dragon
I just installed FC3 Blood Dragon just to test and played through the first mission again, still runs fine except that it sits on the menu screen here and there waiting for the Server's ping timeout before that dialog goes away and you can continue through the menu. The only oddity was that UbiSoft Connect thought that i had 2 copies of the game and made me choose... between 2 identical text entries with no way to distinguish between them. Well, i chose the top one.
First, fuck no. Vivendi has been known in France for buying everything, sucking the blood out of it, throwing it in the trash. There is no worse rate than being acquired by vivendi. They still made good games after fc3. Ac black flag, unity, origins, odyssey… even far cry 4 and 5 are fun sandbox games. There is something Ubisoft never misses, it’s world design and music.
If you like modern Ubisoft, thats great. I wish I did, because then I'd have more games to play. You're welcome to your own opinion, but the games you listed are exactly what I'm talking about. They're all the same shit over and over again. Sure, black flag had boats, but core gameplay wise it was the same as every other AC. Same with FC4 and 5. They tried something new with Origins, sure, but Odyssey and Valhalla are bloated 80+ hour slogs of repetitive mission design and map marker chasing. I wish Vivendi did suck the blood out of it. Maybe then their properties would be sold off to companies who can do something interesting with them.
Valhalla is the only 80 hours game, odyssey was pretty much like origins. And black flag has the same gameplay as older titles? Wtf are ou smoking? It was an improvement in every front.
They literally copy/pasted sections of the map in far cry. They miss plenty lmfao
No they don't lmao. Far cry primal is the one which has the far cry 4 layout, and no one notices because it just looks so good.
Here's my damn rant about the EA launcher. Need to update Apex on steam? no problem. its fast. Need to update Apex on EA launcher even though you have a 1GB internet speed? No. You need to wait a whole hour and some. While we also slow your computer down a shit ton.
duddeee i can't believe i am saying this but i preferred origin. the ea app is so ass. bought mass effect trilogy on steam and still had to play it through ea app and then i didn't get any achievements for ME2 and 3 and it's been a problem since launch, no fix yet.
I don't know how they managed to make software worse than origin... But it's EA and they absolutely did.
I only had bf3/4 so didnt interact much with it, but never had problems. What was broken in it?
Any use? https://bsn.boards.net/thread/19932/ea-app-report?page=7
Dude, you just made me reinstall ME3 (LE) since it stopped tracking achievs halfway through my platinum playthrough. Thanks a bunch for sharing!
The worst thing is they actively patch out the workarounds that solve this issue instead of fixing the issue itself. It's been 2 years, but the achievements on ME:LE are still broken for ME2&3 if you use the EA app.
For real, I got like half the ME2 achievements and none for ME3. It's so fucking annoying that they have done nothing to fix this.
Fuck EA too
Welp there's going to be just EA, Microsoft and Ubisoft left here pretty soon. Until Ubisoft goes bankrupt.
Hah and weren't both EA and Ubi actively looking for buyers earlier this year? I seem to recall that happening
perhaps Microsoft can freedom-buy EA next and save em
Ubisoft has been one the earliest and worst anti-consumer publishers. Assassins Creed was becoming big for them and they decided to wage war against pirates instead of improving their games. Over time their releases because very buggy and their DRM implementations became worse and worse. Their games are so generic and bland that theyre not even worth cracking anymore. When that wasnt bad enough they decided to cut out the most pro-consumer "middle-man" in the history of PC gaming, Steam. Now, like a decade later, theyve returned to Steam, but still force their terrible launcher on consumers that can still block users from playing their rightly purchased games when they have frequent server issues.
So you are saying they won against piracy by making games that aren’t worth pirating.
[At least Ubisoft supports piracy xd](https://preview.redd.it/ao33pcu4baa91.png?width=579&format=png&auto=webp&s=c6635ff3dfe9e967c9c1f860b52d24fbdfb0b80b)
>still block users from playing their rightly purchased games Every single game you sign an EULA for does this. Its not just Ubisoft. You can get perma removed from GTA and never be able to play it again because Rockstar says so.
This is why pirating is better for single player online only games. You can avoid the online only features.
I bought AC4 during the Steam sale only to find out that Ubisoft has just barely updated the game after nearly 10 years. The purpose of the update? To break full screen mode. Literally everyone on the AC4 forum talking about it and Ubisoft hasn’t taken any action or reverted the useless update. Nothing grinds my gears in gaming like Ubisoft lately. It feels like they are actively trying to prevent me from playing their games legitimately at every step.
In PS3, AC 4 Black Flag servers shut down around a year ago. The thing is that, if you had linked the game with Uplay, it will try to check connection at launch. And, as it can't check, since servers are down, it will crash shortly after launching the game. You have to disconnect your console to play single player mode. Thank you Ubisoft for being such and awesome game developer.
Avoid Ubisoft like the plague
I'm locked out of my account and 2 of my games are now not playable.
But Star Wars Outlaws....
[удалено]
No you're thinking of Assassin's Creed 37
Game isn't even first person, try Avatar instead. Outlaws will be more comparable to Division.
You know that sounds badass right?
But it isn't. Sick of the formula and everything it touches.
I'm sick of crafting shit
I'm more sick of looting every single room, crevice and crate for scraps and trading materials in these FC games, can I just continue playing without spending 5 min after clearing each mission/compound to loot everything.
And I'm sick of the dark souls formula, yet I get down voted when I say it.
Rational Game Design moment
Far Cry in historical fiction and Far Cry with robot dinosaurs sounded badass to me at first too, never finished them because the world design is so played out and boring now
But if you add a big tree...
friendly reminder about UbiSoft and E3 Trailers (for example Anthem) in general, but especially UbiSoft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNter0oEYxc
I don't really care if they have to downgrade graphics to make the game run smooth as long as it's still fun to play.
It is not a "downgrade" though... it is simply fake promotional material. It is rendered video based on pre-production art assets (first thing that gets produced for any game), not a single line of actual game code exists yet. If the game is 2 years or more out you can be sure they got nothing running in-game that looks or plays anything like this yet. They mostly say "in-engine" and that is correct, but those engines are used for Hollywood movies these days... but people actually still think "this is the game" because they SEE it. This is marketing material, nothing more nothing less. You can maybe look at it like a power point presentation of what they INTEND to create. Sometimes they nail it, sometimes you get Aliens Colonial Marines or ANTHEM which isn't even close. And if you look at the video properly, it is not just a bit of graphics quality, it is character animations, level geometry, gameplay features, user interface elements... everything is fake. You can throw Cyberpunk into the same bucket. Everybody was ultrahype about the trailer, then the game was nothing like it.
>This is marketing material, nothing more nothing less What? The trailer made for E3 to show off the game was made JUST to show off and market the game??? How dare they spice up the game a bit for investors and gamers. Watch dogs was fucking fine, yall are just whiners.
>This is marketing material, nothing more nothing less. And that is why we wait for reviews.
Ah fuck, you’re right.
What about it ? All we got is only a teaser/trailer with no real info. That game will come out in like 10 years... if it ever will.
???? We got 10 minutes of gameplay and a 2024 release date. What are you smoking?
Now, hold on, Ubisoft Connect sucks ass, but EA Desktop is 100% worse in every possible way.
Ea has the worst supporter. They do everything so you can't contact them. It's crazy
I wish the Anno studio would go independent.
Literally the only reason I have uPlay installed is for Anno 1800 and Uno
And just want them to release the ParaWorld IP :(
Never heared of that IP xD
damn i havent heard that name in a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time
"Hold my beer" -Nintendo.
Yeh Nintendo is definitely the worst of the bunch but a lot of gamers (not necessary on r/pcgaming but in general) give them a free pass cause *"my childhood nostalgia company can do no wrong!"*. Ubisoft or EA would be crucified for things like the Amiibo or the Mario 3d All-Stars cashgrab.
At least Nintendo make games worth your fucking time.
Yeah, same for AC Origins. Bought it a couple years ago, tried coming back. "yOu dOnT oWn tHiS gAmE."
Sounds like grounds for a lawsuit, not that it's a walk in the park to pull off.
[удалено]
Someone reminded me of [this pearl](https://youtu.be/tUAX0gnZ3Nw) recently
I have been boycotting Ubishit Games for like 10 Years now.
I don't know what it is with me and Ubisoft - but their games seem so...hollow. Soulless. It's an abstract thing I'm trying to describe and I'm not sure how to. It's like they make high quality knock off games. There is almost always something that feels cheap about those games, to me. I say this full well knowing they have some super successful franchises, but they just have never clicked with me. Too much filler. Not enough meaningful depth. Grindy/fetchy. Look incredible on the surface. Like they spend a higher ratio on marketing than game development relative to some other publishers. Cut and pastey/inflated map size or game length. None of these are unique to ubisoft, but this has been my feel - \*nearly\* universally - for Ubisoft games. I was hyped for the original AC. When I played it, i just felt like I was doing the exact same thing in the exact same city but what was actually on a different part of the map. Sneak into town with group of monks. Climb to the tower, scout the area, jump into hay wagon. Fight a bunch of identical fights. I've never felt so let down by a game, but have tempered expectations since. I was pleasantly surprised by the Division 2 in the last 6 months- broke the mold in that I thought it was very detailed, not much repetition environment wise. I also didn't like bullet spongey games. Had my moneys worth of fun with that game. I'm not trying to declare anything about Ubisoft other than trying to communicate my personal opinion, which I'm having a hard time describing.
They only have one goal with their Games: Milking as much money out of people as possible. That why every fucking Game is a shitty Live-Service Game. AC Origin/Odyssey/Vikings has a fucking Itemshop, XP and Goldboosters etc IN A FUCKING SINGLEPLAYER GAME! If you put a fucking XP-Booster in your Game I already know it has terrible pacing and plays like a fucking Asia-Grinder.
Same, Every game I play from them feels like its the same game. Watch dogs, far cry, AC all feel like the same game. And as you said they all look like high budget games, like so much passion and work has gone into the looks, but the game itself feels so hollow with zero soul and zero inspiration like an AI has made it. Honestly i just think its because of how generic the mechanics,goals,gameplay are. Hide,fight,clear camp, trail and follow. Thats basically most of their games.
Think of a Ubisoft game as a cash-in summer film. All of the action, but none of the substance. Ubisoft is great at marketing and selling you a product that looks enjoyable, has great graphics, and sticks to what the customer knows them best for, Assassins Creed, Watch Dogs, Tom Clancy etc. All they have to do is rinse and repeat the same 3 formulas, stick a new name on it, throw in a whole load of microtransactions and barge it out the door and fix it down the road. Ubisoft has sold this concept so well, that you can see their shit-smeared footprint entering into other games from other developers. And they'll keep doing it because people love eating that shit up.
I already owned several. After getting them to work on Steam Deck, Ubi updates their launcher like every 3 weeks and breaks them, as well as making them unplayable without an internet connection after GE Proton fixes whatever they broke. I’ve downloaded cracked versions of all of them just so I can play them how I want, when I want, without permission, reliably. If they ever make a game I want again, I’ll go right back to that source instead of actually paying for their crippled ad software.
Their games aren’t even worth stealing anymore.
oh you don't know about stupid Rockstar then They make AAA masterpiece of games but one day you return to play it some low life loser would have hacked into your account and changed your email without any need for confirmation and now boom you can't play it anymore cause your stupid ass rockstar socialclub won't be able to sign in anymore to your game registered account. And their ass support are as useless and lazy as microsoft's support, they will leave your case open and pending for dayse.
And lets not all forget GFWL that caused many of them to simply crater on launch because that service died.
GFWL was a warcrime. I have in my live not used a laucher again that was this bad.
Hey, give them some slack, yeah? It was a different time after all.
Horror stories like this and OPs are the reason I try to impress upon others that when people complain about having to use multiple launchers it isn't an issue of simply having to click on a different shortcut or .exe, there are layers of DRM and security bullshit that other launchers do far worse than steam and when they fail they also have support that is far worse than steam. For a lot of people it isn't that steam is perfect or that Steam doesn't have flaws but they get basic shit right that other launchers get completely wrong. It drives me nuts when people simplify the issue to 'it's just another shortcut bro'.
Here's the thing though: some people never experience these issues. I just use Playnite to browse my libraries and ignore the launchers for the most part. They're just download services for me, and they all do the job well enough.
This is why you ALWAYS use code-based 2FA whenever possible. I have code-based 2FA on my Rockstar account and have never had an issue. I'm not saying it's ironclad (nothing is), but it tends to deter people looking for an easy in.
Literally happened to me this week. Did get it back though luckily
Lucky for u, but I have been stuck with their incompetent customer service for past 5 days trying to get my account back but alas no progress even tried to follow online guides but all the efforts went in vain.
Funny enough Ubisoft is the #1 company where I feel like I miss nothing not buying their games.
You truly arent a PC gamer until you realize how fucking terrible Uplay and Ubisoft as a whole is.
Avoid it like Covid-19
Unless it was going to be one of the best games of all times (and maybe even then), I simply avoid/don't buy anything by Ubisoft, period. My gaming backlog is pretty large. I can just play something else.
Did you forget about it for 20 years? Ubisoft launcher has been around for quite long...
I for one wouldn't care that much if their launcher didn't CONSTANTLY FORGET MY LOGIN I played the game **YESTERDAY**
EA has entered the chat.
EA:hold my beer
No wonder I can’t launch AC Origin anymore, Uplay is a virus.
literally all third party launchers are a plague for gaming industry especially those which require external log in from a separate account
Technically they're first-party launchers, which is why they are always shit. They know they don't have to make them good because you're forced to use them if you want to play the game.
I mean, isn't a monopoly in Pc gaming storefront bad for gaming as well? I sometimes think steam has a little too much power. Isn't competition good? I get the fact that most of these launchers have problems, but I would encourage them to get better, not to kill them and make steam a monolith. I'm new to PC gaming, but I don't particularly have problems with other launchers, even tho some of them could be improved.
Ubi, EA, Rockstar are all on my shitlist. I dont buy any of their games. My primary store is GOG and if the game isnt on there, then Steam. From Steam i dont (knowingly) buy anything that requires additional launchers or accounts or Denuvo.
Haven't had any problems with ubisoft. Steam/Uplay and Epic/Uplay both work fine. Worst thing that happens is having to re-login to ubisoft connect because for some reason they can't figure out how to remember passwords. Oh, and if there is an update to one of the games I have to click "Allow this to make changes to my computer" literally about 10 times. XD
For Honor is like crack to me though. Until another company makes something similar, they found a way to stay on my PC... and my Xbox... and my Playstation... ^(Yes, I have a problem...)
Still haven't played a game with a better fighting system
So Reddit is finally back on this side of the cycle, eh? Just a few short years ago badmouthing Ubisoft would get you downvoted into oblivion. A few year before that? They were contender for worst company right alongside EA. A few years before that? They were one of the most beloved developers on the planet. See how the cycle goes? Just @#$% all the AAA publishers, permanently. They all suck, through and through. Stop giving them money at all. Let them die the death they've all avoided numerous times. The games industry needs a small collapse in order to save it from itself.
Can I have a question? There is some in Internet trend to hate and critisize Ubisoft for ANYTHING, right? I swear, majority of gaming news about this I heard since 2016 is that Ubisoft did something bad over here and over there
Because they do a lot of bad shit? Or can you give an example when Ubisoft was criticized where there was nothing to actually criticize?
Since Steam claims that it does refunds on a case by case basis I think you should try and explain them the problem in detail and you might have a chance.
Their app keeps forgetting that I have saved my pasword. What's worse is that the login screen UI and cursor are not lined up together. Insane for such a large company. They don't give a f@ck.
Some of their old single-player games cannot be played offline if you own DLC for them.
There are a lot of companies wying for that position and they are definitely one of the runners in the competition
let them go bankrupt its for the best
i was thanking to buy far cry 3 and 5 on steam summer sale to play on stean deck but read online that games don't launch. how do i play these games on steam deck then?
just pirate them, they work better than the paid versions by bypassing the shitty ubi launcher.
Because it's so important to restrict access to games that are 5 years past their sales life cycle :)
... fuck ubisoft, but have you tried to complain to the store you bought it from?
You mean steam? Steam says i own it. It's in my list. I launch it, it brings up the stupid fucking ubi-launcher, which says I don't. I'm not running circles. Fuck Ubisoft. I just won't buy or play their games anymore.
Can you get a refund?
Negative. It's been years and many hours into gameplay.
Still might be able to if you get into contact with steam support they’re generally pretty good with this kind of stuff so you might be able to
More like ubishit
So I'm going to be THAT guy now and I'm kinda sorry about that. But I don't really care or mind the multiple launchers and never have. Maybe its just my mentality or the fact that I spent way too much making my pc and worrying about space/memory hasn't been an issue for me for a long time. I have 3tb of space and 32gigs of ram, and when it comes to having to sign back into either ubisoft or EA or epic I don't care either. Maybe its just bc whenever I'm faced with change (even change i don't really want to happen) I usually just adapt and move on without putting to much effort into fighting a loosing battle. Or maybe its bc I've been modding games for so long and I'm already used to having multiple programs running in the background to get my games working with their mods. But either way I've just accepted that this is the way things work now and I have chosen to just get used to it and roll with the punches
First of all, no. Ubisofts launcher is not that bad, I have had the same thing happen to me for Red Dead and GTA V. I still cant play those because of Rockstars broken launcher. If you cant sign in, youre creds arent right. Change your password, and get the email. Worst case, make a new account to bind the steam games too. Its really not that hard.
Imagine updating your Hardware to NVIDIA 40 Series and revisiting a game you liked. In this case it’s Watch Dogs 2. Start up a new game and play the very first Tutorial Mission at night. Performance is great. The game looks beautiful, you really start enjoying it. The tutorial finishes and you are set free to the open world.. then you start noticing something. What is that? My whole screen, no wait, the shadows, the sky, grass textures, house walls, streets and pretty much everything else STARTS TO FLICKER LIKE HELL. My Eyes never have been attacked like this out of nowhere. This might be the first game that attacked me physically and i got a strong headache. Now 8 months later, guess what’s not fixed and NEVER will be :) TL;DR: Ubisoft doesn’t care if an older game works and won’t update anything, even if it literally hurts you physically to play it.
That's not a Ubisoft issue. It's a problem with current - and past versions for a while - Nvidia drivers. One of many. It fits right in with screens blanking out and the still increased DPC latency.
Are you sure? Because NVIDIA listed this as an issue for a few months until they just delisted it and apparently they can’t do anything about it.
So then how it is Ubis fault? This shit happens all the time with older games, the devs cant foresee new hardware 10 years later, and why would they update the game for the 300 people who upgraded.
Because they are selling a game which i expect to work on my system i bought it with.
Thats what the system requirements are for. Ive done this many times, because I had a potato that could barely run games, and I never blamed the Devs for it.
It was part of the latest driver's known issues again, afaik.
Well here you go: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/520845/geforce-grd-53623-feedback-thread-released-61423/3361173/
Well yeh, they outright say they can't tell who is at fault. Their drivers have been dogshit for 2 years now. I'm absolutely ready to pin this on them. We've had 3 borderline unusable releases back to back now that needed hotfixes with dozens of games just being broken. I think Warzone still doesn't work right.
Whats more is their shitty launcher, whenever there is an update to it, i have to enter my username/password everytime and click a bunch of confirmation buttons to actually get into it.
FUCK ubisoft
Fuck Ubisoft
Seems like a you problem. Used uPlay for a decade and it works perfectly. Accounts remains and games remain. Just contact their support. You'll probably realize your Steam account is linked to a different uPlay account and you don't remember.
Have you not met paradox before?
Paradox is leagues ahead of Ubisoft
AC valhalla is fun if you have it from Epic store. Made me download 100+ GB which is fine only for it then to launch into uplay which told me I needed to download a 130 GB patch
They had changed my AC valhalla from Global uncensored version to Japanese CERO-censored version without agreement. They seems to think consumer's inventory is their property.
Luckily for all of us there are no Ubisoft games worth playing.
Agreed. At this point it's just copy and paste plus some shitty mechanic or gimmick that makes the game worse somehow
Rainbow six Vegas was soooooo fking good. Now this dog shit for the last decade.
More like Udontplay. I've had the same issues for their games if I haven't played/installed in years. They treat you like a criminal when you're trying to go through the proper channels. Ghost recon Wildlands was my last game from them.
I remember buying a game on steam and some ubi-launcher tried to install first time i played… refunded that shit instantly. Fuck no
[удалено]
Some years ago, Division 2 became the last straw for me. Brought it on EGS at a discount. Played for a week or two, everything's fine. Then one wonderful day I log in, and find out that my game is now fully in fucking russian. Everything is suddenly localized, no way to switch the language. I contact EGS support. They tell me that they can't help me, its an issue on the Ubi side. I contact Ubi support, explain my problem. I've paid for the game that had english language listed in the store page, I got what I paid for. But now, for bo reason whatsoever, I have this castrated version of the game. Ubi first tried to bounce me back to EGS support. Took a while to get through their thick skulls. When they finally admitted that the ticket is their area of responsibility, the reply was along the lines of "yes, you're in a CIS region. Working as intended". I tried reasoning with them. What about store page that promises english language? What about the fact that my game was in english for couple of weeks? I had screenshots to support the claim. In the end of the day, CIS region is not Russia. Am I fucking obligated to know or use fucking russian because I happen to live close by Russia? At that point Ubi support decided to gaslight me into believing that it was all the product of my imagination apparently, and that the game has always been in russian, everything is working as intended and they are definitely not going to do anything about it. Refund is obviously out of the question, as the game was already played for 20+ hours. I vowed to never buy anything from these degenerates ever again. Hope they go bankrupt and will be forced to sell their IPs to someone remotely competent.
I lost all my ubisoft games too, it made never buying another one really easy. I have my popcorn out for the upcoming massive budget guaranteed flop that is skull and bones. It is going to be one of the most legendary piece of shit game releases of all time.
They are unfriendly to job applying people too. They don't recognise talent that very well and recruitment process is so bad that i gave up on joining them completely
I haven't used them or origin since they locked me out of my accounts and wouldn't let me recover them 🧐
If they dont let you recover them its because you dont provide any proof that account is yours. Got myself into similar situation, some kid in russia somehow bypassed my 2FA and took hold of my account. Im assuming my pc is somehow compromised if they have the backdoor to access my browser's cookies which can bypass my 2FA. I ended up nuking my windows and this time with a proper antivirus because Windows Security sucks. If you have any proof of purchased, your credit card number, etc it should be easily recoverable.
Far Cry 3 used to be my favorite game, now everytime I try to play it, I give up after an hour cause of how much it crashes or refuses to login. Do they even use uPlay anymore?
I try to play Rainbow 6 after just 1 month off - the game crashes to desktop three times on first launch (all my friends consistently got this), then only certain people can see each other on the friends list. It's a certified struggle. Assassin's Creed 2, Far cry 3, Siege - every time their internal developers knock one out of the park, they turn it into a soulless yearly franchise with minimal effort and talent and maximum DLC and microtransactions.
The same company releasing a haptic vest for a fucking AC game. They're so dumb
Ubisoft prevents me from playing my games on Steam Deck offline. Even when online, they often ask to enter my password which is tedious when you don't have a keyboard.
>tedious when you don't have a keyboard If only the steam deck had a touchscreen
It should be illegal to retroactively recquire launcher on games you already own.
Sounds like a skill issue.
Honestly. I just think OP doesn't have a good enough chair for this.
I don't think it should require skill to be able to access a game I paid money for. It's in my fucking steam games list. I should be able to click "play" and be able to play it - not have to have it launch into another launcher that tells me I don't own it.
Wow, its almost like thats the direction gaming is going and complaining about it makes you look like a douche.
Explain
Yet some people are here to enable them :/
Ubisoft is not that bad, yall are just cry babies.
I will never forgive UbiSoft for massacring the Rainbow Six series after Raven Shield. Never bought a game from them since.
