New Ubisoft DRM requires internet ALL the time

And developers wonder why PC sales are low...

 

I'll still buy any new Tom Clancy based games. I never really liked Assassin's Creed, so this doesn't really bother me - also because I always have an internet connection. I do understand the frustration of others, however.

 

Thats not entirley true you can play offline mode with Steam upto a point normally when Steam is updated & if your offline for any length of time like when your net is down like mine was off for 7 weeks recently you loose sync with the "Steam Cloud" & then Steam can't even boot never mind any games you have linked to Steam.

 

woups ur damn right, i got totally confused = i fail! THIEF 4 is being developed by EIDOS Montreal.. thank god lol.

I just hope that no other company will follow UBISOFT on this DRM crap. im looking forward to buy Thief 4 actually and pay full price for it without the DRM crap in it.

 

This was one of the main reasons Steam was created,during the Steam closed beta which lasted around 2 years Valve told us pay to play was planned for Steam games like CSS,TF2 etc but we made a big song & dance about it as did the rest of the community when they heard about it & Valve in there wisdom decided to drop pay to play for "now" so dont be disapointed if at some stage pay to play comes into effect.

 

Hope they die! lol

There's always a REACTION followed by an ACTION! Guess what's coming?! lol

Who do they think they're fooling with DRM implementation? It's just annoying. Stop.

 

This is unbelievable. I was definitely looking forward to AC2 but with this DRM in place they won't get my money.

On the other hand I'm pretty sure there's going to be a crack for this...

 

i hope mr pirate comes with a solution, i was gonna buy it, but i guess i just wont cus i dont want to be losing my bandwith or my saved games just cuz of my internet inestability. ohh look piratebay woot! my gaming salvation!

 

I had excellent feedback from one of my friends about AC2 being completely different from the first one. But with this kind of "security" they are really going the wrong way.

 

developers look what steam does, they make discounts and they sell games. GOOD PRICES = GOOD SALES, i think you have some sex in the city girl in the marketing deparment you should tell her to GTFO and STFU allready with this, ´´lets fark up our clients in the arse campain.´´

dont be shy, repeat with me now:
GOOD PRICES = GOOD SALES GOOD PRICES = GOOD SALES GOOD PRICES = GOOD SALES
GOOD PRICES = GOOD SALES GOOD PRICES = GOOD SALES GOOD PRICES = GOOD SALES

 

and once again the only people who will be effected by this will be the legitimate buyers. do they really believe they are going to out smart the scene? i bet its cracked before its even officially released.

 

Gabe Newell = god amongst men.
Ubisoft = assclowns.

 

I don't see how Ubisoft could fail any harder than this. This won't do any good for a game that's already been chewed and used up by the console crowd. Just goes to show how much they care about the PC.

 

hahahaa i'm laughing so hard right now i can't stop..STUPID thing to do, nobody, i mean nobody will buy this, if they release the game like this..bye bye profits for the PC port..what a bunch of no brain idiots..

and how stupid can you be to think that this type of protection will bring you money..the only thing that's gonna have an impact on is the crackers..they will definitely crack the **** out of this game, just to f*ck Ubisoft up..

 

Meh, I vastly prefer always-online requirements over disk checks or whatever form of rootkit DRM is FoTM. After all I don't live in a third world country, my network is always accessible.

And if it for some reason isn't, perhaps they're upgrading the local switches or replacing some optics or whatever, then the least of my concerns would be being unable to play games.

 

Crackah ass crackers. It's a stupid system put into play by people who think we'll do backflips to get a game on the pc.

 

How could it be more fun at half the framerate with worse graphics?
I played this on the 360, and its a great game, the best sequel since HL2.

I will hold off on ordering this until i see what Reloaded or Razor1911 come up with, my net is pretty stable providing i pay my bill, but i don't want to worry that if it drops i will be kicked out the game.

Ideally, and i know im dreaming, this game would never be cracked, and no copies will appear on the net, with terrible sales and alot of complaints:banana:
But if its cracked and sells bad, Ubisoft will blame piracy, and probably stop releasing on the PC.
If its cracked and sells well, then they will say their new DRM worked, and keep using it.

It's a pissflaps lose/lose situation:bang::biggun:

 

cracks, in this case, make sense.
