This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Ugh, but I would have to install Ubisoft Connect.

[–] Zoboomafoo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

For that much drive space, I could have the entire despecialized Star Wars trilogy in 4k

Not a "traditional" AC but extremely fun to play imo, recommended

[–] emptyother@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not a traditional AC? Origins and forward isnt traditional. Syndicate was so traditional they didnt even bring with them the improvements Unity had added (because both games were developed in parallell). It was the last traditional AC game in the series.

Also I loved that London. Also I loved those fight clubs. Also Evie looked damn sexy when fighting in said fight clubs.

[–] UprisingVoltage@feddit.it 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, it started implementing the RPG mechanics they used in origins and featured a hookshot, which was crazy fun imo but killed every incentive to do parkour and to escape guards. I personally consider unity the last traditional AC (haven't played, seen nor heard anything on mirage yet)

[–] emptyother@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Eh.. Mirage is back to the old. Very minor skill-tree. Everything dies easy. No real sidequests. Social stealth works better.

But... It feels like a copy of AC. Like someone else without access to the source code of the originals tried to re-create it in Origins' engine. Also the cutscenes kinda suck. And the city is a bit un-impressive and repetative.

Even free I'm not installing that shit.

[–] Binthinkin@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

Ubisoft should just move to Steam. Nobody wants to install another shitty installer for mediocre games.

[–] coughrelief@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Pirate it and get a better experience without their awful launcher

[–] Kurtzva@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Let's just say; you don't pay with money.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I enjoyed playing the game on Xbox and I am happy to claim it for PC, but I kid you not the Ubisoft Connect client hangs when I try to open the Ubisoft store. As others have said, there's really no need for them to have their own client. Just use Steam!

[–] delitomatoes@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

Very boring game

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

With every launch of their shitty ad-saturated, bloated piece of shit client shivving me with UAC repeatedly they make me less likely to ever again install one of their games (since Rayman Origins on steam has no DRM and I can just launch the exe directly); so take note Ubi, stop doing giveaways until the gift is not embedded in feces.
