Good thing it was only 8 gigs. But still..
Getting comfortable not owning your games?
Sounds about par for Ubi.
Ubisoft has turned into such a shit company. So much online only bs. Latest just dance physical boxes don't even come with media, just a download code. Such bs. Didn't buy them, fuck em.
Has turned? They were pretty shitty after Assassins Creed 3.
Then they kinda been on the fence, doing a cool thing, followed by 3 shitty things, over and over.
Been that way for a while.
Turned into?! I can't recall a time when they were good.
And I'm quite old. They bought a bunch of really good teams like Blue Byte, and immediately made them produce crap.
No need to rewrite history come on, let's not pretending we didn't love them back in the Sands of Time, Beyond Good and Evil, Rayman 2, Splinter Cell days.
And this is where pirating comes into play. For example, I bought Fifa 23 but because of the bundled anti-cheat giving me a lot of problems, I downloaded the cracked version.
The last Ubisoft game I bought was a few years ago, immortals phoenix rising or something, on the Nintendo switch. To play the game I have to turn on airplane mode, ignore the blah blah blah about online connection, launch the game, then turn airplane mode off. Then if I suspend and resume, it complains again about online. So frustrating when I just want to play the game and use a wireless controller.
This was the last time I bought anything Ubisoft.
Hm, don't remember seeing that with the Switch demo. Yeah, that's skeevy though.
For me it did require it on the Switch Demo. Maybe you were offline or in a country where they don't do that or something?
Oh really? I wonder why the ps5 would require it and not the switch
In case you weren’t aware , you can disable internet in ps5 settings and launch the game and it won’t bother you. Had the same shit happen in AC Valhalla and it was so annoying turning internet off and on just to play this game. I would have been ok with this if at least the game worked the same after signing in but no … A whole class of online specific bugs started to show up ranging from stupid stutters to outright in game repeated popups whenever your player moves, it made the game unplayable so had to delete the whole game. I tried again later after a few months and the bug had been fixed so it was better but still had random stutters.
That’s gonna be a nope from me, dawg
My account allows me to enjoy benefits, but not the actual benefit of not having an account. Or the choice to create an account or not. Got it.
I foresee all video games being strictly online in 10-20 years. No more single player content. That, right before the gaming industry implodes like an event horizon.
