First of all - pardon me for using the word "****". I was unable to find a better definition of discrimination based on nationality. Which, sadly, happens to be what Ubisoft is currently doing. And yes, I used it because I'm very angry at your current policy. Now let me explain.
Ubisoft is releasing the game in Russia available ONLY in russian language - text and voice. Is it too much to ask to have a game voiced by talented actors and written by professional writers? Do I HAVE TO deal with terrible translation and voice acting from Russian students who barely made it out of college? Coz this is what I'm getting with Russian "localization" in games.
Can you offer me a choice, Ubisoft? A choice to pick English version of the game. You are worried that people will buy cheaper Russian keys then? Then sell two copies of the game - one of them being international. Raise the price to international level. I WILL PAY it. But as of now, you are NOT ALLOWING me to buy an international game. You are FORCING ME to play with terrible translation and voice acting. And I won't. The ONLY choice you are offering me is to buy this game, or not to buy it. The same deal as with Far Cry 4. I never bought it because I was FORCED into Russian localization. And I WANT TO BUY Far Cry 4 and play it in co-op with my friend. I WANT TO BUY Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Why are you NOT LETTING ME BUY YOUR PRODUCTS, Ubisoft?
I'm ready to pay. I'm ready to pay MORE, if I have to. But I am NOT ready to pay for half-assed work of Russian translators and voice actors. So what do we do now?
It is not government issue it is Ubisoft politics and only them understanding. You still can buy the game in English but you have to go to reseller to do so. Still no official answers from Ubisoft how to buy English version if I want it and this will work on the account register and used not only on post USSR territory.
I made a mistake when bought the division but now no thank you.
And once again. New game from Ubisoft and the CIS region Russian-only lock from my favorite publisher (no kidding, most of the games in my "library" are from Ubisoft). I've managed to replace my AC4 key to English, but the other games were bought from resellers.
So, will our dear publisher finally make it possible to buy WW releases of it's games or should I skip pre-ordering it, as I did with The Division, and wait for better prices from resellers?
BTW, really like new uplay store, but haven't bought anything from it because well-known reason.
