Sorry Sean Murray.
lets start at the top.
Uplay. Ubisoft's DRm program that is supposed to manage all their games, and is required to run all their games...So how many times has this piece of **** refused to run. refused to update. Lost your games, required you to reload, reupdate, refind Guilliame's F'ing testicles... But I digress.
Hi We're releasing new games. This is what they're projected to cost. Here's what we project they will earn... The games, are they good? Who care's we've got marketing for these buggy pieces of ****. We'll embargo them and make our money on pre-orders, and the reviews will release later.
**** Ubisoft.
Better hurry this ain't gonna last long...Originally Posted by slightly_jaded Go to original post
I'm not pretending it's going to last long. It's venting for venting's sake. Uplay lost my Freaking division install again. (Think this is the 4th time now)
It's not the buggiest piece of ****e in existence. But I don't have the budget for a F22 raptor. I'd honestly be impressed if any Ubisoft project (That wasn't a southpark property) Actually worked the way it was advertised at this point.
That sucks man... For most of us games are a RR, and when something doesn't work right it's really irritating. When last stand came out for some reason it wouldn't download for me. Took about 2 weeks of back and forth with ubi to get it resolved. They did make it right and even gave me some real money for fake money coins, but by the time I got into LS I was way behind. it does seem like it's always something...Originally Posted by slightly_jaded Go to original post
Well put. This game has been an eye opener for me. I will never preorder a game again in my life. The fact of the matter Ubisoft has yet to deliver a finished product. This game still has a ton of bugs that they simply don't give a rat's *** about. The rules of the game changes every "update". We are now at beta 1.6.1. You bust your *** for an AUG roll it to perfect You know what? **** YOU! NERF! Bust your *** for a great G36 C **** YOU! NERF. Bust your *** to get great Reclaimer gear? **** YOU! Incendiary and explosive bullets don't work anymore!Originally Posted by slightly_jaded Go to original post
You know what? **** YOU! Consumables don't work anymore so now your gear is worthless pieces of ****! Report a bug? **** YOU! Send me a video. What? With all the money you guys have made you can't hire a couple of flunkies to duplicate the reported bugs? I have to work for you AND be the customer? Seriously? I look forward to the day we have a finished product but I don't see it happening. They would rather add **** to the buggy game than fix the bugs. Imagine how AWESOME this game would have been from the start if RockStar put this game out! Ubisoft doesn't give a damn. They got the $ and we get the shaft.
Shew, the high schools are letting out early huh?Originally Posted by slightly_jaded Go to original post
Well.... even if the way he formulated this text is not exactly the same choice of words I would make, but he is right. I am 39 and I have played a lot of games in my life, starting with Space Invaders, Pac Man etc., but if a Video Game Developing Company + Publisher simpy don't gve much about our oppinions, feedback etc.
I used to like The Division, I really did, but after learning the bitter truth about never getting a PvE only Dark Zone and no Continuation of the Story, I decided to uninstall the game and drop the Disks in a Box where they are eaten by dust. Devs like Massive, Bunji (Destiny), EA, Ubisoft and Activision are considered pure poison by many people in the World. Can you blame them? I sure can't say I blame them for being cautious.
I know for sure that I am done with them and to be honest, I do not intend to purchase their upcoming games after this fiasco here..... choices and consequences....
Very good point. The companies you mentioned are all suspect of take the money and run! It does not have to be that way. Look at RockStar and Take 2 for example. They would rather delay a launch and lose $ by doing so rather than release buggy crap. So when Red Dead Redemption drops it will work as intended. Thus they will retain the reputation for putting out quality work. A very large part of the problem is the fanboy. "I got hours of playing in. So I got my money's worth out of it." These people are complete and utter morons. They didn't get their money's worth because it never worked properly. So as long as these type of people (P.T. Barnum said there's one born every minute) are out there why should the game makers improve? Why not put out 5 to 10 games a year? Ignore the games already sold and put out more crap.Originally Posted by HangmansJoke78 Go to original post
The sickening thing about Massive & Ubisoft is they ONLY play on PC. So if it doesn't affect them on PC the console players can go **** themselves. When we report problems we have on console it is like speaking to an ape. "Ug ug goog goog grunt grunt! Send me a video." They don't even bother to take our word no matter how many people report the same problem. They don't even bother to hire people to play on consoles to duplicate the problems. You would think at the very least they would offer players that submit videos something in return. Outfits, in game currency, something but no. They are only looking at the bottom line. The quarterly numbers. By doing so they are about to squander one hell of a customer base.
