They Really Don't Get It

What the fuck Ubisoft. What the fuck.

Seriously? This is how you treat your PC gamers? When the game disconnects from your servers for whatever reason you're booted off - for a single player game? Wow, just wow. Even Steam doesn't do this, you lose your connection mid game and keep playing (with the exception of a multiplayer game naturally).

So yeah, Assassin's Creed 2 = skip, and any other Ubisoft game that uses this kind of mechanic. I have a pretty solid connection but even that is prone to the occasional hiccup.

I just, I just feel shocked.

Curse you! I was going to post something after getting some feedback in the Steam Thread. ~Shakes fist~

Yeah, see... I'm gonna buy it. I'm just gonna slap a reloaded or razor1911 crack on it as soon as I do. I buy all my games, but screw DRM dictating how, when, and where I can play the games I've payed for.

At $60 it'll be some time before I pick up Assassin's Creed 2. Especially considering the first game dropped to $20 after just a few months.

Pretty stupid that AC2 is 2nd in the top sellers for Steam pre-sales. And they're giving such a great 0% discount!

The new boosters are understandable, having ways to make money is a good idea. However, it seems to be a little premature because there is not a lot of depth to the game yet. [url=http://madbohem.c...

Without fail, every time I get picked for one of these things I'm using my shitty laptop instead of my gaming desktop.
