Here’s some on my list:
-
Red Dead Redemption 2 - I do not want to deal with the Rockstar Games launcher.
-
Tom Clancy’s Breakpoint - The game’s add-on packs feel like Ubisoft is trying to nickel and dime gamers who would instinctively buy the GOTY equivalent of a title. I do not want to deal with a Ubisoft launcher or account.
-
Zombi - According to the Steam reviews it required a Uplay login to validate the game before you play and that version of the Ubisoft service no longer exists. This seems to have been rectified but I still don’t trust it and don’t want to go through the refund process if it hasn’t.
-
Skyrim VR - I’ve already bought too many copies of Skyrim.
A bit of a “this is why I pirate” thread but more targeted at individual games.
Apparently the next one wont require uplay (on steam) and will be supported on linux. I’m still not interested in it because of the trend of assassins creed becoming supermassive open world RPGs but it would be nice if it became a trend.
Assassin’s Creed died a long time ago. The skinwalkers can’t compare.
Absolutely this. I have to admit I’m seeing some things I like in Shadows much more akin to what we should have been having for the past decade but I just don’t trust Ubisoft anymore and even on Deaths’ door they can’t let the corpo scummery go and I refuse to have Uplay or Denuvo infect my computer so I’ll not play it until it’s been broken.
I liked Origins, but not as an Assassins creed game. I’d say Assassins Creed died with Syndicate.
