Source: http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/07/04/ubisoft-vp-says-gamers-are-growing-more-comfortable-with-dlc-and-digital/ The Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag "Time Saver" packs aren't expensive—$1 for the Collectibles Pack and $2 for the Resources Pack—but it's the principle of the thing that's so outrageous, at least among those who remember that cheat codes used to be free. Yet according to Ubisoft Vice President of Digital Publishing Chris Early, there was no outrage. "There was no resistance," he told GamesIndustry. "Maybe there were 12 guys somewhere who said something, but whatever. As a whole, there wasn't a problem. . He said that DLC and season passes are "pretty much accepted" these days, because publishers have been able to make players feel like they enhance the game rather than leave them at a disadvantage if they don't pay for it. He also touched on what many people see as a potential problem with microtransaction-based games, even though in his eyes it's a positive development. "I know people who've spent five digits or more of money in Clash of Clans, spending in the tens of thousands of dollars," Early said. "Who would think of that? But nobody's really angry about that. That's how that guy chooses to play, and he's playing against other people of the same caliber, whether they got there through spending hundreds of hours playing the game or tens of thousands of dollars. Good design, that's what it comes down to." They just keep on digging. While I'm not against the idea of paid DLC, this is just crazy.

So after playing the crew beta for about 2 hours, i have begun to dislike the game. The more I played the more I felt like I was wasting my life haha. I know its only the beta but here are my reasons to why its bad. The outline of the map sucks, Detroit does not even look like the real Detroit and I live right next to it so i've seen it a lot. I know a lot will say its hard to make everything 100% the same and the map is still getting worked on, but for a game thats been in production for a few years, you'd expect a little more. The driving is terrible.... like worse than watch dogs The story looks boring to play if you only play solo or 2 people Customization kind of looks repetitive I also think the graphics will be worse then expected when the game comes out. I just can't play any Ubisoft racing games and I thought I'd share my 2 cents. I hail Ubisoft when it comes to Assassins Creed, but anything else is just a no no IMO. I guess we'll just have to wait until the game comes out, although I do not think I will be buying it. Once again I know its only the beta, but I still do not think it will be a good game when it comes out

Do not PRE-ORDER games! Here are some example with explanation: Battlefield: Hardline Because its EA. They give unfinished & broken products. Remember Battlefield 4. Assassins Creed Unity, The Division, & Rainbow Six Siege If you are on PC do not Pre-Order because Ubisoft make games unoptimized on PC like Assassins Creed Black Flag and Watch Dogs. Call of Duty: Advance Warefare If you are on PC do not Pre-Order because Activation make games unoptimized on PC like Call of Duty Ghost.

I wanted to make this thread so that anyone who missed the conferences so far can just swift throught this and be up to date on the biggest and baddest happenings of E3 2014. Last night I watched Microsoft, EA and Ubisoft's conferences and it just got better and better. And this morning I got even more great news. So let's get to it, what I thought were the best in the conferences. Let's start with the obvious winner, Grand Theft Auto V coming to PC! (and next gen, but who cares about that?) So next up I've got to put the new Batman - Arkham Knight gameplay. It looks amazing, the lighting effects are great and I've got to say, I didn't have a lot of faith in the Batmobile, but they convinced me. Let's get this out of the way, probably the only good thing to come out of the Microsoft conference is the Witcher 3 gameplay. But boy did it worth the wait. Check it out! So these are the big winners for me, something before I roll onto Ubisoft's conference: Mortal Kombat X. New fighters, new moves, from the looks of it it's pretty good imo. So now, to keep the post a bit more concised all the Ubisoft announcements are going to be behind this spoiler.

During E3, AC Unity creative director Alex Amancio was asked about the lack of a Female avatar for the new multiplayer mode of Assassin’s Creed. Amancio stated that there had been plans to include female avatar's for gamers to choose from. However "the reality of production", as stated by Amancio, was that creating a female avatar would create more work for the development team. The female avatar would require the team to create a female model with appropriate animations and voice work. While I can understand that creating a new character would be difficult, I don't believe that the inclusion of a female assassin would impact or delay development of the game. For me, the development team's real reason for not having variety in the multiplayer avatar's is budgetary and greed (on the side of Ubisoft). It is less costly to just reuse the animations and character model of the main protagonist. With a simple change of outfit (color swap), the development team can create "choices" for the player to choose from. Amancio states as much when he said "Because of that, the common denominator was Arno...so the only logical option, the only option we had, was to cut the female avatar." For me this sounds like Ubisoft is trying to keep their production costs down in order to maximize their profits. Others believe that the reasoning behind the lack of a female avatar to be nonsense. On twitter you can find the hashtag #womenaretoohardtoanimate, where thousands have taken to express their frustrations. How do you all feel? Do you think Ubisoft has a legitimate reason for not including a female avatar. Or do you feel like me and think Ubisoft just does not want to pay more production costs, release the game to endless hype, and make all of use triple their investment?

PLEASE DON'T KILL ME IF IT'S A REPOST! I didn't find an equivalent post! Linus mentioned on the latest netlinked daily that the new "performance patch" for Watch_Dogs actually breaks compatibility with the "mod" that allowed you to unlock E3 graphics. DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS PATCH!!! here's the full video: Worse and worse Ubi... -EDIT- Apparently it is still possible to install the mod by unpacking and re-packing the files with the patch ( @PokémonTrainerFour wrote it in his post) so it's not as bad as it looked, but it's still not clear if the compatibility issue was intentional or not and most of all why the hell the patch didn't include those graphics options in the game to start with.

Ubisoft is at it again with their crap. Claiming FarCry on console is equivalent to PC and WatchDogs E3 settings are still in the PC game, but not an option.

So, I was wanting to buy a copy of rainbow Six Siege for a friend of mine through UPlay, since I have a 20% off promo code I can use for it. However, when I was going through the checkout stage, I did not notice an option to gift it to someone like on Steam. Can you gift games to other players through UPlay?

Ubisoft recently tweeted out the Pv specs for far cry 4 and I saw this as one of the replies As you can see, I left a reply of my own to speak my mind. Am I the only one that thinks this guys is ridiculous? Ubisoft has proven time and time again that they just don't do the best for PC gamers and here this guy is. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the PC market pretty decent for Ubisoft? Just thought I'd share this to see what you guys think on the topic.

So Ubisoft is back at it... Link Right now, Far Cry 4 reviews are popping up all over the internet. It is, by all reports, a great game. Unfortunately, we can neither confirm or deny that assessment. More troubling, given the launch state of Assassin's Creed: Unity, is that we can't tell you how it performs on PC. The reason is simple: we haven't yet received code. If you're getting a sense of deja vu, it's because exactly the same thing happened with Unity. For Far Cry 4, Ubisoft held a console review event; giving multi-platform outlets the chance to have their reviews in place for today's embargo. We, naturally, need to play the game on PC. Last night, we were informed that code wouldn't arrive until Tuesday, the date of the game's launch.

Summary After a closed beta accessible via twitch drops and a release in 2020. Hyperscape servers are shutting down. Quotes My thoughts While beta keys via twitch drops is a cool idea, it seems to have drummed up more hype than what hyperscape could provide. Here's to hoping my main account can get access to future drops before the alt I made specifically for valorant/hyperscape/scavengers etc. Sources https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/hyper-scape/news-updates/37U6BBTVWevDWEZHY48x3g/the-future-of-hyper-scape
