stardust, do games w After 350,000 signatures in an EU consumer rights campaign, Ubisoft is adding offline modes to The Crew games - but not the now-dead original

I want Crew 1 offline more than the others because it has an actual single player campaign.

Looks like Ubisoft didn’t get enough pressure.

hoghammertroll,

While Ubisoft likely isn’t going to make that happen, some dedicated fans are working on it

stardust,

Yeah been keeping eye on it and they’ve been making good progress with some of the story being playable already.

Well, and because 2 is fucking abysmal as a game. The starter car shouldn’t feel like it’s on rails regardless of speed, mostly - it’s a fucking racing game, get it right. (modern nfs is in the corner giggling but that piece of shit is always trying to force me to drift, again with an un-upgraded starter car with like 150hp, so it’s no better)

I was a closed beta tester for 1 and 2, and was very excited for both, but going from 1 to 2 is a huge step backwards in handling alone. Whereas I pre-ordered 1 and got several others to as well, I told everyone I know to avoid 2, bought it on sale a while after launch, was immediately disappointed they never addressed this, and it sits with… 13 hours on the clock. As a reference, I have 4,048 hours played in Forza Horizon 5.

I have no idea how they fucked up so badly. It’s a travesty.

(I play with keyboard/mouse out of preference but also because of physical disabilities, so while I /could/ use a controller and maybe mitigate this, grab a controller and try playing with one hand, see how great that experience is x_x) .

I haven’t even played my copy of The Crew. Seems like now I won’t ever be able to.

Wow who would have thought that single player games were a good thing. Oh wait I did. And so did lots of other people.

rasakaf679,

You worded it incorrectly. It should be any single player game that requires online to start to game should be fined. They can have multiplayer option. But single player should be able to be played even offline.

thermal_shock,

but but but, piracy!!!

/s

ouch,

Pirates are doing God’s work of preserving the digital arts. Heroes every one of them.

It’s amazing how companies only do things after a “gobernment” scare, the fight does not stop, this isn’t just about The Crew, it’s about every game that won’t work without internet.

Hey, it's not nothing! A small step towards to the right direction

Eggyhead, do gaming w Star Wars Outlaws doesn't let you free aim and fire from your speeder because Massive didn't want you to "feel as if you can ride in and assault people"

I figured there was enough already to complain about, but if this is now what we’re complaining about, I start to think the game isn’t as bad as it’s being made out to be.

PunchingWood, (edited )

It really isn’t a bad game.

I’m 7 hours in and having a blast (pun intended). It’s an alright game if you’re not into SW, it’s an awesome game if you are. Reminds me a lot of Hogwarts Legacy, the game didn’t bring anythinbg new to the market, but it’s fun if you’re into the theme.

There have been a few technical difficulties but nothing as bad as games I played before, which got much higher ratings and didn’t get blasted for it as hard as people do with this game.

People just really let their hate for Ubisoft take over and jump on that social bandwagon for internet points, even though the game plays barely like any other Ubisoft game I’ve played in the past 30 years.

I bet later today Metacritic user reviews will be flooded with people who haven’t even played the game and just base their entire opinion on a few buggy game clips.

Melonpoly,

Why do you assume that any bad review is from someone who hasn’t played the game? People are allowed to have negative opinions just as much as people are allowed to have positive ones.

Just because you are enjoying the game doesn’t mean that everyone else has to too.

PunchingWood,

I never said I assume that every bad review is from someone who hasn’t played.

But you can’t ignore the insane amount of hate Ubisoft is getting for the most insignificant non-issues just because they’re Ubisoft. It takes like a few seconds to notice how the troll armies are linking stuff from various clickbait YouTubers and streamers on social media, and no doubt a vast majority of negative feedback is coming from there.

I’m not ignoring the legit issues this game has, because they are definitely present. And I’m doing my part in reporting them to Ubisoft, instead of making trollposts about it on social media, so we can all enjoy a better game. Sadly that isn’t part of the majority’s crusade against Ubisoft, they’re just out there farming internet points, banking on the circlejerk hate.

I can almost guarantee that the upcoming Metacritic user reviews are a prime example of “Hue hue Ubisoft bad”.

Melonpoly,

Why do you feel the need to defend a large company from a negative image that they have created for themselves?

PunchingWood,

I’m not defending a large company.

I’m expressing my enjoyment of this game. I do not care what company is behind it.

The problem lies with the people that let their entire opinions be molded by the large company behind it.

Melonpoly,

So are you fine with people not enjoying the game if it’s got nothing to do with Ubisoft? Because a lot of the reviews are just that.

PunchingWood,

It takes only a minute to check on Metacritic what the majority of negative reviews are about.

There are a few legit ones, but most are just trashtalking Ubisoft. Or saying horsecrap like “looks like PS3 games”, which it clearly doesn’t. Or every positive review is “paid by Ubisoft”, and people even complaining about it being a woke political agenda, fucking lmao.

I strongly doubt these trolls even installed the game.

Melonpoly,

Most? Have you read all 600+ negative reviews?

Ubisoft has clearly made a name for itself by making mediocre content and this game has only reinforced that image but being upset about that is wrong apparently.

The game clearly doesn’t appeal to the majority of players and that makes you upset. Blaming the “ubisoft haters” or the “anti woke” just sounds like you’re trying to find a convenient scapegoat for why the game isn’t doing well. If the game was good people would play it regardless of who the publisher is.

Lightor,

Honestly, about 5 hours in and I love it. More depth than I expected. Actual stealth with multiple mechanics around it. The gang rep system. It’s great. I have mixed feelings on Kay as a person, but I’m curious to see where it goes.

Fun fact, you can still shoot on the speeder once you fill your adrenaline by driving a bit crazy, then you do a red dead slow down, target selection style shooting.

smeg, do games w Randy Pitchford releases the most valuable shift code ever at PAX.

I’ve never played borderlands, what is a “shift code”? Is it a classic cheat code? Or some kind of pay-to-win microtransaction thing?

MystikIncarnate, do games w Randy Pitchford releases the most valuable shift code ever at PAX.

I want to go back and play through the whole series again, but the nuances of the older games that were fixed in the more recent games always throws me.

I play on PC and it’s very very obvious that kb/mouse was an afterthought for some of the games… I just hate doing fps with a joystick/thumbstick.

Either way, I’ve redeemed this for all of my copies of Borderlands. So the next time I log in, I should have golden keys for days.

ElectroLisa,

Which ones exactly? BL2 doesn’t look/feel like it’s kb/m support was an afterthought

wirelesswire,

It’s mostly noticeable in the menus for BL2. Navigating with a mouse is kinda jank, where it is much snappier when using keys.

Kecessa,

Oh yeah, menus in Borderlands are shit

ElectroLisa,

oh those, yes they’re annoying, especially switching tabs

MystikIncarnate,

Definitely menus.

Most of the run/gun aspects are very similar regardless of which Borderlands game you’re playing.

BL3 was by far the best for menus. Not perfect, but a lot less cumbersome than the previous games.

If you play on PC, you can use a hotfix injector to mod the cost of gold, diamond, and skeleton chests to be free.

Borderlands 3 Gold Chest

Borderlands 3 Diamond Chest

Wonderlands Skeleton Chest

There’s lots of quality-of-life patches and other fixes available too for both Borderlands 3 and Wonderlands.

Feels like they’re advertising Borderlands IP hard recently,

Jezebelley,

They just announced Borderlands 4, so I think they’re trying their best to get past the movie failure.

Red_October,

And they should. They want us to remember the games, to look forward to 4, and completely forget there was ever a movie.

MystikIncarnate,

The movie, that came out like, a month ago?

I was always planning to watch it when it went to streaming/home video kind of release. I rarely go to the theatre anymore.

I’m also waiting on the same for the new Deadpool + Wolverine movie…

Considering the little I’ve heard about it so far (trying to avoid spoilers), it seems like I should skip the Borderlands movie, but I’ll probably still watch it.

thesmokingman,

It’s okay for background noise. It is infuriating to watch. It’s not even slightly funny at a bad movie level of funny. It’s just bad.

Keep it until next year. Use it in the new game.

Thanks! About 5 hours into a new playthrough of BL2 with my wife, so this is awesome!

50 golden keys? Damn, that would’ve been really nice when I was still playing borderlands 2.
