I haven’t bought a Ubisoft game since Farcry 3 when a friend invited me to join an online game (which is something I very rarely had the opportunity to do) but the game wouldn’t let me play because I didn’t have that subcription thing they had. I tried using the free signup code that came with the game, but my brother already used it. So yeah, I have a personal grudge against that shitty company.

Also, I hate what they did to the Rainbow Six franchise. The original games (by Red Storm, I think?) are what those games should’ve been.

  • technomad,

    🤣 yeah it kind of does. I like platformers and metroidvanias though, and I have fond memories of several previous entries to the series. That is the appeal for me. The game’s got good reviews, it’s nice to see the series actually getting some stuff right this time, especially because the last entry was such a disappointment for me.

    Facebones,

    Well fuck I should just put it on my switch. Oh well I got $20 off on QVC and I like Prince of Persia so I don’t mind pumping sales figures for it.

    Idk when it’ll get here though so maybe I still will 😂

    simple, do games w Little Nightmares II

    I kinda liked the first game more. Felt a lot more cohesive in terms of themes and story, Little Nightmares 2 felt like it was about something else entirely. And yeah, that ending.

    foudinfo,

    Yeah it feels like they tried something different. With the first one, all the big ennemies were underlings of the Lady. Here, even though they inhabit the city (except for the hunter), they are not linked to the Thin man. It’s a bit confusing.

    But overhaul the game is still really good and scary. IMO being chased is one of the scariest thing, so stressfull.

    It will be because of the “First Run” deal that Epic offers, so you’ll get to play in 6 months. I don’t blame the studio for doing it though but it’s not ideal for some.

    it’s only available on ubisoft’s proprietary launcher

    I just want to have it available on my usual storefront, Steam

    The fucking irony.

    DingoBilly, do games w Fuck Ubisoft.

    Lol as someone else put it, it’s silly to complain that you won’t buy a game because it doesn’t use the marketplace you want to use.

    Steam is just one marketplace and it needs competition. One day it’s going to go through enshittification and when that happens you’ll be thankful other marketplaces exist.

    Sometimes I honestly wonder why PC gamers get so riled up over inconsequential things.

    Thermal_shocked,

    Convenience, the whole reason piracy took a backseat for a few years. Inconvenient? Hit the seas.

    DingoBilly,

    I’ve never found it more convenient to use Steam or another store over piracy so it doesn’t make much difference to many.

    Some of the games I do own on Steam now don’t work either, so it’s not like it’s an amazing store.

    But if it’s inconvenient to download a different client just to buy a game then you’re just lazy. It’s not like you have to subscribe to it, it’s just a click and 5 minute wait.

    Thermal_shocked,

    Lazy for not wanting to have 6 different accounts and launchers? Nah. It’s easier to just get a pirated version than trying to remember which service you bought what on.

    DingoBilly,

    If it’s hard work having 6 launchers, it’s easier to just get a pirated version period, so might as well just pirate everything.

    RogueBanana,

    Not even close… no one is complaining that it’s on other stores, the problem is that it isn’t on steam and even if there was, it still requires you to install their own garbage client. Quite literally the opposite.

    DingoBilly,

    Who cares if it is on Steam or not though?

    If everything was on everything then sure, that would be great. But that’s not realistic, and having this alternative where everything is on Steam but not elsewhere is not a good solution for that because Steam will be shit one day, and already has quite a few shitty issues.

    Honestly, people have this ridiculous view of PC gaming and Steam sometimes. Look around the world and show me where having one company having a massive hold over that sector has ever worked out well long term for consumers.

    RogueBanana,

    Man what are you on and whats with these pointless anti steam propaganda. I get why people would be against steam but this literally isn’t one of them.

    So let me repeat that. NO ONE WANTS IT TO BE STEAM EXCLUSIVE. PEOPLE ARE AGAINST PLATFORM EXCLUSIVITY. To me you look like weird one having some weird fetish for hating big bad companies. Everyone knows the problems of monopoly and I have also taken course on economics so I am somewhat aware of it but I buy things where it’s convenient and if it isn’t I would rather pirate it. Doesn’t matter if it’s stream or gog or epic, you are simply barking at the wrong tree mate.

    DingoBilly,

    It sounds like we agree then. Ideally everything would be on every platform, but that’s unrealistic so OP is pretty much complaining needlessly. It’s good there are different platforms and competition.

    B0NK3RS,
    @B0NK3RS@lemmy.world avatar

    I tend to agree.

    Every storefront is DRM, some better than others, and people shouldn’t get so tied to a specific one. PC gaming is so open and getting angry at this is pointless.

    Well, guess I’m going to pirate it.

    bhamlin,

    They count that. You have to not even steal it for them to realize they fucked up.

    Interesting, I wondered why I’ve had messages from automod about removing old posts of mine, and why I’ve seen some recent ones I’ve contributed to suddenly disappearing.

    Was this the new team or the previous mod who has done this?

    Anyway, good luck and have fun with running the community. Hope to see more from you folks.

    The previous mod, we’ve been trying to restore everything, sorry for the inconvenience!

    No problem, it’s not your fault the previous mod did this. Thanks for the clarification and quick reply.

    AProfessional,

    None of these are walled gardens really. That term applies to platforms (iOS) that restrict the user.

    Steam and Epic are just stores. The DRM part isn’t even required (for Steam at least).

    Randomgal,

  • emogu,

    Yep. Gog is probably where we should all be getting our games tbf. Being mad that a game is available on one drm store instead of another drm store is kind of silly. In either case we’re only buying the license and not actually owning anything.

    Toneswirly, do games w Fuck Ubisoft.

    Had this epiphany with the new Ass Creed. It launched on steam, but after buying it still has a second front end Ubisoft launcher. Thats just straught up lying to me about what im purchasing. I dont want Ubi Spyware. Period.

    You are fully justified to put your own developed stuff where youwant to.
    On this one point I side with Ubisoft.

    TwilightVulpine,

    Yeah, this particular argument goes back around to validating Ubisoft

    A_Very_Big_Fan,

    The problem isn’t that Ubisoft is using their own launcher, it’s that their launcher blows ass

    Wrench,

    On their own game engine.

    Built to showcase their specific VR hardware. That they built after getting burned from multiple VR companies who abused Valves good will of providing access to their patent protected VR tech for free, to help accelerate the VR industry.

    Why not make a separate gaming memes community?

    simple,

    Not a great idea to fracture a community that’s already small imo.

    PrettyLights,

    The alternative seems to be flooding out discussion and news with low effort meme reposts.

    Thekingoflorda,
    @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

    I would say this is the separate meme community, !games is the more serious version.

    PrettyLights,

    The description of this community mentions gaming discussion and news here, and doesn’t mention anything about memes or being “less serious”.

    Sounds like the community is being taken in a new direction than people signed up for.

    Thekingoflorda,
    @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

    I quickly wrote down that description a few seconds after noticing the rogue mod, so it shouldn’t be used as guide.

    PrettyLights,

    Is there any form of changelog for sidebars or community info?

    How can I be sure rogue mods aren’t changing other community rules without notice?

    Thekingoflorda,
    @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

    I don’t think that exists no, but if you see any malicious behavior, feel free to message me or any other admin.

    SgtAStrawberry,

    That link gets me nowhere. Where was it supposed to go?

    Thekingoflorda,
    @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

    Oh that’s not supposed to be a link, that’s the name of the community, here’s a link: lemmy.world/c/games
