Ubisoft seems like one of the shittiest game companies. They were one of the earliest companies that implemented Always-on DRM, requiring an app to open chests, trying to put ads when you paused the game, refusing to put games on Steam because they want more money, sexual assault/harassment allegations etc.

requiring an app to open chests? what?

I'm glad I've been avoiding Ubisoft like the plague they are for all the other issues already.

It was some special kind of exclusive bonus chest thingy, it wasn't as bad as he points it, it was like a bonus thingy you could ignore them. I honestly didn't care for it at all.

I think it was similar to the mini game ships thing on Black Flag, but on your phone and sending assassins instead of ships and maybe solving some puzzles, can't remember.

It made more sense as a phone app, because it was like on Black Flag you sent stuff and that would take x time and then you would get the results, so in a phone you would easily check the progress and maybe get a notification, instead of having to enter the game to check just that.

EDIT: It seems Black Flag also used an app, I played later and now it's a thing in-game I guessed that was the original version honestly.

Yeah last ubi game I played was the original ac and I haven't touched them since.

Yeah, in Assassin's Creed Unity.

I am glad i stopped playing after black flag. Now i remember assassin's creed as a cool series.

I really feel like I need to learn what games are typically theirs and just evade them as well. Disgusting.

Oh man, is that the companion app for black flag? I remember not being able to earn off game because you had to use it to command expeditions.

Oh wait that was an app as well? Oh I didn't know that I just have played recently and the sending ships thingy is in-game now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Guess I gotta replay it now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ah, I was talking about Unity which had some chests that you could only open with an app.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

It was basically similar, but sending assassin's instead of ships. And maybe some puzzles, can't remember.
