UPlay Is Awesome, And Everyone Should Rip It Off

Gameinformer shares their experience with Ubisoft's UPlay. They are specially thrilled with its functionality.

[PeaSFor]

so awesome, it can't even support more than 99peoples on your friend list.....

sigh....

[RobbyGrob]

As if anyone has 99 friends who use UPlay.

[PeaSFor]

i have 187 peoples on ps4 brah, some peoples arent on last gen anymore, with a 2000 friend limit ubisoft have to get their shit togheter.

[RobbyGrob]

@PeaSFor

Eh... you misunderstood miserably. This had nothing to do with how many friends anyone has. Lots of people have hundreds of friends on many different platforms and communities such as Steam. Your boasting means nothing. I meant that among them all, UPlay is so impopular in comparison that nobody could possibly hit 99 on their friends list. The few people i know who use UPlay for a few games don't even bother adding anyone to their list.

[PeaSFor]

"Eh... you misunderstood miserably."
oh the irony... thats pretty much what you just did.

Both the Xbox One and PS4 now allow more than 100 friends on their friends list. If you have more than 100 friends, you cannot login to UPlay on either console.

btw, even if you use steam, it will FORCE you to launch Uplay and wont even take notice or include your steam friend list into uplay shit client, you may want to inform yourself before talking about this blatant bug, it could avoid you to look like a clueless child.

nuff said, kiddo.

@PeaSFor

The fact that you assume that people are aware of the inability to access the Ubisoft servers if you have more than 99 friends is sad enough.

*Sigh* Let the assumptions roll. There's always someone who pulls out the ol' "Kiddo" to make themselves feel better. Why exactly does age factor in here? I'm close to 30. And you're close to three bubbles.

I agree that it's ridiculous that the amount of friends you have affect whether you can connect to Ubisoft or not. But the fact that they haven't bothered fixing this earlier is rather hilarious as it seems as if not even Ubisoft believes that people have 99 friends on UPlay.

[dedicatedtogamers]

This is yet another example of "journalists" acting like nothing more than corporate shills.

If Uplay is so awesome, why did Ubisoft promise to scale it back for next gen? If Uplay is so awesome, why are UBisoft's forums full of "I can't get Uplay to work!!!" posts?

[jimbobwahey]

UPlay is garbage and much like EA's crappy Origin service, they both need to disappear.

[Moncole]

Origin is better than Uplay because it doesn't force it self on you when playing an EA game on Steam.

[dedicatedtogamers]

At least EA is trying with Origin. Keep in mind, this is coming from someone who doesn't have an Origin acct. and who hates Steam, but for what it's worth, Origin is doing stuff that even Steam isn't, like allowing you to return a digital game for full refund within the first 24 hours no questions asked.

[Seafort]

Yeah uplay is so awesome it deletes save files in their cloud and ubisoft don't have back ups so everything is lost.

Happened to me with AC4 I was 60% complete when they decided to have maintenance and not tell anyone so alot of ppl lost their cloud saves.

[theshredded]

it certainly is

[Maxor]

This guy has a point. One of my favorite thing about Uplay is the fact that I can earn additional content by playing a game.

[Bathyj]

The thing I hate about it is it's forcing you to join this service to get all the content, and it asks you to join every time you play the game. Twice.

[LAWSON72]

Games in the past have done that without the need of a crappy service or any service for that matter.

[Raf1k1]

TBH the additional content should be a part of the game to unlock like it has been in the past. It'd be pretty crap if you couldn't unlock extra outfits in Assassin's Creed without UPlay.

I haven't played the latest one so don't know if that's even the case with it.

[Gamer666]

That doesn't need to be in uPlay. Games can unlock and give you content on their own.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

It would be cool to have games that read my saved data from other titles of the same company and applied it to related unlocks. For example, I play Metal Gear Solid V and it reads that I have Silent Hill HD collection on my hard drive causing to communicate to Big Boss via James Sunderland's radio or have a Robbie the Rabbit keychain dangling on his sneaking suit.

[warczar]

It helps that Assassin's Creed IV is a pretty damn good game too. I don't hear too many people talking about how great the uplay integration is in ZombiU or Toys R Us Towers.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

To be honest
I unlock cricket bat customization but nothing happened.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Have on my Wii U it not needed though to play Ubisoft games.

[Activemessiah]

We do not need Origin or Uplay, something we could all do without.

[amnalehu]

I wish I could log into it.

[meday354]

So this guy dic gets hard for virtual stuffs, amusing.

[blackblades]

I like it, unlocking content just by getting points from certain trophies you gain.

[snp]

Is there a way to 'backup' files on uplay? If there is i can't figure it. I've logged into a mates account on Steam a couple of times to download games he's bought and then put them on a portable harddrive to install on his comp (or backed up my own copy, if we both own it) - is just a favour; he has very limited internet usage allowance. From what i can tell backing up isn't even possible on Uplay. Which seems... rather poor, even 'primitive'.

[urwifeminder]

Compared to origin I think its way better less hoops you hardly know its there just needs to encourage interactions better to create a better social environment.
