"Ubisoft's The Crew is gearing up for its release this November, so ahead of its launch Ubisoft has been displaying the next-gen racer at this years GamesCom and answering the questions fans want to know." - TGC
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
The Outerhaven writes: With the closure of The Crew's online servers, Ubisoft has started removing access to the game from anyone who owns it on Ubisoft Connect.
Wait. I don't get it. I reported on something that I recently noticed. I did mention in my article that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't gone to play The Division 2. That said, if this was nearly a week ago, I wouldn't know, as NO ONE REPORTED ON IT! Not IGN. Not Gamespot. Not Kotaku. No one.
You got people here complaining that there are any real gaming journalists and game journalism sucks, but when someone is acting, doing something to make something known to the public about what a company is doing. What do you do? You poke fun at it. What is it that people want? Do you want to complain for the sake of it? Or do you actually want people to do something to make those who aren't in the know aware of the shady stuff that's happening and to sound the alarm?
It's the "oh well" setting in on digital users. They don't care they don't own their stuff for some odd reason. 🤷🏽.
Good for you! People sometimes just feel the need to show how little they actually have to say. Very respectful dressing down, btw, which is another thing we need more of.
I appreciate your article,
- "If this isn’t considered both a “WTF” moment and setting a dangerous precedent, I don’t know what else it would be"
- "it could also signal other publishers that removing games from our accounts would be okay"
- "Maybe those firmly against this digital future have a point after all"
- "This. Is. Fucked. Up."
As someone against an only-digital/streaming future for entertainment content (movies/TV shows/games/books), it feels like talking into a void about the points above on this website, or on Twitter, or with my friends, etc. People don't get it. I'm strongly contemplating whether this will be my last generation of PlayStation & Xbox consoles (I'm confident enough that Nintendo's next system will still support physical media and that their 1st-party games won't have online-required installation or usage restrictions).
He is one of the long running trolls of this site, he never says anything positive. Every single one of his posts are either incorrect or flat out stupid. Pay him no mind.
I'm so done with Ubisoft, removing games one paid for is a new low...
Bye Ubisoft,
You've done f#c*ed it up !
This was me 9 years ago, when I realized all they wanted to make were filler boring games that are packed with micro-trash-actions.
Snooze! Moving on from Ubi-junk!
I see they're trying their best to surpass Activision Blizzard for being the most hated gaming company. Keep at it, Ubisoft, I believe!
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
no dynamic weather in an open world game= fail
and since when could racing games not afford the liberty?
This pretty much sealed the games fate for me. If there's no single player then I'm not playing. I don't play multiplayer. Also, the dynamic weather would've changed things up and made races dynamic in the fact that you never knew what kind of conditions you were going to hit while you're racing, which would add to the suspense of any corner you turn. Changing traction and aggressiveness.
I just think the games going to have too much wide open space and very few actual cities to race on, which is going to lead to a lot of boring driving in between cities. Granted, you can fast travel to the cities, but then what's the point of having the entire(shortened) map of the United States to drive in? It just seems as time went on, they kept on hitting more and more of a brick wall with this game engine. It sounds like the game could use another six months or more in the hopper. Getting issues worked out and creating some sort of a single player game for those who don't have Internet, have a less than reliable connection or just enjoy playing single player. Which I think is going to be the biggest downfall of this game. I think people will play it for a few months and then move on to a more fleshed out offering, like Driveclub, Forza or Project Cars.
"No loading" Let's not say none at all... There is plenty of loading, just not when you're going cross-country. My experience with the beta(Which is completely subject to change) is that loading takes a while, at least, on my PC. Once i'm in, I am good to go, though.
No weather in an open world game.....ugh not good.
"The Crew Is Always Online"
suddenly i lost all interest in the game
