Beyond Good and Evil 2 Will Require An Internet Connection

Gamers hoping to play Beyond Good and Evil 2 will need to have an internet connection in order to play the game, Ubisoft said in a Friday Q&A post.

[Nitrowolf2]

Ugh thanks Ubisoft for changing a single player game into something entirely different From what people wanted

[-Foxtrot]

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd...I'm out

Third Strike

[chrisx]

Same here. Will avoid this like a plague.

[-Foxtrot]

They ruined it...I mean the game could be great but at the end of the day this is NOT Beyond Good and Evil

We just wanted a simple sequel of a great story based platforming game with Jade as the main character continuing her adventure from the open ending of the first game. What do Ubisoft do after 15 years? Oh lets make a gigantic, high stakes open world space game which is prequel to the original game and with a huge focus on online and co-op play, not too mention giving you a blank create your own character protagonist.

First it's a prequel, then a year and a half later after the outcries you see a trailer with Pey'j in it gazing upon an evil looking Jade who looks the same age as she was in the first game. He even looks at her, recognizing who she is when he says "...jade?" So when the hell did that happen? They never mentioned she was evil, brain washed, corrupted in the first game, she was just an orphan who Pey'j took in and they lived in a light house. This is the issue with prequels people don't seem to get, now it seems we are either going to have a now sequel which makes no sense, getting rid of the plot points built up in the first game or a forced in story prequel which won't link to the first game at all.

This game has so many problems. Please Ubisoft just rename it.

[GaboonViper]

Why are they doing this?, BGAE is one of my favourite games, 15 years I've waited.

[ApocalypseShadow]

I'm out as well.

When it was first revealed, when they were stuck in the desert with the vehicle broke down, I was in. When there was a leak online of what Jade looked like being chased through the town, then jumping for the helicopter, I was in.

When they finally revealed the game, I was out. And now I'm definitely out. They took Michael Ancel's game and destroyed what we were waiting for. And if he's responsible and this was his original vision, he can shove it where the sun don't shine.

[-Foxtrot]

@Michael Ancel

"They took Michael Ancel's game and destroyed what we were waiting for. And if he's responsible and this was his original vision, he can shove it where the sun don't shine"

I can't believe he would have wanted to go this route but you never know

You want to know what I think. I think this game was NEVER going to get the greenlight as there was nothing about the original idea that was profitable in their minds, so they put it on the back shelf until one day some Ubisoft executive had an idea about an open world space game as you see in these trailers, they thought to themselves "Gee, this is an ambitious project, there's no way in hell we can risk something like this with a new IP...UNLESS" then they flick through old franchises which haven't been around for a long time until they came across up Beyond Good and Evil. "Perfect, this kind of game will do...Michelle please get in touch with Michael Ancel and tell him we'll greenlight Beyond Good and Evil 2 under some conditions"

[PhantomS42]

How can you be out if you were never in and have been trolling every single article?

[-Foxtrot]

@PhantomS42

Dude just shush and look around. Am I the only one complaining about this? I mean seriously?

If you aren't going to add to the convo then go away

Troll calling others trolls...ironic.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Fox,

If they gave him some conditions, which is probable, I would have just said, "forget it." Hold on to his integrity. His principles.

It's like when Kevin Smith had that script with Nicolas Cage as Superman. It was way off base of what movie goers and I would have accepted. I was glad it was thrown in the trash bin and not made into a movie. And I actually think Kevin Smith is a cool guy. Even went to go see him at the Hard Rock with Jason and Katie Morgan was there. It was funny. But that superman script was trash.

BG&E just looks way off. The first game had heart, emotion and felt like a Zelda game. The music was awesome. I had to download that music it was so catchy. But whatever they're making now, won't be purchased by me. And, online required? Oh hell no. I don't buy online only or online required games. I would love to purchase Firewall Zero Hour. But online only and one mode and no single player is a no from me even if I love vr and it looks like it plays great for a shooter.

[AnubisG]

Yep, same here. Was looking forward to it but not anymore.

[TheGoodestBoi]

On the brightside theyve saved me from spending $60

[ApocalypseShadow]

And before I forget, Jon Peters and Tim Burton who also were part of the trash superman scripts.

Now I would just settle for a remaster of the first game like Crash and Spyro got minus the digital crap Activision did for Spyro. I could live with a remaster. Not this prequel.

[kreate]

I won't even buy it for $10 until the DRM is dropped.

[beulahland]

You won't be missed, kid.

[bouzebbal]

Why are publishers willing to kill the franchises like this??

[Kingthrash360]

Smh...gaming...slowly dying.

[UncertainCategory]

Fox... did you play the first game? It is very clearly mentioned at the end of the game that she was actually an entity called ‘Shauni’ but has no memory of this. Pey’j knew this and kept it a secret..

With that in mind, her being some dark evil thing in the prequel actually makes a lot of sense. The first game constantly references things that happened before, even the ending puts Jades entire past into question by revealing that she’s some supernatural being and not a simple orphan.

Considering all that we don’t know, the next game being a prequel fits really well, to give context behind the crazy ending of the first game and hopefully set up a proper conclusion later on.

I won’t argue you on the rest of your points, I’d rather a good single player game than an online one myself, but I think you’re dead wrong about everything you said about the plot, and it’s very clear to me that you haven’t played the original game in a long time.

[lelo2play]

My hype for Beyond Good and Evil 2 is dying...

[anonymousfan]

Mine is dead

[SegaGamer]

Mine was in critical condition as soon as the first teaser for it was released at E3 last year. Now, it's completely dead. I agree with Foxtrot above, this isn't Beyond Good and Evil, they just took the name and shoved this new IP onto it.

The links to the game are so small and everything that is linked to the original feels forced to try and shut up the fans saying that it's nothing like the original Beyond Good and Evil.

If any serious Beyond Good and Evil fan is excited about what they have done, then they were never a proper fan in the first place. I just can't imagine why any fan of the original would be happy with this.

[Potnoodle999]

Dead...LONG DEAD!

[Derekvinyard13]

Wait wtf why??? Isn’t this a single player game did I miss something? Is there multiplayer?

[Nitrowolf2]

Yeah I think it’s no focused, large space to explore, planets and ect. Iirc cities are all detailed but outside of that things are generated

[Exvalos]

Bottom line man the success of fortnite is screwing everything up devs now think all we want is multiplayer games with shallow to no story

[neutralgamer1992]

I hope ubi suffers some serious financial problems just so they open their eyes and ears and listen to our feedback

I am do sick and tired of the fact EA gets all the blame yet ubi are way worst. They are selling MT in single player portion of their games

Take two ceo said we aren't charging enough for content

Activision are putting financial people to run the development side of their business

Ea is Ea

Ubi are greedier than most

This is a 4 horse race yet only one horse is being looked at

[william_cade]

UBI, EA, Bethesda,Activision, Capcom ....the list is almost endless

[NarooN]

I was expecting a single player journey like the first one. What the hell is this always-online auto-generated world bs? They just made the game in a way nobody asked for. It's probably gonna bomb and Ubi deserves it.

[oasdada]

Im out

[trooper_]

Wow that's stupid.

[sampsonon]

yes, don't try anything new. keep making the same games over and over again so people can complain that your games are always the same and that you never try anything new.

Nitrowolf2 speaks for everyone and you should have known this Ubisoft.... the nerve.

Bitchhh and complain should be the mantra for this gen.

i give the benefit of the doubt until i try something. if i don't like it i turn and go on with my life.
imagine a musician being told what to create? oh! wait! that's exactly what the last two generations of musicians have had done to them.

oh well, copy and paste i guess.
excuse me, going to listen to The Ramones

[The_Sage]

Oh the irony...

A bitch fit that includes bitching about people bitching.

[sampsonon]

@The_Sage: maybe you bitch so much that when you read someone's comment about people complaining about everything, you hear it in a bitchy tone.

so stop being a bitchhh all the time and fix your problem.

[remixx116]

You sound straight crazy bro, there is a difference between locking someone into a cycle to force profit and unnecessarily drastically changing something to make a profit at the expense of the fans it was originally meant for.

Look at hip hop from the 90s compared to the straight shit we here played on the radio now.

[addictedtochaos]

Hard pass. Shame, was really looking forward to this.

[Double_O_Revan]

Yea, they didn't "Nail It" like they thought they did.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Nail in the coffin is more like it. I didn't wait nearly 10 years for this crap.

[robtion]

Yep I loved the original. It is the only ps2 game I still own. This sounds bad though. Boo Ubisoft.

[UCForce]

Are you seriously, Ubisoft ? Ugh, this is why I hate Gaas. Publishers just love heavily modernization on consumer.

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

Yup companies will get lazier with this s**t

[deadfrag]

Thats why we should not support this kind of moves by developers and there publishers.Talk with your Wallet and dont buy it or pré order.

[NotanotherReboot]

What is Gaas?

[UCForce]

Game as servers.

[maybelovehate]

Games as a service.

[NotanotherReboot]

Ok thanks for the explanation but can you pleas not downvote my comments when I've don nothing wrong it upsets me

[Rachel_Alucard]

I didn't downvote but on the internet when you tell people not to do something you are just pushing them to do it, since you are reacting to it.

[UCForce]

That’s because people won’t take you seriously.

[Atomicjuicer]

GAAS means you don’t own the game any more. You can’t sell it or trade it and eventually it will be taken offline and cease to exist.

It puts all the power into the hands of the publishers and takes all consumer rights away.

It also destroys retro gaming.

[Cobra951]

Assuming you're serious, if getting downvoted upsets you, internet forums are not for you. You could say that the grass is green, and someone will find a reason to disagree with you, or downvote you just because they can.

[Godmars290]

Sadly, people round here are just reactionary like that.

[Kitt92]

This is why Ubisoft is the worst publisher/developer they make buggy as shit games have a million different type of editions of their games and shove them full of micro transactions and make changes to games no one asked for

[deno]

I don't know man. It's pretty difficult to beat EA

[XiNatsuDragnel]

No thanks ahhh sooo close

[Mr Marvel]

ok, goodbye... and NO buy.

[GaboonViper]

Oh for fu........screw you Ubi.

[lociefer]

Who asked for this shlt ? No one asked for a prequel, and then you force it into an online game so you could fu*king milk that last bit of revenue, screw this shlt

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

I wonder how backwards the focus meeting for this games were:

Fans want a sequel - Ubisoft makes a prequel
Fans want a single player adventure - Ubisoft makes the game online focused.
And obviously Ubisoft had to make the game into an open world title.

[-Foxtrot]

Fans want a platforming game - Ubisoft make an ambitious open world space game

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

I just don't understand the direction of this game. I personally feel Ubisoft is setting themselves up for a big flop.

[Chaos_Order]

Ahahahahaha!

Can't wait to see this fail.

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

Not buying this game. My internet is inconsistent ..l..

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

This actually disgusts me. Ubisoft have really lost their way.

[on_line_forever]

I will never buy this game

[staticall]

That's so cool, can't wait for the Battle Royale announcement and "time savers" microtransactions! /s

P. S.: It's so dumb, if you want to force multiplayer into a SINGLEPLAYER game, just make it a separate mode. I've been waiting for so long to know the end of the story, Ubisoft, and now you make it an online-only game, with blank protagonist, coop, open world game. Why every game by Ubisoft has to be online only, coop, open world game?!

[Psychonaut85]

What a piece of shit company. They truly just don't give a fu€k anymore what fans want.

[MoshA]

Ubisoft is rage funding this game at this point. They want to make up for all the money lost. I can only imagine the amount of microtransactions, fake delxue/ultimate editions, skins, paid exp boosts and other filthy scummy ways they will defile the game. Hope all time fans don't think this game will be directed at them lol.

[OhReginald]

They are seriously shooting themselves in the foot. It being online inst the issue, I play plenty of games that are only online. My issue is that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is online only, that just hurts to say those words together. I'm no longer interested. RIP

[Platformgamer]

and that's why the only game i'll buy from ubisoft will be a rayman game and nothing else.
everything else they made is mediocre at his best

[yellowgerbil]

Don't worry, a new Rahman is coming... it's a battle royale mmo.

[badz149]

they will make Rayman requires internet too. just you wait!

[UniqueGuy91]

Their Assassin's Creed franchise is not so bad though. They are very much underrated.

[Platformgamer]

the only good AC games, after the 3rd, are the chronicles ones... because the aesthetic and the gameplay is similar to rayman origins/legend.

[Araragifeels]

Assassin's Creed modern story is dead, and, using the brand name to milk the series which is no longer an assassin game.

[nommers]

oh wow...ooooooh damn. I was always curious about this game and how it would be, but wow. Nevermind then.

[nommers]

I guess they don't require my money then.

[akurtz]

Lol

[leahcim]

Ughhhhhh
bye

[TheColbertinator]

Good luck selling this trash to gamers with short attention spans who breathe through their mouth.

Goodbye Beyond Good and Evil. One great quirky game is all I will ever remember you for.

Screw Ubisoft.

[pietro1212]

The game could be good, but this isn't the Beyond Good & Evil follow up I waited 15 years for.

[addictedtochaos]

Ubisoft is quickly approaching EA and Activision territory.

[King_Noctis]

Add in Bethesda in there while we’re at in. All those past great developers have turned into shlt.

[Shikoku]

That's unfortunate and may decide if I buy this game or not.

[RizBiz]

My copy won't. Thanks, PirateBay!

[maybelovehate]

So does this site. who cares.

[Ricegum]

There it is.

[UCForce]

Seriously ?

[bamillington]

good

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Why fanboy?

[AK91]

Welp I’m out then

[Critic4l_Strik3]

Oh well...

[phatak]

lol Im kinda happy my favourite ubi franchises like Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell are dormant, hopefully Ubisoft learn from this backlash and don't do this crap with those 2 franchises

[jznrpg]

Wow . They really want this to fail don’t they .

[maybelovehate]

Technically the first game failed. It was a commercial failure.

[m2stech]

Theyre featuring seamless co-op from what they said, every game is forced to have multiplayer these days anyway.

[Deathshadow]

You sure every game is forced to have multiplayer? That's a lie. There's no multiplayer at all in God of War, Spiderman, Horizon Zero Dawn, Detroit Become Human, Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian, Until Dawn, Infamous Second Son, Ratchet & Clank, The Witcher 3, Resident Evil 7 etc.

[m2stech]

ah yes I should have written most instead of every, but its christmas time take it easy maybe as new year resolution dont be a grammar nazi spending your days fixing internet comments

[343_Guilty_Spark]

What doesn’t require internet

[badz149]

Halo SP?

[Deathshadow]

Shadow of the Colossus PS4. No internet required. One of the few games this gen that doesn't require any patch till this day. In fact, no patch have ever been release. Still version 1.00 & fully playable since day 1

[maybelovehate]

You do realize that is like a 15 year old game.

[Deathshadow]

@maybelovehate You do realise it released in Feb 2018. Which is less than 1 year ago, not 15 years ago. Yes the PS2 version came out in 2005. But the question 343 Guilty Spark ask is "What doesn't require internet?" The PS4 Remake certainly don't require internet to play. Its rebuilt from the ground up with current gen tech. Go watch Digital Foundry's coverage of the technology behind the game if you're clueless or thinking its just a simple lazy remaster. It's probably one of the best remake yet on any platform. On PS4 Pro, you're able to play it in either 1080p 60fps (lock & stable framerate with no drops) or 4K 30fps. All this right out of the box since it first released, without the need for any Day 1 patch to fix any bugs. Besides SOTC, what other games out there doesn't have a single update/patch till this day?

[UCForce]

God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn and Spider Man.

[maybelovehate]

GOW, Horizon and Spiderman have all had countless patches and updates. PS4 was designed around being connected to the internet which is also how Sony keeps their console up to date.

[UCForce]

@maybelovehate I know but those games almost have no issues at launch and very polished and no heavy modernization on consumer. I think you reconsider your thought.

[Segata]

I'm out. Ubisoft just killed the game.

[ShockUltraslash]

Thanks ubitrash for telling us that we are not the target audience.

[NotanotherReboot]

I'm still buying and supporting Ubisoft Montpelier to fund Rayman 4 & Beyond Good & Evil 3

[winter_hill]

Why? So they can be forced online with no SP? People like you are a big part of the problem.

[NotanotherReboot]

Bullying is not condoned on N4G.

[UCForce]

It’s not bullying. It’s criticism on Ubisoft foolish decisions.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Why can it be a SP game like Starfield?

[william_cade]

fuuuuuuck - why!? I was so hyped for this and now I am not going to buy it.

[PiNkFaIrYbOi]

Well this game is screwed.

[Ninver]

F.A.T.A.L.I.T.Y

[Imalwaysright]

https://i.kym-cdn.com/photo...

[MWH]

And that ladies and gentlemen is how you murder a beloved franchise.

[Elda]

Why didn't they just stick to making a current gen sp campaign sequel? They ruined the game already.

[Wrex369]

Wow.

[winter_hill]

Those bastards. What if the game turns out to be half decent, and then years from now I won't be able to play it because they've shut down the servers? I hope ubisoft burns in hell.

edit: Changed my mind, it won't be half decent it will be total shit: “Beyond Good and Evil 2 is an online, multiplayer game with a rich co-op and seamless experience”

LOL fcuk your rotten game.

[DaleCooper]

No thank you. :(

[omegaheat]

I have this question for Ubisoft snd it's directors. Whose idea was it to make this game a Sea of Thieves, Anthem or whatever looting mechanics game type this may be? Haven't they been listening to the arguments about gamers growing tired of the primary focus of online gameplay and lack of single player games? Why even bother calling it Betond Good and Evil 2, if it has no relation to the original game that clearly ended with a cliffhanger? Oh I see, Ubisoft thinks they can ride the wave of the hype built upon gamers' expectations while all along they've been in the background plotting how man microtransactions they can use to make players keep paying for this game until the next one releases. Rinse and repeat. Damn this new era of videogames. I hope Ubisoft lands on its face.

[Shineon]

Online is getting out of hand

[Exvalos]

Did nobody learn from the disaster that became fallout 76, good job ubisoft wat to screw an amazing game up.

[BlaqMagiq1]

Automatic pass. Single player should NEVER require an internet connection. Ever.

[stormhawk]

There is no single player, this is a multiplayer game about space pirates.

[UCForce]

But original game was Single Player game focus. This one just killed the franchise.

[BlaqMagiq1]

And yet you have the option to play solo. If I want to play solo I should be able to without the need of an internet connection.

[tontontam0]

Lol ubisoft really went beyond beyond good and evil.

[DimensionalSound]

Cocksuckers.

[BenRoxio]

Thanks Ubisoft you saved my money.

[Rhythmattic]

Good←←←←→→→→Evil ➔➔ Beyond= Ubi

[Gatsu]

Why the hell???

[poppatron]

I played the original when it came out on the live arcade, and although I liked it, I certainly didn’t love it. I personally am seriously hyped for this, inter galactic, space hopping, captain your own hand picked crew off badasses RPG.

I can understand why you’re all upset it’s so different from the original in certain game play elements (although I defo remember vehicle segments in the first one) we really cannot comment on the story of this new one yet because we know bugger all, and it’s the story you all loved in the original right?

The scale has clearly grown exponentially but I think it’s still relatively easy to draw a few gameplay parallel between the two from what we’ve seen so far.

They said that it was a quasi shared world/destiny esque game in the first engine demo over a year ago.

Give it a chance guys, I’m totally in! I’ve been burned by my optimism before, but I’m withholding any harsh criticisms and judgements until I’ve seen waaaaaay more

[HighPlayer28]

Ubi you had one job one damn job! Smdh at you idiots right now.Totally destroyed my dream sequel with this bs move. It's called beyond flop and garbage now.

[Switch4One]

Ah f***, I can't believe you done this.

[Hellbound1978]

Dammit, nostalgia boner confirmed dead! In a couple of years you won't be able to play ANY game without an ethernet cable firmly shoved up your ass, even if it's titled ''Awesome Single-Player 2020''. This is already irritating with what IO has done to the Hitman series.

[2ndhandcorn]

I will give it ago when its $20 never finished the first game though.

[tulholdren]

Wow really OK then it's a pass do you guys even understand what people wanted in a part 2.

[Artemidorus]

Boycott.

[Kainbrightside]

Ubisoft isn't an American based company right? Somebody should of told them a large portion of the people in the U.S have data caps, slow, or non existent internet services. I think developers are pushing to quickly for this sort of thing with large patches and constant updates and internet connection.

[Cobra951]

No offline, no purchase. No exceptions.

[amiside]

Just for Profit... Not for Players... 😔

[TargusX]

I'm out

[TheDarkArtisan]

Game over..

[Tzuno]

We will see.

[RobertNekita]

well damn, not gonna consider buying then, i'm not that happy when i have to have constant internet connection, if there was an offline mode than it would've be acceptable, like MGSV:PP

[agent13]

after their stupid denuvo and drm failed, they're gonna make all of their games require internet connection.
this is a big mistake! not only this won't make pirates buy their games it also makes most people not buy their games.
i liked the first game but i will never buy an online only game, i had enough issues with nfs 2015

[bellome]

Ubification confirmed.

[Strafe]

Ubisoft is dog shit. I used to love many of Ubisofts games, but in recent years they've just ruined everything. I borrowed Assassins Creed Odyssey the other day to give it a try, just like I did with Origins the other year, just to see if I could like it. I was kinda enjoying it to a degree but the AI was awful, it lets it down so much, it just pulls you out of the game. It was just another Ubisoft Icon collectathon, which is what Ubisoft is now, just the same shit in every game they make.

With Beyond Good and Evil 2 they could have redeemed themselves somewhat, but no, they have to touch that with their Ubisoft stick of unoriginal shite and kill every fans hopes and dreams. This isn't what we wanted, if they've listened to anyone it wasn't people who were fans of the original.

Totally disappointing.

[esherwood]

Bunch of baby’s Jesus. May not be what you visualized the sequel to be but looks pretty impressive to me. If it’s fun I play it

[CodeNameTBW2]

lame

[ajax17]

R.I.P.

[shinoff2183]

Thanks ubi, just saved me some money. Thats an instant no buy for me. Its just as bad as spyro having to download 2 of the games.

[mt]

what the bullshit !!

[Yui_Suzumiya]

No one asked for this bunk

[V3geta]

You'd think with Destiny under preforming and all the other wanna be online only games failing they and others would get a clue that not every game and company are suited for this kind of game. I give Sony credit for sticking with single player games and most likely seeing this trend for what it is, a time bomb that will most likely kill every company involved with it.

[isarai]

i mean i already figured as much the moment they started talking about online features and creating your own character. Everything was pointing towards this being an MMO structured game, which is the exact opposite from what anyone wanted from a BGE2 sequel. Well ubisoft prepare for this IP to die once again

[Hardiman]

Look this is terrible and I'm completely out but it's not as bad as it seems because there are so many more amazing SP games coming that help take away the sting for me. If I'm honest I expected something like this with what was first shown and how they mentioned players ships etc.

[_LarZen_]

Look at the Amish community losing their marbles (again). Welcome to the 21th century you neanderthals :D

[adonisisfree]

Why?!?!?!?!?

[inxine]

niiice, will be watching it on YouTube then :)

[_LarZen_]

You'll need a internet connection to watch someone play it on YouTube....

[inxine]

touche xDD

[Nacho_Z]

Unfortunately barely anyone commenting has an internet connection so this game is going to pass them by sadly.

[Nacho_Z]

I understand that people who liked the first game wanted a completely different game to what this is. I never played it and I think this looks cool. No problem with the online connection, it's not like I haven't got one and seeing as 90% of the games I play are SP offline I think I've got room for this.

[carcarias]

Well, I might not be happy but my wallet sure is...

[Bismarn]

Y'all realize the protagonist is a pig right?

[Dom_Estos]

Well, the monkey said "fuck" a lot.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Okay, I know I'm a little more used to it thanks to Warframe, BUT THIS ISN'T WARFRAME.
I hope they change their minds on this; otherwise sales are gonna take a hit that they shouldn't have to take.

[Tsar4ever01]

So this game is useless without a internet connection, ie Not Off-line Playable? BIG F**KING LETDOWN!! And I was starting to have high hopes for this game.

[WeAreLegion]

Lol. It's like they're completely incompetent.

[sampsonon]

welcome to the 21st century.

[Dirtnapstor]

Wow! Nobody really knows anything about this game, yet everyone claims “they’re out” as if all details have been disclosed. Lots of assumptions here. I’m not liking the always online thing either, but come on guys....

[sampsonon]

i find it funny that only a few years ago people made fun of single player linear style games. what happened?

[The_Sage]

Well that's just stupid.

[Hellbound1978]

My gripe is FORCED internet connection in games that are considered 'Single-Player' which is becoming more common. It's the gaming equivalent of taxes, I'm sure it has it's purposes and someone is benefiting from it but that doesn't mean I have to like it. If they are making an MMO game then fine, but if that's the case why call it BGAE2 unless they are A: Vastly out of touch with what fans of the original want in a sequel. or B: Just shamelessly trying to cash in on name value.

[strayanalog]

Well... thanks for nothing, Ubi. Any hope I had for this title is gone now.
