It's not like they care. They don't want you to buy on PC anyway.

Funny, why joystiq didn´t mention the "early release" of super street for the xbox 2 weeks before the date, or arkham city again 2 weeks before, or gears 3 which was also released before the official date, or the last one WWE 12. why they only report this stuff for the p.c. market??? really joystiq, at least show some equal critic to all the consoles.....

@Hunter141072 I dont think Joystiq mentions any games being leaked at all. I remember way back when they mentioned Halo 3 getting leaked, but that game had an enormous amount of hype, and it truly appeared that it wouldn't leak early.

Sneaky? I've had its release date on my calendar as November 29 for at least a month. Don't remember where I got that information, but obviously it wasn't too secret.

Good about the DRM. Bad about the staggered release.

And finally bad that it's just more of the same.

Quit milking this franchise. We need a true sequel with interesting changes Ubisoft!

Oh Ubisoft, don't you know how many bridge you burned with the PC community last week? I'm boycotting your products from here on out until I see a major shift in your thinking and support of my favorite platform.

Hmmm.... you know,. the lack of the 'always-on' DRM sold this one for me. I think it's important to take a stand when it comes to bullshit, but to also vote with your wallet and effectively tell a company 'this is how you get crap done' when it finally manages to nail something, for once.

In the end, I think a general boycott now would only feed that 'well, we can't sell products on the PC' line of thought.

@Rhodanum

Boycotts work? :D

In all fairness though, there seems to be a perfect storm...
- current glut of blockbuster games
- awesome indie titles
- gamers fed up with Ubisoft's recent dickishness
- expectations of the usual poor quality port

People might actually not give a damn about this game.


In any case, we can't win. We buy it, fcukheads amongst us steal it, and they'll continue whining about piracy.

We don't buy it, fcukheads amongst us steal it, and they'll go: "well, we can't sell products on the PC"

Sigh...

Been on the piracy channels for a while, now. The PC controls are supposedly awful, and it lacks controller support.

@AROAH It supports the Xbox controller. It has to be detected before launching the game though. I'be had no problems with it.

That's possibly because it was an UNFINISHED release. I can't imagine they'd change the PC controls, and all of the prior games have had controller support, with only AC1 requiring a patch.

Works fine for me as well, though he may be talking about the pirated vision, in which case good.

@xakdublin It's probably my stupid friend's fault. I haven't bothered pirating it because my girlfriend bought it, already, and said it's shit. Not like I cared all that much, anyway.
