why is everyone so bloodcurdlingly commited to a few lines of text that are not easy to program with games that use launchers, why don't you try adding achievements? im willing to bet you'd give up within a minute, its not as copy paste as you think it is.

The game already has the triggers programmed within their own launchers....so it literally takes 10mins of hooking it via code/script through the Steam works client. The manual for it isn't even that hard to understand, it just takes someone with the admin account abilities to do it...which if they have the game listed on Steam, then someone has that same access.

They won't do it cause ubi likes to treat their company like they are sony, micro, valve, or nintendo. When in reality they are a decent oldschool company who had classics like prince of persia and flashback back in the day. They have good games, I'm not big on squad tactical stuff but the clancy series is big money. People say AC is big but really imo AC is hit or miss, its the clancy games that keep ubi's big head making them think they are more than just a talented dev team..

Its not a good business practice treat your company like a big aaa console creator... Its why they keep losing money and getting criticized if they would start embracing the rest of the industry and try and work with other companies instead of backing this.... Fanboy targeting exclusive nonsense they'd be a better company.

Ubi is an ok developer but they are not going to get my time every day... They need to realize that.

Same, the only reason I got this was cause I had funds from selling other games trading cards. Never got into the tactical shooters either...last game like that I played was Socom 2 US Navy Seals on PS2. I love the first 4 AC games and Black Flag the most, Origins and Odyssey were somewhat decent because of the setting. Really wish they would also add achievements to the old POP trilogy...those games are classics.

Yea ubisofts got a lot of classic games on here they don't do anything at all with, beyond good and evil, splinter cell, pop.

Its just really sad to see how they snub their old titles and won't add any new features at all, ac1 even which is a game that came out on 360 with 360 achs. Don't make any sense and bethesda does it, lucasarts is absolutely awful about it.

I bought this cause it was scott pilgrim on pc, I don't follow everything the ubi franchise makes. The only clancy/ubisoft game I'm halfway interested in is splinter cell 1. Or farcry 1, since I loved 2 and primal. Lot of gamers like me don't like starting at the 12th game in a series. I don't, why would I? If I want to get into a game series I'm gonna buy the first one like I did AC. Ubisoft is only trying to capitalize it seems off die hards who been following 1 particular series for dozens of games. Its not a good business model. They could be a lot more and reach a bigger audience if they'd just do a little bit of focus on their classics people don't ask for much. This is why Nightdive can demand 30$ for an overpriced remaster because people don't wanna spend 300$ on a katana just cause new car smell.

Achievements vs. Ubisoft! Add Steam Achievements!

I will not be buying your game without them.

frick you

[| Mister João © |]

This makes no sense. I've been playing Avatar and it has both Ubisoft and Steam achievements; why can't you guys do the same here?

[RobotMan #08]

Still holding off to play this, please add Steam Achievements.

[Mantis]

It's just silly to deprive yourself of some truly fantastic games because of a lack of achievements. Sometimes I like to achievement hunt, sometimes I don't care. In this case achievements would be nice but I don't find it to be a deal breaker because it's simply a really good game and achievements are trivial in comparison to everything good about this. This goes for other good games.

You want achievements? Create some Steam backlog collections in your library. Two of them can be "Currently Playing" and "Completed". Every time you complete a game, put it in "Completed" and watch it grow. I get a lot of personal satisfaction from simply beating games, more so than achievements which I consider icing on the cake. Of course, other people don't get to see your collections since they're not viewable publicly. But if you only want achievements so that other people can see them, in the end it's just a d*ck-measuring contest. Achievements are fun to earn, but in the end nobody cares.

[Bighead]

Denuvo + Ubi Launcher + No Achievements = ultimate deal breaker. I bought this on PS3 a long long time ago, and these days this game is perfectly emulated on both RPCS3 (PS3 emulator) where I do play it from time to time, and perfectly emulated on either of the Nintendo Switch emulators. You can even play the game with achievements in RPCS3, have all the characters unlocked from the go, so this port is arguably a worse experience. I suppose it could be argued that having it on PC/Steam could be a convenience, but a small one if any. Me and my friends have done couch co-op playing this game in an emulator multiple times. I just load up RPCS3, double click the game, and we're in the game having fun. In it's current state, the PC version adds unnecessary hindrances to playing in comparison.

What purpose does Denuvo serve at this point? What benefit does having a second launcher give us? Who is it stopping from pirating it? Anyone who really wants to play this game for free, can easily play it for free. I'm really curious as to the business logic behind putting Denuvo in a game that pirates are going to pirate through other means, but puts off potential buyers whose principles dictate they will not support the software cancer that is Denuvo. Like this isn't the first game to do this, so I'm really genuinely curious as to the benefits. Does it really urge more people to buy it? Is it reflected in its sales figures? How many would-be pirates really end up buying this version instead of just emulating? I imagine someone somewhere must have some kind of data on these questions.

I suppose the only reasonable answer to all these questions is that this is an extremely low effort cash grab from uneducated buyers.

You never actually touched on how these ultimate deal-breaking factors inconvenience you.

[FafnirChaos]

Ubisoft going with it's pride.

[ohshi]

I received the game as a gift from a friend and I'm still waiting for the Steam Achievement to complete it...

pls....but must you have internet connection.after ubisoft log in

[Yaerveth]

Typical Ubisoft. You deserve what's coming to you. Add achievements!

[FafnirChaos]

Maybe if you listen to your consumers, you wouldn't have went down the road you did... oh well, we'll just wait for tencent to remove your ubisoft DRM and add achievements.

It's a fitting end, to a stubborn developer/publisher.
