News On Offline Mode ?

[Shzy]

Any news on offline mode? I wanna buy this game, it's dirt cheap...but this online only gives me uncertainty.

Having offline mode ensures that I'll be able to play the game at least even if servers go off. C'mon Ubisoft ?

If enough people ♥♥♥♥♥ about it then Ubisoft can probably be pressured into adding offline support.

This ^^

However if it serves as consolation despite all the wrongdoing of Ubi, they keep the servers online for many years, the The Division (one) its going to be 10 years in December and they haven't pulled the plug. YET !

I'm gonna be so fr buy it now while it's cheap, they're not gonna add it anytime soon afaik

Scamsoft will never add offline mode to the Breakpoint. One quick search on Google and you'll see the official statement, that they have "TRIED" to make it offline, but it's "impossible". Boo-freaking-hoo. What a load if bullcrap.

I don't understand how is this impossible I get game development is complex and advanced skill

But giving a game ability to run without internet is that difficult? Even online games like CS2 can run offline

My most charitable guess is your inventory and progress are tied to the servers and that's why the game, in its current state, cannot be played offline. As for it being impossible... well, it wouldn't be the first time a publisher lied about that. Ubisoft probably would've said the same about The Crew series and now 2 and whatever the newest one is called have offline support now.

In fact, some infamous examples of publishers lying about offline support are EA and Blizzard claiming that for Sim City 4 and Diablo 3. Both proved themselves liars by giving in to demand and making offline support.

Also, if you want a really weird example of (again) Activision forcing an unnecessary online requirement for a game, check out THPS remake which has an online requirement on PC and consoles... except the Switch. Even on other platforms the game still runs perfectly fine offline, you only need internet to get past the title screen. Weirder, still, once the game came to Steam, they (after a couple days of Deck players complaining) added offline support... but only for Steam Deck. Activision just proving repeatedly that their online requirement is arbitrary.

Anyway, in case you're wondering, you can indeed trick the game into thinking it's running on a Deck.

I was thinking about buying it too, But buying an online only Ubisoft game is a risk even if it's cheap.

Let me add one quick remark. Crew 2 and Crew Motorfest do not have offline mode. Scamsoft PROMISED that they will add one to both, and this was last year. No news on that front. Guess we gon get scammed again.

Development on Breakpoint is done,there will never be an(official anyway)offline mode and and I doubt Ubisoft right now particularly cares about the subject either.
Maybe if the Stop killing Games-campaign went through and Ubisoft wasnt in such(self immolated)hot water but thats for alternate timelines.

It's not like you're buying a car or a house and need to commit to a long term investment. If it's on sale, just buy it, it's fun.
