Rayman Legends

Rayman Legends

Steam version with Uplay?
Question is the title does this game require Uplay or not?

Is this grounds for a refund? Putting down $40 thinking there will be no uPlay or other 3rd party DRM but then there turns out to be said DRM is hearth-wrenching. I have not installed Origins nor uPlay and never will. Period.

Steam must shoulder the blame for uPlay is not mentioned anywhere on the Steam page!!

Thats nice but I refuse to play a game which uses useless bloatware which does nothing but hinder the experience and requires my personal data.
Ubisoft has proven too many times that they cannot handle it let alone the security issues they had in the past years.

I am sorry, the only thing that requires your data is Origin, not Uplay. All you need to give is e-mail and password, you can always use incorrect personal data. I am not defending Uplay, I wish it could go away too, but for god's sake! Dropping such a gem due to UPlay? SERIOUSLY?

Yes seriously I do not buy from companies who do that and the only way to actively try to change them is using your wallet by not supporting their product.
Just crying about it and still giving them money wont change a damn thing, me not buying it wont either but at least I have a clean conscience.
Anyone who doesn't get this just because of Uplay is missing out on a great game. The demo is awesome.

It doesn't hold anything back from the game I've pre ordered and can't wait.
The thing is people asked for Rayman games on PC. And when it uses uPlay (it uses it on Wii U, PS3, Vita, 360 too) people refuse to buy it on PC. Than ubisoft wont see sales and wont release future games on PC and people will ♥♥♥♥♥ about Ubi abandoning the PC.

And thus the circle continues.
U play is not so bad. Its used for multiplayer on all other consoles and people dont have a problem with UPlay on thoes.

AC II, B, R, AC III, FarCry 3, Spilnter Cell Conviction, Driver, Prince of Persia and now Legends and Blacklist will use Uplay on all platforms. But on PC its a problem?

Also Uplay rewards you with uplay points and gives you little extras like wallpapers, skins etc.

So be positive :)

And I can say yes Games For Windows Live is miles worse than Origin or Uplay.
Atleast i can play Burnout Paradise online or Mass Effect 3 online.

I did have plenty of stupid hickups with GFWL.

What would we miss out on Ubisofts attitude towards their customers and franchises is absolutely despicable.

Forcing a SECOND online program after steam on you which requires a log in. Who knows how many data they can gather trough it in the name of "market research" is not acceptable.

I am playing a single player game with local coop not Dark Souls with always on multiplayer.
I'm using Steam which is already a very hard DRM so I don't want a second layer with always online on my Single Player game.

Not to mention their attitude towards their own Dev houses :
"We will not make any new IPs if we are not certain they can be turned into cash cows and milked until the end of time"

To quote what it says in the 2nd picture:
Uplay is in Offline Mode, so you won't be able to access some of the features in your game.
You can still play, of course, but you should click the Go Online button to make sure that you can access everything before you launch the game.

Yeah. I was shocked there was a setting option that said "Always launch uPlay in offline mode". Hah.

Haha, I didn't even notice there was a setting to start Uplay always offline.
For those in doubt:

Ubisoft really damaged Uplay's reputation when they tried to force an always online DRM back in Assassin's Creed 2, hmm.
But it's nice to see them improving from those days.
Decided to see what was different about the PC demo (vs. the Wii U one), downloaded and installed through Steam, but after uPlay got itself installed and updated, Steam couldn't figure out where uPlay had installed itself, and so the game wouldn't launch.

Thinking this might be because the programs were installed on different hard drives, I uninstalled uPlay and the demo, then tried again with both programs on the same disk. Exact same problem as before, didn't see a point in trying again, uninstalled.

Frustrations like this are why I haven't dared to touch any uPlay games since the problematic launch of "From Dust", and why I'm disappointed that Rayman Origins (having been DRM-free) is probably the last Ubi game I'll ever play on PC.

Yeah so always offline mode, so why have it then in the first place, I buy though steam and it is in my library.
I don't see why I have to activate it over Uplay then makes no sense other then having to install the useless bloatware named Uplay.

Well if you don't buy from companies that use their own client boycott Valve and Steam because they were the first to do it
Or is your head in fanboy heaven trying to ignore that?

They're using Uplay for online features, like leaderboards, achievements, and other things.
Yeah, I would have preferred they used Steamworks for this, but that's like expecting Electronic Arts to use Steamworks instead of Origin.
Ubisoft created Uplay, of course they want to use it for online features in their games, instead of the competitions offerings.

Plus, according to another poster, the consoles versions also use Uplay for the online features, they have the other versions set up for Uplay, so they're not going to give the PC version special treatment when it comes to this.

Anyway, despite Uplay, Ubisoft is doing alot of things right with this release, so I believe it's worth supporting them.
- This is a gorgeous and fun to play 2D platformer that is being released on PC at the same day as consoles, and this is coming from Ubisoft, which has an history of delaying PC releases.
- The PC version is cheaper than consoles versions. With certain big publishers releasing PC versions of games at higher and higher prices so they match consoles versions (*cough* EA), seeing a PC version being cheaper than consoles is always nice.
- They released a quite sizeable demo weeks before release date, I don't see many demos being released on PC nowadays, especially from big publishers.
- In an age of day one DLC and season passes, they're giving a game for free (Rayman Origins) as pre-order bonus, this is definitely something worth supporting.
Renember how Steam was forced upon you with Half Life 2 and it didnt even work half the time. No Friends, steam overlay, community.
And all that crashing and slow updates.

Steam was crap in 2004 it took them till maybe 2007 to really get better.

Ubisoft is trying but they are a big company so things move slow since they have to go through tons of lawyers. But they are trying. Uplay 3.0 is so far the best version of the client.

Give it a chance. I will :)
Does uPlay by any chance sell 3rd party content like STeam and Origin? They should you know. Seems pretty decent...in fact more fluid than Steam!!! Ftw. Perhaps a Humble uPlay Bundle is needed in due time. ;)
