Does it work without uplay? Like southpark 1? Or does it need uplay?

The game launches through Uplay when you start it.

but it has steamachievments or?

The Steam edition of South Park: The Fractured But Whole requires Uplay to launch, and it contains Steam Achievements.

Boo. Wish I had known that before buying the game. No one wants to use your stupid, additional log in server just so you can get more information on your player base.

Edit: Holy crap, you have to eventually also install google authenticator just to get uplay to work just to play the damn game. This is why some folks pirate games; just to avoid this kind of hassle to play the game you've legally bought.

Exactly. Ubisoft doesnt seem to realize the no1 reason Steam became so popular - convenience. Instead, you have 10 different things between you and your game.

To be honest Uplay is better than Steam. Steam was just first and have games from the most of publishers.
Support and rewards are better on Uplay.

And Google Authenticator is optional. Only if you want better protection for your account.

Even if that were true, and judging from the constant connection issues I keep reading about - it's not, I simply don't want:

1. To have my games depend on a company like Ubisoft
2. To endorse the whole "Each publisher with his own little platform" bs. If Uplay was designed as a competition to steam, like GoG, that would be great. But not only do they limit their game offering but go out of their way to incovenience their customers even when the game is bought on steam; and with stuff like Denuvo.

Thanks, but no thanks. I bought the first South Park game and would've bought this one. But Ubi wouldnt be Ubi if they didnt prioritize perceived earnings over everything else. Well, hope it pays off for them.

Didn't realize it contained Uplay, wish I had read this first. Just requested a refund.

steam does not refund you in this case. If you have activated it. :( I had the same problem with watch dogs 2 ;( I hope they changed it but I guess not. Good luck

I'm about to as well. this is some dumb BS. I've been trying to play the game with a connection failure longer than it took me to download the game.

If only whole thing worked together.

[graybush]

why sell a game that doesn't work? this is dumb. im having the same connection issue with uplay. hey steam, fix this problem or dont sell the game. why did i just buy, and download, and install something i cannot use?! WTF WTF WTF WTF
