Ubisoft released a game about 3 weeks ago that I can’t honestly review…or even play. This is the most unplayable game that I’ve come across in a while. It’s quite unfortunate, since I thought Ubisoft was fixing their problems on PC by removing some of the more restrictive DRM and having a nice Rayman port available on Steam. Instead of going through this in too much detail, let me give you a list of the things that I experienced and noticed. There are worse things on the Ubisoft forums.
- No keyboard and mouse support. It works, but barely.
- Uplay DRM.
- Freezes if I cancel matchmaking.
- No servers for multiplayer.
- Single player desktop crashing.
- Patches 1.1 and 1.2 apparently broke the game harder.
- Broken resolutions and low-res textures. Anti-aliasing seems broken in some way.
- Lack of VOIP, you have to use third-party programs like Skype. This is further made worse since I don’t know anyone on U-Play.
- Menu lag
Some day, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Some day I will be able to play this game. But not today. Or tomorrow either. Apparently the team is working hard on the issue. The question that I’m begging to ask is: how did this get past quality control? Are the console versions this bad too?
I did happen to get a review copy of the game, and I thank Ubisoft for that. I might try to play the game later on my Xbox, but I’m expecting similar gamebreaking bugs in a different package.
its weird how a massive budget AAA game like GR: Future Soldier has day 1 issues, but the free to play ghost recon online has more polish

i have noticed a disturbing trend of free to play games being flat out better then retail games in terms of quality and content, i mean christ tribes ascend has massive issues but its still better then any recent retail multiplayer game with an active (Australian) community
Isn’t it kinda gross? How a company can spend millions on a -excuse my lack of any sort of sensitivity- pile of shit?
How is it possible that a game such as this, funded by a large company, AND made by someone who has done this kind of thing before, can be something so terrible?
It’s the exact same thing as Microsoft running Bungie into the ground, from what I gather, at the very least, it was just constant pushing and pushing to create. Maybe this is why developers are doing so terribly? Being milked for their ideas until they run dry, then tossed aside?
*shrug*
Because they know or assume retards will buy it anyway. And they are usually right now that consoletards infest even the PC ecosphere with their distinct lack of standards.
