Ubisoft publishes another broken game

Ubisoft continues their tradition of releasing broken games with Might & Magic Heroes VII, for which there has been a mostly negative reception.

[Grievous]

My biggest gripe is with Ubisoft is Uplay. I actually enjoy a lot of their games, but now I don't bother. I don't want to deal with Uplay. Every time I think, lets play one of their games, sorry you need to update Uplay.

They took this route of, we not as brave as EA to ditch Valve completely, but lets make everyone who buys our game through steam need to jump through one extra hoop to open our games. On top of this why not have Uplay inside the game client, like it is on the console, or at least use to be (haven't played a console in a while).

At the moment they can't even get their games right, so maybe the should ditch Uplay and focus on making games again. Please.

Ubisoft, get your shit together, I like your franchises!

i experience that with origin, regularly and then the update keeps bombing out and restarting, so frustrating

Sigh ubisoft why do you continue to do this to yourself? we know you can make good games , so stop playing around and get back to making games we can all play and love.

I play battlefield fairly regularly, so always open and updated. I find because Ubisoft games are on steam, i never open Uplay until i play one of their games.

Problem is ubisoft is the publisher...and they occasionally publish games from good developers. So for that reason I do tolerate the turd that is known as uPlay.

After a heroes of migth and maic that I cant play offline because of drm, I am looking into more GOG games for no drm games and realy enjoying not getting stuck on drm restrictions. Also cracks come in handy for some of those I really want.

Which heroes game can't you play offline. I am yet to come across one.

If you look at metacritic, http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/mi...gic-heroes-vii, you will see the ratings are fairly average but most of the gripes are bug related which can be fixed.
Arguably the best Heroes game since 3 seems the common saying if the bugs are put aside.

Same, except now my standard of buying of their games is much higher than a game from a different publisher. The game pretty much has to be a 9/10 for me to consider it, if its Ubisoft.
