There are also recruitable, randomized soldiers you can bring into your legion. There are specialty characters, unique people with dialogue and stories and loyalty quests and whatnot. The way the game's structured, there are two sort of "tiers" of players you control. Keeping pace with the widening scope of the game. Something I assumed to be broken and overpowered was actually just. Or the enemy will throw torches to set fire to the position you finally secured. Or there'll be soldiers with shields, who can deflect your lovely arrows without so much as a dice roll. Or there'll be archers with better positions, with altitude, in places where they can punish you before you can build a killbox. The layout of a city will mean that any viable Overwatch position is also a great "get stabbed by the dude who comes at your flank, outside the Overwatch cone" position. Just put my little turret in position and Overwatch till I'm done.īut the maps and the encounters are so thoughtfully designed that even my Unstoppable Murder Machine is. I gave an archer an ability that let them fire as many Overwatch shots as they wanted, instead of the standard "first target only." Overwatch attacks do more damage than standard attacks, here, so it seemed like I just. I THOUGHT I had busted the game wide open. Game continues to impress me with how satisfying the tactics are. And Ubi has a long history of valuing money over goodwill. Or they could just have someone click the Shut Down button on their servers for free. But then they would have to pay some developers to create patches for all those games and that would cost money. Like at this point you're not making it possible to buy the product, so why not just give it a send-off that gets you some goodwill?

Really it feels like the proper way of doing end of life for all these games is to just remove the gate and unlock all of the single player DLC and make it free for all owners, rather than having already purchased DLC become inaccessible because they don't want to maintain the gate anymore Ubi wants to remove these games from having to authenticate through Uplay, which gates the DLC access when you log in I was saying before… I’d expect the extra multiplayer characters to be gone when the multiplayer is gone… but that makes it sound like even stuff like the Tyranny of King Washington for AC3 is going away.

For a lot of the console AC games it just says “multiplayer” but for the PC games it also says “Additionally, the installation and access to downloadable content (DLC) will be unavailable.” This support article has the exact details of what is being decommissioned. Didn't you have to launch the Ubisoft uplay even if you owned the product in Steam? If all of them are still available in Uplay, what are they decommissioning?Īs far as I can tell it's multiplayer/multiplayer DLC (which is what makes the original lumping of AssLib in strange because iirc it has neither of those)
