Ubisoft servers are normally this shitty or someone probably sabotaged them? I call the latter, it seems too convenient after the release of many of their games.

I am pretty sure any console like the DS or the Wii, the playstation 1/2 Xbox will beat the PC when it come to pirated games used.

To the fact I am a pirate, you should also take in account that I am a French pirate.

;D

Edit: meh , can't embed wma. Just a minute I make it a mp3 ;-) (done)

That explains why you have the handle in your mouth instead of the blade ;) Cheers for the pic, though!

I can see DDOSing being a major problem for this type of DRM... along with the people trying to play Assassin's Creed 2 right now.

Sirocco, if I was having the blade in my mouth, how would you expect me to cut people while using my hands for taking out their intestines ? ;D

Hehe, hillarious Gull, cheers for the pic and the mp3. I won't fight with someone that's able to cut you with a knife without using his hands. ;D Maybe Ubisoft will ask you to be in Assassin's Creed 3, taking place in France.

I admit that I took that idea from Roronoa Zorro, a guy from the manga One Piece.

Don't worry, I was surprised it didn't derail too much after 6 pages.

EDIT: Actually, I pushed you to it ;)

Ubisoft claims it was an attack to their servers. ::) Now THEY said it and I don't believe it :P, their servers must be crappy actually.

Quote:

Ubisoft would like to apologize to anyone who could not play AC2 or SH5 yesterday. Servers were attacked and while the servers did not go down, service was limited from 2:30PM to 9PM Paris time. 95% of players were not affected, but a small group of players attempting to open a game session did receive denial of service errors. All player with an open session during the attack were not affected.

The last piece makes me laugh a bit:

Quote:

We also confirm that, at this time, no valid cracked version of either Silent Hunter 5 or Assassin’s Creed II are available.

Yeaaaah, sure...

An illustration

Awesome. ;D

RPS said it best:

Quote:

It also acts as a confirmation from Ubisoft that their new DRM system is vulnerable to DOS attacks, meaning they are unable to ensure customers can play their single-player games.

Slightly related: OnLive launches June 17th.

Quote:

Launch titles for the streamed-games service include Assassin’s Creed II, Metro 2033 and Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.

So the DRM was only a preview of what's to come? :-X

At least through OnLive it won't send you to the menu when your connection drops a bit. Either you'll see one big glitch or nothing at all :D
