i dont know which save takes precedence over the other though

be ok if you can use your own pc save and then sync when saving
guess is a wait and see moment

direct quote from the story

"One very interesting benefit of this new account management system is how it handles save games. Your saves will be stored remotely on Ubi servers, allowing access to your game saves on any machine. Steam offers a similar service for select games, but this will be available for the majority of Ubisoft's PC titles. "

EDIT: incorrect info removed

so saves are stored at UBI and NOT on your PC

Will all my saved games be stored online?
Yes! They will be stored both online and on your PC.

There's something you're all forgetting, lads!
It is not so rare now as to find games where save games sometimes reach 5 to 10mb of data. Are we supposed to "pause" while this data gets uplaoded to the servers everytime I want to save?? I've only got some 2mb internet AND remember it's uploading! far slower than your downloading rate!
At best i can upload at 90kb/s, hope I won't get pause everywhere! and worst, lags everynow and then the game sends whataver strange data to the servers!!

Can't they just make a checking at game startup and that's it?!,!?

LOL i cannot afford more than a ISDN line, 128 kilobits a second.
that makes 16 kilobytes.

Hehehehe
Funny. Not.

No resell allowed ?

I know several countries where this is illegal. Including a bunch of states in the US where resell is protected by law.

They want to KILL people reselling old games. That's their main objective. This has been a subject of discussion for the last years in this industry.

No more "used" games. Everyone must buy NEW and FULL PRICE games.

Where is the Vaseline tube ?

i keep coming back to this in many replies i make but think about 100,000 people saving games times say 5mb per user limit.

thats not a lot of data space for more then 1 save and i wonder just what you can and cant save?

will you only be able to save at certain completed portions of the game so scripted layers dont have to be saved or stuff like that.

there are just so many related problems that can be wrapped around this one issue

What if Ubisoft decides not run these online services in the future? Will my game stop working?
Ubisoft is committed to being a forerunner in providing new exciting online service. If any service is stopped, we will create a patch for the game so that the core game play will not be affected.

This needs to be in the EULA that Ubi ships with the game. If it is not and you agree to their EULA, then they can do what they like with no legal recourse for anyone who agrees to the EULA.

HundertzehnGustav · 01-26-10, 09:50 PM

Question/ what if i BUY the Disk, read the eula, and decide i do not agree?
do i get meh cash back?
