It's not really my fault you're apparently not good at paying attention.
No, not really.
This is pretty fucking stupid...last year I got Far Cry 3 from UPLAY and I couldn't even LAUNCH the game! I had to use UPLAYs offline mode to play the game!
No they didn´t.
Well, yes, and now we have this rumor.Didn't Sony make it clear that it would be up to the developer?
It's not really my fault you're apparently not good at paying attention.
It's 'up to the publishers', and the publishers will use and abuse such systems.
I've decided any DRM above and beyond Steam is a no buy for me.

UPLAY
These cause so many issues and can make games completely unplayable. Admittedly, UPLAY has gotten significantly better than the past, but I can't be sure that Ubisoft won't change their strategy again.
I honestly have plenty of amazing games sitting in my backlog to play while you figure you fix your draconian policies.
i think this is inevitable. the industry is going this way whether you like it or not. maybe not at the start of this next generation but I am sure at the end of its life cycle all games will require always online.
AssCreed?
Not so much.
This is the pirate one, right?
So... No.
I don't see why ACIV would need a persistent connection.
:lolIt's an MMO just like SimCity.
Are companies going to enforce this purely on the basis of parity with durango?
It´s already like that on every system available.
All the sources go back to a random Twitter. In other words, there are no sources.
Why in the world would they make AC always on?
Oh you should´ve mentioned earlier that you can not be taken serious.
I guess I'll put up with it if they remain rentable at least. Won't buy.
ironic no?
I didn´t have the impression at all. It looked more like a standard open world single player game to me.
It does not need an always online connection to play. You'll just miss out on the MP that looks like it's built in the single player, like Demons Souls or Dark Souls, if you're not online.
If you watched the GameTrailers interview after the Playstation Meeting, they said you could play this offline.
Talk about ironic if it ends up to be true.
Isn't this game supposed to be about fighting corporations that spy on you, control your life and limit your choices by exploiting the fact that everything is always connected?
The publisher is the bad guy...
I didn´t have the impression at all. It looked more like a standard open world single player game to me.
I believe there are at least 2 single player PSN games that are always-online.I have yet to play a SP game on current gen systems that requires me to be online to be played. And this is about persistent connections.
AssCreed?
Not so much.
This is the pirate one, right?
So... No.
Wait...Sony backtracked on their "no online connection required" statement?
They've talked about other players being in your world since the start. They showed it again during the PS4 demo as well

you should check gaf threads when AC2 pc drm was announced.Why would ACIV need an online requirement? This makes no sense.
