Uplay isn’t the issue for me here…in fact if it was a Steam key I’d be less likely to be attracted to it (since Steam launches Uplay anyway, and I’d rather minimise unnecessary active processes)…nor is Denuvo…it’s the fact that is uses VMProtect AND Denuvo. I’m happy for you to want to protect your game…fair do’s. But make a choice…I’m willing to believe that Denuvo on it’s own has negligible impact most of the time, but just as multiple AV’s can interfere with each other, I have a hard time believing that both implementations don’t cause some form of bottleneck.
As launchers my experience with both Uplay and Origin have if anything been better than with Steam as they’re more streamlined.
Aside from the DRM and uPlay it’s a great deal, Origins is one of the really well done and polished games from the AC series. Just look up reviews and Steam, you can hardly find any negative opinions about the game and it’s rarity especially when it comes to Ubisoft. Not to mention it’s only one of the games and more is coming, it’s really a no-brainer for $12.
ps.
If you decide to cancel subscription plan right after buying, HB should display page where they ask you to “pause” the subscription instead and you get $3 off next monthly humble bundle.
You know what…I’ve been using Origin a lot lately, and it’s a lot better an experience than Steam. The only annoying aspect is the way it updates. There said it…my experience with Uplay mirrors this.
I’m sure a lot of hate comes from people with little experience of alternatives to Steam.
I’ve never tried the Uplay launcher really - only wanted to play Prince of Persia Sands of Time and the Assassin’s Creed stuff they gave away one year. Dunno why people are so mad at it.
Steam is odd to me, but it doesn’t crash super often so I’m not that mad.
Origin works okay - have played Sims 2 and a bit of Plants vs Zombies.
GOG - only just started on that. No controller set up at all, so it’s Joy2key for that. Trying to play Alone in the Dark 1 - you know, one of those old DOS games where you die a whole lot. Saves, ftw.
I may be a bit obsessed with Edward Carnby
Epic - got a few of the freebies, never installed the launcher. Still would love if just play Hades - it’s so pretty, versatile and fun looking and the voice acting…
twitch client +prime games?
just listed everything i remembered that had a client and did games
-would have put Humble on there too, but they don’t bother with a launcher and doesn’t seem to force torrent on you with still having direct downloads
so yea, Twitch… rip 'em up good Pylinaer !
there’s Twitch client games? didn’t even know; i know u get games from Twitch prime through Amazon prime, but i didnt know those went through a client, i assumed those were direct download or something
does Twitch sell games too? or is it just for free Prime games?
i’ve no idea man…
i just know twitch has a client, and does games
whether or not those 2 are even connected at all i can’t be bothered with(would kinda assumed was downloaded via amazon/direct download too),
-but they have both, so in my category they fit for a rippin
They do sell games. It’s not very well organized, to be perfectly honest.
You can find their game store here:
…
after a Google search, it seems the game store shut down last November due to how little it was used. The fact that I didn’t even know that speaks volumes.
Well, Twitch, thank you for your service. You made me a DMC fan.
From my experience the Twitch client is the worst them all, with no features except for launching the games, and I don’t think you can even launch them if you’re offline. But they’ve given away some great games that I’m happy to play even if I need to use their client.
