Frisbees obviously.
I've only played for 30mins but my favourite bug so far is during a cut scene as the character you control is on a boat crossing the Atlantic. All of a sudden the boat vanishes underwater then the game tells me off for leaving the boat o_O . It reloads to the last checkpoint and turns the sea fluorescent green.
Just wait. Give it a couple of weeks and ubisoft will be blaming internet piracy for it somehow. Maybe they used google earth to plan the theft? Something like that. Maybe they communicated via piratebay.
Although I almost always side with publishers/developers on DRM issues, trying to suggest that 99 out of every 100 PC players of Ubisoft games pirated their software was just moronic. Also I never got to play Splinter Cell Conviction as the at-the-time always on DRM kept pausing the game every 2-3 seconds to re-establish a connection.

Maybe if they dropped their Uplay garbage and put it on steam in the UK then maybe I'd buy it. same with FC3. I hope all of FC3 gets stolen too.
you should've just pirated it, then you wouldn't have that issue.
But Uplay still exists :(
But why in the world would you care as long as all the dumb stuff was gone from it? If they had just said "we got rid of UPlay and replaced it with something with no bad features" would that have been enough for you?
Activision Blizzard and EA are both pretty close to being evil, and fight with eachother to prove their favor to the dark lord.
Ubisoft was heading that way but has backed off a bit.
I think THQ is the only large publisher I can think of that doesn't ###### over its consumers and produces high quality core games, with new IPs... but they are in financial trouble.
I'm not sure what THQ games you're referring to, but I bought a PS3 for fighting and racing games. When THQ released their UFC fighting game in 2009 it was ######. I skipped the 2010 version, which was somehow worse. They took a year off from developing of the next one. I bought the 2012 version and while it was better it was still no where near the quality it should have been.
Isn't THQ going bankrupt too?
