I think the only good thing about uPlay is that Origin is worse. Though it might be debatable.

Still, I wonder if Ubisoft is actually getting out of the deal more than they are losing by not being on Steam. EA and Microsoft both backtracked HARD in that sense.
I wouldn't say I despise them but I definitely grew sick of the repetitive nature of the games. I played all the AC games up until Black Flag but I couldn't finish it and that's where I ended my first round. I picked it back up for Origins and loved every minute of it... I then made the mistake of buying Odyssey which again was just too much of the same thing. It's not that the AC Franchise is bad it's that they put them out every year and they are all too similar. I need that 3 or 4 year break between games for them to feel fresh and fun again. So yeah, If I ever pick up Valhalla it won't be until it's on sale for 15 bucks.
What would you say about RPG-fication of the franchise and all the booster/filler crap in Odyssey? (Haven't played since Revelations, but I can't say I like the direction they took, even if I agree that innovation is needed in the franchise. I wonder if it's as bad as I've heard.)
