I woke up this morning and found that Assassin's Creed Unity, Black Flag, and Syndicate all have steam achievements
I don't know about anyone else, but i'm excited. Black Flag and Unity are some of my Favorite games of All time and i'd always wanted to 100% them, but not being able to showcase it has made it a bit hard to find the motivation. What do other people think?
Considering Ubisoft is struggling to stay relevant after saying players should feel comfortable with not owning games anymore, poor sales with Star Wars: Outlaws, and the controversy over their upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows game, I'm sure they're doing everything they can to draw people back to their games right now. Achievements bring some replayability to their old titles.
That’s what I was thinking too. As much as I’m happy about this, I feel like it’s definitely an attempt to pull players back to their old games.
At least my Achievements will sync with Ubisoft’s. Knowing Ubisoft I wouldn’t have been surprised if you had to start over just to get the achievements on steam just so they can get play counts up
Games were better before achievements. Admit it, you've played a game in way that you actively don't enjoy or long after you've lost interest, just to pop some worthless achievement.
I understand a few studios take the time to make achievements humorous or worthwhile to the actual game your playing, but that's just another reminder that most studios don't.
The only few achievements I ever actually went for were a few in HoI4 and even then it was only two or three.
It might be related to the recently announced move to make Ubisoft Connect completely optional for Steam games.
I'm just speculating since they only mentioned it in regards to The Rogue Prince of Persia (bottom of the page) but they might roll out it to everything else as well? Maybe? Possibly.
If they do remove Ubisoft Connect, I really hope the cloud saves on Steam get supported. Ubisoft Connects implementation of Cloud Saves are so buggy for me
I hope they will but it wouldn't hurt to nag them about it, just in case.
