AC3 Uplay or Steam

well if you use steam, it will goes through Uplay, I had AC Brotherhood & Revelation and Tom Clancy Ghost Recon Future Solider. It still no difference. Similar to Game for Windows.

Loool fuck Uplay...I downloaded that program, and it's just a shambles but as these guys are saying, you'll have to use it anyway apparently

Get it on w/e platform you want. I prefer steam and as so buy 99% of my games from steam. If a game requires additional DRM such as From Dust needing Uplay, I either pass or get a crack.

Don't buy Uplay games on Steam (only if you are a Steam-fanboy, can't buy them somewhere else or they are on sale), you should buy them on Uplay. The worst thing you can do is to buy a direct download.

You re not the first asking this here.

If you buy it on UPlay well, you'll play it through UPlay.

If you buy it on Steam you will have 2 sets of identical achievements, 2 overlays, 2 logins etc. since UPlay games on Steam act exactly like GFWL games on Steam.
So it will be something like THIS

Also, it seams that if you buy it on Steam, the game will not show in UPlay desktop client. You will only see the overlay from Steam.

I guess you can buy it on any platform you like. I prefer retail but if I must take it digitally, I prefer to have all games from a series on the same platform. (ME 1+2+3 on Origin & AC all on Steam).

But if money is not a problem I suggest you go with Steam. This way you can get Steam promos for the game, when they sow up, and also UPlay promos for the same game, since the game uses UPlay.

It's cheaper on Steam, the price on Uplay is 50 euro.

But GreenManGaming had 25% discount on that game =P

I hope you (and your friend) dont intend to re-download the game after more than 30 days then. Ubisofts only offers a free download service for the first 30 days after your purchase. :P (Unless they´ve changed this, havent used Uplay for awhile)

Steam is awesome, uplay is not. /thread

buy uplay version, its one drm less.

I'm playing Brotherhood from UPlay using the adding non-Steam games to your game library function provided by Steam client and I can't see any difference than a Steam game: you have the game in your game library, the steam overlay while playing, screenshots...

uplay better with ahievfments

After read above post, This is what i get, Why choose AC3 on Uplay over Steam:
-one less drm, since we play trough it anyway
-no steam achievement so why bother, it's on uplay
-cheaper price, currently for me

But, i prefer Steam myself. Reason? lol i don't know, i just like Steam :P

Well, i can wait for winter sale though since i'm not in hurry....Oh wait, it's Dec 2012, the end is nigh. need to follow Connor's life to find a clue to stop it! :P

Gaben appears to be one of the richest chairmans of gaming, f**king billionaire, but his Client is good of course!
But if it needs Uplay thing, its better to buy from the source :)

P.S:
And you if u like steam anyway u can add as non-steam, so its cool!

man, buy Uplay version and then add a shortcut to steam, believe me no difference

NO difference lolololol

Dudes, Steam is a delivery system, the games are the same!
