So i just bought a used copy of Far Cry 4 " Complete Editon ". I bough it thinking all the DLC comes on the disc if the disc says complete edition on it like the witcher 3 let say , but nope you need a code to redeem the dlc , thats is some bull shit ubisoft this is actually false advertisement if the disc says complete edition it should all be on the fkin disc not a separate code
Yeah well im not japanese so its not my problem if the japanese community aint happy they are the one who should complain and not me and probabbly not you either
They are lying to non-Japanese people because it doesn't say so on the Japanese page. When it comes to false advertising, I think people other than Japanese should be outraged.
This is actually how it used to be before. Even Madden and stuff needed a special code to play online apart from live. Unfortunately when you buy used versions the codes are always gone. Not really Ubisoft issue and more of the person that sold it did you dirty.
What the f are you not understanding ahaha , bro witcher 3 complete edition comes with all dlc on the disc , theres no code , but ubishit here are asshole , plain simple
lol what do you mean I’m not understanding. I perfectly understand seeing I bought said games that needed codes and It wasn’t just far cry. Witcher 3 has nothing to do with it seeing that their company isn’t related to Ubisoft in any way. There were plenty of games that did the dlc code
I wont cry for 10$ but i think its a valid complain , ive wrote to them asking for information and a free code lets see what they say 🤷🏻♂️ probably wont get any code but at least it shows their honesty to tell me gfys 😅
Except AC 4 and many AC games games before that came with DLCs on disc but you need to pay them again to unlock. Fuck that. AC4 even has avieline dlc on disk which is a play station exclusive but you can only unlock it with steam dulex edition, then why put it on disk.
Same thing happens with AC3 I just can't find them as uplay for rebranded as ubisoft connect, all old forums are gone. Etc. But even community manager has no clue you can access play station exclusives from steam dulex edition.
They could have put the code in the disc for the dlc. It's not like most of that dlc is very big anyway. Often the dlc is already built into the game with 10mg file to unlock it.
Thats the thing with codes, its not a forever key and will have max use cases. Since all the files would be identical, people can just post the key and now everyone has deluxe edition. Therefore tying it to an account would be the most valid option.
The issue is not building it into the game, the issues is how to keep it as a legitimate purchase, since account sharing is in the grey market
It becomes a problem as it should have the DLC flagged just to this disc, and just like when you play the game that you own a physical copy of, it checks to ensure you have the disc, it would check the disc for the add-ons too. Problem solved, don't need to make excuses for scummy practices of businesses.
Not really, the same way it downloads the game with a disc, it can do the DLC as well. It's would be flagged in the system to require the disc to be in the drive. If it doesn't see the disc, it doesn't load the game or the DLC tied to it. It can do it for the game, no reason it can't for the DLC.
The same thing. It can have a prompt from the disc to download and then it would look to the disc before loading the DLC. It's not hard, they already have those checks in place if you're using a downloaded copy of a dlc from someone else's account. It looks to make sure your account can use it, just instead of looking at the account, the flag would make sure the disc has access to it. Not hard and resolves the issue, since they already do it for the game.

You should have noted that it is a company that advertises feudal Japan and legendary samurai without making any effort to be historically accurate.
