I saw my wife playing this years ago, and always fancied having a go, but never got around to it.
So a few months back we got it going so it could stream to our Apple TV and off I went. Spent a few weeks playing it in the evenings and having a nice time.
Then Ubisoft put out an 'update' to it, that broke it completely. A massive update for a ten year old game. Cunts.
So I guess I'll never finish it, because fuck Ubisoft.
Just pirate it
Not really an advocate for piracy but I wouldn't have any qualms about recommending that route to you.
It feels very much in the spirit of the game.
Is it piracy? He owns a license for the game.
Are Ubisoft or Rockstart Games pirates for using scene cracks themselves?
Technically it's not.
They don't even need a new copy of the game, just the cracked .exe file.
Arguably so, as they did not get the scene group's permission to redistribute their works.
Wait, seriously? I haven't finished it either! What broke?
I wouldn't stress it; you didn't miss much. Like every modern Ubisoft title, the game was very repetitive. You had enough playtime to see everything the game had to offer.
