Way to go ubisoft, you guys TOTALLY don't look like complete and utterly incompetent douchebags to the gaming community.
Totally.

See, this god sim style of play lends itself very well to mouse control and PC power...and then this happens.
I was going to get this on Steam but perhaps I'll just wait for an XBL sale instead.
Bit of a shame really.

The capped framerate is infuriating, and I love how the recommend spec calls for a i7, for a damn xbox port. Fun game, I bought it on the wrong platform, fuck u ubisoft, don't even bother with the pc, you obviously aren't interested.
This game used to be high on my want-list. But it's been falling farther and farther down as I hear more and more bad news and reviews about it. Maybe I'll get it when it's like $1.50 on a nice Steam deal...
For fuck's sake. The DRM is easily fixed by downloading a crack for it, but the lack of Anti-Aliasing is just fucking stupid. I was really anxious to have this game on the PC, but now I think I'll pass.

Nice trolling... sorta. Considering this is more ubisofts bad than PC's bad tho, u still sound kinda, well... dumb?
Either that or you're just painfully unamusing trolls that aren't even clever or funny.
If u need guidance, however, do pay close attention to stealth or soffik. They can get u started in the right direction

"I really am missing out aren't I?
And people wonder why I gave up on PC gaming..."
Seriously... THIS!

I've been playing it since it was released yesterday. I'm not bothered by anything described here. Anyone here exactly playing the game or are you all just mimicking what someone else said?

"See, this god sim style of play lends itself very well to mouse control"
That's exactly why I passed on the 360 version. I hated the controls and camera. Now I'm reading in the Steam community forums that the 360 controller is highly recommended. *facedesk*

Rock, Paper, Shotgun's article has been updated with comments by people who have gotten refunds for the game, as well as a link to an Ubisoft forum post about contacting your retailer or Ubisoft Support about pursuing a refund.
I love how one bad port of a game apparently destroys an entire platform. Ignore all the other quality titles and exclusives it has to offer, this one exact bad game means the death of the entire system. Keep in mind I'm not saying PC because it applies to all the platforms.
Recently bought a Sega Saturn just because I expect consoles to become less relevant in the future and I still want something capable of playing games on when the PC takes over the market completely. At least the Saturn has some cool games I haven't played yet.
Bad graphics settings? Over ride them at the driver level. Stupid DRM? Buy the game, but download the inevitable crack for it. We don't need to put up with this BS. We transcend these annoyances.

Yeah seriously. These people are morons. Bayonetta launch on ps3 is subpar? Drop the ps3. FF13 better on PS3, better sell your 360. Do I even need to mention the Wii or portables...?

Downloaded it and had never heard about it till now, so its a shitty game or what? If it doesn't have 1920x1080 will just delete it and never look back. Game looks medicore at best.
I never play games with AA on and never got a headache?
As long as it plays 1680x1050 at 30 fps I'm happy.

I hate to belabor the point, but Ubisoft has been making shit PC ports for years. I haven't bought one of their PC ports since the horrendous SC: Double Agent port, and I would advise everyone else to follow suit.
This is their way of signalling that they don't want to have to make PC ports anymore, and I think we should honor their wishes.

Or, better yet, send them a message that this bullshit is unacceptable by, you know... not buying the product.

Or Anjo, you can actually think for a second and consider all your options rather than act like some perulent child. Some people do still support devs, in spite of minor annoyances from equally childish publishers.
Why screw the dev when the publisher's BS is easily overcome?

The most fucked thing about the port has got to be the mouse support. The other issues I might arrange myself with (well, apart from Ubi straight up lying about the DRM), but those gotta be the worst mouse controls in any game I've ever played.
Still is on the top of Steam charts. Makes me wonder, it's that bad (since from dust is a FAMOUS FPS brand and people will buy anyway) or the people complaining are that 1% of the cynical assholes that thinks everything is shit?
Anyway, I had to choose and I choose Bastion :-P

Graphical issues is one thing, but complains about the DRM? Yet no one bats an eye when Blizzard announces a CONSTANT online requirement...
Talking about double standards...

@hermes: A few things: a) Blizzard had it in SC2, so it was expected; b) a shitstorm still happened and c) they announced it. Ubisoft *lied* to their customers.
That said, I do agree with you about the double standards in general but I for one can do no more about it than to just not buy Diablo III (as I did with SC2).

I didn't ever really care too much in the first place, but if I was ever going to buy From Dust it would've been on PC. I've heard from other outlets that it's pretty good and could be great on PC, but eh - after this the little enthusiasm I had for the game has faded away.
This post should also mention how UBISOFT LIED.
They previously said it was a one-time activation.
Then proceeded to delete that thread a few days later.
Then ended by coming up with a bullshit DRM that hurts paying consumers and gives the best version of the game to Pirates.

They're not even going to get Steam sale monies from me at this rate. Ubisoft drop the DRM its amazingly retarded and isn't worth the bad press.
Thats a shame, I thought this would shine on the PC. I wish Ubisoft were not content to keep it exactly as it was on the 360. I thought it could have looked great if it was higher rez with some better AA. Mouse control may have been better for hauling all that dirt around too.
Played for a while, no bugs so far. The DRM is UPlay which is standard for pretty much every Ubisoft PC game ever and is about as restrictive as Steam.
"Ah, Ubisoft just loves making friends with gamers."
There, fixed that a little.
I've become convinced over the last few months that Ubisoft hates this industry and the people it provides goods and services too.

@wkpsrk: IDK everyone just kind of freaked out when SC2 came out and never noticed the guest account in the right hand corner of the log in screen. Sure you can't get achievements, but you can still play offline. Now I'm really hoping they'd do something similar with Diablo 3 so I wouldn't have to more than likely not buy it.
Anyways Ubisoft really needs to learn that having horrible DRM and to top it off being a shitty port isn't the way to get people to buy your game.
