A story to look into... ?

[Tylzen]

After buying the latest ubisoft adventure of a game, the sequal to Rainbow Six Las Vegas 2.
It got high grades on the net for the PS3.

But when I booted my copy of it and wanted to try the online part.
Then the entire world collapsed, it's totally broken online, even with the 1.10 patch they released.

On their official forum there is an uproar, every single PS3 owner is not able to play the game online.
Ubisoft's first respons was that it had to be a user problem and not their software.

I was just wondering how it can be that major gaming sites are giving the sequal to Las Vegas on the PS3 high grades, when you're not able to play online at all.

People in masses are getting their money refunded.
Myself, I am waiting for a reply from the Ubisoft danish PR department.
Or else I will trade it in for GTA IV

So what I am wondering with this thread, is that if some in the GR staff have heard something in the Gaming world, "behind the scenes" about what is going on, and how big a deal it is?
So far hundreds has sign on their forums and asked what is wrong with their PS3 since they can't play online.

''PS3''
Well, There's your problem.

I knew you would post that

But Madster, it might be that Ps3 has connection problems online.
But the Xbox can't run the game fluently, it's glitchy and laggy atleast.

IGN is also digging into the story as it seems

I got the direct number to Ubisoft HQ in Denmark, they told me to call them tomorrow

So a game released with a bug. This happens often.

Well Stal I can see past a bug or two, that's okay, that's what patches are for, unforseen bugs.
But this is a total lack of online play.
