Can’t wait for the uncover map micro transaction.
Whatever Ubisoft does gamers will get mad… I don’t even play their games but the bashing is kind of ridiculous at that point. Just play something else, they’re almost dead anyway, you won.
They worked hard to build that reputation year after year.
I dont want to get into this but, yeah, it’s just a soul-less capitalist business like 99% of other studios. The management sucks, but I know a lot of people that worked there over the years (most lost their jobs in past 4-5 years), and they are just developers passionate about making games. I know some are deeply affected by all the hate they got online.
I’m sure it’s not always easy to hear everything thrown at Ubisoft, but we shouldn’t hold back criticisms of greedy and, at times, malicious corporations just to protect their employees feelings.
Ubisoft has had a large hand in pushing and normalizing a bunch of the worst aspects of todays gaming industry:
- forcing users to be always online while playing
- invasive and harmful DRM
- overpriced and under-developed DLC
- unfinished and buggy games
- boring and predictable writing
- repetitive and checklist-style open worlds
- extra launchers in addition to your actual launcher
- removing access to games you’ve bought
All of these are things that got worse because of Ubisoft. I won’t stop hating their games until they make up for the damage they’ve caused.
Lol, just don’t buy the games, it’s that easy. They already layoff half of their work force, you won, Ubisoft bad, Steam good.
And I’m not talking protecting “the feelings” of employee. I’m talking about literal death threat and bomb alert being send to the devs, not the executive, because of “black samurai” in a fictional game that isn’t even out lol.
Just not buying their games doesn’t prevent them from moving the industry further into a bad direction, especially as they get more desperate.
I haven’t been buying their games since before AC2, yet they’ve had a terrible impact on the industry.
Right. Ubisoft is single-handedly responsible for everything bad in videogame. I hear it’s actually Ubi’s fault that fascism is back.
Anyway, now my coffee’s cold, thanks Ubisoft.
Nice strawman!
I have no problem with the developers, I have a problem with the people who make decisions. AC needs actual story progression and an ending. Maybe they can make a spinoff where you can play from the Knights Templar perspective and still reuse much of the same formula, but with very different gameplay.
Likewise for other IPs, they need to move on.
I don’t buy their games anymore, but I certainly don’t trash the devs themselves, they’re just building what they’re paid to build. The problem is the choices made by those in charge, not the devs.
Many people were or are fans of franchises made my Ubisoft. They’re mad to see these IPs they enjoyed being ruined, which is fair.
How to increase playtimes and artificially lengthen the story by getting players lost AF in one easy step.
In other words:
“We ran out of time to add them and the investors want the game out NOW.”
AC maps are so incredibly empty as is and collectibles went from something kinda fun to hunt for to being the most insufferable thing they do that I feel this will only make it worse.
And yes I did enjoy hunting all 400 flags from the first game and the feathers in the 2nd.
I’ll attempt to play this once it’s on sale for $20 in 6 months.
And yes I did enjoy hunting all 400 flags from the first game and the feathers in the 2nd.
Really? There were way too many and they weren’t really in interesting places. I would much prefer if they had <50 and put them in cool places, but I picked up a bunch just by following normal story progression.
I feel like I’ve been hearing this since odyssey.
