      We need to stop ascribing loyalty to any AAA, publicly traded game studio. At the end of the day they’re all businesses who don’t care about us. Sometimes they make great games, sometimes they make shit games, and the distinction between the two is all that matters. Ubisoft, as with all companies, has always been a bit shit and a bit awesome.

      Yup, Ubisoft, just like other big video game companies have seen a drop in quality.

Ubisoft just keeps shooting themselves in the foot with absolutely stupid ideas born out of greed and out of touch communication.

    The executives scream “Sell recolours for money. Make no new content for Y9S2. Do not communicate with our audience. Do not target core issues of cheating and bugs.”
    I don’t want to support a game where its own mother and father are battling each other behind it’s back while telling it that “We still love each other.” As fucking if. I’m not trusting a company that doesn’t even trust its own dev team

    I think something Ubisoft should do, is give each of their studios a different name that’s not just Ubisoft or Ubisoft “geographic location”. People on average dont like them, when they see the Ubisoft logo, they think mediocre, or bad games/bad monetization. I think average people probably don’t realize that the Ubisoft behind Tom Clancy is a different team behind Assassin creed. I think someone might see a trailer they think is cool, but then see the Ubisoft logo and be disappointed. That’s already hurting the game and the dev team.
    One of my favorite games is Anno 1800, developed by Ubisoft, I tried to show my friend to it and he saw the Ubisoft logo and was already not interested since Ubisoft was attached to it since other Ubisoft games he has played left him feeling mediocre about their games. He played and he really liked it.
    Bottom line is I think Ubisoft needs to rebrand and feel less corporate. Games are supposed to be fun, but they feel like a business.

  • @ogPunkcln
    @ogPunkcln Месяц назад +2

    Ubisoft backed themselves into a corner that they can't win. Pre-2015 their singleplayer games were too adult for kids and teenagers to appreciate it. You can see from the number of video essays going over Watch_Dogs 1 and older Assassin's Creed games saying how under appropriated they are. They were meant to be played by people of our current age and not when we were actually playing them.
    But after the live-service/Esports boom Ubi never looked back since. A lot of the charms in their games were sacrificed for the sake of never ending updates and microtransactions. Their new games are pretty much anything that can be pushed out the door with acceptable/mediocre art value for players to buy into and hopefully stick around for the live-service. But that also changes with XDefiant having no consistent theme at all, not that it's the point for that game tho.
    Ubisoft is the rich French kid who sits in the back of the classroom. And I feel like it's time we see the artsy-kinda emo version of him again, not the corporate bootlicking guy he is right now.
    PS. The Division 1 gameplay's giving me multiple wave hits of nostalgia. I wish The Division franchise wasn't treated as badly as it is now, from both the community and Ubisoft.

    Ubisoft seems to have this really weird idea of either beating a trend to death or fixing something that didn’t need fixing.
    Splinter Cell is a great example. The first one and Chaos Theory were perfect but for some reason Ubisoft felt the need to change how Splinter Cell is played then get upset that it didn’t work out then punish the consumers by not making anymore (beside that fact Michael Ironside had some health issues) and now I’m almost convinced that they’re gonna screw up the remake.
    Assassin‘s Creed is another one and you hit the nail on the head with it. They take the formula of the open world map design and put it into every single game beating a genre to death

    (SPOILERS for Far Cry 6, don't read if you want to enjoy the game) I don't understand the writing for fc 6. It was set up to be a really interesting story but it basically just ends abruptly. The cutscenes showed Gus Frings kid at times following his dads footsteps but then also rebelling against him. Which made me think something crazy was going to happen between him and his father. The writer clearly didn't eat breakfast that morning as he was like 'ah well what if Gus Fring just killed his own son coz It turns out that he is actually really dumb.' So now when I replay the game, all the cut scenes feel kind of pointless.

      And for a gerilla game I feel like there's no connection with the people and the characters are just meh at best not like FC4 where your choice matters and you can see its consequences

    The last games I ever liked from Ubisoft or blacklist , rainbow siege, future soldier and I’m honestly scared for these licenses when I heard Ubisoft in the futurist planning on doing a remake of the original splinter cell. I am honestly scared and that sucks. They used to be my favorite franchise.

    We've hit a point in gaming where its not about the passion anymore. People becoming devs for the status symbol over delivering a quality experience. Its cool to say you make video games for a living but you hate the work.
    Lack of passion, and the worsening economy is creating complacency across the board. People dont have time to move to a new company where they might get laid off anyways, so they stick around where theyve always been. Conditions are bad for all th grunt workers but there's no room to demonstrate accountability on any front.
    Ubisoft deserves its fall at this point. I love Siege but I haven't played since they got rid of old quick match. Boycotts are useless. Vote with your money, but most importantly, to those who have already bought their titles: vote with your time.
