And everyone's still upset about Unity, myself included.
I disagree. Ubisoft has been very consistently trash for a while.
Not really, look at anno for example. Its just the big titles that are regarded as not good.
Assassins creed has been consistently disappointing me since Black Flag.
AC2 used to be my favourite game and the modern titles are unrecognisable. They’re all just a bunch of generic, drawn out, mass appeal, play it safe bollocks.
The most upsetting thing is that they threw out anything resembling a decent narrative to draw out the series with diminishing returns. We never got closure on the templars and modern storylines are ignored now. We could have had closure and then just had everything in animus after.
It kinda bothers me that they didn’t at least go all in with switching up the story.
At this point the whole “assassin’s creed” part kinda holds the narrative and story back, I think they should just drop it entirely and have each game be its own thing.
I loved the assassin thing when I was 12, but it’s kinda cringe now.
Odyssey was pretty dam good in my opinion.
Unity had a rough launch, but that was the most “assassin” feeling assassin’s creed imo
Yeah, I do wonder about giving that another go.
As in you didn't like Black Flag, or that was the last one you did? I'm currently replaying it for the first time since it came out and it's alright so far. I completely forgot everything from the story
Black flag was good, everything after has disappointed me in one way or another.
just don't buy their games. it's that simple. go sailing.
That's easy, you can't buy them because according to Ubisoft you won't own them.
If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.
And I’ll say it again, dumb “quotation” because it only referred to convincing people to try Ubisoft+; which is very explicitly a game rental system.
(Setting aside the change going in through California law where ALL retailers must stop referring to sales as ownership. That affects Assassin’s Creed just as much as your next indie Roguelike)
You don't even need to go sailing, you can just stop at not buying their games. Ubisoft has not put out any game I'd really consider a must-play in over a decade. The last interesting Ubisoft open-world game was Black Flag in 2013. Even if you're an absolute glutton for open-world designed by committee slop, Sony basically ate Ubisoft's lunch with Ghosts of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Spiderman. Pirate those instead.
And that will improve the quality of the games how?
They'll go out of business and a more competent company will arise to replace them.
It will over time. They will notice that sales are going downhill so (hopefully) they will start to listen to community complains, maybe also firing some staff until that point because of "financial struggle".
If sales will stay the same (or be even better) then they will not try to change anything because "if it works, don't fix it"
It seems like to me some of their games simply just need another two months in the oven.
There were lots of little bugs in Star Wars Outlaws, but I found that game to be really fun, and largely pretty solid. But then they dropped updates a month out or so that fixed a lot of those little bugs. I wonder if they had just had that extra month to polish it up if it'd have gotten slammed as hard. People may still have wanted different things storywise or whatever, but on a technical level just one extra month could have helped.
