I know right they are like "$40 micro-transaction"...real ly?

NerdStar74107d ago

They have more expensive ones too.

There is a $99 for AC Unity.

annoyedgamer4107d ago (Edited 4107d ago )

How many companies has Ubisoft bought and shut down? How much liberal politics plague their games? Remind me about all those "homophobic oil executives" who just hate?

As bad as Ubisoft has gotten they have not surpassed EA.

AC Unity adopters are getting a free game. What are Battlefield 4 players getting? Another DLC.

Both suck and are releasing shitty games and are like the Michael Bay of video games.

Their games have big explosion but often (not always!) no substance at all.

ironfist924107d ago

Have you played ANY ubisoft game ever? Doesnt seem like it.

Yes, lets forget Valiant Hearts, I Am Alive, Rayman Origins/Legends, Child of Light, and many other great non AC titles like the Tom Clancy range or the Far Cry games.

But no, screw Ubisoft coz thats what all the cool kids are doing!

I'm thinking that's why he included the (NOT ALWAYS!) ....just a thought..... ;-)

Hoffmann4107d ago

I play video games since the mid eighties and have around 40 Ubisoft games at home.

However, since a couple of years they are simply not the same company they were before. For gems like Rayman, Child of Light and maybe FarCry 4 this year you have the uninspired Watch_Dogs, the Assassins Creed series, terrible review embargos and their games are getting more bugs with every year it seems.

The ubisoft of the ps2 generation and the ubisoft of today are so different to me, its crazy to think they are the same company. With their thousand man teams, a lot of their games really lack soul in my opinion.

cemelc4107d ago (Edited 4107d ago )

Holy crap this!!!!.

Their products seems like these souless structured games, is not a work of art or inspirational, its like going to mcdonalds its never great, just gets the job done.

Truly sad

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

“Ubi soft is trying to emerge from a rocky few years“

^ THIS after Ubisoft’s fluff pieces about how great they are doing after Assassins, Attack on Titan and laying offs. The hype fell the floor apparently.

Agent758d ago

I was a bit gutted with The Division, too many bells and whistles like Far Cry. Never rated Prince of Persia or The Crew. Rayman, it’s too long in the tooth, lay it to rest.

PRIMORDUS8d ago

Far Cry and Assassin's Creed, this is all Ubishit can make. It would be better if Ubishit just close down, and sell their other IP's, like Splinter Cell, Beyond Good and Evil, etc. Far Cry and Assassin's Creed can just die, that is enough.

KicksnSnares7d ago

We need a Far Cry 2 remastered/remake.
