I thought Watch Dogs Legion was underwhelming, I regret buying it and will probably never finish it. AC Valhalla has been awesome so far, though it runs poorly on my PC compared to the last two AC games. At the beginning of the game you have to sail across the sea and you dock your ship at your destination. I had my character simply standing on the dock and watched the FPS fluctuate up and down wildly, from 90fps, down to 20 fps and every area in between. Very odd.

I agree with absolutely everything said here.

Ubi have even flatlined their creative projects like Ubi Arts just to focus on making the same series more frequently. What's worse is the lines separating their properties are starting to fade. Assassins, Far Cry, Ghost recon and so on are starting to show the same DNA. Huge open worlds with the same tedious busy work.

Theyve gone from being one of my favourite developers to one of my most disliked in recent years

Just the usual Ubisoft = Bad article, which ironically has nothing new to say. Here’s a surprise for you— developers tend to stick to what they do best. For the past 13 years or so, Naughty Dog has only done two IPs — Uncharted and TLOU, and the gameplay changed very little between each installments. FromSoftware has stuck with Souls and Souls-like games for the past decade but nobody’s calling them out on it because their games tend to be good. I could list many other big studios doing the very same thing people accuse Ubisoft of doing but it would be a waste of time.

far cry 2 is my favourite Ubisoft game.That time when it came out omg . . . graphics, physics, gameplay . . . . all top notch

AGREED!!!

Ubi games are very competent, well-made etc but generally have no love in them, very hollow overall.

How the mighty have fallen ubisoft was one of my favorite publishers during the ps2 era..

I would more then happily laugh and point at Ubi but not when EA is still a thing

UBISOFT = Cool Art and Nice Tecnology but Terrible Games.

Ive been saying this the whole generation

But yet we praise Sony for doing what actually?
Using all the Ubisoft/ Wb trope in Spiderman?
Heck, they even kept the same map.

All these sites shit talking ubisoft, but still giving their games high scores.
pfft whatever

They start with The Division and see how many ways they can vary the mechanics. Viola! New game.

Agreed. From time to time their games are fun to come back to, but the level of staleness and lack of creativity just seems mind numbing.

Well I really like them. It's mostly because I love the AC games, I've tried Far Cry 4 and briefly Watchdogs. I do also like Rayman, Rabbids, Beyond Good and Evil, Rainbow6 Siege, they make many smaller games that I like. They listen to their communities way more than people choose to believe it seems. They've put rating systems in some games to get direct feedback from the players. They've certainly had a big shock recently with their psycho directors but as of now I'm going to trust that they are trying to fix their workplace but only time will tell on that one.

Still one of my favourite studios

I haven't played any Ubisoft game since Black Flag. Until now, I lucked out and got AC Valhalla Utimate Edition on PC for 12 USD..and I'm really enjoying the game so far. Not having played this franchise for so many years really was a smart move.

I can play Far Cry until I die.

UBISOFT has been taken over by the pronoun squad. So its no surprise the recent "Controversy" in assassin creed is getting patched. Sanfrancisco pronoun Hipsters love to be the killjoy. https://news.ubisoft.com/en...

Even the shitty annual Call of Duty games feel fresh when compared to Ubishit games.

I'm almost 100 percent certain that EA and Activision are more safe and boring.

While I do agree that Ubisoft makes the same game different location; the root of the problem lies with getting excellent reviews for it, lots of propaganda, awards, etc. Is not just Ubisoft but the majority of AAA (don't know why they're called like that) game developers/publishers have given up and is all about profit. They're notorious for endless DLC, microtransactions,etc. Which is why I stick to indie games

Realised this ages ago Ubi go for a satisfying enough idea and core mechanic then pad the game out with large boring environments with little reward for exploring. over it

Masters of reskin

More like u be soft

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
