    I was a huge fan of Ubisoft. I basically stopped playing any of their games after Assassins Creed 3. With the exception of AC: Black Flag, which I got from the high seas, ironically.

      I haven’t played AC. My experience lies mostly in Far Cry. I got a free copy of Far Cry 3 with my Radeon HD 7770. Little did I know that’s where the series would peak. It’s one of the games I wish I could play for the first time again. Vaas is easily one of the best written and (and especially) acted bosses in a game ever. He’s such a pain in your ass until you kill him, then the final boss sucks so much, you miss him.

        Far Cry 5 is the best story IMO

        the boss characters are great and the girl that uses the powder to attack you is the greatest part in the game. Sad that she isnt one of the end game bosses because that part was rad.

        My favorite easter egg is also, if you don’t arrest the dude at the very beginning of the game, the game ends and you see the credits like you beat it

          Have to respectfully disagree, but I’ll give that FC5 was consistently pretty good throughout. FC3 started off the first half on the highest of notes and finished somewhere in the middle before sending you to horny jail for being bad boy. FC5 was a solid B+ game. Not one for the ages, but definitely a fun way to kill a few hours. FC5 does have really good co-op. My wife and I each have 100+ hours in FC5 specifically because we played through it together several times.

          I thought Faith was a pretty good character. Especially as you dive a little more into her lore. Her dudes that pop out of nowhere can be annoying though lol

          We also did the easter egg ending.

    No worries, at no point in recent years have I been feeling I “owned” a ubisoft game. Not even played them. I’m that committed to follow thge instructions of some dipshit.

    Could also be that their latest game on ps5 looks worse than a 5 year old PS4 game.

    Also despite the repetitive nature of those games, I still always stuck by games like assassin’s Creed, but I didn’t even give the new one an hour before I just got sick of it

    Shareholders need to get confortable not owning the value of their share.
    Seriously, it in the name: they hold shares not their value.

      They should also get comfortable paying taxes when the of their shares increases. (If only that were true…)

    I think in the context of why he said this was something like an interviewer asking “what would have to happen for cloud gaming to take off and see bigger numbers”

    There is enough to get mad about to waste time getting mad at imaginary things.

      I think a lot of clickbaitiness comes from asking a radical question and then running around with the answer. I think take 2 was asked if gta 6 would come to GamePass and they said no it won’t, which somehow became a big news lol

      So, saying people should “get used to cloud gaming and subscription only” in the future gets a free pass, even if the people that said it are the one trying to create cloud gaming and suscription only games?

        Who said that?

        Be specific, include the word “only” as you quoted, and very important: Don’t lie.

    I for one appreciate that ubisoft chose the top down view of poop as their logo. it’s the perfect symbol for everything they represent and they’re incredibly brave for wearing it proudly on their chest.

    I think this is correlation without causation. Or at least not exclusively, or even mostly. Don’t get me wrong he’s still a dick.

      If you view the statement as a cause itself instead of a symptom, sure. Ubisoft has a shitty corporate mindset and that is directly reflected in the quality of the games they publish.

    Pretty sure their recent stock drop has more to do with them releasing a bad game based on a dying IP than on what an exec said months ago.
