I'm glad it's doing well.
I think Ubisoft gets much more hate than they really deserve, the make good games overall. I loved avatar frontiers of pandora (stunning and fun), i loved star wars outlaws (it feels lively and like you are in a grand scale adventure), I loved motorfest and i'm loving resynced. I know they're kind of formulaic games and realeased maybe at a buggy state but they're still good, I simply don't understand the hate.
They tend to be amongst the worst offenders in the modern gaming space. Big games are formulaic, chase gaming trends, online requirements, fake physical releases, microtransactions/battle passes (even in single player games) etc. With very few outliers from that list. Credits due on this release though!
I take Ac games over spiderman games. Playing spiderman 2 and it's literally spiderman 1 with bigger world and better graphics. Even the car chasing sidequest is exactly the same and it's repeated many times . Even sidequest are mostly the same which I found disappointing in spiderman 2
Ubisoft Indeed gets a bit too much hate, I hope with this and the remake of Rayman they can get their financials a bit more in order. However it's also important for Ubi to invest in New ip's they relied on AC and Far cry too long. Avatar was a good start.
The Ubisoft case needs to be a warning for Devs to not count too much on formulaic games but also innovate every once in a while. Even Watch Dogs was on the safe side. However I do agree the gaming space would be worse without Ubi than with it.
Yeah, I never really understood it either. Ubisoft consistently outperforms several other publishers in terms of game quality and appeal. Sure their games are formulaic, open world games with towers you climb to reveal parts of the map, crafting systems, and RPG elements like skill trees, but that formula is a good one for my gaming tastes at least.
They're generally great games, but they're formulaic to a point where you can only play so many of them before the formula gets stale. Others are somewhat guilty of the same formula, but at least they often have more variety in the games they release.
Personally, I stopped playing them because they became too long. I slogged through AC:Origins' boring campaign and quit about half way into AC:Odyssey. The formula is fine for about 15, maybe 20 hours. But once they started hitting 50-60 hours, I quit.
I PROBABLY would have tolerated the games if they stuck to the classic formula or simply were shorter. But they became the definition of filler, they stopped respecting our time.
Oh yeah, there's definitely been some games in the series where it really seems they made them long for the sake of long rather than because they had so much great content. Personally I loved Origins, even if the main quest felt perhaps a tad long, and I didn't have an issue with Odyssey either, although in hindsight it was definitely too long. But Valhalla is what really killed my interest in the series for a while. Luckily Mirage took a while to come out, and it didn't overstay its welcome. Shadows was a bit on the long side again, but I don't think the main quest was really the length problem there.
But yeah, I can definitely see why not everyone might be able to enjoy the games even as much as I do, especially if they play other Ubisoft games. At this point, I don't think I'm ever getting another Far Cry game, and I've been eyeing Far Cry 4 for a long time now - and now that it was dirt cheap, I actually decided I don't want to play it after all, because it's just not good use of my time...
From my memory, the primary issue I had with AC:Origins were the side quests. They were very boring and you were basically forced to do them. You would be too weak to continue campaign missions and die quickly. However, it was one of my favorites in regard to exploring the world.
I didn't want to do side quests in AC:Odyssey. Female warrior bounty hunters chasing you every few minutes was also really annoying. So I quit and didn't bother playing the series beyond that.
I played Farcry 4 back when it came out and I enjoyed it. That was also a period with few 8th gen games, but it was objectively good. I intend to play Far Cry 5 eventually, that seems to be the favorite among fans.
To each their own, certainly.
I'm sure I would have enjoyed Far Cry 4 a lot a long time ago, but at this point, the formula has gotten to me too much. I did enjoy Far Cry 3, even though I played it long after release, but I did also feel it getting old towards the end.
The reactions seem a bit mixed. I'm seeing a lot of videos showing content was actually stripped back compared to the original. Bearing that in mind, I won't buy it until its like $20.
Lucky for you, most Ubisoft games hit $20 within a few months.
Original Black Flag is a great game, and the new version seems decent!
It runs better on PC than Shadows did, much higher FPS.
First proper sales numbers from Ubisoft in a while.
Good news. We will probably have a remake for Ezio Trilogy and AC 1 now.
well deserved
