    Big ‘Comcast 10g’ vibes here.

    Ubisoft is consistent with being on my blocked producers list on steam.

        Fuck yea! I’ve blocked Ubisoft, EA and a handful of other shoddy producers/their ilk. It’s not worth even seeing their offerings these days.

          Xbox store needs this feature badly. If I click on another piece of kemco shovelware I’m going to fucking lose it.

            MS loves to weigh their software down with bloat, I agree they need this feature but I don’t think they’ll take the financial loss to make it a thing.

    At a time when AAA often sucks so much, it sounds really out of touch to say your overpriced game is “quadruple-A”.

    Is that the same shit company that was telling us to get used to not owning games? Why would I spend $70 to borrow something they probably won’t finish making before release?

      So that you can hang around and wait for the talent in the community to fix it and make it at least closer to a game worth $70

        You think Ubisoft games will have modding? Hahahaha no, no it will flop on launch and the live service elements will die within a year

    Leave it to Ubisoft to find new and inventive ways to fuck up. They really do lead the industry in making shitty decisions, setting a firm example for other companies in exactly what trends won’t be popular. Bravo.

    All AAA games and AAA studios are garbage.

    Long live the indie game developer

    Aw man I was kinda looking forward to this but this reminds me it’s Ubisoft. Which is a shame because I’m a sucker for their open world formula.

    I bet it’s just assassins creed.

    Sail the seas, activate ice bergs to unlock the map, gather five million useless trinkets.

      I played a closed beta quite a while back and it’s pretty much this. Was all set to play the whole weekend but only made it like 2 hrs in before uninstalling. it feels like just fetch quests, and checking off boxes, and I didn’t find it fun at all.

          I play one game at a time until I beat it or decide it isn’t worth playing. I’m currently playing Black Flag for the first time and am about 35 hours into it.

          I’m still holding interest, but it’s pretty damned repetitive and full of fetch quests and check boxes.

            If you’re not enjoying your time at sea, on the ship itself, I’d recommend powering through the quest line, possibly the legendary ship battles and leave it there.

            I stopped trying to 100% after AC2, and sped through the ‘housekeeping’ pre-assassination missions. Follow this guy, loot this chest, pick her pocket, etc gets real old quick

              I absolutely hated the sea stuff. I played black flag for like two or three hours then I never touched it again.

              I really enjoyed Sea of Thieves, though I wasn’t a huge fan of the direction they took the game.

    I hate the term “Quadruple-A”. The entire point of Triple-A was to be the biggest of the big. There’s no cap on that size.

    I’ll wait for initial reviews to form my opinions of the game. I’ll also wait for a price cut if I ever decide to get it.

      You can’t even do that these days. Some games are released like cyberpunk 0277, then a couple years later they’re awesome. Some games release and add in bullshit later. Ubisoft would not surprise me here.

      Immortal Phoenix rising was the last Ubisoft game I bought and I didn’t realize it was Ubisoft at the time. I was immediately reminded why I didn’t like Ubisoft. I bought it on switch, it forces an account creation and login to play local. It’s on a switch, you bloody morons, if I’m on an airplane I’m not going to want to go through a damn connect to online services song and dance. It’s also a single player game, so…

      In the end I found a workaround. Because you can’t have airplane mode enabled to play switch docked, I had to enter the game in handheld mode with airplane mode on, go through the song and dance about being unable to connect, then dock my switch and disable airplane mode. Like what the fuck? Just let me play the damn game I paid for.

      Fuck Ubisoft. Terrible studio.
