Unless each one of those "A's" stands for "ASS", I beg to differ.

I haven't bought a game in years.

So it has potential to be a quadruple fail and sink the company?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Never heard of this title before.

Can confidently say that we're winning the battle on this front.

It's basically them trying build a game around the funnest part of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, but somehow taking a decade to actually do it.

I'm only renting it off Gamefly because there aren't many other new games right now. I'll probably return it within a week.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

They just had to remake Black Flag for next gen and PC with all the bells and whistles, and they would have sold fuckloads.

Nah I'm good no thanks

Halo 3, Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Mass Effect 2 were all triple A games. Whatever this game is that they are trying to peddle, is not better than any of the previous games I listed.

In fairness, there are tons of shittier games that are considered AAA. this statement isn't meant to defend Skull and Bones, it's meant to show how this rating system has been diluted to useless marketing.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Hey guys, I'm developing a quintiple A game! It's real because I just said so! Also the price point for AAAAA games will be $145 cause that's how awesome it will make you feel.

p.s. - planned DLC releases during early access for only $99, what a bargain!

They make The Crew unplayable in a month, without any chance to ever play it again.

And they expect me to pay 70 € for this? What?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, oh, no, you won't!

People should have stopped buying ubisoft games a long time ago

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago

This game will be $40 in 6 weeks and discounted to $25 during a summer sale.

Ubisoft needs a gut check to the bottom line...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Gotta pay for all those sponsorship dollars they throw at streamers promoting this turd.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If their game was that good, we would read about it up and down the net. The fact that I read about it here for the first time tells a different story.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Eh, judging by the games we do read about "up and down the net", I'm dubious of your claim...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

Another A is crazy af lol. Ubisoft lives in their own world I guess.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago

If this dude was a real gamer, he would have called it "S-tier".

[–] [email protected] 35 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Where is Ubisoft getting all this unearned confidence from? Their games have just been circling the toilet for the past 5 years or so.

It's called Confiance Blanc in France.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Its $70 because they're making back that expensive nightmare its been whether you want it or not.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

As a cannabis enjoyer, I feel in this case, as is usually the case in my world, quad claims are bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

I want whatever Ubisoft is smoking. First they're telling people that we don't truly own their games and now they're making AAAA games? I wish I had that confidence in myself.

I honestly miss the era of "okay" movie games. They were never great, but games don't need to be "great" to be fun

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Excuse me, battle for bikini bottom and the shrek 2 game were FIRE.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

They never went away. They just aren't advertised as much.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

This game is a collab with the Singaporean government, their workforce has terrible salaries plus benefitting from generous federal subsidies. Is that not enough for you Yves?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Fuck ubisoft 🏴‍☠️

[–] [email protected] 36 points 7 months ago (2 children)

They can barely make AAA these days though

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

They can barely make ~~AAA~~ A these days though

FTFY

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

They've been copy/pasting the same games over and over, a typo was bound to happen.
