Why people keep saying that Ubisoft is no longer a good video game company, like they were in the past?
Because they were in the past. They made rayman, beyond good and evil, a few good assassin’s creed among the stuff. They made great games once.
Also Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Rainbow 6, Far Cry, etc. Those may seem a bit ‘played out’ nowadays, but the titles they were putting out 15-20 years ago were really fun. Personally Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 might be my favorite game ever made.
I think I would still enjoy some their newer titles.
I just don’t think I would enjoy them enough to deal with the predatory behavior from the publisher.
Ignoring the predatory shit my gipe is how every game that’s come out for the last few years has become paint by numbers.
There’s a reason the term ubisoft game has become shorthand for a certain type of game.
I’m just over it in all honesty.
I’d answer but I have to allow like 80 UAC prompts windows first
If you weren’t old enough to play thier good games, or not even born yet, then …ok
I don’t remember them being a good video game company. I never liked any of the games they made (but obviously that’s subjective). I went through wikipedia for the list of their games, and only ones I found that I had ever bothered playing was Breath of Fire I/II, Myst. They’ve always kind of been a middling developer; I think the games I listed they were just the publisher. They release something, it’s popular for a week, it gets mixed reviews, and then it falls to the wayside again.
I’ve never bought shit by EA or Ubisoft - not because I’m boycotting them or anything, just because their shit isn’t that good. They just feel like they’re lacking ‘soul’. Watched plenty of friends play through Assassins Creed, and Far Cry, Rainbow 6, etc - just - never looked any good.
They did used to make really good games. It was just a very very very long time ago. Many of the gamers that associate Ubisoft with being shit weren’t even born back when they used to make decent, innovative games.
They made a Jaguar game once. That’s about it.
