Ubisoft Sellout - Bankruptcy Speedrun Any% Thread

[East_Clintwood]

or the new characters like Wally the obese black woman hacker

Goddamn you, I've avoided the Castle long enough I'd basically put that thing out of my mind, why did you have to remind me that it exists?

As autistic as it may sound, Wally is what really ruined the overarching story for me. Seriously, it's a post-apocalyptic setting that diverged in the winter of 2017, but we end up getting this landwhale girlboss character that's basically just a walking "current year" caricature. Outside of blatant pandering, I can't even really think of why the devs shoved her in; everything she's done could have been done by one of the pre-existing characters in the setting, and she doesn't really contribute anything to the overall plot.

My issue with Wally (aside from them somehow being a landwhale in a post apocalypse), is the fact that putting a bunch of True Sons in charge of rebuilding the catle could best be described as poor fucking taste, given they're the ones who killed basically everyone there with a chemical weapon in the first place.

So, I gotta ask everyone; does anyone even play Ubi's games these days? I mean, they've made some decent games over the years, but with all of the shit the studio's pulled, I'm frankly a bit hesitant to show any kind of support for them.

I occasionally still dabble in for honor unironically their best original game in years.

Wait, she put the True Sons in charge of the Castle? Seriously?

I ask, because it's been a while since I've kept up with all of Div 2's story, to be honest; I left after the End of Watch/Faye Lau season, and I didn't come back until I saw the story bit with The Recruiter, for the Puppeteers season. So, some of the finer details of the story have been... eluding me, and even now I've been struggling to follow the story.

I tried to get back into For Honor recently; I can agree, the medieval combat is pretty fun. My only issue is the amount of wokeshit that's in the game these days; the story and lore for the game is REALLY bad, and I've had to deal with a lot of crappy players with pride flags and similar. It's a damn shame, too; I first started playing back in Age of Wolves, and I put a lot of time into this one.

never re-using that combat system for an RPG is peak ubisoft.

Nah, she is (or was) a True Son herself, and she's now basically in charge of The Castle. I think there might be some more True Sons in there as well because the settlement got rebuilt after we rescued Wally and some other defectors from Fairview.

Also lol lmao even at Massive getting bullied so hard by the Div 2 community they've cucked out on mandatory seasonal characters, and have to figure out what to do with the new season since they claimed seasonal characters were essential to their balancing. The best part is because they were stubborn retards about it, and smugly tried telling players we were wrong to shit on the idea, they've wasted an entire month that they can't really afford. I'm betting on either next season of maybe even the DLC itself getting delayed.

...Really? What was her job? Food disposal?

Real talk though, her being a True Son doesn't make any sense; they're a fascist paramilitary, pretty sure obesity isn't exactly hitting health standards. If anything, it would make more sense for her to have been camping away at some government facility; I could see some folks having some stocked-up shelters. Granted, that's just me being autistic with the details.

Actually, this does make me want to ask, albeit off-topic:

Spoiler: Off-Topic Question

Anyone got any recommendations for games like The Division series? You know, open-world shooters set in state-of-emergency/post-apocalyptic America? Call me curious.

I still play some Wildlands every now and again. I refuse to play Breakpoint because always-online scummery which had no reason being that way, like Diablo.

Might eventually try finishing AC Unity and Syndicate, as well as the original Watch Dogs and SC Blacklist, but everything else is pretty dead to me and will continue to stay that way at this rate.

 

[Back me up!]

Lol, the Asassians Creed's Shadow stuff is really ramping up now:

Besides it turning out that a white dude 100% made up a black samurai to sell a books(including creating a alt to edit wikipedia) turns out Ubisoft ripped off a bunch of real life stuff all over Japan without permission:



The Jap nerds are really starting to go all out now. Japan might sue Ubisoft like Egypt sued Netflix.

It looks like he used an alt to take over the Wikipedia page, removed the academic sources, and replaced them with his own fanfiction. This is a perfect example of why Wikipedia should not be taken seriously.



The site you linked also has a really good breakdown of how he mostly stuck to the facts when publishing in Japanese, but blatantly exaggerated and made shit up in English, relying on the fact that he was less likely to be scrutinized in foreign publications.

During World War I, Perfidious Albion promised independence to Arab leaders while simultaneously making the Sykes-Picot Agreement with France to divide the Middle East, and supporting the establishment of a Jewish state. This duplicity is known in Japan as “三枚舌外交さんまいじたがいこう (three-tongued diplomacy),” derived from “二枚舌にまいじた (two-tongued),” which means to say contradictory things or lie.

Today, Thomas Lockley, a British man has complicated the Yasuke issue by using English and Japanese as his literally “two tongues.” Outside Japan, the fabricated history of Yasuke that Lockley has disseminated in English has been accepted as legitimate, featured in the news, and visualized, creating the “Legendary Black Samurai, Yasuke.”

While the Palestinian issue has now become hard to resolve, the Yasuke issue can still be addressed. There is even a petition demanding the rectification of the misconceptions about Yasuke that Lockley has spread.

In this article, I will introduce four of Lockley’s works and examine how he has presented different narratives in English and Japanese. In summary, his Japanese works, subject to peer review, are almost based on historical facts, whereas his English works, utilizing his “creative freedom,” are filled with fanciful history. Japanese people did not realize that a fictional legend of Yasuke was being created overseas due to his “two tongues.”

not open world and not AAAA grafix, but

homefront might work too.
world if conflict if you don't need shootan. otherwise loads of zombie games.

resistance, but dunno how far emulation for it is.

I refuse to play Breakpoint because always-online scummery which had no reason being that way, like Diablo.

the reason it's always online it's because it was supposed to be ubisoft's destiny. that obviously didn't work out, but they couldn't/didn't want to change it after the launch bombed.
besides that it's fine and imho an improvement to wildlands.

re: Thomas Lockley aka tottoritom

Is there any way Japan can order him to leave the country? I know he's (((bri'ish))) but may or may not have married a Japanese. I don't know if Japan gives irrevocable citizenship to spouses.

I declared Total Launcher Death (other than Steam) on my PC a couple of years ago, and Ubisoft's one of those few companies that mandates you use their stupid launcher, which asks for my phone number every single time I start it. I decided their games aren't worth the hassle.

That's of course, aside from how everything new they release is repulsive. If I wanna play AC4, I guess I'll just load it up in a PS3 emulator.

The only Ubisoft games I play are older titles. The last one I bought was Far Cry 6 because the prevailing narrative was that it was "just more Far Cry" but it is actually significantly more shit than the prior titles.

This too, it's making even going back to play shit like Far Cry 3 and 4 a nightmare because Ubisoft Connect can't authenticate purchases I made like 8 FUCKING YEARS ago.

I actually opened a support ticket and when they got back to me three days later and I didn't reply within 24 hours they assumed the issue was resolved and closed it.

I fucking HATE Ubisoft and I HATE 3rd party launchers.

Oh yeah, there was a thing a couple of years ago where they just decided to delete Far Cry 3's DLC + deluxe edition content on PC, because fuck you that's why.

They declared they were no longer supporting Far Cry 3 on 360 & PS3, therefore invalidating the DLC for that, because of a port of that game to Xbox One & PS4. People who bought the Far Cry 5 season pass on Xbox One or PS4 got the new version of Far Cry 3, but PC users got the old one. So then we got screwed. That's not exactly a great way to keep up faith in your platform when you're one of the only publishers that mandates a launcher even when your customers buy your games on Steam.

Speaking of which, despite running everything through Ubisoft Connect, they sure do use Steam's depots to distribute all the game files. May as well take full advantage of Steam to cut corners on your own service, right, Ubisoft?


Look! It's DLC I paid for, that I can still install from Steam's depot, but can never play again without hacks, because Ubisoft says I can't. They have their own entire launcher, with their own storefront, their own verification servers, and their own depots that ensure that playing their games on PC are always the worst way to experience them, as they can't reach as far as they'd like with consoles.

It's worse now since they have shut down their forums and moved the support to Discord.

LOL this is becoming an international diplomatic incident.

Well done, Ubisoft.





The point about reparations is actually really smart, and I'm glad they're trying to outmaneuver these niggers before they start trying to swarm Japan with their hands out for gibs.

That retard is slow on the uptake. The "historical documents" he's quoting are from Thomas Lockley. Y'know, the guy who torpedoed his career over this after people found out that he passed his BBC fanfiction as real history.
