Why would they do that for Japan? Nope, it's nigger or woman for you. I'm honestly surprised they don't fuck

because then they'd have had a heterosexual protagonist and that would be unforgivable.

They're not making China play as a fat niggo? They dont have a black man fucking historical figures in their China game?
Just a coincidence I'm sure.

lol

26439234 gorillion players but still not ONE sales update. Clearly they know what they are doing, but I am surprised that people eat that shit up. Like at some point it becomes too ridiculous.

I think that some people will only realize the truth once Ubisoft goes under or gets bought by Tencent.

Without any of the framing many of the plots now just have me scratching my head and wondering what the overarching goal is... oh right, there isn't one because Ubisoft stopped caring about the narrative years ago.

The modern day story served it's purpose of connecting all three eras together and letting the overarching narrative close. The Isu were destroyed by the Sun and the ancestors served as a bridge between the Isu remnants and the modern day so that the cycle could be broken and the world could be saved.

That story, the one set up in AC1, ended in 3. Desmond was dead, the apocalypse was prevented and humanity was saved, but that salvation came at the cost of freedom. Juno was free and alive again.

AC3 had many flaws but at the very least it actually finished the story they were telling but still left the door open for the loose plot-threads to be explored.

Ubisoft flailing so hard that they haven't done anything with that is fucking embarrassing. Juno was reborn and she dies off-screen, in-between games in some shitty comic book.

Shit you know what, let the chinks have this one. If they can make it fun and not a shitty pseudo-RPG then I don't care if they make you play as Mao Zedong personally hidden blade-ing uppity academics and people that have female babies.

Just because it did, doesn't meant it did it in a good way. But despite my disagreements with how it was handled my point still stands about how they've never given us a suitable replacement for Desmond either which doesn't help the current aimless feeling.

That being said, wrapping up what seemed like the newest relevant plot line in a fucking comic book was a very retarded move. Also, Desmond had a son? Somehow? Okay. In general the whole thing was kind of retarded actually.

Which is doubly odd because it felt like they were using the faceless non-protagonists as narrative placeholders while the main modern day plot was (indirectly) building up to Desmond being revived. His consciousness still being alive in the grey, the clone bodies for Juno, and the Shroud of Eden that can resurrect the dead (iirc it's what revived Jesus) all being dropped across multiple games seemed to be pointing towards him coming back on top of them just straight up not having a replacement for him.

But then they just said fuck it, pulled a pseudo reboot with origins, forgot about all of those hints and just made some random bitch the new protagonist then replaced her with a dude when people found her annoying.

3 million players and not even a third of them bought the game so Ubisoft can claim 1M units sold. They really think they could just fudge numbers and not have people be suspicious. This is very poor form for whoever's running their socmed accounts, though I suppose there's not much one can do to spin such bad numbers.

Coincidentally, the steamdb player estimates have now stabilise around 300-400k sales on Steam, so approximately around 350K. If we use the 25% guess, then the total sales right now would be below 2 millions. Considering the platform and marketplace cut, then the revenue Ubisoft had would be only 100 millions, way below the estimated budget of this game
