The past 24 hours have been deeply emotional. Reading all your public and private messages has reminded me of so many moments, people, and shared dreams from the past two decades. I have been archiving all of them, something to revisit one day when I am old, smiling at what we built together. From the messages of colleagues, friends, and fans, a recurring theme has emerged that I feel the need to clarify. Many of you have expressed surprise that I would choose to leave Assassin’s Creed after so many years, especially given the passion I still hold for it. The truth is simple: I did not make that choice. Ubisoft decided to transfer the leadership of the Assassin’s Creed franchise to someone closer to its new organizational structure. A different position was mentioned, but it did not carry the same scope, mandate, or continuity with the work I had been entrusted with in recent years. I want to be clear that I hold no resentment. Ubisoft has been my home for all my professional life, and I will always be grateful for the people, the projects, and the belief that together we could create worlds that inspire millions. But I also owe it to my teams, past and present, to say this plainly: I did not walk away. I stayed at my post until Ubisoft asked me to step aside. As someone who grew up inspired by Star Trek (TNG!), in the later years of my career I came to see myself as the captain of the Assassin’s Creed ship, someone who leaves only once every soul on board is safe. And that is exactly what I have done for as long as I could. Thank you again for your messages of support. They mean more to me than you can imagine. Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

So they finally told the asshole that drove everyone away from the party to go home after everybody else already got sick of his shit and already left anyway?

Something something shutting the stable door after the horse has already bolted.

Do wonder how much of it is due to Tencent asking Ubisoft to scalp heads for the AC franchise degeneration.
 
Steam Next Fest is going on and there are two Ubisoft games that have demos.
First is Anno 117. This is a 93.99 gig game, that has denuvo, requires Uplay to log in and has a one hour playtime limit.

Second is Heros of Might and Magic Olden Era. This is being joint published by Hooded Horse. They offer a 5 gig demo, with 4 factions and random game generation in the base demo. With two more factions being added when it launches into early access later.
I think it goes to show just how Ubisoft doesn't understand their audience anymore.

It's more likely them winding down the in-house Ubisoft studio and opting for a cheaper 3rd party liaison relationship (like Gamefreak and Nintendo, Square and Sony, Silicon Studio and Square, etc).

You don't need an Executive Producer in house when you are no longer Producing in house.
 
I knew Shadows was a flop when they got really quiet and refused to release sales numbers.

They would have loved to brag about how the BBC samurai game was a huge success and how the chuds were so owned if it sold well.
 
Ubisoft's last great political game has to be Far Cry 2. You're in war-torn Africa within the middle of waged war between two factions to kill the arms dealer known as the Jackal. There's tapes scattered around the map where a native is giving an interview TO the Jackal on his motivations for being involved.


THAT's how you write a villain. It seems like Far Cry villains now HAVE TO be outlandish in characterization. Contrast that with The Jackal, he looks no different from any other NPC. His gruff, calm voice with his philosophy on arm dealings is horrifying, yet thought-provoking. If he was written today, he'd likely be some racist, cartoon caricature. He doesn't care about Africa, just whoever is the highest bidder.

To put this into a hopefully informative perspective, under perfect conditions on a perfect 1 gigabit (i.e. fiber) internet connection, it will take just over 12.5 minutes to transfer this blob of data to a local machine. Steam's pretty good at multi-tasking installations, so it unpacks data as it arrives and generally speaking once the download is finished the game's installation is also finished.

Steam does not control uplay interactions, however, so there is an unknown and unpredictable amount of time required in getting uplay started, signed in, etc., before the "game" can be "played."

In other words, "in a perfect world," simply installing the game, setting it up, getting signed in, etc., constitutes over 20% of the time you are likely to ever spend with it (factoring in the in-game time limit).

Modern AAAA gaming, everyone!

Anno has Roman niggers in it and from what I've seen, the new Heroes game sucks. Not a big surprise, after 5 the franchise has been a disaster.

On top of the servers crashing randomly, there's a Halloween event where most of the stuff is in the store but you can unlock an outfit (only for the first week) via a bounty that is RNG-based and tied to another RNG loot (the small warhounds roaming in the open world).
They worked so hard on this that sometimes the warhounds spawn underground or get stuck inside a building because they can't trigger the door to open.

The bounty drop itself being RNG is BS, especially since it can definitely take more kills than they claim on livestream. The hounds themselves however aren't really RNG. They have the same spawn locations as the loot goblin so you can farm them. They don't even require you to log in and out like he does since they're only on 1 min timers.
You can basically just bounce between spawn points and farm them, especially since there's a bunch right near fast travel points. I did mine in a loop, DZ south entrance > jefferson trade centre > DCD HQ > lincoln memorial.

I've not seen that, I think because most of the ones I was spawning come from manholes so they just appear. The only issue I sometimes had was the one that spawns near DCD does so on the back of a truck trailer. You have to stand on the truck cab to shoot which is a problem if it's the purple flame one, or the shield one since sometimes it's able to escape back inside while it's invulnerable.

There is also another couple of bugs with the event:
1)You can extract the unique talent from the named pistol, although you can't put it on anything else, and this will likely just be removed from the talent library in the future. Same thing happened with the xmas sniper rifle a couple of years ago.

2)There's an arm patch + backpack trophy not mentioned in the patchnotes. They're supposed to come from a special crate near Grand Washington Hotel, but instead can be gotten from any of the special olive weapon crates (although the hotel one is probably still the quickest to reach). They also overwrite the normal loot from those crates so you apparently don't get anything from them after you have the items.

Also about the Houndsman rewards, I thought you would get the mask first then the full skin but actually it's one piece per bounty. It's insane.

Yep, I found that out by watching a video on youtube, lol.
 
I really, really have a hard time comprehending why anyone would put a nigger as a Roman legionnaire into any fucking game. Even auxiliary would be questionable. Anno 117 will probably be a great game, but this one thing really turns me off.
