Do you wear a blindfold and earmuffs before playing a game? Because the art is the worst I've seen yet, at least for a platformer published by a company as big as Ubislop. The music is not far behind, it's basically the songs you hear in Islamic memes.

It's the second PoP game in a row where the aesthetic style is a complete turn off to me and will prevent me even trying the game out. Someone at Ubisoft must hate the series.

I'll bet pounds to pennies that 90% of the dev team weren't alive when the first PoP dropped, let alone played it.

Devs should make it a prerequisite that you play their back catalogue and answer questions about the lore before you're allowed to work on any respective franchise.

Ubislop has had to fire people left and right for the last 3 years because of all the people that were just there to collect a paycheck.

Who knew that hiring people for their identity instead of their merit would lead to having a bunch of positions held by people that don't give a fuck about videogames? You know, the very thing that consumers have been telling these dipshit executives for more than a decade?

People were simping for them last year because of the Castlevania DLC, I also think the purple artstyle is kinda bad, but the first showcase was already better than Prince of LA.

Not even close. They're a shitty AAA gaming corpo for sure, and it's on a bottom five for sure, but miraculously, there are a couple other AAA gaming corpos that are even worse
 
Ubisoft is definitely in the top 5 when you add everything about them up: Some of the worst, if not the worst anti consumer practices in the west, absolute slop that they have perfected as an art form, contributing to every game being a service and open world, ruining some of the best IPs in the business(Rayman, Rainbow Six, Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, even Assassin's Creed wasn't complete dogshit at one point), and having some of the most insufferable developers and PR in gaming. When you take each on its own, they're not that bad, but when you add it together...Definitely in the top five, not anywhere close to number 1 however. Lest we forget they are also one of the most open companies talking about monitoring each of their gamers and reporting them to the police, even if other companies do the same thing you don't see them boasting about it.

Point them out, please. I can't think of any off the top of my head, even the things Ubisoft was good at have been replaced with something worse or just gone to shit over time.

Are you sure? Because only fifty percent of good games coming from Ubisoft from the 2000s until, I guess, 2011-ish

And speaking of 2011, at least it was the year that graced us with their E3 coverage with Mr. Caffeine, albeit for the wrong, absolutely cringe reasons

That's actually THE worst thing about Ubisoft. They're not BAD compared to everybody else, but the sum of their parts are unbearably intolerable. They're your average AAA developer in the worst way possible. Great concepts, good gameplay tainted by formulaic progression, oversaturated franchises, aggressive monetization and soulless storytelling.

They've mastered the copy/paste shortcut.

Where do you draw the line when considering companies? Because Game Mill and Microids (two prolific shovelware farms) clearly contribute less to gaming. And then there's groups like Konami, who's main crime seems to be not making games or, like, all of the mobile games industry, who's crime is making skinner-boxes.

I think Ubisoft's crime is that their offerings are interesting enough for us to care about their games but then the thick poop crust they splurt onto them turns us away.

The ideas are there. Minus the microtransactions and shitty corporate bullshit. I give them credit for finally going back to basics with Mirage for example.
 
So it kinda slipped under the radar amidst all The Crew furore, but Ubi have announced the release date (30th August), and pre-orders for Star Wars Outlaws. In typical Ubishit fashion there's a bunch of tiers, where you'll need to shell out way more than the base cost if you want all the stuff. In this case it's £60 for just the base game, £95 for the Gold version, and a ridiculous £115 for the Ultimate edition.
Not mentioned on the pre-order page, but covered elsewhere is apparently there is an exclusive mission called Jabba's Gambit that's locked behind the more expensive versions because of course it is. I've seen some nigger cattle journos defending this on the grounds that other recent Ubishit titles have done the same thing, and they, eventually, release the mission to the plebs, which just further reinforces why I hate journos and their corporate dicksucking.

On release DLC is one of the more insulting things devs can do. At least when it was armor/weapons you could justify as it not really removing content.
