Tencent delays AssCreed Jade in favor of a Fall Guys clone:

Given Skull and Bones' release, I can't really blame them. AssCreed Jade has been memed over WE WUZ SAMURAIZ, until people got bored of even that.

If Ubi can finally cancel that AssCreed title for good, but one can only hope :sigh:
 

I've said that Ubisoft games suffer from familiarity in its open world formula at the expense of some interesting premises and world building.

There's nothing distinct from recent Ubisoft games that makes me go: "hey, remember when Assassin's Creed did this?" I play a Ubisoft game, I get overwhelmed with the literal and mechanical filler that plagues their structurally functional titles.

That said, I don't play Ubisoft titles enough TO suffer from fatigue so Far Cry 5, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, R6: Siege or Watch Dogs 2 are unique experiences for me given their settings and premises. It doesn't help that the rest of the gaming industry isn't any better either.

At least you CAN pick up a couple Ubisoft games on sale and enjoy yourself in autopilot.

meanwhile breakpoint put in challenges that actually requires you to play the game.
latest fun one I spend more than an hour on: "kill enemies with a mine, a grenade and c4 in 10 seconds". and yes in that order. enjoy!

Division has its issues, but that engine runs really well for how good it looks. Not to mention, wonderful world in the first one. That christmas time adds an oddly spooky tone to the game at times in darkened buildings, fighting by christmas tree lights and the odd flames from fires. Second game was kinda generic America, although it did look good for what it is.

Its a shame they just will not stop making shitty games, as their tech side seems to be pretty fucking great.

Issue is that it's like saying you can eat a big mac and it will fill you up. It's technically correct, but you can spend your time and money on a product that is better, and Ubisoft eventually got fucked when normie gamers decided to do exactly that. The ubisoft open world is just a checklist of shit to do that gives the illusion of progress and reward. It doesn't help that it's recycled every product.

Like Ghost of Tsushima had something akin to Ubisoft game design but how you play the game by the end is massively different than how you start and it gives you options of what you can do. While Ubi titles you simply have bigger numbers and useless gadgets.
 
Ubisoft is dead to me, but I still want them to release XDefiant just to piss all over the corpse of Call of Duty. Sadly, it seems they're so incompetent that we might not even get that, and even if the game is released and everybody is happy with it I give it half a year tops before Ubisoft destroys it with their typical shenanigans.

Ubisoft has "mystery big game" that will release until April:

They are considering Just Dance DLC pack as a game, what a bunch of jokers, also no mention of The Division Heartland and the other AssCreed games.

End of fiscal year, Xdefiant , The Division Resurgence, Rainbow Six Mobile and "mystery big game" all missed the deadline.
I now argue that "mystery big game" was actually AssCreed Jade, but since they were relying on Tencent for that one, they said nothing about it.
Final score 6/10, and since one of these "games" was a DLC (Just Dance), 5.5/10, peak mediocrity like Ubisoft themselves.
As a bonus, here is an article trashing Xdefiant development cycle:

Eventually one of the big devs will hard crash and that will hopefully kill every big dev in a chain reaction. Will the new haming companies learn their lesson from it? Probably not, but it will be satisfying.
 
I know that Skull and Bones is old news by now, but holy shit what a disaster it really is. I just watched the Angry Joe video and it's worse than I thought, not only is the game full of predatory microtransactions and absolutely filled to the brim with poz and sterile, safe writing that appeals to nobody, they couldn't even get playing as a PIRATE right. This is a setting basically tailor made for gaming, and they FUCK IT UP, that's AFTER they made one of the better pirate games out there with AC4. All the cut content is pretty telling, they promised many features that would actually make it a good game, but they're either not there at launch or barely there, to the point you wonder why they even bothered. This is a good example of a game that could have been good, but every single aspect of it was cut up and re-arranged to make it as engaging with the live service machine as possible, even if the parts don't match. No wonder it took so long for this piece of shit to come out.

I do think this is truly the first "AAAA" game ever made, as in the first post-video game game that has genuinely no fun, heart or soul in it and only exists to shill micro transactions. While hardly the first of it's kind, I think this might be one of the worst examples of this new tier of games, worthy of the AAAA moniker.
I'm scared for the future of XDefiant, it is the first game that I gave any sort of shit about coming from Ubisoft in years and I'm starting to think it might get slaughtered in the crib before it even comes out, if the above article has any truth to it. Game would have been a lot of fun, but the only problem is that Ubisoft is involved and paying the bills. Let's not forget that The Crew is also dying soon, or already dead as of writing this. It is hard to put into words how much I hate this company, possibly more than Activision, Blizzard, EA or others.
 
I can see why Grummz is trending on social media today. It involves Ubisoft and a DEI Community Manager.

whatever I feel like said:
Ahh yes, INFJ, so then right to the ovens with her.

Who the hell is this Grummz guy anyway, he's come out of nowhere to smear his presence all over this DEIgate stuff.

He is a old school dev from Blizzard that worked on the original World of Warcraft release. Had a failed game under his belt (Firefall) due to not being the best project manager. Wants gaming to be better and recently with the kick off of GG 2.0 start to notice how bad it was with all the Community Managers and got some insight with current devs suffering from Sweet Baby crap.

Reposting all the Community Managers shit is actually pretty great since they are control communications between the Devs and community. Fire the whole lot of them.

The thing with Ubisoft is that their old formula was actually very solid and entertaining. The stealth action exploration vibe old AC had was stellar, but you play Odyssey or Valhalla and you are shoehorned into dealing with pointless RPG mechanics that, ironically, take options away rather than expands them.

I love clearing camps in Far Cry 3, Ghost of Tsushima, Rise of the Ronin, because you can do it differently every time. But in modern Ubislop titles? The games are so braindead and number driven that combat is a genuine chore.

Yup. Its that old "You're under leveled so enjoy doing 30% of your usual damage because fuck you, that's why" "balance" that everyone despises and CDPR wound up removing from CP2077.
 
There was apparently a leak for AC Red that showed the character select menu, confirming that you will be playing as Yasuke as the male protagonist.

Not even feudal Japan could prevent Ubisoft from nog worship.
