So, are any of Ubisoft's games really worth playing these days? Because after some of Ubi's recent shit - "gamers need to get used to not owning games", the political pandering, overall poor quality, etc. - I can't really thing of any of Ubi's games that are worth a purchase. I mean, I already played a bunch of their older stuff like Watch Dogs and some of the better Assassin's Creed titles; anything you guys would suggest?

Is there a way to play Ubi games without their invasive malware? Only reason I don't play ubi games anymore, I don't want to deal with it cause it takes ages to connect only to then say it can't connect to servers.

then why are you bothering? just use the ubisoft launcher already. if you buy one from steam you can just link it to the thing once then deal with it from there

I got the Division 2 for like $5 during a holiday Ubisoft sale years ago and had a blast with it. Even as mostly single player.

As much as I shit on The Division 2, I have recommended people pick it up when it's on sale, just to play through the campaigns. Most of the flaws are only really apparent when you try to get into the endgame.

Also speaking of shitting on The Division 2, those guys are having a rough week. First they released the new PTS to near universal disdain, despite the fact it included a Rifle based gearset that people have been begging for for literally years at this point. Turns out the designers are shit, and the new gearset is somehow significantly worse than a standard DPS build, something that's long been considered to be underpowered in it's own right.

Then they released the final manhunt, and it didn't go great. Reaction has been kinda like marmite, either love it or hate it, no real in-between. However there was an issue where people were missing certain collectibles after finishing it.
Normally you get them simply re-running the final mission a second time, but it wasn't working and instead people were reporting they had to re-run the entire manhunt instead. No-one was sure if that was an intentional (if utterly retarded) design decision, or just typical current Division being a buggy piece of shit.
Turns out, as per usual, the Division devs are fucking up as only they can and it's somehow both. Apparently the backpack trophy not being awarded is a bug, but they seemingly really did intend you to run the entire thing again (which takes at least an hour or two even on the lowest difficulty), just to get one final collectible, which is just another note. Truly some great game design there.

bridge crew if you got VR. fenyx is apparently good for a BOTW clone. the new avatar game apparently isn't that bad either (gameplay-wise, remember the writing was a bit on the questionable side). as shit as ubislop is, there isn't really an alternative with that scope and production values.

not really worth messing with their launcher tho, especially when you have to fear they'll just remove the account after a while...

I had that discussion before, the problem is it might look fine now for 5 bucks, but it ignores all the shit that lead to it. outright lying to their playerbase, making them pay for a proper bugfix patch, that's shit where you stop giving them money out of principle.

I agree, GR Wildlands and Far Cry 5 are worth having.

Yeah, Wildlands is great, especially when you get some buddies.

Ubisoft has canceled its upcoming free-to-play shooter, Tom Clancy's The Division Heartland, amid larger plans to focus resources on "bigger opportunities."


This news was revealed as a part of Ubisoft's earnings release this morning, with the company saying it has "redeployed resources to bigger opportunities such as XDefiant and Rainbow Six." The move is part of a larger, longer process Ubisoft has been undergoing in recent quarters to restructure its teams, cut costs, and concentrate its resources into fewer, bigger games.

The Division Heartland was first announced back in 2021, and was being developed by North Carolina-based Red Storm Entertainment. It was quietly delayed not long after its reveal with its planned release moving to last fiscal year, but it never materialized. Heartland did go through multiple testing phases, and was in a publicly playable state. Recently, it received a rating in Taiwan, leading fans to believe its release was imminent, but this seems to have been a false alarm.

Ubisoft has been on a game-cancelling spree of late, having shut down three unannounced games including its mysterious Project Q, as well as Immortals Fenyx Rising 2 just last year. The prior year, Ubisoft cancelled four other unannounced games, with the company explaining its decision by saying it had been trying to make too many games at once.

For the full years, Ubisoft reported €2.3 billion ($2.5 billion) in net bookings, and €401 million ($436 million) in operating income.

Womp Womp.

On one hand I'm not entirely surprised given it's clearly been a development shitshow for a while. On the other I figured it was far enough along they'd have shat it out just to try and recoup some of what they've blown on it.

They're banking on XDefiant to do the heavy lifting. They cannot even support The Division 2 without some underlying side effect from their "patches."

I'm glad they cancelled it, it would have been dead on arrival since The Division audience aren't Tarkov players and Tarkov players won't play other extraction shooters.
That said, I'm sure they will recycle that crap in the next The Division game.
 
The Division Heartland has been cancelled, despite being in a playable state with public betas and a leaked rating in Taiwan. The reason? XDefiant (which has major quality issues and has been delayed over a year due to having bugs that preclude it from passing cert on at least one of the two consoles) and AC are better bets...

So I'm genuinely confused. I think both will/would have been shit, Heartland probably better. But they cancelled a nearly complete game with clearly way more resources put into it to save a game which seems to be Ubisoft just throwing all their assets into one thing with the most basic cookie cutter shooter gameplay possible and seeing what happens. What the fuck is going on at Ubisoft?
 
You may think I'm being too harsh for just a silly game, But I can't see anyone playing this asscreed game as anything but a subspecies.

Japan is a gaming powerhouse, releasing dozens of great games based on their own culture every year. But some subhuman will still prefer to play this gajin mega slop with a nigger protag. I Just cannot respect anyone who does that. For me, those people are bellow cockroaches.
