And just look how long it took, and how many tries, to get a decent sequel to XCOM and Jagged Alliance 2.
It's not just themselves btw. Two of the biggest and most infamous of the woke/DEI consulting firms (Sweet Baby Inc and Hit Detection) were both founded by ex Ubisoft employees.Ubiloompa Song - A Tribute to Ubisoft destroying itself
French Canadians and the French are a blight upon society.
The USA and the UK should have just gone half-and-half on France after WW2. Hell, no reason we can't do it and let the English rebuild the Angevin Empire.
That's what it was originally supposed to be and the first game was somewhat GTA like. The second game and Legion turned into shitty ANTIFA simulators with very cringe plots.
its going whatever hole they put sleeping dogs into.
The second game is still pretty playable as long as you completely ignore/skip all cutscenes. The characters are so awful in it I actually got excited when Aiden Pierce makes a cameo in one mission, and he's possibly the most boring protagonist to ever exist.
That's ironically what winds up making the DLC good. Playing as either Aiden or Wrench without the shitty limitations and clearer narrative makes for a better experience, which makes me wonder who even made it. Someone thought the accurate antifa experience (lots of larping with aimless goals that lead to nothing/no ending) was clearly shit.
unironically, it's probably the metro-french inferiority complex with english speakers. they gota be either the extreme counter or constantly one-up their perception of the anglos.
not to sound like an asshole but there's very little reason for a "sequel" to those games. the mechanics are solid and the moding sphere can make new scenarios or whatnot.
Outside of a few examples i can't really think of many beloved games where games had a dev team of over 500, meaning thats probably the maximum amount of people you can have involved without it becoming inevitably shitty. like New Vegas had under 500 people in the credits (once you take out doubles (fun fact Sawyer is listed 11 times in the credits, and the fact that every song in the game is credited, i doubt Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin put any hours in at Bethesda. plus voice acting isn't really part of the "dev" team in my eyes, literally just reading some other guy's script)
I posted this in the veilguard thread, but it applies to ACS also
And that was immediately followed up like fucking clockwork with Veilguard getting nominated for awards to try and continue to "own the chuds" prompting more discussion. The same is going to happen with ACS. Except for morons on the left doing something stupid, everything to be discussed about ACS has already been discussed at this point other than getting some real sales figures or other comments during a quarterly call because they're a publicly traded company.
I'm still not even confident Shadows has been a failure. It's almost certainly underperformed given what Ubisoft needed in its current financial state, but from everything I've seen aside from Yasuke --which I imagine most people don't care about, at least not enough to stop them playing the game-- Shadows is just another Ubislop title and if that's what you like then you'll enjoy Shadows just as much as their other generic output.
Sure but ignoring the woke bullshit, the game is still crap. Same goes with veilguard. There are plenty of people mocking the dialogue, the combat, the progression system, microtransactions, voice acting, etc. without needing to even point at the woke 800 pound gorilla in the room. Even for both of these games, there's been comments like "well what if we just mod Yasuke to be japanese/white/whatever, or delete Traash from the game" ok but is that going to fix any of the other issues holding the games back even if you could do that? Fuck no. Ubisoft has found themselves in the position that they're in because the games at their core are fucking garbage and the audience isn't just buying it up the way they used to, woke or not. We're talking about a publisher that has gotten so bad in recent years they probably couldn't have one of their dev teams re-make Asteroids without fucking it up somehow.
There still is no decent sequel to Jagged Alliance 2. They were pumping those out for a while but they all sucked in various ways, arguably 3 is serviceable but still inferior to 2 in almost every way.
Every Dragon Age game except the first one is a really bad Dragon Age game and game in general. Frankly not even sure what people were expecting, I got the message with the Awesome Button bullshit they were spewing for the rushed and shitty second game.
