Ubisoft Sellout - Bankruptcy Speedrun Any% Thread

[Oliver Onions]

For sure, it ran like shit and didn't sell crazily well, but still a couple orders of magnitude better than fucking star wars outlaws.

Yeah that's what I meant, the game was a technical mess even after patches and it still performed well enough so Outlaws has no excuse for flopping except being a shit game nobody wanted.

Both games also had a problem with woke shit --if you thought the girlboss stuff was bad in Fallen Order it's much worse in Survivor-- so they can't even hide behind people hating...whatever the woman in Outlaws was called.

do we have any cold, scientific data or is it just all guesswork? ((((((((((

From a March 2025 article I found:

Far Cry 7, known under the codename ‘Blackbird’ within Ubisoft, could be launching in 2026, according to a leak reported by Insider Gaming.

The news comes as details emerged that both this project, and a standalone extraction shooter set in the Far Cry world, are being looked at carefully within Ubisoft.

The extraction shooter, codenamed ‘Maverick’ was once the multiplayer component of Far Cry 7, is being completely rebooted, and part of the team has been shifted over to Far Cry 7 instead.

It’s unclear why this decision has been made, however, Ubisoft is finding itself under financial stresses, so streamlining future projects would make some sense.

According to the Insider leak, Far Cry 7 is currently in the playtesting phase, and developers are confident the game could be released next year.

Ubisoft are yet to comment on the upcoming game, but details point to it being set in Alaska - a stark departure from recent releases - and featuring a fight for survival against harsh weather, wild animals, soldiers, and other players.

Sounds like they're considering the Call of Duty approach of making a separate multiplayer game but it's going to be an extraction shooter instead of battle royale, which seems to be the current industry obsession.

Splitting it away from the campaign is probably smart, especially if they make it F2P, since I don't think anyone is chomping at the bit after Far Cry 6 was a complete non-starter.

Far Cry 6 was a complete non-starter.

Wha? You mean their stunt casting (that Gus whoever guy) didn't pull the massive numbers they were convinced they'd get by putting the Breaking Bad Big Bad front-and-center on the cover art?

Why I never

Gus from Breaking Bad, tranny DJs, disabled sausage dog companion with lol random name, cringe live-action videos showcasing the crazy special weapons you can use (literally just a rocket launcher)...There was so much innovation in Far Cry 6 it just doesn't make sense why it failed.

Maybe Yves is right and Gamer standards are simply too high now.

to be fair that's just early pre-production, you tell a few people to brainstorm and write some stuff, it's not like that's costing millions or a guarantee to go anywhere.

it's like "we're making a movie!" where you maybe hire someone to write a screenplay. until actual filming starts none of it really matters.

Progressives have a weird blind spot when it comes to China, same as how Disney never get dragged for removing any sign of black people from their Chinese marketing and editing out gay shit or ghoulie ghosts.

It's not a weird blind spot, it's a deliberate decision to not put what they see as a financial gravy train at risk due to woke retardation, IMO.

Yeah I was being sarcastic, but I don't think it's about the gravy train --obviously that's why Disney bends the knee though-- for the blue-haired bloggers who constantly whine about the ethics and environmental impact of stuff like AI but are happy to use Apple products and other shit made using slave labour in third-world shitholes.

My point is it's all virtue-signalling horseshit by people who decide what causes to support based on trending hashtags and whatever avatar overlay their friends are using this week. A perfect current example of this is how Ukraine was dropped like depleted uranium the second things started getting spicy over in Palestine.

That's because modern internet(really the past 20 years or more at this point) slacktivism relies on choosing something to bitch about that has no actual impact on their lives because they wouldn't dare go without anything or actually do anything that might disrupt their comfortable middle class first world lifestyle. Of that crowd maybe 1% will actually go out and protest during fair weather and wave around signs for an afternoon. Of that crowd another 1% will have actually convinced themselves(or get suckered into it by someone else) to do something "drastic" like throw shit at cops chain themselves up at a slaughterhouse and so on, and then another tiny percentage who doesn't really fall into the slacktivist category anymore(but definitely the gullible useful idiot category) will do some insane shit like fly to Egypt to try and ender Gaza, and then wonder why they're being detained by the Egyptian authorities, getting stopped by Israeli boats, throwing orange paint at shit in museums, etc.

except for that last smallest sub-category, these people will NOT disrupt their own lifestyle for the sake of whatever cause they want to proclaim they believe in, and a large portion(couldn't say if it's a majority, but it's a significant amount for sure) of the men who participate in this crap are predators just hoping to get some pussy so they'll go along with it.

Wrong game but I understand the fatigue.

What's really kinda shitty about Ubisoft these days is that they do have some games that I would like to give another shot; the first Watch Dogs was a great John Wick simulator, and Black Flag is still probably one of the best pirate games ever made. It's just... I don't want to support the company any more; even their more fun games have all got a shit reputation now because of Ubi's greed, and it's a wee bit depressing.

 

[DeadwastePrime]

greed was a tool ubisoft used that worked at first, but over time said greed has backfired on them greatly and will be the inevitable cost of their downfall

Very rarely do I drop a game for being woke, I don’t really mind if a piece of media challenges my beliefs but most of the times it has happened lately have been Ubisoft games, they always dyke up their games to the maximum to a point where it’s noticeable and obnoxious, it’s even worse because you know Ubisoft execs are the biggest hypocrites especially with all the scandals recently, “rules for thee but not for me”

Ubisoft are like a real-life version of those drug PSAs where a kid takes one drag on a joint then a week later he's homeless, shooting up heroin into the veins between his toes.

"It's just one little microtransaction, what could it possibly hurt..."

 

[regalterry]

But none of the woke shit is gonna do that, they all parrot the same talking points.

Just looking the race and gender of the cast in a woke movie will let you know how the plot is going to pan out down to the last detail - who the heroes are, who the villains are, who is going to betray the protagonist, who is going to be the best fighter, who is going to be the comedy relief etc.

The White, straight man is always going to be one of three things - a bumbling imbecile, a coward/narcissistic or the villain (who is oftentimes all three of these things at once).

Thus every leftist product is always the same thing, regurgitating the same message and hammering the audience with it.

If you've played one woke game, you've played them all, and I for one can do without Leftist religious orthodoxy in my life.

In terms of the shit writing you would be correct but I wouldn’t say that it’s all recent games having the same level of retardation, some developers can control their autism better than others if that makes any sense, while I do understand the just play old games argument to some extent there is a certain boredom I think one may experience as everyone enjoys different genres and when you look at say RPGs for example some old RPGs can be clunky,confusing or downright bad in terms of gameplay, that being said there’s Definitely blatant ragebait I can’t look past, shit like Dustborn wouldn’t make it into my steam library and in terms of Ubisoft pretty much anything they have produced in the past 5 years falls into that category

You know, Watch Dogs Legion takes place in UK and what's going on in the game is currently very topical to what's going on in reality. You think we're going to get a plucky civilian hacker militia taking on "Da Man"(out of control mercs since we are too spineless to make even someone as evil as British Government out to be the baddies) like in the game, or is it going to age poorly?

 

[regalterry]

if that makes any sense

It makes a lot of sense, actually.

Most cRPG were made by shitlibs (barring Arcanum, the apex of the genre), and it usually shows in lots of ways, but many cRPGs were also made before the left suffered what can only be described as a collective manic episode that turned them all rabid.

Baldur's Gate 2 was made by a studio that was no less liberal that the team that made Baldur's Gate 3, and yet the former is far more palatable to a much wider audience, spanning differences in ideology, politics, religion, citizenship and gender. BG2 was primarily trying to be a fun game, while many aspects of BG3 were designed with the express purpose of infuriating and antagonizing parts of the target audience the writers didn't like.

I think the one unifying aspect of everything woke is spite. None of their games, movies, books et al are made to entertain the audience, they're instead made to "own the chuds", and people can always tell.

I thought the game sucked and couldn’t even finish it but I’ve played enough of it and it is definitely topical is terms of British totalitarianism, but yeah the fact that they just made some retarded security firm the villains just proves that to some extent they were afraid of potentially getting the attention of Parliament, there was one line about how the company was beating the shit outta immigrants or whatever in one the missions if my memory serves me correctly, even for Ubisoft that was pretty jarring just outright saying that they support mass immigration with no checks

 

[Metamorpho]

lol

There're also shills in the comment sections and I think the DisneyMarvel retard might be either be a bot or is just very autistic. He keeps saying the same shit over and over again, plus he created his account a little less than 2 months ago.
