Forums - Gaming Discussion - Dear Ubisoft, **** You

Personally, I like Ubi despite their faults. While their games usually have issues, every so often they create a game that pushes the envelope in one way or another. In the first Splinter Cell, it was their excellent third person control system that put other stealth games like MGS to shame. The controls were fluid, easy to use, and made sense within minutes.

In Assassin's Creed, they did it again. While the game is far from perfect (repetitive, glitchy), the controls and world immersion is unrivaled in any other game I have seen. Frankly, I'm really enjoying the game though it hasn't received much playing time since Rock Band and Mass Effect hit. I'm looking forward to going further in the game and exploring new areas. Overall, it's far from being a bad game and touches greatness at points, only to later get in its own way through repetitive missions and clipping issues.

They also make several other series that I enjoy, namely the PoP, R6, and GRAW series. I would like to see a new Rayman platformer some day, too. Overall, I prefer the company over several other Japanese companies I used to adore, namely Konami and Square-Enix. Ubi, while not at the level of Capcom in my eyes, can hardly be compared to EA, the whore of repetitive games, lack of game support, and flogging franchises for all they are worth.

I pretty much agree with everything Rocketpig just said.

Anyone who plays Assassin's Creed expecting it to be an 85 game (which it is) and not a 90+ game will enjoy the experience.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

IMO the only truly great game Ubisoft has made in the last decade is Beyond Good & Evil which was tragically underrated.

Rainbow Six: Vegas, Splinter Cell, and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time all say hello.

 While i really don't like splinter cell at all, Rainbow 6 and Prince of Persia are some of the games that proves Ubisoft a good game developer. The reason why i don't like Ubisoft however, is because they aren't putting out some of their top teams on Wii. Instead they put out their lesser teams and their lesser games and expect them to sell as good as Nintendo games (who have their top teams out there). I say **** You to Ubisoft because they are only a curse to the Wii thus far, and show no signs of a change in heart. I don't want them to abandon the other consoles, i want them to really try with the Wii, and the same goes to so many other developers.

Didint they say that the ps3 cant handle AI?

Then a sony guy said that the ps3 can more than handle AI when he gave heavenly sword as an example.

AC is a good game with some glitches, Red Steel is a crappy game with glitches, not even comparable.

Games like Mass Effect, Bioshock and Assassin's Creed you can forgive minor glitches, they don't automatically make the game bad...



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Exactly. There is a difference between a buggy game that doesn't redeem itself in other aspects vs. a buggy game that offers great gameplay or story in other parts.

I dont know were people got that AC had a huge twist in the end. There was no twist at all.

I mentioned above that they have made a couple other great games, but I was never really impressed with Splinter Cell like everyone else seems to be.   Well, that's not true.  Like Assassin's Creed I thought it was a good game with flaws.  They make a lot of those though, so that's nothing special.  I haven't ever had enough time with Rainbow Six: Vegas to judge it, but I have a hard time even giving Rainbow Six games a chance though after how boring, repetitive, and downright awful they were last generation.

or brazilians being sex crazed, drugged out pervs. or that they will kidnap you for ransom yeah we don't want to judge a book by the discovery channel or the simpson hilarious episode where they go to brazil... classic

 Sadly the kidnap and sex crazed part are very close to the truth. Even so that would be as usefull as jugding the US by reading Michael Moore book or watching Friends.
