For the most part I like their games. I enjoyed the great majority I played from them, so I'll continue to purchase their products.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS


This company is perhaps the most hypocritical one in the marketplace. Have we forgotten that they sicked lawyers on a cartoonist to try to silence criticism, about how they were marketing a game. Which I might add was a nonstop romp of character assassination itself. I mean they hide behind the freedom of speech, and then attack someone else for doing the same. I am sorry, but that is about the most loathsome thing that a game developer has done this generation bar none. It does tell you something about their morality, and their mentality.



Good games. Watch_Dogs is probably my most anticipated upcoming title. AC was a cool new fresh concept. My one gripe is that such games seem to be more like interactive movies rather than true games, with a lot of the character movement done for you... i.e., the assassin jumps and flips and blanaces and dodges and all the player is doing is pushing up on the joystick. But Ubi makes lots of good quality games and even tries some new things on new systems, like Zombi U.



They are one of the best 3rd party publishers out there. Assassin's Creed, Far Cry , Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell are some of my favourite franchises. They continue to make good games which add on to the previous game quite well and listen to their customers too. I just don't like that tended to follow EA with the online pass, that wasn't necessary. Even Just Dance isn't too bad but they are milking it a bit now. Overall, one of my favourite publishers. I look forward to Splinter Cell Blacklist, Assassin's Creed IV and Watch Dogs



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

And man when they Hit, they hit it out of the park!

And man when they Miss, they crash and burn!

Sounds like the old Sega



     
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.

They swing between good and bad.

The UPlay DRM fiasco wasn't great.

But as I look past that kind of stuff with EA, I can certainly look past it for Ubisoft.

They go extremely strong at new console launches, still, and I have nothing but respect for them for doing that. 

They run a number of good franchises and I like them for that.

Unfortunately, none of their franchises would rank among my particular favourites.   They don't run the spectrum of variety that I feel other third-parties do; so inevitably even though I quite like them, I don't buy many of their games.



ubisoft has change qutie they are focusing on getting the PC crowd back by having the best versions of there games on PC and of course no more DRM but they still do things i am very much against like online passes and of course the whole last minute delay of rayman legends but in the end legends will probably turn out to be a better game cause of the added levels and bosses



Ubisoft doesn't exist, so I dunno.
