The Jimification of reviews and game commentary: The age of contrarianism.



Around the Network

Huh, I watched this one just before finding this thread.
I agree with him to the degree I can agree. After playing the Ezio games of AC, I already felt overdose with their... formula. It appears as though there is something in their games, but there certainly is nothing for me there.

...one of the reasons I am surprised anyone cares about Far Cry 5 or anything Ubisoft really.

Maybe in around 2014 this would hold some weight, but not now. Watchdogs 2, Assassins creed Origins, and far cry 5 are vastly different.

Assassins creed Origins is the same as South Park which is the same marioXrabbids, which is the same as for honour which is the same thing as Rayman, which is the same thing as trackmania, which is the same thing as far cry?

The claim that all their games are cookie cutter open worlds is pure bullshit.

Even their newer open world are vastly different from each other. ACO and Watchdogs 2 are absolutely nothing alike.

And also, does this guy ever make a positive video about anything? It looks like he likes to bitch at everything for the sake of that.

Totally agree. Sterling is late to the game and just trying to be controversial...as usual. Such a tool.

Yep no question take him more seriously than me, you and probably this entire forum.

But still don't understand how people can take him seriously. But well, people take the kardashians seriously so this should not surprise me.

Its an almost guaranteed win nowadays. Just select a topic, make a video compaining about it, create a stupid tumbnail with weird faces and if possible add a clickbait title. 



Ubisoft is probably the best of the big 3 third party studios by a mile the past 2 years.

Basically it says Ubisoft only really make open world games now - I'm fine with that as I enjoy that sort of game. As you say FC5 and ACO are a shooter and and action-adventure game, plus the worlds are interesting to traverse.

You're last point, I get where you're coming from but it's more a selling point - negative videos tend to get more views. Take zero punctuation, he's openly observed that people don't like the rare videos he makes where his comments are positive.



The problem is Jim, Ubisoft games are awesome. One of my most played devs this gen. I'm glad the majority of the gaming public don't think like Jim and continue to support fun games.
