Well, you do realize that by only buying Nintendo's games, you're pretty much proving the point that Nintendo gamers don't buy 3rd party games, therefore why should 3rd parties devote money and resources to developing for Nintendo consoles? And if I were weighing the options of whether or not my company should release a big game on a console that is not only selling poorly at the moment but whose audience will largely ignore my game anyway no matter how much time and effort I put into it, then you're darn right I'm going to want some financial guarantees for me to make it happen. Companies like Ubisoft aren't running charities. |
If the game is cancelled, then there is no way for us to buy third-party. So theres the point. If the game is missing content compared to other platforms we also own why should we buy the version with less content?
And see my point. I already decided, that Watchdogs is the last chance for Ubisoft to prove they can deliver quality enough to justify first day purchases. See about my experiences of Ubisoft games on WiiU so far.
ZombiU: Good game, but not great. Works as a launch title. But has some repetitive environments. And bugs. Even game-breaking bugs (I could avoid it, but I read it at Miiverse). I had glitches that had me made to kill my survivor, to get on with the game.
Splinter Cell Blacklist: Has great mechanics for a stealth-shooter. But a level-design more made for action. Mostly linear, without much choices. Compare it with Deus Ex for that. And Ubisoft designed a main menu (the airplane) that needs minutes to load. That is ridiculous, you have to wait upon starting the game and every time you finish a mission, only to equip yourself and choose the next mission. What was Ubisoft thinking`
Rayman Legends. Let's not talk about the delay. The game was great and the quality high, the onyl worthy title.
Rabbids Land: Missing the craziness of earlier titles, it was a big letdown. Not worth your money.
These previous titles I got all first day or early on at full prce at retail. The following two I got on sale cheap as digital download.
Assassins Creed III: I bought it a year after release as a try how AC as a series works. I got with my purchase big patches.And still the game manages to have frustrating bugs, like missing the commander in a fortress, so although IU killed everyone I cannot win the castle. Or blocking yourself in a spot without being able to come. How can this game have so ridiculous bugs?
Yourshape Fitness Evolved: Good fitness titles - and it freezes from time to time the console completely. Come on Ubisoft.
So basically Ubisoft ripped me off with mediocre quality. Especially bad are that most of the titles are buggy as hell. Nintendo still gives me the trust, that I can buy a title and expect basic quality, no frustrating stuff like these ridiculous loading times in Splinter Cell and no (or few) bugs. Watchdogs is the last title I will buy from Ubisoft expensive - if it is released on WiiU. Otherwise I might stop caring at all about Ubisoft. Such bugfests are for sure no reason for me to buy another system.
So can you explain why you address your blame to Nintendo-fans instead of Ubisoft? They want my money, but they don't try hard enough and I really gave them a chance.
