agreed, i think games have become so big in scope and budget that publisher feel that their greediness is justified, what they seem to ignore is that you can make an AWESOME game without spending millions and millions of dollars, just take From Software as an example. i love Demons Souls and its a B game in terms of Budget and honestly even though the upcoming Bloodborne looks awesome in all fronts i wouldnt be surprised if it was a game with a "moderate" budget in other words maybe a "A" game but never a "AAA" game.

From Software is probably not the best example with its shitty PC ports^^

yeah i heard that Demons Souls port was a really bad one XD.

in all honesty i dont know if its a joke (since DeS and Bloodborne are exclusives), or if those Dark Souls PC ports were really bad (since i dont game on PC i dont know).

Looks like companies have to screw over the superior PS4 and XB1 fans to get the media talking.

PC and WiiU fans obviously doesn't matter...

Wii U and PC just aren't relevant to the mainstream "gaming" media, even with the Wii this happened to a degree.


Well we are sorry for being so irrelevant...

Its between the media and Nintendo,

as for PC, there is no centralizied buisness interest for gaming on it.

The Dark Souls PC port was notably shit. I tried it and it was awful. DS2 Port seems to be a bit better but not by a margin.

That's why it's weird mentioning it in an Ubi thread. Because shitty PC ports is their thing^^

Nothing against From Software but this needs a better example.

It's going to be interesting to see how Ubi will handle the disaster.


Bugs make the game look more cinematic.

oh thats quite sad, im watching a lets play of DS2 on PC and it looked alright so i got the impression that their PC ports might be "good", and in terms of other examples... i cant think of anything right now, but im sure theres gotta be a Great A or B game out there with an actual decent PC port.

also on a sidenote as i said im not a PC gamer but ive heard that a lot of japanese games tend to have "Shitty" ports to PC, which is kind of curious to me. (oh and no, im not excusing from soft by saying that, i just find it kind of interesting).

at last, the inevitable is happening!!



They have been chasing this for a while now, they deserve one of those shitty prizes.

honestly, my problem now are with the people that actually went out to buy this game. Gamers really need to learn that as long as they are willing to pay for something, they are indirectly telling publishers that they are ok with whatever they did.

I mean if just once, gamers could come together on hold out on buying a game for the first two weeks just to make a point, everyone would be surprised how this industry would change.

I wouldn't worry too much about that.

After all, many of those day 1 buyers won't (probably) make the same mistake twice, so the 2015 AC title will (again, probably) have less sales than expected even if it's a good game.

By doing this things Ubisoft is simply killing it's franchises, and they don't have that many left: Rayman doesn't sell enough, Watch Dogs sold good, but will many of its buyers return?, Far Cry depends on its 4th installment and AC... let's just say that it will have troubles next year. What's left for them? And no, Beyond Good & Evil doesn't count. The first game didn't sold enough, why would a sequel do?
