Well you will always find people who love or hate a game I mean the game also has a 75 on metacritic and a user rating between 5.5-6.3/10 the game clearly has(had) issues.

The game has a user rating of 5.5-6.3 on Metacritic. The platform where fans of guys like Asmongold or fanboys in a console war or whatever just review bomb a game because why not. Many of those who vote on Metacritic probably never played the games they review bomb. Why should anyone care about a Metacritic user score? I really care more about the scores of users on the platforms where people really played the games. 

The 75 from reviewers was also a reviewbomb? Or is this one of those made up 'reviewer taxes'

I never said the game is brilliant or anything. you said:

"Star wars Outlaws quality was bad you barely find any defenders of the game"

and I told you that people on Steam, Xbox, Epic Game store and so on mostly liked it. There is a difference between brilliant, people mostly liked it and your judgement of  "the game was bad you barely find any defenders of it"

I don't think Ubisoft is quite as bad off as some people think. Yes, they did lose like 85% of their stock value between 2018 and now, but the stock value was overinflated when it was at it's peak, their stock is currently worth more than it was from 2000-2006 and 2009-2013. Their financials for 2024 showed green (gains) over the previous year in most areas, revenue, operating income, net income, total assets, net equity, etc. They're not exactly in a great place right now, but I don't think their situation is quite so serious that they are on the verge of total collapse. 

Yes, there are changes they need to make to make themselves successful again. As sad as it is, layoffs likely need to happen as they are way too bloated with 18k+ employees, far more employees than publishers that output just as many games per year as them (or even more games than them in some cases). They should be looking to sell off dormant IP's (and maybe even some of their active IP's) as it was recently rumored they were looking at doing. They should make their open worlds smaller and take more time making their games (2 changes Guillemot claims they have already implemented in recent years). They need to innovate more and iterate less. 

The bolded says it all and the financials in retrospect says also enough:

For the nine months ending December 31, 2024

  • Revenue: €990 million (down 31.4% year-on-year)
  • Net bookings: €944 million (down 34.8%)
  • Digital net bookings: €784 million (down 33.8%)
  • Back-catalogue net bookings: €762.3 million (down 27.7%)

It is basically all on shadows now,  yeah the so called haters may complained about the game's state but lets not forget that Ubisoft must have agreed and choose to delay it.

Yeah but liking is not defending, Star wars outlaws has become one of those 'buy it on sale and then it is fine' I mean on steam it has between 66-73% from gamers... that basically say  'it is not bad for 20$'

It is hard to care when the game had so many events with rewards that are unobtainable now, it is like jumping in a MP game when seasons 6 started...You feel you missed something out...  I really was looking forward to this game..

But we have some good news:  Croc remaster is releasing the second of April.






It must be a very senior Microsoft investors birthday in April.

You can say that about pretty much every single multiplayer game around these days.

Personally, I don't give a damn, Lol. Even less so when it's cosmetics.
