Two thoughts.

1. Was there a coup d'etat in leadership at Ubisoft.

2. I have seveal PS1 children's games for my son published by ... Ubisoft. (Like Rayman and Pooh are hardcore characters).

I am Mario.


I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Why do you hail this guy as some kind of genius when he can barely write properly?

@mike: Rayman in fact is absolutely hardcore.

Pooh - havent played it.

a) You haven't really read any of the articles.

b) The content is a bit over your head.

Either one of these answers ought to address your post. ;)

 


I've just read his article and his grammar/choice of words are awful.

I don't care for his articles either but an ad hominem attack on his more than competent writing skills is not the way to begin that discussion.

" I go on fun weekend trip to come back to see a hundred new emails(!)"

" I think I got so many emails because two places (could be more) linked over here."

More than competent? I don't think so, these are pre-teen mistakes. Note that those two examples occur in the first two (short) paragraphs.

Which article - the one at the top of this thread? That's not really an article - that's one of his blog/news entries... ...something ALOT more casual than a full-blown article would be.

 


 I don't care how casual they may be, if the writer can't be bothered to attempt to write in anything resembling an intelligent manner I won't take him seriously.

Can the Wii ever ditch this stigma?



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Dare I go through your posting history and condemn every grammar/spelling mistake you've made? After which, slam you as not having written anything intelligent???

There is a HUGE difference between jotting random thoughts down (like we do here in this forum and as he does on that blog page) and setting about to write a full-fledged article. I'm surprised that somebody with your vast knowledge of what's intelligent and what isn't, wouldn't know the difference...

 

 


 I'd understand if the mistakes weren't as glaringly obvious as using 'I got' or 'I go'. These are not easy mistakes to make for anyone professing themselves as intelligent, which is why I refuse to read his 20,000 word page.

Where can I start off?
It seems this gen, the good western support is heading to the HD consoles while the good Japanese support will head to the Wii.
Whats wrong with the Wii's 3rd party support?
I'm not asking for more mature games on the wii, because I didnt buy one for it. I expected games to have good quality.

Now compare that to what the HD consoles have to offer from Ubisoft.
One HD console game such as assassins creed, would cost more than 2 times all of the above games combined.
Good Ubisoft, caring about their customers, right?
