Thanks for watching!
On this channel, I discuss topics like RPGs, CRPGs, JRPGs, FFXIV, Baldur's Gate 3, Diablo 4, Path of Exile, Elden Ring, MMOs, World of Warcraft, and gaming industry news.
I kept mixing up AC names when writing. You talk about the same games and they blend together.

Also we have a discord: discord.gg/e54hzqZRYG
AC Black Shadows should be the original title, I love it XD
as far as i know ac shadows isnt 130 dolars, its the gold package with 3 upcoming dlcs
Ubisoft did a lot more and good ones too than only far cry or Assassin's
The 1000 Communist party leaders, billionaires, the defrauders of Chinese people buy the American stock market, then flood the company with communist woke policies, then they sell the stock before the company collapses.
This is communist economic warfare. They take over the directory and destroy the companies to destroy the country.
And in the process that influences the elections by making everybody accept their work communist ideas, buy HR coercion and brainwashing videos of DEI.
Win win.
And there you are like an idiot voting their puppet because of misinformation from the oke media.
thank god im not the only one this happens to! lol
Ubisoft said we should get used to not owning games. Soon nobody's gonna own their games, not even themselves
...and we wont owning their games! i'm down with that ;-)
Tbf, its the trendy thing to do (I want to say Square was the first but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Kotick and Activizzard. And whoever runs TakeTwo has probably said but not loudly and pubicallly).
Of course the second half of that is that only a vocal minority of critics and even fewer gamers care. BLops whatever it is still immediately tossed everything else out of its way to have #1 sales for 2 weeks straight as a 2 month early preorder (you preorder to get early access to an upcoming beta week or something)
(Heck, even Ubisoft themselves is still hanging onto 3 out of the current top 30 spots on consoles which is still the main money market for AAA)
@@3thirtyDr3amz I think it was EA who mostly started the trend and Activision-Blizzard followed. If I remember correctly, the Spyro collection has a TOS and it says you don't own the game and they can revoke access whenever. It went downhill from there with the likes of Ubisoft and Take Two. Surprisingly Square Enix arrived late to that particular trend as it wasn't too into live services when the trend started, though since a lot of their games had expansions that were never added to a physical disc, you kind of only own half of their older games anyway.
Regardless I'm glad at least one of them is crumbling under its own weight. This dramatic downfall started with them deleting The Crew from existence.
Last game I bought by Ubisoft was Assassin's Creed 2. And that won't change. Ever. May the woke movement continue to fail. Ubisoft and many other large companies are too comfortable with insulting their consumers.
OG post didn't even age badly. I mean that's already happened. There's now tons of games that have been forced to remove ie. music from their titles.IIRC correctly GTA4 is now missing a complete radio channel. That's a lot of music. I recently played it and something felt bit off and read about it, but luckily it was station I highly disliked anyway. Plus think how old GTA4 is already. They've apparently made some interesting "leases" of music already back then. I would bet this is one of the reasons Rockstar essentially destroyed San Andreas copies from every possible platform and replaced it with their "best" new version that no one likes. I'm sure it has code changes in it that make disabling music easily if needed.
Turns out, if you keep disappointing your consumers...they stop consuming your products. What a wild concept, I bet no one could see this coming.
EA?
@@qwe5qwe566 I'm as confused as you are, they're even worse than Ubisoft and they're still standing.
they keep digging deeper and deeper and somehow they still stand, i guess milking FIFA, Apex Legends and the sims down to its last penny is the way to go it seems. hopefully this shitstain of an industry will be once gone. Remember when these companies stood as the pinacle of gaming? now we have quadruple A money laundering schemes and student projects for a game lmao not to mention the predatory monetisation absolutely everywhere. Seeing the AAA tag on anything reeks of shit and vomit cuz thats what it is these days.
@@ToadimusPrime Because casual gamers dont really care about any online controversy. They are not even aware of it. Look at the sales of FIFA. They just make the same game with generic changes and hundreds of micro transactions and yet these guys just lap it up. Until and unless some other company start making similar games with same genre like sports with less price, EA is unlikely to fall
@@idkbro12123 it needs proper competition. They can milk the sims because there has been no game like that for a long time. There were some that tried but it was at the time the sims (2) was at very strong position but now they are easy to outmatch. It can happen similar way cities skylines busted SimCity but unfortunately we got another DLC spammer instead.
I'll never forgive ubisoft for quietly killing splinter cell because "no one wants to play it" only to release games that actually no one wants to play like skull and bones
Would you rather them remake your beloved franchise into a steaming pile of “modernized” Ubisoft bullshit, or release nameless trash that you KNOW you don’t want to play? Personally, I’d be more pissed if they decided to go back only to fuck it up.
Splinter cell is a forgotten brand but i would kil for a good immersive single player pirate game... the thing is Skull and Bones is just garbage.
nobody wants to play splinter cell because they ruined that aswell. SC Conviction was actually decent and I enjoyed it but Blacklist was fucking horrendously bad.
@@newmoneymadeit SAM FISHER NEEDS TO COME BACK
The real reason is they couldn't think of a good way to stuff it with microtransactions.
I think Ubisoft final nail in their coffin was with The Crew, shutting down servers and telling us we don't own our games, potential Shadows and Outlaws buyers simply closed their wallets, goodbye Ubisoft, you won't be missed
I checked out from Ubi years ago, and Crew was the only thing keeping me attached to the company because my closest friends and I love playing it together.
The Crew was fun, the Crew 2 was fun.
But they could have 100% been a single player experience with multiplayer options instead of live service games.
@@Wylde_Starr yes it's interesting they kept the trashy games nobody plays anymore and they stole the game that people enjoy instead . The crew was just the start that's why he made that statement. Happy to see everyone clued into that bs
@@DecimatedRanger the animations in the crew are clunky
For me it was them saying NFTs were the future of gaming and gamers were too dumb not to realize it, yeah, nah, good look finding someone that's not Microsoft to buy you.
The fact they’re selling “time savers” in their games is just Ubisoft looking you dead in the eye and saying “yeah this game is boring lol”. Shouldn’t I want to spend time in your game???
I think that's when a game is just a money grabber at that point, they will sell endgame gear instead of simply making it an item you can discover in game, they make a massive open world with empty areas and filler after filler but hey it looks pretty also find me 40 rocks for 25xp. It's just not worth it, which is why I just don't bother with Ubisoft, even their older Assassin's Creed games had filler collectibles that I just ignored.
"“yeah this game is boring lol”"
Not really, it's saying that Ubisoft purposly made the game lengthy so people short on spare time aka people with jobs are forced to cough up more money to enjoy the complete game!
As I read your comment i had flashbacks to valhalla and suddenly it all made sense why I stopped playing after 20 hours
now that you said it, i think its true lol, why would we buy their time saver package if we are not lazy people that want to enjoy the game or they made the game intentionally boring so that they can sell more things to the players, Ubisoft are done.
@@Varangian_af_ScaniaeYou're wrong. You don't need time savers if the gameplay loop is fun, the environment is interesting and the time spent in the game is enjoyable. You simply enjoy the game longer.
Selling "time savers" is there for when the game is trash, but people are compelled to play it for braindead reasons like: your friends play it too, brand loyalty and the like.
It's a trap megacorps leverage against you.
See, making a good game costs a lot, real artists, game designers who can make a name for themselves demand higher wages and more time than unpaid interns.
If their game is intentionally crap and they abuse human nature to sell it and then offer a way out of the misery through time savers, they not only make a game at a lower cost, they make extra money as well, at the cost of deteriorating their brand slowly...
Ubisoft, Bethesda, EA and Blizzard are the worst.
Plus Activision
Add sony to this list too
Don't forget Konami
Add Bioware to the list.
All of them used to be great though. Now its corpo art by commity
The best part of the investor open letter was them calling out Ubisoft for "releasing multiple average games per year."
Could be a perfectly good model if they spent their money better. They think slightly improving the engine and marketing their games up the wazoo is gonna bring them the same results every time.
Not all their fault, I suppose. We see how gamers flip out when a game makes a sequel with the same engine. (when they aren't Bethesda)
@@insensitive919 Nintendo churns out practically the same game every year, the difference is it’s not cheeks.
@@insensitive919 The Yakuza games reuse assets and locations all the time, nobody cares because those games are fucken good. Ubisoft games are just mid at best
Monster hunter too, the fans actively hope we get returning monsters and are hyped to see new monsters using the same skeleton as others, but you see, mh games are never ass
@@rickfastly2671
Well Nintendo fanboys also have extremely low standards, heck the pokemon games for the switch look like some ps1 game lmao and still hardly runs. Masochists
The best thing Ubisoft can do now, in my eyes, is to leave Sam Fisher the fuck alone.
They’d just ruin him.
Unfortunately, his head is on the chopping block; UBI is now developing a Splinter Cell remake.
No one will ever pick up any Ubisoft franchise.
All of the games will be lost to history and gaming as a whole will take a huge hit.
You will all realize the mistake too late.
@cezarstefanseghjucan The games being lost to history and the impact it would make on gaming in general is sad...but the fact is thats not going to make me support ubisoft or their increasingly predatory monetization methods. Like i dont want games like R6 siege or splinter cell to disappear, but am i really going to buy into their latest titles when i know after 3 months theyre just going to pull the plug on development and let the game die because they arent making record breaking profits off of them? No. I am not. Goodbye Ubisoft, you wont be missed.

Every time Ubisoft releases an Assassin's Creed game, I can only think "This looks like it was made by people sick of making Assassin's Creed games."
The last "real" Assassin's Creed games came out in the mid-2010s, as the 7th generation was ending and the 8th generation was beginning.
I was never interested in the assassin's Creed games and I guarantee you I could probably drunkenly write a better one on a bar napkin.
@@AnneHathawayRulesthe older ones were awesome, I love AC3, and the last Assassin’s Creed game I actually played was Syndicate
i just miss the cooler half of AC, the future shadow war that we were promised so long ago.
@@NexusKinDeadass. The new games kinda feel like a disjointed amalgamation of mechanics that were done better in other games.
Ubisoft: Get used to not owning your games
Players: Get used to not owning your company
@@shatteredteethofgodYou feel better after getting that off your chest?
@@shatteredteethofgodThe fact they threw it to people's faces. Like Diablo imortal stunt don't you all have a phone? Diablo mobile whohoo. Made millions taking advantage of people and gambling addiction
@Rugidios That literally has nothing to do with Ubi saying you don't own your games. What you're talking about is a different issue entirely.
@BenZ-dr9pk It's true, people just don't like hearing it. Unless you have a physical copy of your game, then you don't own it.
@@shatteredteethofgod Technically yes, but in practice not really. Steam and GoG do provide a decent amount of games that do NOT require steam or GoG in order to function, meaning that as long as you have the exe + root folders saved in your pc or an external drive you do own the game and can play it. That obviously does mean that anything that requires steam, won't work but the game it self is playable.
RIP Ubisoft. I appreciate the impact you had on my younger years, but you're not even a shadow of your former self. You lived long enough to become a villain. Rest well.

"Did I every tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing same f*cking thing over and over again, expecting sh*t to change. That is crazy." - Vaas, Far Cry 3
This is completely not relevant. The only thing Ubisoft didn't want was change.
The market has been eating up "the Ubisoft game" for over a decade, the very last thing they wanted or expected was change 😂
Brother?
Def of persistence
@@boblioniathats the point, they do the same shit over and over again each year, and expect bigger sales numbers. they're going insane and the fall of the company proves that
Valhalla?
For a good decade, I was a total fangirl for Ubisoft. Today, I would have to go back at LEAST 6 years to find a Ubisoft game I would still recommend. They've taught me a very valuable lesson on the follies of brand loyalty.
Valhalla sales were highly inflated because we were all in Covid lockdown. People seem to forget that when talking about Valhalla sales.
They stole Valhalla from PSN players. Left me holding dlc I cannot use. They lost hundreds from me over 20$. Hope it was worth it.
We don't know anything about Valhalla's sales, we know that they have "20 million players" which can easily be gamepass and uplay+ or whatever it is called.
Ubisoft usually proudly announces when their game crosses the 10 mil sales mark ... which they didn't do with Valhalla. I wonder why.
Valhalla was a decent Viking fantasy. A bad Assasins creed game though. Once I had done all the raiding I could do and other vikingy stuff and had to progress the story I got bored and never finished it.
Not to mention that the final Vikings season was on its way during that time
Valhalla rode the hype from Odyssey and Origins. A lot because it was the Origins team working on it. Origins was the start of the assassin's order, Odyssey was the ancient history of the Isu and man. Valhalla really felt like them trying to just repeat the formula, but barely any connection to the lore. It wasn't bad, B+ Viking RPG but just not as good as the others.
If companies aren't allowed to fail then it's not a free competitive market.
Buh bye Ubisoft, go learn your lesson.
Enjoy not owning our money.
The market is void of any awesome games.

Ubisoft should get used to people not purchasing their games. As long as I have access to AC Ezio Collection, I don’t need Ubisoft for anything else.
Modern AC games aren't AC games. They're Far Cry with an AC skin. Everything AAA Ubi seems to make these days seem to be Far Cry with a skin.
I'm pretty sure far cry is ac with a skin, not the other way around.
The moment you open up an in game map from a Ubisoft game you realize all their games are the same game.
We did get Assasins Creed in VR that was pretty well received
I’m all about criticizing Ubisoft but this such a shitty and unoriginal critism. AC Origins and Odyssey are great you’re just blinded by nostalgia. I hated ac mirage but I think it’s disingenuous to say it’s not close to the originals
@@jonmann4980 ac odyssey is one of the worst Ac games, bloated to no end and so repetitive you feel like you're doing chores, not playing a game
Star Wars Outlaws but you can’t be a literal outlaw, like how IGN said that this game is the space version of RDR2, how deluded.
IGN gave Alien Isolation 6/10. Goat Simulator, 8/10
Concord was 8/10 I believe 😂
Who cares about IGN
Comparing SWO to RDR2 is like comparing my neighbor from high school who was a role player on our high school basketball team to Michael Jordan
@@BongoBaggins Goat simulator deserves its rating, but alien isolation simply deserved more, that’s all.
The bigger picture at hand is the lack of regulation of corporate greed, tax loopholes with investments, and market share. It hasn't been about making games for over 10 years now. Nearly every large company, not just games, is about making the rich, richer, and the poor, even more poor. Can't fight back or stand up to corporate control when you are hungry and miserable.
Here's a lesson from Nintendo: don't release the same IP every year until it burns and has to be shelved. Make one really good game and let it stay relevant for years while you focus on a different IP and rotate them. Instead of 5 AC games in 5 years release 1 AC, follow with a Rayman, and a Splinter Cell, and a Prince of Persia, etc. Create games that redefine the franchise for a generation and remain selling activelly well at full price for years instead of yearly disposable rushed titles padded with low quality filler and milking your IP's dry
I would love another 3D Rayman game….. been so long…
Yeah but that costs money and takes effort, neither of which corporate CEO’s care very much about giving.
@@MilkTestingMan You spend money to make money. Money doesn't come from thin air and consumer wallet is finite. But of course, their customers are no longer consumers, but the shareholders. They dug their own grave.
Except main Pokemon games lol
@@fr0ck360Because Pokemon games are not made by Nintendo. They are made by Game Freak, Nintendo doesn't own them.
The greatest risk Ubisoft ever took was Far Cry Blood Dragon. And I'm forever grateful for it.
And call of Juarez that came out around the same time. I have the disc version of both.
only good ubisoft game is the one they don't even sell and that's driver san francisco
Blood Dragon was the high water mark for Ubisoft. Hell FC3 was a classic in my eyes too.
Blood Dragon was stupid and insane and I love it.
The latest metroidvania version of Prince of Persia was amazing as well.
Ubisoft just posted a job advertisement on Chinese social media, with the following requirements: female over 18 years old, with experience in the gaming industry within 2 years.
I'm very confused if this is a game company recruiting employees or dei recruiting believers, Ubisoft is not a game company anymore, they have gone too far
Bot
I honestly feel like if Ubisoft continued making subpar games but DIDNT try to convince gamers that they don't know what they want (when it came to NFTs, game ownership, etc.) Ubisoft wouldn't be in this situation. Gamers would've rallied around them purely because of nostalgia but now they're happy that they're collapsing.
Yeah you're completely correct.
Source: EA, Blizzard and 2K are still in business despite barely releasing 1 good game between them this decade
EXACTLY. All they had to do was give people what they've been buying. Far Cry has barely changed since Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed has had a group of fans for every version of the games, The Crew and The Division have had a long time fanbase, etc. If they kept making the innofensive slop games, people would have kept buying them. But no, they had to believe they knew what the people that keep them afloat wanted better than they knew themselves.
Listen when Ubisoft made AC shadow with black dude, that spell doom on the company. Also that they really are idiots at times and think they can lie their way into people and business. It utterly disgusting.
As somebody who has refused to purchase a Ubisoft product for about 10 years, this is incredibly gratifying to watch. Pure schadenfreude.

Exactly the same. I could see through the charade way back and lost complete interest in all their AAA offerings. I would have been interested in their smaller, high quality games like the latest Prince of Persia, but their anti-consumer Uplay platform stopped me in my tracks. They have lost trust with all types of players
@@hemishrp Schadenfreude is a german word that just means the experiencing of joy or self-satisfaction by watching the misfortune of others. There isn't really an english equivalent of the word.

The fact that Ubisoft has basically all but abandon the Rayman Franchise should be a crime against humanity
Its better they do nothing with it. If they made a new one, they would turn him into Gay Man to satisfy the rainbow freaks
“It’s my IP to sit on and do nothing with!”
They were making fun of that very fact in Captain Laserhawk and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope DLC, so maybe they are planning something for Rayman
@@pszemyslaw1365 Rabbids are the Minions of gaming (though maybe a little less annoying, or more annoying, depending on who you ask). We're talking about Rayman; some truly excellent platformers with a wonderfully vibrant, silly, and distinct visual style. I miss Rayman.
Rayman, Splinter Cell, single player Rainbow Six and Brothers in Arms... so many IPs not used.
They hired people from my college Sheridan college game design and game level design courses who were always handing in poorly put together projects always more interested in their cell phones then the lesson or engagement with the teachers. They hired Clinton Bowman a man who stole my work for his shitty space game A.R.M. on steam. When I took it down he sent me death threats.
Ubisoft hired him. Ubisoft hired someone who uttered death threats to another developer. All of Clinton's projects and levels were horrible and broken. But he got hired at Ubisoft. If you are wondering why Ubisoft has gone to shit it's because of shit like this.
I’d believe it. The only thing that smells more than Ubisoft is the doodoo brains of its CEO.
Ah yes, they hired someone who understood HR better than game dev. Classic.
I keep telling people that the new devs (who often are likely behind some of the new "modernization" attempts) just aren't able to replace the talent that built the studio.
A game dev working on 10 year old technology with 20 years of experience iterating is worth more than 5 devs with no experience working with the latest technology. You can't brute force that level of expertise.
They opened up a new studio in Asia for skull and bones and everyone's like "why are the facial animations worse? Why are the water physics so bad? Why couldn't they include any open world exploration, where is the boarding?"
Bruh that's like baby's first game project. And some green dev is supposed utilize the most sophisticated technology in the industry when they haven't even done the basics. Even if there's 4 more of them than before, you can't boil an egg faster with extra cooks.
The old devs also had to invent new tools to add a feature into a game that wasn't prebuilt into the technology or engine. They also have to find artistic solutions to produce something optimized for limited hardware. Now the kiddies just lean on the power only to find that their game looks worse than stuff 10 years ago and runs like shit. Today they can't even get a horse to walk on the ground in a world release trailer.
Don't blame the devs, they are getting hired as a local mechanic to design and build a spaceship. Blame the leadership who thinks these people can produce the kind of stuff that took years of game releases to master.
And while some may think the hiring practices are a societal good, you are inherently going to lose value if all of your developers are straight outta school or they are promoted to leads with very little track record to show that they are qualified.
Not to mention how much time they spend getting into twitter wars with angry customers and defending all of their artistic decisions in games that are widely ridiculed. They haven't earned that yet. I rarely see them post some example of their achievements and technical or artistic prowess outside of a vague allusion to some workplace position because it's almost like they don't have any high quality work that speaks for itself.
And all this inexperience means they are slow to do the basics and get flooded with bugs and their masters crunch them to death to try and make up for expectations set by the developers who both had the technology AND the ability to make the best looking games of the last decade (alot of them are nearly 10 years old by the way)
Bro are you a game dev? @@aidancoutts2341
@@aidancoutts2341
I definitely think you are onto something, and yet palworld shows that literally anyone can create a hit game. I think the devs of pal world had literally no experience going in, save 1 of the 3 original people making it?
The problem isn't just game devs. It is poor management, poor utilization of man hours, focus on the wrong things, weak creative direction, not allowing the devs to actually make a good product.
Any explanation of Ubi’s demise which does not focus on the absolute hysteria that gripped all of corporate culture following the 2020 Floyd riots is missing the picture. The hiring initiatives, the quota pledges, the tonal boundaries, all of it went completely insane, and we’re finally starting to see the market rejection that this dreadful era, and its “equity” projects, deserved all along.
Destroyed my company for sure. Does this video not cover the DEI problem?
@@Btn1136 Nope. It’s still a good video, he laid out a well-researched timeline, but he talks about the symptoms without really describing the root of why these symptoms are happening.
I'm a simple man. I see LGBT bullshit agenda in a video game - I don't buy it. I don't watch videos on it. I steer clear of that shit, I'm sick of it. And I live in Finland where that stuff isn't even that "relevant" or present and I still despise it.
Because this collapse has been years in the making, dei was just a failed marketing attempt that isn't unique to ubisoft. It's stupid but it isn't the only or even main reason for failure, no matter how many youtube channels convince you otherwise, they just want you to click their vids.

Ubisoft burned me so many times over years (post golden age) i've stopped consuming their products a while ago. Ruining Might and Magic was the last straw.

@@BDrumev001 another good one is Songs of Conquest
Was it heros of might and magic that had that cool wow artstyle? I liked that game a lot
Dont even bring HoMM up, this is an open wound.
Remember when they released HoMM3 HD and it has 0 expansion content, making the cheaper version on GoG with free mods objectively better than the official HD remake.
Their excuse was they "lost the source code".
Meanwhile, remasters of games from the same era are recieving brand new expansions.
Are you telling me they found the source-code for those expansions? Of course not, the expansions didnt exist. If you're too lazy to remaster a game properly, either dont do it or be honest about it.
What? No one even knows what that is. They've ruined better franchises than w/e TF Might and Magic is.
Besides the fake virtue signaling Ubisoft had this coming every game is cookie cutter slop.....it's either an AC, farcry or rainbow six game and if not it's one of these games with a skin slapped on top, that mediocre avatar game is just a farcry game in that universe......no original titles and no creativity
@asura48 Yup. The innovation and creativity is gone. Ubisoft, like many publishers, fall into a rut of just doing the same thing over again. Sometimes it can work like Call of Duty where you target a base who love the franchise but acknowledge its shortcomings in recent stuff. But Ubisoft the fact they do this with such buggy, unrefined games is unacceptable. They expect us to pay 70 USD for unfinished games and then day one patch it or fix it later? No thanks. That’s why I play a lot of indie games or older games. If you can’t nail basic game design and have it play well, why bother making games?
@@Avarn388 Totally agree, Ubisoft used to be the innovative underdog we were pulling for.
Now its just the same garbage infecting creatives because a Poli-Sci teacher made millions in packaging Marxism ala Rules for Radicals.
Even skin slap on top of previous game is better than what ubi gave us now... they literally evolved backward.
I do like far cry games though.
They also pulled out and changed their past money making franchises like Splintercell and prince of persia
Unfortunately, Ubisoft acquired Sierra Entertainment in 2008, which later negatively impacted one of the best strategy games with stunning graphics of its time, World in Conflict, developed by Massive Entertainment.
To this day, no other game has matched its ranking system and gameplay. One of the greatest real-time strategy successes, it has been completely overlooked by Ubisoft.
Ubisoft was the company that taught me the lesson, dont buy gold editions or season passes at launch. Ubisoft always discounts the session passes by the time the dlc releases. Also the base games will burn you out so much that you dont want to go back for dlc.
Ubisoft lost me after they just refused to fix bugs on their products preventing them to even start on a decent PC system. They didn't care about it, asked the same questions all the time and started over and over again in a time period of over six months instead of actually offering any solutions. Their support is just as bad as their products are and to be honest, I feel some justice in seeing them fail hard. They didn't care, they didn't mind, they spit on their customers and that's the result - well deserved.
Yup I lost about 1200$ of there games on Steam as I had lost my old e-mail......Steam had no problems and put my new e-mail on my Account with them....But Ubisoft refused to believe me and I even gave them all my Steam Keys for there games I paid for on Steam but still not change my e-mail on there launcher ...so fuck them. I had no problem replacing said games from Torrents
Uplay made stay clear from Ubisoft games.
Far cry 5 was the start of me realizing I didnt want what ubisoft was selling. Valhalla was the last time they got money from me. Mostly because my wife wanted it.
Far cry 3 12 years ago they got vaas’s actor face perfect, but in 2024 they can’t even get an actress face to look anything remotely close to her using brand new tech. That’s really sad.

Assassin's Creed died with Desmond, What left is it's corpse.
Honestly I think it should have ended with Revelations but AC 3 was also a great point to end Desmonds story.
wrong. black flag was argueable the best title of thr franchise. unity is great today and syndicate is fine. origins did a great job. it is greed ,microtransactions maybe lazyness that destroyed ubi and ac
@@zakzerak7191 Black flag was a good pirate game on itself not a good "Assassin's" Creed game.
Rouge was mid.
Unity has best parkour but fail at story and was plagued by bugs at lunch so much that was unplayble for 2 year.
Syndicate is boring.
And rest with RPG mechanics are stupid. Level requirements for being able to kill an enemy while already sneaking on him? Seriously?
Assassin’s Creed was still good up to Syndicate, anything after that was just a generic RPG with nothing tying it to the AC franchise.
@@Hewasnumber1Ehh dunno, I liked quite a lot Origins and even Odyssey
They don't even put steam achievements on their games on steam just out of spite. That's how allergic Ubisoft is to making money.
They hate Steam. I lost about 1200$ of there games on Steam as I had lost my old e-mail......Steam had no problems and put my new e-mail on my Account with them....But Ubisoft refused to believe me and I even gave them all my Steam Keys for there games I paid for on Steam but still not change my e-mail on there launcher ...so fuck them. I had no problem replacing said games from Torrents
@@rossmackay-williams4583 That's wild man. You did the right thing.
Me and my friends call modern Ubisoft games "checklist games". Anytime they find a gimick that works like for example far cry's radio towers they'll shove said gimick in every other game just for the sake of it until people are sick to death of it.
Just to remind everyone SBI founders are former Ubisoft employees.
So in essence, Ubisoft is ground zero for all the BS modern gaming has.

Remember: Yves refused to disclose preorder numbers for Star Wars Outlaws and AC Shadows when asked by investors. We saw the state of Outlaws when it launched. What does that say about Shadows?
outlaws is amazing i bought on launch, easily my top 3 of the year
@prince_warhero you must only play two games a year then.
@@prince_warhero The other two games must of been the day before and Skull and bones for The only 3 games you played this year.
@@prince_warherothing is. I hate what Ubisoft is doing but actually outlaws is really fun. Great universe graphics and atmosphere. Combat is ok but it’s not a shooter. Really enjoyed it
@@prince_warherowell yeah obviously if you like "the Ubisoft game" and Star Wars, you are going to like the Star Wars Ubisoft game.
The thing you gotta remember is that "I like this game" is not the same as a game being good.
Being able to admit and be aware of what makes a game bad while still retaining your enjoyment of it is how you build good critiques in your mind and ultimately leads to being able to enjoy more games to a greater degree.
Plenty of games I loved and would put in my top 5 for the given year that I would be the first to admit are bad games.
And bro, Outlaws is a *bad* game, even if you ignore the hiatorical and social context
I have completely lost faith in the western gaming industry. I am just waiting for the inevitable asian takeover. Korea, China, Japan (aside from some companies turned woke like Sony, Capcom, Bamco and Squeenix) are where the real videogames are still made.
When Far Cry 6 launched I remember in his review Skillup said YOU'VE ALREADY PLAYED FAR CRY 6 EVEN BEFORE INSTALLING IT. That was the best description of the Ubisoft games these days.
I think the best one recently was Yahtzee’s Fully Ramblomatic with Star Wars Outlaws having him sigh and say “You. Know. How. It. Plays.”
I couldn't even finish it. It was so generic.
Loved FC5, but couldn't be bothered to finish 6. Was so hollow, repetitive and boring, I just turned it off and uninstalled.
I don’t fully agree when I come to far cry 6. Yeah it had the basic far cry formula but the new gameplay mechanics and story were terrible. I’ve never played a far cry game as bad as 6 before installing it. Far cry 5 didn’t have best story but I loved it and the gameplay is great. I still play it. I mean how can you make a game about overthrowing a dictator and not be able to loot weapons off of dead enemies.
@@InvokeZero yeah i was Just thinking they should at least do a sequal to five while forgetting 6 is already out lol
At this point Ubisoft is the new EA. I'm done with this company.
Except it's EA with no money
Ubi has REALLY cooked themselves this year. Between The Crew, Skull and Bones, Outlaws, and the disaster that is Shadows, I don’t think they’re gonna recover
Yeah, even if they improve the quality of their games, it's going to take a lot to get players to actually respect the company or buy their products again. Many people have already completely stopped buying anything with the Ubisoft name on it. Being a development studio at Ubisoft making new games right now is pretty much a death sentence.
and they still havent fired every woke dev
Nobody was even playing the crew and some people don’t understand how licensing works everyone even Ubisoft knew skull in bones was trash outlaws is on pace to sell 2 million units in less then a month but will ultimately fall short but is no way a flop and shadows for all the mess that’s going on it will not be Ubisoft savior but it will sell well for them regardless people seem to forget how big of a franchise AC is and also games like prince of Persia platform that did well xdifiant had a strong start but cod bout to come out would say u soft had a mixed year not the year they where expecting but at the end of the day there 2 main games shadows and outlaws will sell just not how they thought they would
@@coolbrotherf127I disagree it’s actually very simple for Ubisoft to turn it around but that’s if they care which idk probably don’t they have to have those French owners get rid of them fire all the women making dumb decisions fire the activist left ideals dei BS frauds that are not gamers at all keep that tech they have then mabey just mabey they also have to cut down on there employees why they heck do they need 19,000 employees it’s ridiculous
@@WeKNOWTHETRUTHITSUNDISTPUTED when even the shareholders are bailing out and tanking the price of their stocks to near decade-old numbers, yes it’s a bad year. You can’t mitigate a year where they had nothing that actually garnered a profit. I bet you already forgot Avatar Frontiers of Pandora like everybody else did.
Their launcher can go phuk itself. That's the main reason why I don't play Ubisoft or EA or Rockstar games anymore. I paid for Battlefield games, Watch Dogs 2, and Red Dead Redemption 2/GTA 5 and 4 and I CAN'T PLAY ANY OF THEM! I refuse to pay for any games that require a launcher from here on out. Literally been screwed from all the launchers and lost $40+ from EACH launcher. I lost the most money from Rockstar by far. I will not pay any money to play any games from these publishers for the rest of my life if you catch my drift.
I don't mind the Ubisoft launcher because they've given away a lot of their classics for free through it.

What's funny is if you look up pictures of Ubisoft devs 15 years ago and compare those to pictures of them recently, you'll notice a glaring difference in the devs themselves lol
Internally they talk a lot about their recruitment processes, and those are fueled by a focus on the types of person they hire based on skin colour, ethnicity, sex and other traits instead of skills.
This is real, they actually do that, so the results are as expected.
It's wild to me that this happens in every single big studio, they openly brag about how they discriminate in the name of diversity and equity, yet most people completely ignore it when talking about the downfall of AAA gaming. It's like the elephant in the room that most don't want to touch. People blame corporate greed and other stuff, and I do think there are multiple factors, but the demographics of the studios completely changing and the demographic that was the backbone of western gaming has been shut out except for the few who go with the program.
Stop noticing things
I am Persian when I saw they made the new prince of Persia game look like Miles Morales with hiphop music I knew I wasn’t going to touch another one of their games. I’m sure it’s a fun game, but I’m done with their woke bullshit. The one time us Persians get a game in modern times they make us black with dreadlocks.
Jake Gyllenhaal and an african can be the prince of persia before someone who looks like they could be from the middle east😂
@@aidancoutts2341 No you don’t need a Persian you know. Just make them look somewhat Persian. An ebony character with dreadlocks and American hiphop is definitely not that lol. You can get any olive colored white actor and just give them an authentic looking Cyrus beard and there you have it. Doesn’t have to be too accurate just somewhat authentic.
How is 'looks like miles Morales and hiphop music" woke? I swear people like you call anything they don't like "woke" and it's boring af. Guaranteed you have no idea yourself wt that means
It's funny coz me a white guy thinks the same thing
Crazy concept but I'd love to play as a Persian in Persia. Or a Japanese in Japan !

Ubisoft will live on. Not because they deserve it or have anything to offer the world. But because of Canadian tax dollars.
It's quite ironic how Ubisoft made a villain like Vaas and never listened to his advice about "Insanity". They will never change
You all know that Ubisoft didn't write that, right? They just took a quote that existed for decades before Far Cry 3 and is often misattributed to Albert Einstein, and added some f-bombs to it. Ubisoft isn't clever enough to write something that good. And so of course they would never think about it and act on the point it makes.
@@mjc0961 Yeah, we all know. Thanks for nothing.
I remember when CDPR surpassed Ubisoft as europe's most valuable game publisher.
It is shocking to see Ubisoft continue to fall in market value to be worth far less than 2 billion considering the amount of games they push out. Yves is actually a full idiot.
CDPR was overvauled based on hype, after the game the stock went back down.

But that group can achieve great things. Carlin didn't get the memo that it was a necessity.
Great quote. You can have a conversation with someone one on one , and then have a conversation with said person in a group and you see two different personas
There's also the Mario Rabbids games. The two games are shockingly good, accessible strategy games and one of the weirdest projects both Nintendo and Ubisoft ever made. Now that the lead developer has officially left Ubisoft, the series is pretty much over.
If you had literally Nintendo making constant checks on your progress, is not a surprise they were pushed into making a polished and high standard videogame
Wish this was the case for the recent buggy Pokemon release, but it was a tight schedule problem and nothing else. At least they had the dignity to acknowledge their mistake and offer instant refunds
Cunning Ubisoft made everyone believe that Valhalla sold the most in the series.
p.s. Watch Dogs almost ignored😢
Ubisoft: We hammer the wagon until the wheels fall of, and rather then put the wheels back on again we continue hammering until there is not a wagon left, when we are done with the wagon we will hammer away at the wheels. After all that we will sell rides on the same wagon and not understand why customers complain about the wagon and wheels being broken. Did we mention that we also killed and ate the horse, now expecting that the customers will drag the wagon?
Nice analogy
Felt that downfall from miles away since Ubisoft opened a small game studio in my country. Local game dev community loathed them. Wrong culture and soul sucking job.

I still won't forget an interview asking a dev about the new Assassin's Creed title and why there hadn't been any female main character yet, and the dev froze and said nothing for 2 solid mins.
Haven't gone near a Ubisoft game in a decade, and that's unlikely to change anytime soon. Gamers should have been at the point they are now YEARS ago.
Anno?
Imagine ruining your business for agendas no one cares about
Bro they see sweet baby who we know works very closely with UBI Montreal (sweet baby CEO in a pic with the all female devs of AC shadows) destroying every game & ruining the reputation of every studio & studios still hire them. Or they’re blackmailed because she did say that’s one of their tactics to get companies to comply.
Ubisoft has been awful long before SBI/DEI though.
Ubishit: Don't get used to own games.
Pirates: Meh, that don't apply to us, but we don't want to own YOUR games anyway.
Yeah who wants to pirate star wars outlaws😂
Ubisoft used to be my favorite developer….Where the hell are the Splinter Cell games ? They sat on a goldmine and ruined it all…
I just want to leave this comment here to remind everyone that when the Division 1 dropped we had to stand in line like we where in the god damn DMV to take turns accessing a computer in order to progress the story because the Ubi debs didn't have enough foresight to see how only allowing one person to access something like that would effect the game.
The collapse of Ubisoft will trigger a well-overdue winter in the triple A game industry.

I haven't been interested in a Ubisoft game in a long time. Skull & Bones took years to develop when all they had to do was look at Sea of Thieves and decide to make it with better graphics. Instead years later their CEO publicly said we gamers need to get comfortable not owning our games. To that I say I will never buy another Ubisoft game again.
*"It is a good life we lead Brother."*

In around 2005, Ubisoft had a group of committed and talented creatives. They made Assassin's Creed 1. They made it from scratch, too, the engine and all.
Ubisoft has been ridin' that dick for the last 20 years. Every game they make is a reskin of AC1. Watch Dogs, that shitty Avatar game... All of em.
1:21 They definitely should've called it Black Shadows. Not because it could be like a race joke, but because I think that definitely sounds better. But at least the title is free for a better game
I think they should’ve called it that for both reasons. Black people would get a kick out of it. Then the white journalists would be the ones getting offended.
Ubisoft can go away now, they've trashed the Tom Clancy name and as you say just recycle garbage.
I hope Bethesda is listening
There not look at the broken Starfield the whole story in that game is broken
Bethesda is a lost cause too
don't worry, they aren't
Their next game is a make or break for me
Nope, they done. Already full of modern feminist, there’s a pattern.
Reminder that they're not the one who have the power. It's us, the consumer. We have the power to choose. And we don't choose Ubisoft.
Unfortunately Ubisoft has the help of shareholders.At first I thought that creating a game was simple and not very expensive but you fucking shareholders help developers to stay in business.Even though those asshole shareholders have never touched a game in their lives.
There's only one reason on why the company is dying and it's one word = FEMINISTS
No developers were offended during the making of their games.
and they should be
especially AC shadows
I seem to recall a discussion from over a decade ago - Some Ubisoft upper management suit flat out said that they despised their customer base, that all PC gamers were nothing but thieves, and that their developers were all interchangeable. This aggressively dickery coincidences with the most aggressive pushes for what was then Uplay being welded on top of denuvo on top of steam.
the moment that they stopped making rayman games, the literal face of Ubisoft, it was the beginning of the end for me
yea... they made rayman 1-3 .... and then they fucked up....
the day they scrapped rayman 4 for those fucking rabbits and made a stupid wii party game instead... was the day ubisoft was dead to me
You legitimately sound mad at those rabbits like they've personally attacked you, and that made me chuckle, but honestly I felt that too.
rayman 4 was in development hell raving rabbits was basically what was made with the workable scraps
I like the first 2 rabbids games, but after that was a wash and they phased Rayman out in the process. That did suck, but I cannot say that those first 2 weren't fun. Hopefully they sell off the Rayman IP and the Rabbids IP to some other studio who would care about it.
25:26 As a black person, i could not agree with you more😒 I really hate hiw these people have ruined diversity in media with garbage writing, bad characterization and tokenism.
It's not genuine, and they are just pandering. They are going through the same checklist created by focus groups, that has plagued hollywood.
It would be cool if they spent their money on developing games based on those ancient African civilizations instead of putting a black guy into Samurai culture. I’ve always loved the mysteries of Africa but all these wokesters don’t get it!
@asianpersuasian7248 Braindead take. Yasuke was a real samurai and ac orgins took place in Africa. It's almost like the """woke""" you're complaining about doesn't exist and it's just an excuse to be racist

AC Origins? @@asianpersuasian7248
As someone who understands that there is a fine line between the publishers and the developers, I have to say that I don't really care for ubisoft's developers. Not only are they complicit in creating very boring and formulaic games, but they're also constantly attacking gamers and virtue signaling. I especially found it in poor taste how they were criticizing Elden Ring just because it was a better game than their crap. If Ubisoft goes under and their developers lose their jobs, I won't lose sleep over it
Ubisoft has great ideas... and always always always find a way to fuck it up majorly
So they used to do 2D platformers, driving, first person and third person shooters and a variety of experiences and new adventures. They then shifted to try something new like greed and telling people how they should think. Good business decisions.
The Division 2 hasn’t had a dlc in 5 years by the time one comes out. This game had a huge player base and through Ubi’s incompetence they just let it die. I lament the fact that with the fall of Ubisoft,upcoming The Division 3 may never be seen.
That breaks my heart reading this. I live in Asia and was blessed to visit Washington DC and even attend classes at Georgetown University. Playing that game after I came back home from the US really stirs great memories as I walked the streets I literally was at in 2015
and they had the team behind it make outlaws
Ubisoft have never been softer and they are failing HARD.
Lol, Ubisoft aren't going anywhere. They have a plethora of issues that need sorting, but large, government backed institutions rarely, if ever fail.
Finally. Someone who gets it. Ubisoft is too big of a company to suddenly collapse. Ubisoft wont go anywhere. People just love to hate them because it is the cool thing to do.
Their stock price is plummeting. You people are coping. Large companies have colaosed before.
It’s honestly depressing how much the industry changed compared to when I was growing up. I’m an early 90’s kid so most of my exposure to gaming was the 6th generation(ps2, xbox, gamecube, and dreamcast) and the early to mid 7th generation( ps3, xbox 360, and wii) which to me is when gaming peaked. Back then, AAA games were smaller in scale but had ambition to be creative, innovative, and fun. I remember watching G4 and watching shows like Icons where they would talk about important figures in the industry and studios that were renowned for unique experiences.
All that plus the games I played made me want to become a game dev specifically in the field of art. But life happened and that dream never happened unfortunately, but I held onto the hope that it could. Then the industry shifted from fun to profit. We started to see these companies’ true colors through greed, anti consumerism, incompetence and tone deaf behavior. Ubisoft, Blizzard, EA, Activision were publishers I wanted to work under but now they all showed that what I would’ve help create and the kind of creativity I could provide would be wasted and unwanted because of their poor business practices. But I still hold onto the hope that the successes of games like Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3, Stellar Blade, Black Myth Wukong, and collections like Marvel vs Capcom push the industry in a better direction. Small hope but it’s there
Ac Valhalla was the last game from Ubisoft i ever purchased. The mediocrity on display in that game made it clear that they didn't care about quality anymore or trying to please their customers, outside of pacifying audiences with generic trash.
Crazy thing is, Ubisoft was chasing CDPR's Witcher trend with open world RPG's starting with Origins. If it wasn't an Assassins Creed Ubisoft game, it would have passed. Even with Odyssey and Valhalla, these were passable, but not great games.
It's evident the developers who worked on those games are no longer at Ubisoft.
Same. Played it for about 2 hours then never touched it again.
I was supposed to refund valhalla on epic but went over the return window. The game sucks, it's boring.
They lost me a few hours into Far Cry 4. Other than the cool alternate ending, it just played like FC3 with elephants. And FC3 already just felt like AC2 with guns and a great antagonist they killed off at the ejd of act 1.
Only good games from Ubisoft since Far Cry Blood Dragon were R6 Siege and Anno 1800. And they managed to ruin Anno with an online requirement and a really crazy business model 😂
It's great to see people finally turn against Ubi but it makes me wonder how they got this far considering that nothing Ubisoft has done this year is any different to how they've conducted their last 5-10 years as a business - the only difference is theyve been Tweeting more
Same. Valhalla felt like a big downgrade from Odyssey (which I loved), and at that point I was fully burned out on using UbiConnect to play pc games. I haven't even considered buying another Ubisoft game since then, and I have my steam storefront hide all of their games.
You didn't address the elephant in the room when it comes to discussing Ubisoft.
DEI hiring is what has really destroyed the company.
The original Assassin's Creed actually had a DEI message at the beginning of the game.
Hiring your workforce based on race, gender and political affiliation instead of experience & talent is always going to lead to disaster.
Bye Ubisoft, you won't be missed.
AC Unity was the last Ubisoft game I bought, I've even boycotted anything they published too. It wasn't so much the atrocious state that Unity was launched in, it was the unconditionally waiving of my right to take legal action that was buried in the 'small print' if I accepted a free game as compensation.
still AC Unity wasn't very fun game but it was revolutionary in many ways, a true next gen of it's time, but they gave up all risks and sold their souls to blackrock or smth like this
Yes, Vaas is great! 7:38 Correction Ubisoft accidently created one of the most memorable video game villains of all times ( I said accidently because if Ubisoft knew what they were doing, they would've based the whole game around Vaas and Michael Mando incredible performance ) instead with chase some nobody around 3/4 of the game after you kill Vaas in the first quarter of the game.
I am doing exactly what Ubisoft wanted and that is not owning their games
You are an ungrateful spoiled pirate. Makes perfect sense, otherwise you would not be here.
Let us not forget For Honor, the most unique fighting game which Ubisoft turned to slop
the crew has terrible driving physics, ubisoft connect needs to be shut down
Unless they take their games seriously again, I'm not going to buy a single game from them.
$24 dollars the highest that Ubisoft shares have ever been worth? Their all-time high price is around $113.00 (currently trading a $14.00). You're looking at an ADR chart.
Its sad that game companies like Ubisoft, Naughty Dog, Bioware and telltale were companies that I genuinely loved back then from 2010-2016, now I couldn't care less what they make cuz they became interested in making money instead of creating stories that you can fall in love with. I own every assassin's creed game on console that's come out and it used to be my favorite franchise, I can't say I bought the games from loving them but because of obligation is the only way I can justify it to myself.
I've known for years that just because you buy a game doesn't necessarily mean you own it, but you don't blatantly tell your consumers that and shit on them when theirs pushback.
