I have to offer a correcton for the NFT section of this video. Ubisofts latest project did not make around $3300 of 24 hour sales. I showed the conversion of 1 ETH to USD when Ubisoft's project dealt with a fraction of that. The actual figure was closer to ~$880 which is even more pathetic then I initially stated.
I bet xdefiant was making a lot more than $880 like they literally killed a game where they could have just kept the servers up and let people give them money to release another nft project after their first nfts were a huge failure
Don’t forget that Ubisoft fired the original creator of AC, Patrice Désilets, over reasons that were “baseless and without merit” according to him. His original endgame plan for the series was to end it with a game set in modern day and you play as Desmond. Ubisoft couldn’t handle the idea of giving their cash cow a proper ending I guess. Now we’re left with an IP devoid of all the quality and direction it once had.
You don't own games you buy on steam. Buying games is like buying movies, you really purchase a license to that product. I agree that ubisoft should have worded things differently.

Yep, I have a long list of demands before I'll buy a product from Ubisoft again but one key one is they have to give back the DLC they stole from games like Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood when they shut down activation servers in 2022.
I’ll never forgive Ubisoft for letting the recent Prince of Persia game(taking elements from the Metroidvania subgenre) to become a commercial failure due to invisible marketing. They should’ve given the game more recognition then so it wouldn’t flop despite the positive reception from critics, fans of the series, and players alike. 😤
IMO we trash on ubisoft open world design not because it's 'overwhelming' but because it's repetitive. Like I wouldn't mind a map with a thousand things to do...if only they were all outstanding and unique in their own way. Ubisoft just litters the map with like 5 copy pasted mission types repeated over and over, that's what's boring.
They could fix most of their open world slop issues if they just downsized their games. Assassin's creed open world is cool in theory but only if you have meaningful content to spread across that world, which shouldn't be hard for them to do but here we are. If they made the maps much much smaller, then it wouldn't be as bad. These games should be the size of AC black flag at most, and that was a navel game. Or these games just shouldn't be open world at all, that'd be nice.
That's the worst thing about their games to me as far as gameplay and enjoyment goes. None of it is unique in any way anymore, it's all the same mundane tasks over and over again.
This is also one of the complaints levied against Elden Ring too. The copy/pasted catacombs and several bosses (Erdtree Avatars and Ulcerated Tree Spirits) Of course, the difference is FromSoft tried to make as much unique content as they could and ended up having to reuse stuff to fill out a world. While Ubisoft seems to be content with the first 5 things they think of copy/pasted ad nauseum.
The irony is that that was the main problem with AC1 - sloppy repetitive side quests. The next couple of games made the side quests more meaningful, and now with the massive open worlds the quality of the side quests have gone backwards
In 2009, a "Ubisoft Game" could be Assassin's Creed 2, an open-world action game with social stealth, Anno 1404, a city building game, HAWX, an arcade dogfighter, World in Conflict, a Real-time strategy game, Rabbids Go Home, a puzzle/ platformer, Avatar: the video game, a crappy third-person shooter, or a number of DS exclusive fashion games. In 2024, everyone knows exactly what the game is like the second you say it's a "Ubisoft game." They stopped diversifying, and it destroyed them.
Nothing gets more views that calling out Ubisoft, Bethesda and Activision. At this point I just avoid any video with these titles and just wait it out until it's actually confirmed they are 100% over
Truth be told, killing off Splinter cell, lobotomizing Ghost Recon, cancelling bge 2, not producing any major prince of persia game since 2010. You had to be blind to not observe the pattern.
Chaos Theory was a game a decade ahead of its time, if not more. I still to this day still play the first three games as they are timeless (barring maybe the graphics). Gameplay, plot, voice acting, are all phenomenal which very few other game series hold a candle to. It's Ubisoft's greatest sin (in my opinion) ruining this game series.
I have pirated almost all the assassins creed game. The only one I haven't downloaded from pirate sites are Valhalla (gifted) and AC China, Russia and India (gifted by ubisoft). Im never giving Ubisoft my money
The AC3 multiplayer Erudito cutscenes with a mysterious hacker deconstructing Abstergo commercials and calling out conspiracy theories were genuinely eerie and disturbing. They had such good lore before they pushed out the writer of AC.
@@RosesArePink210 I know right they announced they will make a reboot/remake of Rayman next year Wich is conveniently 2025 aka the 30th anniversary of the series And I hate how they treat Rayman after all these years
0:36 WTF you could’ve told me that game is running on a PS4 or PS5 and I wouldn’t have questioned it… seriously goes to show the lack of care Ubisoft has had for their games in the past decade 😬
Ubisoft doesn't need to tell us the definition of insanity. They've shown us over the years that they've been doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results (and all the big bucks)
Technically no. They're actually doing the same thing over and over again expecting the _same_ result; the overwhelming success and market dominance of the past. Unfortunately, that's not how things work anymore. People want innovation in their sixty dollar titles, not NFTs.
I've been calling it for the last few years now, tons of these obvious flop TV shows, games, movies etc are 100% a new age money laundering scheme. 1) Have tons of illegal cash you want to spend 2( Think up and hype up Title X 3) Claim Title X costs 200 million to make 4) Spend only 2 million on the actual production of Title X 5) Pocket all your new found leftover cash and don't care if Title X flops or not. If you squeeze out a polished turd that actually sells half decently then it's just icing on the cake. Now we just need to wait and see if they'll actually dump some cash into a rebound strategy to keep the scheme going before the company goes under or if everyone who did care is long gone and all the current shareholders are so stacked with cash cows that they don't care if just one falls over dead.
UbiSlop - Gamers need to get Comfortable Not Owning their Games... Gamers - Ubisoft needs to get comfortable with gamers not buyin their games and getting bankrupt, stocks droppin, and panicking
Those AC2 conspiracy theory things had me absolutely fucking hooked to the game when i was like what, 10 years old? Its crazy how much of a turd Ubisoft has become now.
22:40 actually, no, Tencent cannot help them as the French government placed a law where businesses cannot be purchased by outside of country places. Because Ubisoft is still located in France, they cannot do anything about it and unless another French giant buys them, it's over for Ubisoft.
The optimistic part of me hopes beyond rationality that AC: Shadows flops so hard it pounds the final nail into Ubisoft's coffin with the force of a nuclear piledriver. The realistic part of me says that AC: Shadows will single-handedly bring Ubisoft back from the brink of the abyss, no matter how bad and/or microtransaction-laden it is, because the typical gaming consumer lacks basic self control and mindlessly throws money at anything with a familiar name slapped on it, no matter how many times such behavior has burned them before.
I'll be honest here. I'm probably one of the real minority, but I come from the perspective of knowing exactly how bad things have gotten, yet continuing to purchase Assassin's Creed titles. The first one came out when I was 7 or 8 years old and I've been hooked on them ever since. The series has taken a real down turn, yet I can't help but continuing to purchase the main line AC titles. Not out of support for the series, but I guess to feed my inner child. I know exactly how badly I'm wasting my hard earned money, playing lackluster games with below average story telling. If Shadows is the last ever Assassin's Creed game, then that's where it ends.
I think you're kind of on-point with your realistic part but I disagree about the type of gaming consumer lacking basic control. It's more likely content producers like youtubers and streamers that will pre-order those games so they can play them day 1 and put out those first videos or those first guides before a regular consumer picks them up. They will also likely be getting those collectors editions to review them and make another buck out of the video. Even for a publisher like Ubisoft that is going under, the content producers are the new whales that game publishers now rely on for their earliest sales.
Another sad loss with Ubisoft is the 'Silent Hunter' series (which is a U-boat/Sub sim) which was made during Ubisoft's golden age, the last Silent Hunter game being released in 2010.
Ngl kinda sad for me since I love assassins creed but they’ve fucked over every franchise they’ve made and has made so many bad games so at the same time I’m happy
I joined Ubisoft in 2008 (Casablanca Studio closed in 2016), I was in heaven, Assassin's Creed was the big thing back then We were not involved but we had all the insiders updates, and it was crazy fascinating I'm happy I lived through that era because Ubisoft went downhill after, so sad.. I also adore Assassin's Creed II, my favorite of them all
Yes @@heyjeySigma ! it did exist from 1999 to 2016! It mainly did ports to N64, PS2, and later some versions of POP, Rayman, Rabbids and other IPs I was part of 11 projects including the amazing Vita ports of Child of Light and Rayman Legends :)
Look how they massacred my limbless boy(Rayman)… The downfall of Ubisoft, made I like others continue the declining developer and Persona 5 Palace Owner comparison. Here’s my take: Activision-Blizzard(sexual abuse of their employees, the suicide of a female employee, the hypocrisy surrounding Blizzard’s firing of Quinton Flynn, resulting with karma from California’s government) - Kamoshida Take-Two Interactive(the CEO, Strauss Zelwick’s origin as a corrupt Wall Street executive, whom many from New York’s financial district call 'The Devil', and was responsible for butchering the beloved Rockstar Games after acquiring them) - Madarame Electronic Arts(their greed made them a meme amongst gamers) - Kaneshiro Capcom(between 2011-2016, though redeemed since 2017) - Futaba Konami(from 2015, such as the mistreatment/firing of Hideo Kojima, and the infamous Nikkei Report, where the company’s employees were treated as slaves) - Okumura Sega(created Sonic the Hedgehog as revenge against Nintendo, however a ton of in-fighting between the company’s North American and Japanese divisions lead to the Saturn and 32X’s failure. The Dreamcast’s flop and overshadowing by the PS2 nearly caused Sega to go out of business, and they were solely responsible for Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric becoming some of the worst games ever made, primarily due to executive meddling) - Sae Ubisoft(suffered the worst outcome by milking Assassin’s Creed and Just Dance, sending their mascot Rayman to benchwarm for the Rabbids and aforementioned two cashcows, joined the NFT craze late, and treated their employees like shit) - Shido Atari(the lack of quality control on the 2600 lead to the fabled 'video game crash of 1983', and despite the Jaguar being a success, its expansion the Jaguar CD wasn’t due to many hardware failures proven by a friend of James Rolfe aka the Angry Video Game Nerd, Atari was also responsible for terrible decisions, which caused Humongous Entertainment and other developers they acquired to be left for dead, and Atari themselves to eventually fold in 2013) - Maruki
Stop using crypto and stick to national currencies. Y'all have spawned way too many new currencies that fluctuate and die rapidly. Y'all waste electricity making computers play a math game that gets progressively harder and eventually impossible. I understand that is how cryptos get printed and will eventually stop printing. A decentralized common currency is a good idea, but it's clearly not working.
@@poly7069 first of all, there's a reason computers play the math game, it helps uphold the currency itself, and second, i think this person is just trying to clarify and is not necessarily trying to endorse crypto. i agree with you for the most part though

@ ik some company out there can reboot these titles (im specifically talking abt ac rn) and make sure they are GOOD. no way the biggest arc of ur game ended in a book nobody bought
@ i forgot abt watch dogs it was SOOO good, i honestly think they didnt know what to do with it. Shouldve js been an Aiden trilogy and maybe ended off with the DLC in Legion, Watch Dogs 2 couldve been a spinoff series where TBone led a new group and thats how we got introduced to Marcus’ group (since he’s dedsec and Aiden js a fixer)
It's true. When I was a little shit, some twenty plus years ago, Ubisoft made it their point to only publish exceptional quality and innovation. Back then, the rainbow lined "Ubi Soft" logo and later the purple swirl never failed to get me excited. Times sure do like to change.
R.I.P. to Ubisoft man, so many great titles and IP's, some of my favorites: - Farcry 2 & 3 - Assassins Creed: 2 & IV: Black Flag - Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2 - Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: 1 & Chaos Theory (I didn't enjoy Pandora Tomorrow, sorry) - Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield - Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 - Tom Clancy's The Division 1 I've played and tried a lot of their more modern titles, but none of them stack up to these juggernauts.
"Having more stuff" has never been a problem to Ubisoft. They've mastered the craft of having a lot of padding in their games that isn't fun in the slightest and in the end amounts to nothing.
It hurts just because they did make some of the best games of my teenagehood. So many hours on far cry 3 and even the crew at one time. I miss those days.
At the time, Far Cry 3 was probably my absolute favorite game coupled together with Black ops 2. They were my most played games back then, BlOps2 wins out on hours played though for sure
I don't have a lot of experience with Rockstar but every Farcry game is better than every GTA. I like San Andreas as a kid, but those games are just kinda lame to me now. I did play basically all of the GTA series as a kid, but maybe I just grew out of it. I won't play GTA6 probably. Even RDR2 was.. sleep inducing. Honestly, the aiming system used in those games is terrible, that is a major reason I don't like rockstar games. I also prefer Battlefield to COD.
You can get extra conspiratorial with this and say that with the popularity of Assassin's Creed II and the conspiracies and overall theme within were seen as a problem and reeled in so that by the third game it had seemingly lost its way, not by accident but on purpose because they were hitting too close to the mark
When I was a teenager playing AC2 I wanted to be a game dev. And I wanted to work at Ubisoft. Now... I feel like my younger self would be very upset with me, but I just don't care anymore. They have earned this death. They squandered any goodwill I had for them several times over, over the course of a decade or more. And it sucks, because they really did have something special going on there for a while.
27:59 Just to clarify, the $3.3k number is what 1 ETH is worth in USD. 0.274 is, at the time of writing this comment, 919.34$. If he had scrolled down a bit more he would've seen the conversion of the number he typed in the search bar. Not sure why Google display it like this, but they do.
Bioware is surviving because, whether this is general knowledge or not, the average game dev in Canada is paid roughly 75k per year whereas an American one is paid around 98k yearly. This is coupled with Bioware also being a grant recipient from several Federal and Provincial grant programs in Canada. So really Bioware is surviving on paying their devs less and being bailed by the government.
I'll consider Ubisoft done when they go out of business. Until then, they're very much not done and are still very much helping poisoning the well. And even when they go out of business, just knowing people who speak on Ubisoft's behalf and have a say in their decisions are free to move onto other companies in the industry doesn't particularly fill me with hope for the future.
So sad watching your favorite studios and ip’s get sacrificed. Thank god for the East is all I can say. Currently playing through the yakuza games. So good.
Mort has good videos but this guy must have no job, responsibilities, kids, a partner, any errands to run, or anything in life. He has 100 percented games in days from release when no guides are even out yet. It's definitely suspicious lol
2:09 this kinda stuff is what makes me stop being interested in a game, its too much content for most people to follow and stay interested in, yea sure theres some dedicated fans that love it, but i dare say for the majority of people its just too much to try to keep up with
No ubisoft game is that complicated lmao. Majority of the activities are optional. I never heard about someone complaining about too much content that actually a first.

5:56 funny enough in Metal Gear Solid Peacewalker when you jump off a rooftop into a hay bale it plays the Assassin Creed eagle sound effect with an achievement popping called "Leap of Faith"
I seem to remember after the Ghost Recon Breakpoint debacle, Ubisoft delayed all their games in the pipeline to reorient their strategy. It’s five years later and nothing has changed. What were they doing during the pause, playing with themselves?
The only Ubisoft game I enjoyed recently was Anno 1800 and GR: Wildlands. Other than that, everything else are utterly garbage. They pretty much lost their identity as a respected gaming company and alienated their audience.
I really love the way you display other people's videos. Obviously it's not always great to show the other videos. But the way it shows their name and everything is really classy. It immediately peeked my interest to see you 'shout out' a channel with 900 subs.
@1pyroace1 In the game you get different capes from the main people you're helping in the different cities. These capes made it so that any crimes you committed in that city won't raise your notoriety, their version of wanted level. From collecting all the feathers, Ezio's mom gives you the "Auditore" cape. If you wear it, your notoriety is maxed out in every city.
AC3 was what killed it for me. Not only was the story lessened but to me the combining of the free run and sprint button was the nail in the coffin for the gameplay.
Ubisoft used to make interesting games. Fun games. From the old days of PC gaming with POD, the PlayStation era with Driver and the 360 era with Assassin's Creed. Far Cry 3 was where I think Ubisoft started to lose it. Not to say it was a terrible game, it was brilliant, but that game seemed to turn Ubi's way of developing, if you understand. Now, they're a company willing to throw years of work away with The Crew and make the sloppiest slop NFT garbage instead of making, ya know, good decisions.
I replayed AC2 last year after god knows how long (definitely over a dacade), but this time I actually went in with the intent to 100% it. Doing all of the glyph puzzles, reading through the discoveries and watching the short clip compilation you gradually unlock blew me away, it literally gave the game so much depth lore wise. Also, the little wholesome moment you get with your mom when you collect all those pesky feathers was very heartwarming. It's sad to see Ubisoft's current state of affairs, let alone the games they've been putting out.
Brotherhood was the height of AC story and world, Revelations was the peak of AC gameplay. Those are the best two games in the whole caboodle. The China spinoff platformer was also pretty awesome and very memorable. Way more memorable than anything since AC 3..
Black Flag, Stick of Truth, Watch Dogs 2, Fractured But Whole. Agree with the sentiment that they haven't made great games in a while but your timeframe is a bit long.
Idk I heard the Prince of Persia game they released this year was really good, despite underperforming. I'm comfortable with that being Ubisoft's final ever good game if that's the case.
Dumbing Rayman 4 down to a bland minigame collection to make the Wii launch was the beginning of the end. Making Assassin's Creed an annual franchise after 2009 was the point of no return and it's just been a long, slow, but steady decline from there.
you are 100% right about that. AC was really good back in the good old days. but today we see a completely different game. They just do the minimum to be somehow close to the old times or something like that and Obisoft then thinks, oh yeah, people will buy it because it's AC and nostalgia will bring people back to the game. even if it is done absolutely badly, for example AC Japan. Sorry, I can't remember the name and I'm too lazy to research it.
I just was playing assassins creed 3 for the first time today, i closed the game, opened youtube and saw the first thing in my notifications was an ubisoft video from mutahar. What are the odds???
I think im just so sick of ubisoft serving the same slop with every game they do now and never evolving or changing the formula. every open world game they release comes with 3 or 4 pieces of side content thats been copy and paste 100 times and scattered across the map, it gets old very quick and very fast and gets really exhausting. Unless these guys start innovating, they arent gonna be around very long and im not talking about chasing a nft game 🤦♂️

If they made the maps much much smaller, then it wouldn't be as bad. These games should be the size of AC black flag at most, and that was a navel game.
Or these games just shouldn't be open world at all, that'd be nice.
That's the worst thing about their games to me as far as gameplay and enjoyment goes. None of it is unique in any way anymore, it's all the same mundane tasks over and over again.
This is also one of the complaints levied against Elden Ring too.

Of course, the difference is FromSoft tried to make as much unique content as they could and ended up having to reuse stuff to fill out a world. While Ubisoft seems to be content with the first 5 things they think of copy/pasted ad nauseum.
Cyberpunk did side missions so well I never wanted to meet hanako lol
The irony is that that was the main problem with AC1 - sloppy repetitive side quests. The next couple of games made the side quests more meaningful, and now with the massive open worlds the quality of the side quests have gone backwards
In 2009, a "Ubisoft Game" could be Assassin's Creed 2, an open-world action game with social stealth, Anno 1404, a city building game, HAWX, an arcade dogfighter, World in Conflict, a Real-time strategy game, Rabbids Go Home, a puzzle/ platformer, Avatar: the video game, a crappy third-person shooter, or a number of DS exclusive fashion games.
In 2024, everyone knows exactly what the game is like the second you say it's a "Ubisoft game." They stopped diversifying, and it destroyed them.
Ubisoft during 2000s till 2015 were the goat of the industry.

Chaos Theory was a game a decade ahead of its time, if not more. I still to this day still play the first three games as they are timeless (barring maybe the graphics). Gameplay, plot, voice acting, are all phenomenal which very few other game series hold a candle to. It's Ubisoft's greatest sin (in my opinion) ruining this game series.
Ubisoft should get comfortable with gamers not giving them money
They should get comfortable being owned fully by Tencent.

Ubisoft doesn't need to tell us the definition of insanity. They've shown us over the years that they've been doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results (and all the big bucks)
It feels ironic considering that game is one of the most popular games they've ever made.
Technically no. They're actually doing the same thing over and over again expecting the _same_ result; the overwhelming success and market dominance of the past. Unfortunately, that's not how things work anymore. People want innovation in their sixty dollar titles, not NFTs.
I've been calling it for the last few years now, tons of these obvious flop TV shows, games, movies etc are 100% a new age money laundering scheme.
1) Have tons of illegal cash you want to spend
2( Think up and hype up Title X
3) Claim Title X costs 200 million to make
4) Spend only 2 million on the actual production of Title X
5) Pocket all your new found leftover cash and don't care if Title X flops or not. If you squeeze out a polished turd that actually sells half decently then it's just icing on the cake.
Now we just need to wait and see if they'll actually dump some cash into a rebound strategy to keep the scheme going before the company goes under or if everyone who did care is long gone and all the current shareholders are so stacked with cash cows that they don't care if just one falls over dead.

Those AC2 conspiracy theory things had me absolutely fucking hooked to the game when i was like what, 10 years old?
Its crazy how much of a turd Ubisoft has become now.
Yves Guillimot should get used to not owning his company.
The best "not owning" joke out of the literal biblical flood of these jokes. Factors in the scumbag who said that in the first place.
22:40 actually, no, Tencent cannot help them as the French government placed a law where businesses cannot be purchased by outside of country places. Because Ubisoft is still located in France, they cannot do anything about it and unless another French giant buys them, it's over for Ubisoft.
I still remember playing Assassin's Creed 2 and unlocking the Adam and Eve video, it was one of those OMG moments that games rarely have anymore.
Assassins Creed.
Doom eternal was an insane sequel. It improved on doom 2016 a ton. Sequels that surpass the original are so rare.
Eternal has the superior gameplay but they took away arcade mode and the map editor for that battle mode or whatever the fuck they called it.
@@trippybruh1592 Id released idStudio SDK to the public half a year ago.
The optimistic part of me hopes beyond rationality that AC: Shadows flops so hard it pounds the final nail into Ubisoft's coffin with the force of a nuclear piledriver.
The realistic part of me says that AC: Shadows will single-handedly bring Ubisoft back from the brink of the abyss, no matter how bad and/or microtransaction-laden it is, because the typical gaming consumer lacks basic self control and mindlessly throws money at anything with a familiar name slapped on it, no matter how many times such behavior has burned them before.
Star Wars Outlaws shows that there is hope yet. The gaslighting campaign failed when the game was delayed, it can fail again.
I'll be honest here. I'm probably one of the real minority, but I come from the perspective of knowing exactly how bad things have gotten, yet continuing to purchase Assassin's Creed titles. The first one came out when I was 7 or 8 years old and I've been hooked on them ever since. The series has taken a real down turn, yet I can't help but continuing to purchase the main line AC titles. Not out of support for the series, but I guess to feed my inner child. I know exactly how badly I'm wasting my hard earned money, playing lackluster games with below average story telling. If Shadows is the last ever Assassin's Creed game, then that's where it ends.
@@VanillaBourbonya know you could just buy them used
I think you're kind of on-point with your realistic part but I disagree about the type of gaming consumer lacking basic control. It's more likely content producers like youtubers and streamers that will pre-order those games so they can play them day 1 and put out those first videos or those first guides before a regular consumer picks them up. They will also likely be getting those collectors editions to review them and make another buck out of the video. Even for a publisher like Ubisoft that is going under, the content producers are the new whales that game publishers now rely on for their earliest sales.
Nah Tencent have them now
Another sad loss with Ubisoft is the 'Silent Hunter' series (which is a U-boat/Sub sim) which was made during Ubisoft's golden age, the last Silent Hunter game being released in 2010.
Ngl kinda sad for me since I love assassins creed but they’ve fucked over every franchise they’ve made and has made so many bad games so at the same time I’m happy
I think they should give away their properties so other companies can try to fix these franchises
Realistically it ended after Assassin Creed 4 and Desmond no longer being apart of the story.
Honestly if you love Assassin's Creed, Ubisoft losing control over it is probably the best thing for it.
@@unc54 yeah I know just… kinda sucks knowing the series could end but they did this to themselves…
I joined Ubisoft in 2008 (Casablanca Studio closed in 2016), I was in heaven, Assassin's Creed was the big thing back then

I also adore Assassin's Creed II, my favorite of them all
Wait WHAT?? Ubisoft had a studio in Morroco too?? Thats crazy, had no idea
Yes @@heyjeySigma ! it did exist from 1999 to 2016! It mainly did ports to N64, PS2, and later some versions of POP, Rayman, Rabbids and other IPs

Ubislop betting everything on NFTs is hilarious

The downfall of Ubisoft, made I like others continue the declining developer and Persona 5 Palace Owner comparison. Here’s my take:
Activision-Blizzard(sexual abuse of their employees, the suicide of a female employee, the hypocrisy surrounding Blizzard’s firing of Quinton Flynn, resulting with karma from California’s government) - Kamoshida
Take-Two Interactive(the CEO, Strauss Zelwick’s origin as a corrupt Wall Street executive, whom many from New York’s financial district call 'The Devil', and was responsible for butchering the beloved Rockstar Games after acquiring them) - Madarame
Electronic Arts(their greed made them a meme amongst gamers) - Kaneshiro
Capcom(between 2011-2016, though redeemed since 2017) - Futaba
Konami(from 2015, such as the mistreatment/firing of Hideo Kojima, and the infamous Nikkei Report, where the company’s employees were treated as slaves) - Okumura
Sega(created Sonic the Hedgehog as revenge against Nintendo, however a ton of in-fighting between the company’s North American and Japanese divisions lead to the Saturn and 32X’s failure. The Dreamcast’s flop and overshadowing by the PS2 nearly caused Sega to go out of business, and they were solely responsible for Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric becoming some of the worst games ever made, primarily due to executive meddling) - Sae
Ubisoft(suffered the worst outcome by milking Assassin’s Creed and Just Dance, sending their mascot Rayman to benchwarm for the Rabbids and aforementioned two cashcows, joined the NFT craze late, and treated their employees like shit) - Shido
Atari(the lack of quality control on the 2600 lead to the fabled 'video game crash of 1983', and despite the Jaguar being a success, its expansion the Jaguar CD wasn’t due to many hardware failures proven by a friend of James Rolfe aka the Angry Video Game Nerd, Atari was also responsible for terrible decisions, which caused Humongous Entertainment and other developers they acquired to be left for dead, and Atari themselves to eventually fold in 2013) - Maruki

Splinter Cell too tbh
Just the entirety of Tom Clancy honestly.
@ ik some company out there can reboot these titles (im specifically talking abt ac rn) and make sure they are GOOD. no way the biggest arc of ur game ended in a book nobody bought
And Watch_Dogs. That series had so much potential, Ubisoft did NOT have the right direction at all.
@ i forgot abt watch dogs it was SOOO good, i honestly think they didnt know what to do with it. Shouldve js been an Aiden trilogy and maybe ended off with the DLC in Legion, Watch Dogs 2 couldve been a spinoff series where TBone led a new group and thats how we got introduced to Marcus’ group (since he’s dedsec and Aiden js a fixer)
How about give it back Patrice, the creator of AC that they fired just to steal his IP and milk it.
Patrolling the Mojave Wasteland almost makes you wish for a Nuclear Winter.
It's true. When I was a little shit, some twenty plus years ago, Ubisoft made it their point to only publish exceptional quality and innovation. Back then, the rainbow lined "Ubi Soft" logo and later the purple swirl never failed to get me excited. Times sure do like to change.

7:20 Modern Ubisoft: *Drops a black guy in Feudal Japan with a rap music score*

R.I.P. to Ubisoft man, so many great titles and IP's, some of my favorites:
- Farcry 2 & 3
- Assassins Creed: 2 & IV: Black Flag
- Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2
- Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: 1 & Chaos Theory (I didn't enjoy Pandora Tomorrow, sorry)
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2
- Tom Clancy's The Division 1
I've played and tried a lot of their more modern titles, but none of them stack up to these juggernauts.
Watchdogs 1-2 were my favs and then they ruined it with 3,The second one arguably had more stuff than GTA 5.
"Having more stuff" has never been a problem to Ubisoft. They've mastered the craft of having a lot of padding in their games that isn't fun in the slightest and in the end amounts to nothing.
I loved AC3 and its nuanced take on the revolution.
wow haven't played Watch Dogs 1 at least
I grew up on SC: Chaos Theory, GR: Island Thunder + Jungle Storm and R6 Black Arrow alongside TimeSplitters Future Perfect, Burnout and Halo.
They tell us to be confortable not owning our games. We tell them get confortable not having customers
It hurts just because they did make some of the best games of my teenagehood. So many hours on far cry 3 and even the crew at one time. I miss those days.
At the time, Far Cry 3 was probably my absolute favorite game coupled together with Black ops 2. They were my most played games back then, BlOps2 wins out on hours played though for sure
Far cry 3 sucked lmao, every game ubislop has made is trash.
Rockstar will always be better
I don't have a lot of experience with Rockstar but every Farcry game is better than every GTA. I like San Andreas as a kid, but those games are just kinda lame to me now. I did play basically all of the GTA series as a kid, but maybe I just grew out of it. I won't play GTA6 probably. Even RDR2 was.. sleep inducing. Honestly, the aiming system used in those games is terrible, that is a major reason I don't like rockstar games. I also prefer Battlefield to COD.
You can get extra conspiratorial with this and say that with the popularity of Assassin's Creed II and the conspiracies and overall theme within were seen as a problem and reeled in so that by the third game it had seemingly lost its way, not by accident but on purpose because they were hitting too close to the mark
cherry on top is that their logo is a turd from a top down perspective
I literally always thought it was a flushing toilet lmao
I doubt that "THE TEAM" is still there. Any creative motivated people would leave such company...
When I was a teenager playing AC2 I wanted to be a game dev. And I wanted to work at Ubisoft. Now... I feel like my younger self would be very upset with me, but I just don't care anymore. They have earned this death. They squandered any goodwill I had for them several times over, over the course of a decade or more. And it sucks, because they really did have something special going on there for a while.
27:59 Just to clarify, the $3.3k number is what 1 ETH is worth in USD. 0.274 is, at the time of writing this comment, 919.34$. If he had scrolled down a bit more he would've seen the conversion of the number he typed in the search bar. Not sure why Google display it like this, but they do.
The only surprising thing modern Ubisoft dying is that Bioware will outlast them.
In name only really. And ubisoft will probably survive the same way.
Bioware is surviving because, whether this is general knowledge or not, the average game dev in Canada is paid roughly 75k per year whereas an American one is paid around 98k yearly. This is coupled with Bioware also being a grant recipient from several Federal and Provincial grant programs in Canada. So really Bioware is surviving on paying their devs less and being bailed by the government.
I'm non-buy-nary on Ubisoft, EA and Obsidian now.
It’s sad that indie developers make better looking games than Ubisoft.
Better playing, better selling, better monetarily.
With basic common sense it ain't a high bar to clear in the slightest.
Nah it's actually from soft better games than ubisoft
That's not sad that's a good thing.
Miss the good ol days with Rayman 1 and 2 the new Rayman is bizzare.
If so, I can't force myself to shed one single tear for them. Not after what they did to the Petz-Series.
I'll consider Ubisoft done when they go out of business.
Until then, they're very much not done and are still very much helping poisoning the well. And even when they go out of business, just knowing people who speak on Ubisoft's behalf and have a say in their decisions are free to move onto other companies in the industry doesn't particularly fill me with hope for the future.
So sad watching your favorite studios and ip’s get sacrificed. Thank god for the East is all I can say. Currently playing through the yakuza games. So good.

I seem to remember after the Ghost Recon Breakpoint debacle, Ubisoft delayed all their games in the pipeline to reorient their strategy. It’s five years later and nothing has changed. What were they doing during the pause, playing with themselves?
The only Ubisoft game I enjoyed recently was Anno 1800 and GR: Wildlands. Other than that, everything else are utterly garbage.
They pretty much lost their identity as a respected gaming company and alienated their audience.
I tried Star Wars Outlaws, and after the first hour, the realization sunk in that it was a Ubisoft game. Checklist and all.

Ubisoft used to make interesting games. Fun games. From the old days of PC gaming with POD, the PlayStation era with Driver and the 360 era with Assassin's Creed. Far Cry 3 was where I think Ubisoft started to lose it. Not to say it was a terrible game, it was brilliant, but that game seemed to turn Ubi's way of developing, if you understand. Now, they're a company willing to throw years of work away with The Crew and make the sloppiest slop NFT garbage instead of making, ya know, good decisions.
I've got $3. Let me buy Ubisoft.
Yeah, but they don't have $1.00 to give you your change back.
@@DarkForce2024 No worries. They can keep that extra dollar. My treat.
I collected all the feathers. Only real Ezio Bros know.
I replayed AC2 last year after god knows how long (definitely over a dacade), but this time I actually went in with the intent to 100% it. Doing all of the glyph puzzles, reading through the discoveries and watching the short clip compilation you gradually unlock blew me away, it literally gave the game so much depth lore wise. Also, the little wholesome moment you get with your mom when you collect all those pesky feathers was very heartwarming. It's sad to see Ubisoft's current state of affairs, let alone the games they've been putting out.
Brotherhood was the height of AC story and world, Revelations was the peak of AC gameplay. Those are the best two games in the whole caboodle.
The China spinoff platformer was also pretty awesome and very memorable. Way more memorable than anything since AC 3..
Ubisoft's last amazing game was Rayman Legends, that was 11 years ago.
Frfr
That was the first and only ubisoft game i have played, and probably wont buy from them again unless there is another 2d rayman
Black Flag, Stick of Truth, Watch Dogs 2, Fractured But Whole.
Agree with the sentiment that they haven't made great games in a while but your timeframe is a bit long.
Idk I heard the Prince of Persia game they released this year was really good, despite underperforming.
I'm comfortable with that being Ubisoft's final ever good game if that's the case.
@@LegionOfEclaires Stick of Truth was developed by obsidian and only published by ubi. Still absolutely right tho i love SP TFBW.
Dumbing Rayman 4 down to a bland minigame collection to make the Wii launch was the beginning of the end.

you are 100% right about that. AC was really good back in the good old days. but today we see a completely different game. They just do the minimum to be somehow close to the old times or something like that and Obisoft then thinks, oh yeah, people will buy it because it's AC and nostalgia will bring people back to the game. even if it is done absolutely badly, for example AC Japan. Sorry, I can't remember the name and I'm too lazy to research it.
I just was playing assassins creed 3 for the first time today, i closed the game, opened youtube and saw the first thing in my notifications was an ubisoft video from mutahar. What are the odds???

The assassins vs the templars explains a lot with modern day Luigi, thanks for clearing that up!
Ubisoft committed seppuku assassins creed "DEI". Can't go back.
I think im just so sick of ubisoft serving the same slop with every game they do now and never evolving or changing the formula. every open world game they release comes with 3 or 4 pieces of side content thats been copy and paste 100 times and scattered across the map, it gets old very quick and very fast and gets really exhausting.
Unless these guys start innovating, they arent gonna be around very long and im not talking about chasing a nft game 🤦♂️
Ezio is peak Ubisoft.. I don't understand why they don't just do remakes
As a side note I would love to see a remake of Altair’s story. Knowing Ubisoft though they’d absolutely fuck it up somehow.
