Ewww Ubisoft shills, thats worst than all others shills combined imo... FUCK UPLAY
>>
I've got some friends who played it, and they've all quit. From watching them play it, it looks like the most boring game fucking ever. A stiff Uncharted-esque third-person shooter that revolves around filling little progression bars instead of a story.

I'm hoping the average person is starting to realize these games fucking suck.

Rayman Legends was okay
I heard Child of light was too but I haven't played it yet

>>340748249
Rainbow Six Siege

>>340748403

It's standard Ubisoft formula.

Massive open area, enemies in sparse amounts between areas, set-piece missions with lots of wow factor, collectibles out the ass, and a slightly less tacked on multiplayer mode.

Didn't help Division has bullet sponge enemies and is fond of making you around 7x squisher than the average enemy. Shotgun scouts are legitimately annoying shit and bosses boil down to wars of attrition (where you always have the advantage because of sticky bomb cooldowns).

I hope no-one falls for Watchdogs 2.

>>340748552

I recently finished Child of Light on Vita. Steam apparently requires you to have Uplay as well so keep that in mind.

It's alright leaning towards good. A bit too easy and the story is shit. It's short but the music is okay (and the music gets old fast). Also really short.

Literally, the only good Ubisoft title released within the last few years has been Siege, and even then, that was a fluke. Especially considering what was originally intended to be that Rainbow Six game.

It's your fucking fault. There is a point where it's shame on publishers for tricking you. But then there is the utter retardation of buying the games from the same publisher that fucks you over and over again. You deserve it. Don't come to 4chan and whine that Ubishit lied to you.

It launched with mediocre game play and no end game. The dev promised it wouldn't ALL be DLC and still didn't deliver in a timely manner. Ubi failed to stop cheaters in any meaningful way for a long time, but took the effort to nerf grind assists into the ground.

When word got out that the developers made engine design mistakes that should have never left the 90's, it was the final nail in the coffin for this game.

I got my money's worth out of it when it come out during a dead release period, but hell if I'm going to pick it up again.

I play it, and would like to see it become something better. A few things they should consider:
>improving boss encounters to more than just lobbing grenades and ad waves
>balance weapons(which is coming)
>add a lot more talents and skills to promote build diversity
>add more armor sets
>encourage players to build towards tanking, healing and supporting, instead of having everyone wear 4/3 sent-striker sets, with 300k toughness
>make light zone the same as dark zone where you have everyone out in the world(keep dark zone pvp)
>add more incursions and include some that are 8 player
>add more named elites out in the world
>add random pockets of 32-34 elites in the light zone
>add more perks to join dark zone without making light zone feel like a waste of time
>stash space increase to 150(also coming)
>fix AI to behave more "strategic" with their attacks
>fix RNG so it's not just lonestar, lonestar, lonestar
>make it a lot easier to find players to group with(think of rift with the way it ask if you want to group up when near an event)
>make gun talents better so that people aren't just looking for god-rolls
>make dark zone fully pvp by making everyone rogue the second they enter
>fix the vendor since phoenix credits are a waste of currency at the moment
>give a JTF system that lets us hire bodyguards to accompany us on tougher missions
>remove gearscore and replace with color system that lets the group know if a person has a good amount of toughness and damage(filter out idiots with 220+ GS that dump everything in firearms and have less than 100k toughness. my current GS is 208 and I'm constantly having to pick up 220+ idiots that clearly don't have enough armor to be in incursions)

game needs a lot of fixing. I was hoping the DLC would come a lot later, but we'll see if things change for the better later this month.

A friend of mine recently got banned from the game. He didn't even hack because I know he'd never do that, simply put he's too stupid for it. He had a long discussion with the support and in the end the result was:
>we don't know why you were banned in the first place, there are no informations other than "this guy is banned"
>we can't give you reasons why we won't unban you, that's classified
>please stop your illegal activities

Only now are Ubishit throwing the ban hammer at them all after seeing what Blizz did with OW and how people then bought second copies only to find they're banned on them too. Ubishit probably thought "might as well ban these cheaters now they might go out and buy a 2nd copy"

It was at least decent when it launched, then they got super butt hurt no one used dark zone, and reccent patches nerfed the single player grind into the ground to force players into the Dark Zone. The Dark Zone has High Risk and Low rewards for no reason and all npc enemies are super elites that dropped nothing.

I bought this game and will honestly admit that I made a huge mistake.

Huge grindfest with no endgame or purpose. All weapons play basically the same. Getting more gear just means you get to see bigger numbers.

I haven't played recently, but in the early life of the game, you literally had to exploit farm the same bosses for hours to avoid falling behind the gear curve. I literally just said fuck it and quit.

Yes.
AC1, AC3 and Unity all play exactly the same.

I mean, someone who didnt play them sure would say that.

You obviously didnt.
Gameplay is similar but improved and new stuff is added in each one.

And what if its similar?

Same goes for Dark Souls, i dont see anyone complaining, neither do i.

Sales in the first week/few days don't matter. What matters is the sales during the course if it's lifetime. That's how we know if the public likes it or not.

If AC was not intended to be a story driven game then what's it supposed to be? I know it's been so long since any of them have been good but try to remember when you actually cared about the characters and the plot.

Dark Souls is selling much more consistently that watch dogs. WD sells 3.5 mil in the first year. Second year it sells 0.5 mil. In the second year it sold 7x less than the first. Dark souls 2x less in the second year. And in the third it sold 75% of the second year.
It's not easy to admit you are wrong, i get you. But a real man is able to admit he is wrong.
Also, shut the fuck up with the leddit formatting.

Threw caution to the wind as I wanted to play Destiny but only have a PC and thought Ubisoft would keep at it plus Siege was a pleasant surprise.

Regret the fuck out of it.
>>
It's a decent game but you play it you beat it and your done.

Only incentive to keep playing is so you can collect gear of a better rarity so you can defeat enemies who have more health.
>>
>>340755809
Play Warframe. It's alot better than Destiny and you don't even have to pay a penny and still get the grindy as fuck experience.

Like every rpg and rpgish game before it. Amazing

I'm glad I got this for free with my 980 ti. Such a bad game. Who is this game even for? Literally every mission is the exact same over and over and over.

No, you are retarded.

Souls dropped quickly, meanwhile Watch Dogs was the one that was dropping slowly.

Kill yourself.

>>340755393
AC have always been one step forward, two steps back.

Unity introduced more of the stealth / plan your assassination stuff, then syndicate removed a bunch of them and added a terrible grapple hook that slows the movement down and feels awful to use because of how fucking slow it is and how shit the animation on it is.

Extremely grindy.

Gameplay is fun for a while and getting a feel for the game is neat but after a while it becomes a huge grind.

>min max frames to adoquately cheese certain missions
>run said missions over and over and over for parts to weapons or for selling said parts for plat
>grinding weapons, frames, and so on for a pretty much arbitrary master rank
>do this till you lose interest

If you like grinding games then by all means dive in. Only those with the highest autism will stay. I've hit MR 15 and have enough platinum through trading to buy whatever I want. In my eyes I have already beaten warframe so no need to play.

No content at all. Shitty pvp mode. They should add "battlefields" with capture the flag mode or stronghold.

I swear to god, this was my last paid ubisoft title. I will pirate their shit from nowadays.

I Played revelations 2 and that had the worst RNG Grind in existance

You literally have 0.00000000002% chance to get a rainbow weapon and 0.0000000000000000000003% chance to get it at lvl 100

So im familiar with grinds but holy fuck this game destroyed my patience
>>
>>340747969
I was waiting for this game to go on sale and for ubisoft to add all that content they had planned out but since it's dead I won't bother

I kinda had a feeling it would turn out like this which is why I didn't buy it on day one, I wanted to see if it could survive the test of time. Also it's clear that following treadmill MMO game design was a huge mistake.
>>
>>340753864
>Then they decided that was enough innovation
I honestly don't understand what you were expecting, more boats? Pirating era was literally the only real time outside of going even further into the past where fighting with boats actually made sense. Of course they were going to move away from it, ships eventually just turned mainly into trading supplies, the best you'd get is escorting supplies if you were lucky, unless you expected the feature of sailing everywhere to still exist but without any of the battles.

If they go too far into the past they're now forced to remove features(Guns) and come up with even more farfetched weapons that fit the era but died off quickly and were never heard from again.

Honestly, them going back to basics with Unity was just fine, they improved everything about the stealth system, they actually made fights something to be feared(At least for most of the early and middle game), the customization options were enormous, they improved how you can parkour, and missions themselves were way more varied and free. They only dropped the ball on it being glitchier than the rest of the games and having a story that was on par with Liberations with how awful it was.

>Set goal of buying a thing you want

I also feel the devs disregarded the concept of less is more. They flood the game with so much shit. Multiple color palettes with some where you have to spend platinum on? Really?
>>
>>340757458
i dont know the game yet, what is platinum? microtransactions? and can it be earned through normal means?
>>
Eh, its not as bad as people say, I'm just waiting for the DLCs to come out before I play again.

>>340757584
Platinum is the purchasable currency. It can be bought with money or it can be traded in game without having to spend money.

It is used to buy fully made weapons, frames, exp boosters, colors and other stuff on the market place. It basically helps subvert the grind by giving you what you want instantly.
>>
>>340757584
It can, there are certain missions that drop parts for "prime" weapons, the whole meta revolves around those loot tables, some missions also give mods.
So you go into said missions, grind for the specific thing you are looking for, go to a relay or use warframe market to sell it for cash.
Rince and repeat

Thanks mate

>>340758026
So basically the community uses platinum as the main trading currency.

So lets say there is a "prime" weapon you want and have some spare platinum you can trade your platinum for their parts and vise versa. There are other items that sell for platinum in the commuity but I am just using prime parts as an example.

You in no way ever need to purchase platinum wih money and you can aquire everyhing in game by grinding and trading, plus it extends the game. I hae only payed about 10-20 bucks in my entire time playing.
>>
>>340758589
Great. i have a long history of playing grindy games so this is no exception

Thanks

>Literally improves on everything that AC1 and 2 brought to the table
>Removed all the stuff that made it too easy like chain kills, instant kills(Unless it's a pistol headshot that immediately alerts the guards since you're shooting someone with a pistol), lowered the amount of darts you can carry and made them expensive and rare to procure so you can't just spam them since money is tougher to get as well even with all the building bought.
>Climbing is infinitely better and allows you to choose how you want to climb things(Same level, above, or lower) though their "sticking" when running is still there sadly but that's due to the way the parkour system works in general.
>Fighting now requires you to actually pay attention to your surroundings since multiple enemies can now ready their guns, you can't block bullets with other people so you have to do your ballet of countering, enemies like the agile types are merciless, and it's generally a lot tougher to kill enemies without spamming 5+ smoke bombs an encounter.
>Stealth is completely revamped and you're expected to go into every encounter while hidden in the shadows, extremely careful, and picking people off one by one since just running in completely yolo-like ends up with you dead due to dealing with 15+ enemies plus reinforcements that is tough to deal even with the greatest equipment in the game.

The only argument anyone has against Unity is the story and its characters being awful, mechanically it is the superior AC game when it comes to gameplay even if it doesn't have the ship gameplay that wouldn't even make sense to have in that timeframe and in that area. It does still have bugs, and being able to use stuff like Disguise outside of co-op takes away from the immersion at times, but in general it's a complete improvement and I'd love to hear how it isn't from a gameplay perspective since we all know Arno & Pals are shit to begin with.
