Ubisoft is no longer punching with the big boys.. | Forums

Watch Dogs taught me precious lessons about ubi's marketing policy.

But I do like R6. I played the beta and bought it on the 1st week of release. Yes, at the moment I won't dare compare ubi with from software or rockstar, but these personal "rankings" are all but ephemeral.

You just need to remain cautious, give time to time, do some research on interwebz and be open to experimenting yourself new titles, regardless the developer or publisher. Eventually you'll become immune to hype like the one this The Division is raising.

A good game always entertains you. What others talk about it is ignorable while that remains true.

One thing I don't do is watch an E3 trailer and base the game off them anymore. Every company makes """"""game play"""""" trailers and they are just movies but I also don't sit there and complain about a game I bought and didn't like. Take Witcher 3 I played an hour on that game and hated it. But it was my fault because I didn't look it up (game play, style, story) before I bought it. Cost me 60 bucks and a drive back to GameStop to trade it in. There is plenty of info on games before the game even comes out. People are just to lazy any more to look stuff up before it comes out. I honestly can't tell you one company that when I hear they are making a game I get excited about. Only game I would pre-order the second I hear about it would be MW and MW2 remastered. Any other company ether has messed up a good game trying to give people what they want or stop making a game because they are afraid to offend people and don't want to hurt their feelings. People complain about the bugs in the game. No game is perfect. Back when Halo was good there were glitches and people used them and made custom games based off them not sit there and complain how it was a game breaker. I mean IDK how much more game breaking you could get when you could get the platform the sword was on to disappear.

Ifi ever get the bug again to be convinced Hitman is going in the right direction (unlike "ppl", lol, i DO research into games, even if they have a Great reputation... i won't take them for granted.)... i will pickup the self-titled Hitman which has an amazing but mysetious trailer, and geez, i can't even remember when the release date is. the graphics were phenominal in Hitman: Asbolution, but the game-loop was far from perfect, where being a disguised "member" of any group or ogrganisation was supposed to be "hiding in plain sight" which worked a little, the game was only enjoyable on Easy difficulty because of this broken mechanism...

a long, painful time it was to complete that game and getting all achievements, for me, was not worth the time revisiting a game that plays through the same linear way, though multiple approaches to any given situation were there, once those have been discovered it isn't so novel anymore, and the Contracts Section of the game had much more replayability... picking out any 1-3 NPC's and assasinating them any way you want, with any weapon or none at all (fibre-wire is mandatory for a kill, else you "subdue" the victim in a chokehold and it doesn't count except as a timer trigger).

throughout my life i've seen enough death to realize the value of life, so why would i still play R6, should be obvious, CTU Ops is a major reason i get to sleep at night and wake up to breakfast and coffee in the morning, if you can't appreciate that, i don't know why you can't?

Your first sentence already separates you from the rest, haha. I have convinced myself to wait before buying a new game. I cancelled my preorder for the Division simply because i know that game will be a buggy mess. Luckily I enjoy the forums here for R6 so I'll be preoccupied until things get ironed out over at the Division. Something about that game gave me a bad feeling, perhaps it was the beta being pretty lackluster, you know? I just don't want to invest any more time into something that won't pay off.

See I played the open and closed betas of The Division and didn't have an issues that people are complaining about but also I just didn't shoot with out knowing what I was shooting at before I did it. To many people don't realize that its an RPG

I played both as well, although I am not aware of any issues people are supposedly complaining about? Just for me, I did not see anything that was interesting enough to warrant shelling out time and money for. It seems..boring honestly. The best parts were the DZ zones but combat was simply point and shoot...with no variables in between.

I would have been sold if there were more options like hunkering down in an abandoned building...shooting through windows of apartment flats. Zone control, capture the player carrying a certain item...like a vaccine or something. All it is essentially is stealing from other players, looting corpses...it just isn't fun for me.

Can someone make a tl;dr of the OP? Really don't want to read stories on "general discussion" forum.

Between Siege and Primal Ubisoft have ruined their good name. .

Where have you been the past 8 years and how on earth have you not played Far Cry 3 which was insanely better than 4 which was a reskinned 3 but with a much worse story, Much worse map and much worse characters.

Splinter Cell Blacklist is a hell of a ride, multiplayer is decent, though not as serious as core-fans wanted it, but the choices of gameplay in Campaign Story are stellar.

Far cry 3 was way better than FC4, (SPOILER) at the end I felt like Pagan was the lesser of all the evils.
