This game had the potential to be one of the greatest games made in this genre ever.... and you dropped the ball so hard you could hear the hearts of the entire gaming community shatter as it happened.
So everyone has been talking and complaining and SCREAMING at Ubisoft about the poor release here with For Honor, and the poor balance and the absolutely atrocious servers since release; and ACTUALLY as a tester for most of last year; I can personally tell you that we had been complaining about those VERY THINGS for literally the entire testing period.
Well Ubi, you have maintained strict silence and have not talked about any of these things openly with your community. You haven't offered us solutions. You haven't given us a reason for your incompetence. You haven't even apologized to your player base who, some of us, forked over 100 dollars US for the game plus the pass!!!
There has been no compensation for your lies or your failure. There has been NOTHING.
A few weeks ago, I started making a post and updated it every few days regarding your trend in the Steam Market on the Review Section. I predicted you would last a week before your reviews tilted to the negatives more than positives. I was wrong. You lasted two weeks. So, congratulations. This beautiful, hyped, actually wonderfully created game; IS OFFICIALLY REVIEWED BY PLAYERS AS MORE NEGATIVE THAN POSITIVE AS OF TODAY!
Positive: 8079
Negative: 8124
FOR A 100 DOLLAR AAA TITLE!?!?!?!?! YOU ARE THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER SEEN IN THE FACE OF THE GAMING INDUSTRY UBISOFT.
You absolutely deserve to be SHUNNED AT EVERY GAMING CONVENTION AND AT EVERY HOLLYWOOD PREMIERE after this time. This was the worst release Ive seen in a while. The lack of attention to detail in the multiplayer process, for a MULTIPLAYER GAME is ASTOUNDING!!!!!!!!!!!
Next E3, you will probably sit up there on stage with a head set on, acting like you are "SO EXCITED TO BE HERE"; and try to tell people about how much you "learned this past year", probably make a little joke about how bad your failure was here, BUT NONE OF US WILL BE LAUGHING. I honestly would prefer it if NONE OF US EVEN SAT TO WATCH YOU LIE TO US.
You'll be apologetic while you get six figure Christmas bonuses, and us people who actually work for a living watched you run away with our cash for a game that MIGHT AS WELL HAVE NEVER BEEN FINISHED AND THEN SOLD TO US!
As a guy who grew up watching games develop since the Sega Base System.... I can officially say Ubisoft; YOU ARE AN EMBARASSMENT. Please leave; the gaming community would be better off without you,
Negative ratings in under a month for a game that DOES NOT deserve the way you treated it. Ill never buy your products again.
And I honestly hope this comes back to bite you hard in the future. This is a sad day for gaming fans.
Bla bla bla , who cares, I love the game and I will keep playing it, that's all I need to know, and I assume thats the same line of thought for people who love the game as well.
I do not even think that negative reviews are there because the game is bad, because I know the game is not bad - I play it every day.
In reality, the negative reviews are given by little whiny biches who had their little feelings hurt and asses torn sideways by the competition in this brutal game.
Face it, this was always destined to be a niche game, and 90% of its population will always be rags for the pros to mop the floor with.
Those who can adapt and thrive within harsh conditions, will keep playing and love the game, those who can't - will go on steam and forums to moan and cry about, perfectly natural.
In reality there is nothing particularly wrong with the game, the only real issue was the GB mechanic different from beta , which was reverted.
And some people say they have P2P issues, but I personaly never seen them in alpha, never seen them in beta, and never seen them on the daily basis, as I have a strong broadband (350mb), and my NAT is green.
Apart those 2 above, every other "issue" is mainly children moaning because they are having difficulty gettin gud
As with many other AAA titles nowadays, the games are released before they are finished. When looking at For Honor, I see a great (really great) core concept and fun design. The balance tweaking and the connectivity hardware are lacking, but it might get fixed in the long run.
Game will be balance.
Investment on hardware will be made ... or playerbase will drop so much it'll put less stress on the servers.
Give it 2 months, this game will be quite good.
P.S. Do you think Witcher III was a great game ?? Do you remember, at release, the character controls were so bad Geralt had a hard time climbing a ladder because he couldn't "turn" to face it. They eventually made a DLC with "alternate character controls" that fixed all the movement issues. So even the greatest companies (CD Project Red) will release unpolished / unfinished games. Give it time ... but I too am getting impatient.
You guys can enjoy hit a s**t with a stick and pay 100 S for it, is your choice. But the connection issues are inacceptable, the classes are unbalanced, maps that not work and removed from the game... the game itself looks like designed to fulfill troll, rat kids darkest desires. Again, its not about if i enjoy the game or not, is a about to sell an unfinished product pretending be a finished one.
Im in high elo and the game is not the problem, ubisoft is, they have more network problems with the netcode than league of legends (and that says A LOT)
I say this as someone that was playing fine in the open beta (no input lag, delay, randoms dcs) and suddenly in the live versions its all the opposite.
Mate youve been moaning on these forums from day 1, give it a rest, the game works fine, video or didnt happenOriginally Posted by Crims0n_Sky Go to original post
the game works fine are you for real?Originally Posted by MassiveD. Go to original post
the game has so many bugs and problems right now, it is unbalanced as hell, just ask any streamer and they will tell you that the game is not working fine as it is right now.
and it is going to take them long time to fix it aswell, hey just look on how it is going for the division over a 1 year and they have still not fixed that game.
