Taking your time in games - Ubisoft article with Paris Studios game designer | Forums

Well I've been saying that since the begining, as many of us did and still do, while arguing how bad a choice for a setting Auroa was.
I'm firmly in the "there's no such thing as a bad idea; there's only bad execution" camp, however, there are optimum and less optimum ways to go about things; and as with MANY other aspects, BP choose the later.
For a SOF unit such as the Ghosts, establishing relations with the local population, training and developing alliances is quite important, hell, I as a player need to at least empathize with the plight and human tragedy that the target nation's population is going through.
DE OPPRESSO LIBER and all that

I am sorry but this is no way resemble or has any semblance of a GR game, this could have been a really god Far cry game, more believable because now you have a military guy involved and not a hippie wannable warrior, but, even Far Cry is more tactical and has better enemies than BP, Heavies do more damage and take damage, you can kill them with your knife, here you can't but then again, a turret or rocket can't either. Pirates had more motion and skills to shoot back at you, they did not all came in a funnel-like to try to get you while screaming that they had see you but yet, not shooting a single shot.

You could argue that Far Cry didn't have Wolves but, SO WHAT!!!! what really are Wolves? thugs that can eat and shrug bullets but yield a lot of damage, and then there is also the funnel-like method so there is that.

Ubi ca Preach, defend and explain all they want but this game is so far away from GR that even those who have never played a GR game know it. On the other hand, it has been so watered down that how can you explain to them why that is. Everyone has a stake in claiming that it is a GR game because all the Genres are mixed within 1 Genre. All this article is good for is for toilet paper now that TP is so scarce. I'll praise it when they show me the money with something tangible and not more talk crap, talk is cheap, well, ok, WORDS, words are also cheap if the outcome is the same as before.

Ubi complete lack of basic understanding of game industry is laughable
Average gamer age is 35, that means there is a large group of players 35+
Ubi seems that this info is a revelation on their part, really so you make games not knowing your target audience?
More bs from these guys, you made a awful game based on idiotic ideas.
No tactical shooter should ever have a grind mechanic for gear, period I can not stress that lil tidbit enough
You want gear grinding play TD2, it should never be part of a tactical shooter
Pvp should be completely separate from pve, that way the pc crowd can cheat themselves into oblivion
Battle royale another concept that the minority of players DO NOT want, target audience is 35+ not 14
To date nothing comes close to sniper elite series, no loot, no grind, no magic fluff
Unless update is an about face like many here done with game, done with ubi Paris
Last of us 2 days away, so whenever if ever update drops I will give it another look
Like ubi my interest is nominal, they can not be bothered nor should i

I never pre-order anything and when it comes to Ubi, I never bought at launch, I normally waited months before doing so, the only way I bought BP was because I couldn't pass up the 9.79 deal for it and because I wasn't giving the money to Ubi per say. Now though, with this fiasco, I don't care how good one of their games is, well, really I only have Far Cry as another game I would be interested on since they already ruined R6 for me, but I digress, at this point I would stay away, very far away from any of their games until I am sure enough that the game is all that is cracked up to be.

I say this because I have a funny feeling they will be spending more money in marketing to try to get, well, bamboozle really, people into buying their games because they have learn their lesson, blah, blah, blah. Again, they are going to have to show me the money (so to speak).

I really hope they learn from this for future games and I even hope they can somehow turn BP into something decent, but I think I’d also stay away from any future releases, until I know exactly what I’m getting, not what they tell me I’m getting.

I have been reading this with interest. I personally have no interest in playing multi-player in pretty much any game. I am something of an old man and just don't have the reflexes of a much younger me. So in order to make this interesting I end up repeatedly challenging the same places at increasing difficulty levels, but with different methodology. Taking the time to study what the guards do and where blind spots are. It makes the pace much too slow for a lot of people I suppose, but I like to pop off a sniper round into a Wolves camp and disappear while they search for me. Only to sneak up on the other side of the camp in few minutes. Often, by the time I actually enter a facility or target, there isn't a single enemy left alive.

I’m in my 30s but have never played multiplayer and never will. I enjoy single player games. When Ubisoft made rainbow 6, multiplayer only they probably lost quite a few players.

There does seem to be a rise of SP games again though thank goodness.
