As much as I would be happy for Ubisoft to have a success, they really need one, I just don’t trust unverifiable number. I always want to know metrics and data.
Ubisoft can tell us everything. And what does 2 million players really mean? How many of them refunded the game in the 2h at Steam for example? How many are players who, for an hour or two, looked into the game as part of their Ubisoft gamepass equivalent? 2 million players can mean all kind of things. It doesn’t say much really about the success.
That’s fun, conservative friend of mine told me just this morning about how it was a huge failure with a ridiculous amount of simultaneous players.
Kinda surprised it’s not terrible tbh. Was expecting them to screw it up somehow.
Yeah, I’m surprised Ubisoft can make a half decent game.
Spent all day playing it . It’s great.
Ignore the YouTubers trying to feed off anti Ubisoft vibes. It’s a very beautiful and epic journey, involving slick stealth and very decent combat in Feudal Japan.
Like a juiced Odyssey really, so if that’s your jam, don’t hesitate.
Is it RPGy like odyssey or is it like the old games where your knife would kill anyone?
It’s very like odyssey.
I thought this was a crippling failure because it was woke or something?
Yeah they put a black samurai in it. Of course the screeching ggamers were screeching about “historical accuracy “…… and then of course there was a story about a black samurai …. So they had to shut up
Well, considering Japan itself is saying that the game is disrespectful… Looks more like Ubisoft wanted to help themselves to a nice slice of tokenism. Corporations are going to corporate.
On the contrary. The word on the conservative circles is how awful the game is and how it doesn’t compare.
I’m serious. They’re not shutting up about it (and if you think that’s happening you’re in a bubble). The actual discussion point is that this game is a failure.
It’s a failure because it’s trash. The game is honestly laughably bad.
So I wonder where all the players come from.
Did you play it?
I don’t spend money so loosely like that. Ubisoft is no longer trustworthy, so no.
Instead, I watched gameplay from it, which tells me everything I need to know. Helps with avoiding wasting money on mediocre AAAA releases.
players, not sales. big difference
I got excited after hearing how much people love this one, I usually play every ~5 or so they release and just pick out the best, but sadly the performance was so bad I had to refund it. I have a bit better than the minimum specs on steam (and the minimum specs are a ryzen 5 and gtx 1070, shouldn’t this be the standard target?) and ran everything at low, 1080p, and couldn’t get past 15fps.
There are better looking games from ~5-10 years ago I can run at 1440p or even 4k 60fps on high settings, I wish game studios would stop trying to go for the most intensive possible graphics effects with how diminished the returns are for it.
Ever AC since black flag was terrible in my opinion, with the exception of Valhalla, which was a shit AC, but a damn fun brawler. So I don’t put a lot of faith into this one.
Valhalla was shit too. Raiding a place? Couldn’t even kill innocents. Didn’t they do any research into vikings? They struck gold with black flag, the rest was all shit and massive bug simulators.
Valhalla combat was very fun. Raiding a place with your viking troop did feel really good.
Such a basic ass response and let’s be honest, black flag? It’s not that great, it was just a cool pirate fantasy, shite AC game. AC origins, mirage and unity were infinitely better than black flag as ac games
Oh yeah, should’ve said that. AC wasn’t a good AC, but a great game, unlike everything that followed it except valhalla.
