Support NeoGAF

[Canucked]

This was not my year for gaming. I only buy a few games. Every game I wanted to try was a let down. I'm going to end up jaded about purchasing anything. And I somehow went through decades of gaming without getting jaded. I pre-ordered ACU and I have a feeling I'm going to cancel my three currently standing pre-orders.

Exceptions are for the re-releases I got. My favourite games of this year were all from last gen.

 

[Devilgunman]

Fucking bullshit, I hope everyone at ubisoft dies.

You're done man.

 

[shandy706]

I guess the next question now is who's brave enough to do the review thread for this unfortunate train wreak.

Can it be made after the reviews come out.

If it's really as horrid as people are insinuating, I'd love to see the title reflect it too.

Assassin's Creed: Unity | OT | SUCKS

Assassin's Creed: Unity | OT | Trade in your copy NOW

 

[GrazGamer]

I have bought all AC games day 1, and completed all bar Liberation, which I have on PC and Vita.

I got burned with the PC release of Watch Dogs which is only now playable 6 months later.

For the first time I think I am skipping, not because my PC won't run it well, but because I am sick of supporting this bullshit.

 

[Kade]

I'm expecting HipHopGamer to use this as another opportunity to claim that reviewers are passionless people who don't play games for fun and are too critical.

 

[Chobel]

Sigh. I feel guilty for even buying this. I usually try to "wait" for reviews before buying games. I don't want to support bad business practices. I just got trigger happy this week, and got a bunch of digital pre-loads set up. You see, I just beat a year long fight with cancer. And I had my week after my final test set up to...celebrate with a bunch of new games, should I beat it. And I did.

But now I feel bad, because this game runs very poorly. And Ubisoft is pulling some shit that I don't condone or support. I should learn from this company's history.

Because...



Fuck this.

Congratulations man!

 

[Mesoian]

Fucking bullshit, I hope everyone at ubisoft dies.

Stop that. You know better.

 

[jett]

this is BS...

Maybe these people shouldn't have agreed with this particular embargo date.

 

[UrbanRats]

lololol, i remember plenty of this shit in AC3.
Never seen a cutscene without a bug in that game.

 

[Mononoke]

So question, what if all media outlets just agreed to say fuck off to embargos that are past the release date. I mean, it doesn't benefit them in any way. So why would anyone agree to that? I know the reason you normally agree to embargo, is because you have a review copy that you agree to the terms, and you also want to maintain that relationship with the publisher late down the line.

But embargos that are past the actual release of the game? That is absurd.

You beat the cancer Azula!? Congratulations, I've been hoping to hear that! Oh man that makes this thread worth it.

Guys, fuck this game. AZULA BEAT CANCER.

Congratulations man!

Thanks a bunch. I had no family or friends in real life (moved to a new state last year when I got hit with it). GAF was the only thing that got me through. If it wasn't for kind people on here, I would not be here right now. I was ready to give up several times.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

lol WAT

 

[SgtCobra]

Fucking bullshit, I hope everyone at ubisoft dies.

What the hell :lol

 

[ash321]

What the heck is this ? is this in the real game ?

 

[Donos]

SOON

 

[GlamFM]

GOTY right there.

 

[jmdajr]

Hmmmmmn

 

[cyberheater]

Ubi must be in PR panic mode.

 

[adamsapple]

Oh good, new screenshots from PT are finally out.

 

[SmithnCo]

Is this historically accurate

 

[twobear]

With first Destiny and now this, the moral of the story seems to be that review embargos should absolutely be treated with suspicion.

Fuck this.

This is the real news!

Yo get Mordor. And Bayo 2. And Hyrule Warriors. And a bottle of fucking Champaigne dude! That's awesome!

 

[blastprocessor]

I pre-order few games nowadays - always best to wait for gamer feedback and reviews before you spend your hard earned cash.

 

[Kiru]

IT'S NOT A TUMAAAH

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Christ I can't stop laughing at these. I did the same when I messed up a mod on skyrim haha

 

[digoutyoursoul]

He's number one in the industry you know, you should of known better, he's only said it about 12,764 times

 

[BloodMoney]

Just wait for the metroid DLC, then everything will make sense...

Spoiler

mother brain returns.

They would all have to literally agree at the same time and all stick to their guns. Except, second tier sites would still play ball to try to get those clicks. The precedent is set and it ain't going anywhere.

 

[jesu]

You're my wife now.

 

[Derp]

I can't breathe...


I've never laughed so hard at screenshots before. What did you DO to make this happen LOL.

 

[m_shortpants]

Man, so glad I didn't end up buying this last night...jeez.

 

[Chobel]

LMAO!

 

[CosmicQueso]

There should be some kind of rule/law, that review embargoes lift a day before release.

Yep, we need a constitutional amendment for sure. We need to get governments working on the true issues. Like video game reviews.

 

[todahawk]

Ubi must be in PR panic mode.

Jim probably got blackballed and Schierer posted how the review embargo lifts at noon EST even though the game came out at midnight. Not a good sign.

 

[Hugstable]

#DEAD

 

[Mesoian]

Probably needed another year in the oven.

I mean...we'll get that game too...

 

[bud23]

hahahaha

Where is that Crossing eden guy btw?

"facial animations are amazing"

For real lol

 

[UrbanRats]

 

[oni-link]

What the heck is this ? is this in the real game ?

Is Octodad one of the unlockable Assassins?

 

[woen]

Oh god.

Funniest Game Of The Year.

 

[i-Lo]

I have to ask: How does a game like this even pass the certification process?

 

[WanderingWind]

I've seen this evil before.

 

[mercenar1e]

in Ubisofts defense that does look like a french man.

 

[kairu]

Review embargo isn't up until noon. That is some bullshit, Ubisoft.

 

[De-mon]

Yeah it seems pretty idealistic (and silly). Normally I wouldn't say this is possible. But surely, everyone agrees this is stupid? I would think all the media side of things have to think this is awful practice.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Guy on the left is scared to look the faceless monster in the eyes

 

[N.Domixis]

There should be some kind of rule/law, that review embargoes lift a day before release.

Well, you could always just wait? I don't see why people need to have the game as soon as possible. The game will still be there a day later.

 

[Amir0x]

I understand completely. I'm glad you're part of the community, Azula! We're always here for you, we can be your family

You beat cancer, it's so amazing. Treat yourself to whatever games you want and don't feel bad

 

[shandy706]

There needs to be a law introduced that states that all Review Embargos must end within 12 hours before a game's release. You can set it at any time prior to that.

 

[Ambition]

Congrats :,)
