Are you talking about Shauna Jones? Her twitter is private? She might be batshit crazy or else but she has the right to say stuff outside of her job no?

So you’re saying as long as it isn’t a work social media account then we can all go around dropping the hard R?

Cool cool. Got it.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Why does this standard of taking a beautiful woman actress and turning her into a butt ugly manwoman in the game only apply to women?

Men actors and their in game image are always identical...

Why do these freaks of nature hate attractive women so much? The only conclusion i can come up with is they are doing all they can to push the mental illness of transgenderism into mainstream as much as possible

 

[hybrid_birth]

Comes out on my birthday. Still not supporting Ubisoft, will play through a gamefly rental.

 

[Zuzu]

The graphics look downgraded to me in that newest trailer. Either that or the trailer is showing console footage.

 

[ByWatterson]

I genuinely think it looks great, and like Jedi FO/Survivor, the team seems to "get" Star Wars the way Disney seems to refuse to.

 

[Salz01]

Man that digital ultimate edition is like 160 bucks… or something after taxes. Thats crazy. Artbook..etc. plus yea it looks downgraded since last showing. Probably to get it working on series s….

 

[Dazraell]

I just saw the price of the gold edition in my region on PS Store. Nope, I'm gonna pass and wait until sales. Not a chance I will ever give so much money for a game

 

[Team Andromeda]

Can't wait.

"She always felt the Galaxy is RIGGED AGAINST People Like Her"

Thats Twice Now they have mentioned that so its most likely gonna be a theme going forward........yeah IM OUT.

Not what I meant.

Some people won't play the game because she said something outside of work 3 years ago, which seems silly.

Unless she said something on the Ubisoft Social media accounts, but I did not find anything?

Has she or ubisoft mentioned anything about her wacky silly fun time bigotry since?

If they are willing to admit she was wrong then sure we can move on but the fact that all these people seem to be failing upwards in the system tells you more than enough than what Massive and Ubisoft actually feel.

The HR and hiring process these days is an absolute nightmare, those who had to look for a new job would have felt that pain. So how can someone who's being hired as a social face of the company, not have been vetted before hand .

After PANDORA, I don't expect this to be much different than previous UBI fares within their own IPs. There was a trailer that had a giant "WANTED" graphic and the way the voice-over described the system, it is EXACTLY like the system in FC6 (with a little tweak I'm sure). Also the animation just looks off to me. Something about it that was amplifying the uncanny valleyness. Will check out if it is any good and when it eventually comes to STEAM, but almost surely isn't a day one purchase.

. . .I do think it is hilarious that now Friday has become "official game release" days, and all it took was developers to realize they could monetize Tuesday releases.

I've seen enough tripe in newer UBI games that states otherwise and to personally never buy another

Which recent UBI games have had a key developer (who also hates White people) that is also working on the social media engagement side of things as part of their duties?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

What a disappointment, I was going to buy it when it was launched, but with the controversy of installing it online... I will buy it for 15 dollars, now.

In my comment you quoted, where did I say it was to do with anti white propaganda that I wouldnt buy anymore UBI games?

That wasn't what I was on about in regards to the 'tripe' in their games.

 

[FunkMiller]

So, the main character is basically Rey part 2, then? Another super strong, confident girl boss, who's only flaws are the gosh darned people around her?

How horrifically boring.

I don't really care that much what she looks like, but I'm not playing a Ubisoft open world game with such a dull protagonist, coupled with Ubi's usual grotesque amounts of greed.

Avoid.

 

[Toots]

When are people going to fucking learn with UBI?

I think the problem with community managers is they are supposed to love social medias (ie their tools of work), but at the same time loving social media constitute irrefutable proof that you're a moron. Factor in the fact HR people who hire them usually also love social media, and linkedin in particular which is one of the more braindead there is, and it's easy to understand why we won't get out of this catch 22 soon...

• Your creature companion "Nix" can be used to distract guards, take them out and stealth your way around
• Using stealth can help avoid your reputation taking a hit if you get in and out of places undetected

.....day 1

 

[kikii]

and cant even give a full game withtih 70€/$ price tag

 

[Mozzarella]

Trailer looks like it was taken straight from MCU in Hollywood, lol at the state of AAA gaming.

 

[sachos]

Game's looking really good. Using RTGI?

 

[Mister Wolf]

Very likely. Avatar uses it and this is the same developer using the same game engine.

 

[Kerotan]

Anyone else shocked this is coming soon? I hope more games don't announce the release date until within 6 months.

Personally I'll be playing it on the PS5 Pro. Get the gold edition for a reduced price, the bugs will be fixed and it'll run better on the pro.

In the meantime I've jedi survivor to play whenever it comes to EA Play.

 

[Tomasoares]

She's hot af, you guys are crazy.
This is not an "Horizon 2" (or "Fable") case at all

 

[SJRB]

wrong thread, smh

 

[manfestival]

my biggest problem with this game is that it is basically every ubisoft big game. Time to turn it into some open world nonsense

 

[Billbofet]

Being a Ubisoft game, it will be 75% off within 6 weeks.
