I mostly agree but I think Siege and Wildlands in particular (I don't know For Honor much) are wonderful games despite Ubi's AAA tendencies.Ubisoft best dev/pub working today.
Siege, Wildlands, For Honor: all masterpieces.
Division, Far Cry: cool af.
All soul top to bottom. Pure art.
People who hate them are communist hippies.
What makes Siege, (and to a much much lesser extent For Honor) work is . that's pure gameplay. There is little fluff, not much a singleplayer, or a open world, or character choices. It's just the gameplay in the match, which is unique and exciting.I mostly agree but I think Siege and Wildlands in particular (I don't know For Honor much) are wonderful games despite Ubi's AAA tendencies.
Wildlands, especially, is better the more you try remove or ignore the typical AAA open world b.s. from the game and just play it like an ARMA, Operation Flashpoint, or old school Delta Force.
And, it was great at release because it's great world design, despite that 'jank' at release a lot of people mentioned. GRW today is awesome, and the world design was great at release, but quite a few updates really did help smooth it out.
AFAIK, Siege and For Honor were not much different, in that the core ideas were awesome at release but they also benefited greatly from more updates to smooth out (or fill out with more content?) that original release state that many refer to as Ubi jank.
I hope if/when they make a GRW2 (gotta use that new TD2 engine more right?) they try move away a bit from the 'ding ?s and !s on the map' typical open world grind shit and embrace the sort of mil-sim lite 'no HUD,' no maps, etc awesome world design and gameplay loop that made GRW great and won people over with -- despite their misconceptions of the game at release.

I don't know who is more stupid, the original ranting moron or the people who assumed he was accurate in his quote. Here's the entire interview, you dullards: https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/1...e-future-of-assassins-creed-and-splinter-cell
"You know what is missing in this industry? A soul. Video games are about gaming, and gaming is not about entertainment, it's about learning. When you learn, you have fun. But when we are just entertainment we are losing something. I question the team about what real benefits the player will take away from the game for their real life. Right now, we don’t do enough in this area. This is what excites me, how to make something that lets you have the most fun while also having something beneficial for your life."
Ubisoft can buy FROM Software and their video games will have Souls at least

The ones developed by Bethesda aren't real Fallout games, more like bad spin offs which failed to grasp what made the originals so great in the first place.Why? Do you think that Fallout is bad?
Ah Razorfist, bringing down the hammer in his always alluring alliterative assonant attitude. Godspeed you glorious wrangler of words.
The notion that education should always be 'fun' is a misguided illness of our modern society that is heavily orientated towards enjoyment. Nobody who takes his education seriously is concerned with the fun aspect of learning. Generating knowledge is a long and oftentimes tedious process that is often shunned by those who'd rather remain in their blissful ignorance. Adapting your own convictions and views in order to accommodate new information is a very difficult process, otherwise we wouldn't have millions of people living in their own intellectual bubbles struggling to adopt the truth.
When it finally dawned on Einstein that he had lost the argument against Bohr and Heisenberg he was thrown into a long period of depression and intellectual recession. Such is the sacrifice of education. Sure, sometimes learning can be fun too, but in most cases it is not and it is certainly no necessary condition for learning. Hascoet is either a fool for suggesting otherwise or simply delusional for thinking that the little nuggets of cursory knowledge that his games convey represent the core business of education.
Why? Do you think that Fallout is bad?
Ubisoft says games have 'No Soul'
I was also going to reference Valiant Hearts (and Child of Light).When Ubisoft wanted to they could turn out an emotional gem every once in a while. Valiant Hearts was one of the most emotional games they've ever released and shows that if they really wanted to, they could put out some special stuff.
I can't think of a single Bethesda game that had rock solid gameplay. The melee combat in Skyrim was super weak, and FPS combat in later Fallout games felt similarly weak. I don't think they've proven themselves as capable of rock solid gameplay. It always seems like a hump you have to get over or ignore with their games.

Somebody has a little case of queer fear, eh?And then they would fill them up with microtransactions and gay undead. Ornstein and Smough would be a gay couple, and they would tell you that before fighting because of virtue signaling, and you'd be able purchase "time savers" such as exp boost and titanite from the store.
Which is the dumbest thing a human being could possibly say. Games have always had a soul. By "learning" he means "ideological indoctrination".

Isn't this just your own pessimistic outlook tinting your glasses and world view?
What do you think "learning" means when used by a political activist? And why is he saying that it didn't exist before? Did you ever learn anything before, like game mechanics, puzzles or enemy patterns and strategies? So games were "without learning" and now he wants to make them "with learning", how?
Games are systems and learning how to play them is like finding a solution for a problem. Games have always had learning and a soul. Saying they need "learning" now can only mean something other than gameplay.
Ubisoft doesn't care about any progressive agenda. They care about profits.
New Vegas was really good. (despite the crappy engine)What about Fallout New Vegas?
I beg to differ, but this is going offtopic.
I'm sorry, do you think this sounds impressive?
Some of the best games I've ever played didn't impart me with "real benefits". They did however, entertain me greatly. Let's focus more on doing that.
Also, I have to agree with what another poster said. That does sound a bit like "Hey, let's cram our ideology down your throat, and 'teach' you something."
What the hell are you talking about?Oh, I'm sorry, in your world game planning is mandatory? You're ASSIGNED to play Assassin's Creed? Fascinating. How difficult it must be for you to not be able to choose which games you do or do not play.
What the hell are you talking about?
Obviously it's my choice what I play, and I choose to play games that are more interested in being entertaining, and bot wasting my time
