There’s plenty of other comments ragging Ubisoft for their anti-consumer business practices so let me just point to those as a preamble and say “what they said”
… HOWEVER I remember someone on Youtube, maybe SirSwag, saying something years ago that rings true about Skull and Bones. For a big company, they’re taking notable risks by investing so heavily in unique multiplayer games. Basically every other big budget multiplayer game I’ve seen has been trying to compete with Call of Duty or Fortnite by being functionally the same thing with minor differences.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Rainbow Six Siege, For Honor, Shootmania Storm, Riders Republic, and Skull and Bones, are not like most other games that come before. Yes, Ubisoft is a massive corporation and fuck that noise, but as a consumer of video games I appreciate that they are at least putting a good amount of the money they trick people into spending into studios with designers and developers who have creative minds and they’re supporting that creativity. Games like For Honor and Rainbow Six Siege can’t come from indie teams with no funding.
Sirswag is easily the single most underrated creator on that platform.
Their AAA games are mid so I suspect their ‘quadruple-A’ games are also mid. Price 'em how you want, I’ll pass anyway, thanks Yves.
Fuck me, that is some quadruple-A-level bullshit from our man Yves. I played the closed beta and I am sorry to say that this game is going to tank, hard. Its gameplay loop is waaaay too simplistic to be making those grandiose claims.
Just like battery, the more A it has the smaller it is, but the price stay the same or much more expensive.
Quadruple Ass
I won’t buy another Ubisoft game after the nft shit and them deleting old accounts with purchases games.
Aw man I was kinda looking forward to this but this reminds me it’s Ubisoft. Which is a shame because I’m a sucker for their open world formula.
Don’t get too excited early impression say it isn’t good.
No surprise there :(
All AAA games and AAA studios are garbage.
Long live the indie game developer
Just wait a year or two and then play the stuff people are still talking about. It’s hilarious how often it’s indy games.
The 4th A is for “Assholes”
Doesn’t matter to me, I ain’t playing this shit.
Bwahahahahaaa. No.
Doesn’t the fourth A overflow and actually make it a 00F tier game?
Big ‘Comcast 10g’ vibes here.
Ubisoft is consistent with being on my blocked producers list on steam.
Holy shit I didn’t know you could do that.
Fuck yea! I’ve blocked Ubisoft, EA and a handful of other shoddy producers/their ilk. It’s not worth even seeing their offerings these days.
Xbox store needs this feature badly. If I click on another piece of kemco shovelware I’m going to fucking lose it.
MS loves to weigh their software down with bloat, I agree they need this feature but I don’t think they’ll take the financial loss to make it a thing.
Quadruple of $0 is how much they’ll get from me.
What happened to the records industry? Mp3 Videogames companies so many years ago have totally overpriced values. Do you know how much is 70 for a poor or even half developed country? And the word population almost totally majority are that people .
Sure it is, Yves. If any game would qualify as quadruple A it’s the Black Flag spinoff that’s been in development hell for years. Genuinely curious how long this game lasts, even if it does get good reviews and finds an audience. Feels like Ubisoft would have cancelled this ages ago if the government of Singapore hadn’t been providing subsidies to help fund the project.
It’s not even a subsidies thing so much as they are legally obligated to release a game for Singapore
It would be great if it was a black flag spinoff. A single player pirate action rpg. But nooo. It has to be a live service multiplayer game without any soul
