That Open World Game Tastes Like Cardboard

From EGMR, "You know when you bite into your favourite chocolate there are all these different layers, a biscuit layer, perhaps a nougat centre or some caramel to sweeten the deal. There’s a glorious flavour profile that assaults your taste buds and gets you into that fevered state to chow down. That’s a great feeling right? To be overwhelmed by a flavour rainbow is a godsend. But it seems Ubisoft’s latest open world outing with Far Cry 4 didn’t hit that flavour profile. More so, it tasted like cardboard within the first hour, then the second hour there was nothing and playing felt like I was munching on nothingness, expansive nothingness dotted with a few interesting tidbits but nothing of grand taste. It was just a banal tasteless experience that seems to be the Ubisoft formula of late."

Ubisoft accidentally releases Beyond Good & Evil remaster, attempts to scrub it from the internet

Someone hit a big, red Release button. How were they supposed to know what it did?

Chocoburger20h ago

What? How do you accidentally release a game? Did someone's cat jump on the digital store manager's keyboard?

Damn those interns huh? Or maybe it was the new guy?

Ubisoft has 'paused' advertising on Twitter

Numerous major advertisers have suspended advertising on the platform following a report that found their ads appearing next to pro-Nazi content.

Jin_Sakai13d ago

Don’t think I’ve ever even seen a Ubisoft ad on X.

VenomUK13d ago

'Ubisoft has 'paused' advertising on Twitter'.

That's ironic.

DrDoomer12d ago

Sounds like a short term improvement to twitter.

LordoftheCritics13d ago

Media Matters manipulating the narrative of this world.
Ubisoft bending over hard.

Thank the lord for X.

Jin_Sakai13d ago

Media Matters are just pure evil as Elon said.

They should change their name to Narrative Matters

Christopher13d ago

Love the buy in here. Media Matters, that thing most people have never even heard of until now, is manipulating the narrative of this world but 100% not Elon who literally owns one of the biggest sites for pushing his own narrative and uses it to promote "freedom of speech for me but not for thee" as exampled by going after someone for having the freedom to speak out against his site. Glad he gets to gatekeep freedom of speech while claiming that everyone should be able to say what they want.

Love the idolatry in your last sentence, though. Chef's kiss.

VenomUK13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Christopher. There's more to this story.

X/Twitter is taking Media Matters to court because it engineered its results.

Magatsuhi13d ago

Your example of him 'gatekeeping' freedom of speech is Elon going after media matters for manufacturing false reports? You downplay media matters as if it it didn't have significant repercussions for their actions so whether you've heard of them or not is irrelevant. What's relevant is the effect they had.

It's crazy how you could express so confident your opinion and at the same time be so wrong. This is the world we live in now where people like you are so wrong and make up the majority.

Christopher12d ago

*** X/Twitter is taking Media Matters to court because it engineered its results. ***

Literally not what happened. Him saying it doesn't make it so. Heck, shall we just *point at Lionsgate, Disney, and Apple leaving because of Musk's own comments that prove Media Matters findings*

***Your example of him 'gatekeeping' freedom of speech is Elon going after media matters for manufacturing false reports?***

Oh, no, there are plenty of other examples. The guy who tracked his plane or people who mentioned where he was even though it was public information. How about his anti-Union tactics w/Tesla and firing people for that freedom? Oh, how about prioritizing speech for those that pay him? Banning competitors? Banning journalists who criticize him? Abides by India and Turkey demands to remove content even after he says he won't block Russian news sources unless at gunpoint? So much freedom and yet it's not.

Huey_My_D_Long12d ago

@Magatushi
Dude litterally censored people by request of Government officials from Turkey. When Called out on him not supporting free speech, Elon said "What? You expect me to lose business in an entire country or ban a couple of people"

Its fucking laughable how full of shit he is, but the fact that a large people say he protects free speech is way sadder than funny. He is not your friend.

Pocahontas12d ago

We will see in court. The main guy at MM sounds just as petty as musk. Elon has an easy case as no idiot in the world would actually force this and think it’s going to be a ROI. #1 rule is don’t piss off your advertisers or go broke. This isn’t a real thing. That is common sense which people seem to leave at the door because they hate the man so much. Same as Trump.

Crows9012d ago

Nobody is perfect. Just like people here will argue about who deserves a ban, etc. matter of perspective and quite frankly a lot of knowledge that you or we are not privy to depending on platform.

You should know this.

Seraphim12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

lmfao, media matters engineered the results!? Even in their [X] court filing they admitted it could happen. They just don't like the process used which in fact did show what they reported. So GTFO with that bs narrative. Like it or not what they reported was accurate as it can and did happen, and that is a matter of fact even X can't, and didn't argue against in their very own filing...

LordoftheCritics12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Lol terrible take, no basis.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.

Yes let us all talk shit about you on N4G, i'm sure your defamation will be greenlit with celebration and zero consequences.

Ubisoft is the Disney of videogames, i wouldn't expect any less.

Huey_My_D_Long13d ago

Watching Elon Burn his investment to the ground has been rather cathartic. one of the biggest idiots out there

Pocahontas12d ago

He didn’t buy it because it’s a cash cow. He bought it for personal political reasons.

Seraphim12d ago

No, he bought it because he was forced to. He never had any intention of actually buying the company as was evident in him doing everything in his, and the legal systems power to not close the deal.

Pocahontas12d ago

@Seraphim Weak speculation. He’s a troll. He had everyone teething. Turned “millions” into billions. Richest man on the planet and your out here pretending to be in the know, better than Elon. It should be earth shattering to your ego when you finally realize this.🤣
