Rainbow Six Siege Community in an Uproar Over Ubisoft Visual Changes to the Game

While the majority of video games are marketed to the audiences in the west, the market in Asia is big (and Asia isn’t only Japan), and it even reaches massive status when you factor in China. Ubisoft has announced a list of changes it’s making to Rainbow Six Siege’s aesthetics since it plans to expand to Asian territories.

Is the community overreacting or is Ubisoft being an ass here? O_o

GortJester2415d ago

I think Ubisoft is being dumb tbh. One mans opinion but the removal of blood etc is just really odd for a mature shooting game with already M Rating

Skull5212414d ago

Taking blood out means I'm done with this game. Sorry Ubisoft but that is how it is. I liked Rainbow Six for what it is, not what for what the Asian market will allow. Big mistake.

sevilha822414d ago

dude it´s soo stupid ,i loved the blood splaters and the way the looked on walls and the floor,it maked the game so much cooler,f#&k this over-political correct trend bullsh#$t,i grew up with Duke Nukem and Doom,it´s just freaking pixels .

This time the community is more in the right, ubisoft is changing aspects of the game globally to cater to a segment of the market, it's basically taking a dump on anyone who already purchased. And from my understanding the players will be split from the global community regardless so they didn't have to do this at all they could have just did it for those playing in that region .. ionno it's a big mess, I do think the lack of blood is going to be goofy as hell lol shooting someone in the head is perfectly fine but blood being shown is a no-no lol

they might as well just have rainbows come out when you kill someone lol

I've never seen a game get away with so much.

The season system was already a nasty way of knobbing fans over, but essentially turning the game into a mobile game to appease Chinese companies? Madness.

rainslacker2415d ago

Forget reason. The community is in an uproar. That makes me more ruckused than the ruckus than the RDR2 2nd CD fiasco earlier this week, and even more than the COD community being unhappy about BO4 weapon variants.

All these things to be upset about, all this week. 2 of them from mp1st.com.

Maybe N4G mods can make a new rule that articles about some people in a community somewhere being upset isn't really a story. I mean, if these journalists and what they do aren't news, then I don't see how random forum goers opinions are news. We already talk about this stuff, and it just causes stupid discussion on the topic at hand. If the writers want to discuss the topic, at least bring their own take on the subject through an opinion piece.

mogwaii2414d ago

Lol, Wtf? "ruckused" is not a word.

senorfartcushion2414d ago

As much as journalists hate these pieces, uproar from fans shows the lack of care being shown by companies and where gaming is in 2018.

This is the objectivist era.

rainslacker2414d ago

@mogp

It's just something from an article earlier this week. This is the third story about how fans in some community are upset about something, based on nothing more than some normal internet post being upset about something.

@senior

In this case, I think there is a better story here than what the fans think. Rather, instead of focusing on what the fans are upset about, report the story itself, which is the visual changes to the game. Within that story, you cite how it's upset fans.

This is what actual journalism does, instead of making hit pieces which focus on people being upset. Inform. Don't breed a bandwagon culture by making it seem like this is something that would upset everyone.

Not good. I won't be supporting game companies that cater to communist regimes.

Uglyday2415d ago

So essentially none considering SJWs are communists.

senorfartcushion2414d ago

SJWs are actually scared of being ruined/killed by corrupt politicians that promote some of the world's nastiest crimes such as racism, sexism etc.

In fact, the terms was coined in order to describe the superheroes of DC comics.

Yeah, a lot of themngo overboard, and they can't take a joke, but it comes from fear and we should all sympathise with that just a little bit.

Atticus_finch2414d ago

@ugly .01/10 for lazy trolling

rainslacker2415d ago

Now Now....control your furor. All this ballyhoo and commotion is really no reason to be disturbed over it.

Downroar. It's good for the soul.

Shikoku2415d ago

So they are pandering to Communist china and Muslim countries......great.

NarooN2415d ago

Anything to chase after the almighty dollar. Kinda ironic in a sense
