Typical Ubisoft. Announce a game with a CG trailer. Show no gameplay but immediately have a number of game editions available le for preorder

dan3231755d ago

Yeah, I end up buying Ubi games a year later for half the price with all DLCs. Don't get me wrong they ARE fun, but not worth 100 bucks for all DLCs

Shadowsteal1755d ago

Yep I'm still playing through Odyssey which I got with all DLC for $30~. Next year I'll pick up Valhalla with all DLC for a similar price.

sourOG1755d ago

300 bucks lol. I like how they pushed the physical gold copies to 110 so they could still charge 100 for the digital gold.

Bobertt1755d ago

300 for a non functional flamethrower :(

Azurite1755d ago

Wait a few years and buy it for $10 on a sale or something.

MrSugarholic1755d ago

Ubisoft's games, Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, etc. these days are as soulless as they come. Ubisoft is the most soulless company, trying to be under the guise of the good gaming company, which has worn off completely by now.

Furesis1755d ago

i kinda feel bad for the actual developers who make these games. I'm sure they've got many ideas and new things they would like to make but they are stuck making the same games repeatedly since those guarantee money for the company. sad in a way

sourOG1753d ago

I think it would be awesome to be a researcher on AC games. I just bought a book about the historic Assassins and Templars and how they were both driven underground into secret societies. The surviving Templars became pirates that became masons. The Muslim assassins still exist as the Nizari Ismailis. AC was a great franchise in terms of history games sprinkled with conspiracy. Nothing is stopping a creative AC game because there is too much source material. I hope Valhalla returns to those roots, history and mystery.

Working on crew would suck though you are right.

You shouldn't be as petty as 'hating' an entertainment company. Just ignore their products if you don't like them...

Far Cry Has Become A Shadow Of Its Former Self

Following a series of repetitive games, a formulaic approach, and a disappointing last entry, the Far Cry series has been run into the ground.

The trouble with most criticisms of this franchise is that they insist Far Cry 3 was the best game, but the things they claim to hate about the franchise are all the elements that 3 introduced.

Deeeeznuuuts284d ago

Couldn't agree with you more! I've always thought that, my personal favourite is two, the whole atmosphere, mystery, adrenaline, my vehicle steaming up because I've crashed too many times trying to escape and then getting in a shootout, having to pull a bullet out my arm while fire rages and bullets fly, can't beat it

JEECE284d ago

Yep, 2 is my favorite by far as well, and one of my favorite singleplayer games of all time. It was probably one of the last games Ubisoft made before they started homogenizing their franchises to be open world collect-a-thons with unnecessary RPG mechanics tacked on. I enjoyed 3 for what it was, but it was clearly an attempt to make the franchise appeal to a mass audience (which, in fairness, was successful).

LucasRuinedChildhood284d ago

That's not the issue. If Far Cry 3 never existed and they just made another 5 or 6 games that were increasingly generic copies of Far Cry 2 instead, would that make FC2 the real problem?

No. It's the lack of creativity and effort that followed that's the real issue.

And there are things that are genuinely different about FC3. Simple example - the story was easily the best. Best main villain by far too but it also has strong themes and wasn't afraid to explore controversial topics. The sequels are much blander.

Comparing the fun and creativity of Blood Dragon to the DLC in the sequels ... also says a lot about how Ubisoft fell off.

-Foxtrot284d ago

Yeah like even Far Cry 4 was decent, not as great as FC3 but they still gave us an interesting story, setting and villain. Pagan Min's random calls to Ajay were pretty funny.

They just got lazier and lazier, pumping them out while making it a little more streamlined each time. I mean Jesus, they gave us a silent protagonist with FC5 which really hurt the main story and are obsessed with pleasing everyone by trying to do two characters, male and female rather than just settling on one to tell the best story they can.

neutralgamer1992284d ago

I started FC6 and yes the game works fine but I just wssnt Fun. Do many Ubi games are huge playgrounds but feel empty and doesn't give the feeling of a world which is lived in

JEECE283d ago

I have found that the more recent FC games work better as what I call "background games." Basically what I mean is it's nice to have an active save in one of them going for those times you have 45 minutes to play games and just want to have fun and don't want to get bogged down playing a game online or starting a new game and spending all your time into an annoying tutorial. Like I haven't touched FC4 in years but I know if I had 30 minutes to an hour to play I could hop in and easily be back in the swing of things and attack an outpost and have a good time.

I think a lot of people use big RPGs like Skyrim or Cyberpunk in a similar way.

isarai284d ago

Yes because FC3 executed those aspects better. Every game since FC3 has just been Frankensteined off the bones of FC3 with half the effort.

you could say it's a far cry from what it was

wesnytsfs284d ago

Ubisoft gets a lot of hate for their content filling of maps. Personally I enjoy the mechanic when i play an open world game I like revealing hte entire map and doing all the side mission stuff before i go into main missions. Far Cry and the RPG AC maps where a joy to play.

RaidenBlack284d ago

Far Cry 2 was soo unique ... it was ahead of its time and is often misunderstood (thank you Clint Hocking, can't wait for his next game Assassins Creed Hexe)
(yes, FC2 was a departure from from FC1, so in strictest sense, Crysis 1 & 3 are the truer successors)

JEECE284d ago

Yep. Unfortunately there has been so little since then that has scratched the same itch. Really the closest thing has been BOTW, which uses a lot of similar systems (though ironically FC2 came out before Ubisoft put the Assassin's Creed towers in Far Cry, while BOTW had Ubi towers). Obviously it isn't a shooter though. I keep hoping that that some indie dev will put an FC2-esque game out on Steam, but so far I've been left wanting.

Sircolby45284d ago

I actually enjoyed Far Cry 5 and New Dawn. Far Cry 6 was a joke. It was a step backwards in every way. That was probably the worst Far Cry I have ever played.

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot415d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor415d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos415d ago

I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel

Demetrius415d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88415d ago (Edited 415d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.
