This is Ubisoft games now. The worst part is that they did this to all their earlier hit franchises like Far Cry and Assassin's Creed, which started out with relatively good open worlds, albeit a little repetition but the games were good.
Then they kept copy and pasting shit, while quadrupling down on that formula. Going to a new zone doesn't give you a sense of excitement, it gives you a sense of dread as the map is about to be filled with 15 towers to climb, about 30 camps to clear, and 50 useless question marks on the map for stupid shit.
I saw this get worse and worse with the last 3 AC games. Origins had a fuckload of shit on the map, but the game did just transition to an RPG model so it was different and kept it kind of fresh. Odyssey was basically an improved Origins... with a bigger world and more shit on the map, towards the end of the game I couldn't take it anymore and just blitzed through the last 1/4 of the story so I could turn the game off.
Valhalla got announced and the devs had the audacity to say they toned down on repetitive content, that the map would have stuff to do but it would be meaningful, yeah that was a fucking joke. Every zone would have anywhere from 20-50 fucking "treasures" to find, among other activities - clearing all the zones of all the crap was easily 70 hours out of an 80 hour game. I'm never touching an open world Ubisoft game with any kind of RPG elements again, I may try AC Mirage because it's supposed to be just OG AC type of game.

Not to mention how many games we got that were harder just by not getting save function of the disc drive. (Looking at you castlevania).

Adapt or die I reckon. The new ones are AC games in the same way that the first 3d Mario game was still a Mario game.

Black Flag is up there for me, but mostly for the pirating
I replayed it recently, and at the very least it's one of the more enjoyable early AC games to 100%. Some of the AC2 games and especially AC3 have awful optional objectives that make trying to Full Sync a chore, and that's before even touching on all the required collectables. Black Flag removed optional objectives for a lot of the side quests (or at least made them not count toward sync and just give extra money instead), but even the main quest optional stuff is pretty reasonable. And it makes no sense in-game, but the stealth in Black Flag is SO GOOD compared to how awful it is in AC3 (and I say that as someone who enjoyed AC3).

u/Ultenth Dec 31 '22
The RPG mechanics now present in Far Cry and Assassin's Creed games are there for one purpose and one purpose only: To provide a system that can be stripped to it's bare essentials and made grindy so it can be repackaged and resold as "time saving" microtransactions alongside all the cosmetic option now pulled out of the main game to be sold separately.
And it works, people will spend money on those things, and will make excuses about "it gives people without as much time to play a chance to enjoy the game!" You know what else does that? Making a shorter and more fun game without intentionally making it longer and grindier so as to encourage people to pay to progress faster.
Hence the reason I use cheat engine to unlock all the RPG mechanics and cosmetics, so I can still enjoy the core gameplay loop, but without all the modern bloat added only for the purpose of greed.

Battlefield 3 leveling guns and vehicles. Intentionally grindy and then releasing instant level up micro transactions. I had nearly 1k hours and did not have all vehicles and guns leveled up, not even close. And they gave huge improvements too. Like the tank getting 1 free hit per side with reactive armor. I think jets got more flares or better missiles or something.
Call of duty isn’t much better. With a lot of the focus being on warzone, they made the guns an absolute chore that takes hours each to level up in warzone. All so they can sell the game where it’s faster to level up guns. Vanguard having 70 levels per gun was atrocious. 70 attachments per gun where virtually every gun used the same 10 attachments and the other 60 were pure filler.

- I have a gun that is entirely useless that I can't remove from my inventory (Dying Night, completed the quest, sold it, bought it back because it had the (!) and now it won't leave)
- I drove my car into a breakable fence and it got stuck on my car, causing the car to damn near fly, as in it would just start lifting off the ground
- Judy's neck tatoo bugs out all the time
- Multiple achievements just... not triggering? (hero landing 2+ enemies took me 5 tries for instance)
- I had a weapon completely disappear from my upgrade screen (it was not max upgraded, I promise. I was only level 45 at the time.)
- Only once, I was sitting still in a nothing area after committing no crimes and a couple cops just spawned and started shooting me (art imitates life?)
- The actual point used for aiming seems to be several pixels above my crosshairs?
- Two times now, I've summoned my vehicle and seen it spiraling through the air over my head
- Sticking an item with mods on it into any stash or selling and rebuying can cause the mod to degrade in quality and effectiveness. This might be intentional but I never saw it explained anywhere, but it's super annoying when a cutscene forces your items into a locker and when you pick them up they're all worse.
- Many, many others.

I'm a little sad to hear this. I thought the game was decent enough (high end pc tbf) on launch, nothing special but it had it's highs particularly visually, but enjoyable enough... but holy fuck was it so fucking insanely buggy. Like add every other buggy ass game together and for me it isn't even close. Fallout, skyrim, gta, old AC games, whatever... just not anywhere near that level. It was what it was though, I knew it needed at least another year or two to cook when I went in, it just was worse than expected. I was hoping by the drop of their DLC though it would be fairly polished, especially since afaik they havent spent much time doing any major reworking/improving of the more major systems (cops, combat, stats, etc) or adding content. Hopefully there is another major improvement with the dlc drop.

I find myself extra upset about it because outside of the bugs and some... absolutely terrible design choices (C for crouch + skip dialogue and double-tap-dodge have both boned me multiple times), the game is ridiculously fun.

Yeah, sometimes I feel like there are exactly two types of people - those, who played since release and never had a single issue with the game and those who claim the whole game window explodes on their desktop the moment they load their save.
And every time one talk with the other they think they played different games.

So fun. Beating the valkyrie queen at the 2nd highest difficulty setting.... Was so proud of myself for killing her without lowering difficulty after like 50 tries.
The raven stuff was the last one I did, which was annoying

I don't get the Ubisoft hate, can anyone explain? The last game of theirs that I played was assassin's creed odyssey and I've only 100% assassin's creed 2. (I've also played other Ubisoft games that aren't AC but like, I haven't really played much recently)
They generally seem to be the one big gaming company that tries to treat gamers decently (I'm comparing to EA and Activision Blizzard), at least recently?
- Gave free copies of their games on Stadia to Stadia customers after the service shut down
- support their games a lot longer than other companies (how many CoDs and battlefields have we gotten since the last rainbow six)
- generally understand when they make mistakes and change accordingly (no more annual AC releases, actually trying to give proper homage to cultures, etc)

Ubisoft is generally really good at making the same game over and over again. They're the poster comp of triple A copy-paste development. Ubisoft launcher is an even bigger dumpster fire than most other launchers. Too many of their games are bugriddled messes, if they even work at all (I've been able to play UNO online successfully with minimal issues about 3/10 times. Can't recall once where it just worked lol). While less greedily cashgrabby than EA, and less obviously problematic than Act-Bliz, Ubi primarily releases overly safe, boring-ass games that a lot of gamers don't find challenging or even enjoy at all.
There's probably more things you could mention, and elaborate on, but I mean, different strokes. I often defend Epic Games when people shit on them, because I think they're doing a lot of good stuff as well. And I don't hate everything they do. It's OK if you like something others don't. :)

The latest AC games are how I got my wife into gaming. She reads these threads and her mind is blown how anybody can think the last 3 AC games are anything other than spectacular. I think long time gamers are jaded and are always looking for the next mind blowing thing and if it isn't revolutionary along with the developer not having a flawless track record, it's automatically shit. Do I wish that Ubisoft would have continued in the direction they had with Unity? Yes, but watching my wife play these games that I honestly probably took for granted and that she thinks are the best thing since sliced bread has really been great.

I love the recent AC games cause they're really easy to pick up, have amazing stories, and side quests feel like fleshed out side episodes of a really long running tv show. Like, I can drop the game for a few months and come back to it and not feel like there's something that I'm missing anything.

I have to give Ubi props for still supporting For Honor. I also have a ton of fun with The Division.

u/UndeadCheetah Dec 31 '22
Their games are extremely formulaic and recently their big games have been way way too big. I think AC Valhalla is probably the best example. Some people love it but it would be hard to find someone that didn't think the game was full of pointless quests, an incredibly long story, repetitive (not very deep combat) combat. There is probably a lot more but the point is that these things have become prevelant in all their games and it looks like it's only gonna get worse.
Also microtransactions that are anything but micro.

u/Fantastic-Common-982 Dec 31 '22
Because gamers are some of the most cynical people ever. They hang on to a few “disappointing games” and let that define the whole company. Mario + Rabbids was some of the most fun I had this year. I will say that their bigger franchises are uninspired at this point, but I would still not call them bad.
Side note: this post having this many upvotes just shows how lame this sub really is now. That was such a shit insult.

ubisoft has given me so many enjoyable hours of gaming
Far Cry 2/3/4/ND/5/6, Ghost Recon wildlands/breakpoint, AC origins/odyssey/valhalla - that's thousands of hours of some of the most entertaining gaming of my life
i'm also retired and can play all day/night if i want, so really long open world games are exactly what i am paying for
seems like i see a lot of people blaming the games for their own obligations that keep them from playing/enjoying them
and what it sounds like to me is "quit giving me so much game for my money"

I would also say immortals fenyx rising was a pretty great and complete game. The only negative is Ubisoft’s weird ass pay to win in a single player game

It's cool to shit on Ubisoft because they've fallen off a cliff in the last decade.
You listed a bunch of 15 year old games, one AAA game released in the last 10 years that wasn't even developed by Ubi, and a couple indies.

I assume they have similar problems as almost any big studio in launching finished products, but I don't think I've ever heard any real uproar about it. I assumed they were at least better than most.

They came back to Steam and could even put achievements back in their game.

Outer Wilds just because I love that game so much. I needed the a vague hint for two small things, but completed everything else on my own.
Same goes for Majora's Mask.
