"somehow" = going public kills innovation, quality, and joy. That was inevitable and planned as soon as they took all those mountains of cash. Sad that your talent went unappreciated and underutilized. It sounds like art school. May I ask what you did there?

@@TigerGreene I worked with the art teams for a couple of their brands.. The company did appreciate some of their employees, but that mostly came down to raw skill, and politics. This sort of thing you'll find anywhere. I'm not sure I agree with what you say by going public kills innovation etc... I've worked at other companies where this happened and things continued as usual. But this is agreed upon before any sort of acquisition/merger or any other parties becoming involved. The sense of idea creation at Ubisoft was one birthed from fear, always. On one hand, it was understandable. The bigger you are, the harder you can fall. They had no make conservative decisions. On the other hand, the things I saw go down there, when it came to game ideas, had a lot going against it. Fear, placing prepubescent children at the head of dev teams, immense ego, pride, lack of industry experience, idea isolation (many had never worked anywhere other than Ubisoft and understood nothing about games that were made by other companies), did I mention fear? There were a lot of people who loved it there. But in all, they were mostly new to the industry. They were mostly just happy to brag to their high school friends that they're working for Ubisoft and couldn't care less about striving for great game development.. A lot of their games suffer as a result with poor quality everything being greenlit.

yeah and playing the games feels like the same. first assassin creed game i played was great. the second ac game felt exactly like the game

@@zipzorp8858 wait, they placed children at the helm of dev teams? Like young, inexperienced adults, or like literal (executives’) children in positions of decision making?

@@24fretsoffury Well they didn't hire any actual children. Though they did have kids come in to playtest our games. They weren't employees though. Just free labor with "bragging to your friends you got to play a Ubi game before release" as payment.

my favourite Einstein quote!

This should be the top comment

Ironic

I wanna say something about Science and Atheism on YT, if i may. Ever noticed how Science-UKpostsrs and Atheist-UKpostsrs are basically 'blood-related'? They even all cover Kent Hovind and such people; which aint a Coincidence. The Fanbases don't overlap enough though. Professor Dave pointed out in his video about the Discovery Institute: Some right-now literally fight for a Reverse of the Seperation-of-Church-and-State, which would be devastating. Telltale says to that: We need more Science-Enthusiasts and Atheists in-Office (he even provides infos how to run for Office). The fanbases not overlapping enogh is 1 thing, but people not quite realizing just how widespread and actually-intentional Science-Denial really is, as Professor Dave and Telltale recently expertedly explained, is 1 bigger thing.

But it works for them just fine, not for us.

I hear that line repeated over and over again in mainstream media…it’s also not the actual definition of insanity

@@Johnsmith710s Its a saying dum dum it means that doing the same thing over and over again is stupid

Wow. Is there hope in the future though? :)

@@SalamiKing7 Well, the biggest shift that happened there was the firing of Serge. But apparently he has been replaced by someone similar. The future is bleak for Ubisoft games. The only thing that may offer change is that the Brand Director of FarCry and key directors of AC have left the company. Maybe that will prompt a change in those brands, but I doubt it. The good side is how many people left the company and either founded (or joined) new studios around Ubisoft studios. You can look at new studios like Cloud Chamber, YellowBrick studio, Haven etc. Or already existing studios that have massive growth (EA Motive, Eidos, Compulsion). Just keep in mind that A LOT of talented devs at ubisoft grew angry and unsatisfied that the editorial were greedy and unable to innovate . Everyone at Ubisoft are passionate gamers unable to express themselves creatively. When I was working on a project, EVERYONE hated microtransactions, but Paris wanted them. What Paris wants, goes in the game.

Also, one thing that I've noticed in the studios that I've been in, is that once the marketing team is also invited in game design meetings, the game will turn into a generic bland game. Every.time. That's what happened to Ubisoft, EA, Blizzard. They don't care about the games, their job is to maximize revenue, but devs can't do anything about it.

I hope I've made some fans understand that shitting on devs isn't really productive. A rower in a ship has little power when the captain is repeatedly steering the ship toward the same plain, uneventful and boring lake.

@@frankyd9986 Thank you so much for your insight. :)

Approval? You mean making as much profit as possible, this is late stage capitalism.

I wish more people understood how game development works. These money hungry decisions are usually made by the Publisher, not the developer. Publishers finance the development team for the game, and since they are being paid by the publisher, developers have very little say in the final product or general gameplay, artstyle, quality, etc. Most devs WANT to make quality games, with innovative ideas, but it’s ultimately the publisher that limits development time, and quotas. Most publishers want as little investment as possible, with the greatest return on investment. Don’t blame the developers.

Well said!!! Honored to have you comment on my vid Critical!

exactly.

Another game that I feel yhat has been kinda affected by the DLC problem is Payday 2. Now hear me out, the initial story and overall is amazing, and the main dev did a good job connecting each Heist DLC with each other to create the whole Niphilim story and the good heist trailers, but the thing is... It's kinda boring! The lack of innovation was solved just by creating a new character or joining some AU like Miami Hotline, Scarface, or John Wick and a new heist, dialogues, and new map. A youtuber, Generalmcbadass, literally kept doing solo and group heists, with different difficulties and teammates. But the thing that made that interesting was his commentary. The game itself was rather undistinguishable. Alas, I can see that players like myself are getting hyped for the upcoming Payday 3. I really hope they move on from the main story, perhaps they will develop it to be a prequel for thr Payday series, or a sequel idk.

Since 2012

What's funny is, if they allowed the good ideas some of their developers are surely proposing, it'd make for a better experience for the players and we would, in turn, WANT to spend money in their fucking online stores. I can't see myself ever purchasing another AC title, certainly not at $60, so seeing some of these ridiculous shop items, and picturing ANYONE spending over $200 on their game, makes me literally laugh out loud.

Ubisoft has had to chase a bottom line because they've been dealing with an attempted hostile takeover for years. If you had Vivendi trying to buy their way into forcing you into selling your company, you'd do everything you could to make sure you were making money hand over fist to keep them away. If you're looking for someone to blame as to why Ubisoft have become cookie cutter, blame Vivendi.

Funniest thing to me is when they talk about being inclusive... yeah right. Didn't want choice in assassins creed, but got forced to have it. Then I figured, this sucks but atleast I can finally play as someone of my own demographic now I guess. (Gay man) Oh no wait, ubisoft will insist I "don't count" and that I wasted my time, because I was infact a womam all along. And that is what we call gatekeeping. It seems ubisoft only know how to swap victim, rather then solve a problem.

Ubisoft, Bethesda, Activision Blizzard, CDPR, Dice, 343, Square Enix, Take Two Interactive, Devolver Digital, Bungie, Epic Games...all have produced hotdogwater consistently for almost five years now. the industry has been steadily declining ever since the glory days of sega vs nintendo. I think there is a massive socioeconomic issue with not just video games, but intellectual properties in general. if congress passed a bill that voided ip lawsuits, anyone on the planet would be free to create things like star wars products. star wars franchise would not be exclusive to $billion dollar disney$, spiderman would not be exclusive to marvel, etc...though disney & marvel could continue creating their content at the price of making less money

back in the day the crew 2 was my fav game. now that i've grown up a lil i realize how shit it is and i play the first game more than the second one now

Odyssey is definitely my favorite out of the origins,odyssey,Valhalla trilogy I loved walking around a 1:1 greece and it really made me interested in ancient greece and mythology. I had a blast playing odyssey but i did eventually get bored of the combat.

Thats cus those 3 really weren't ac games they were action rpgs they just slapped the ac name on

I wouldn't say unfortunately. The Ezio Trilogy as a whole is a masterpiece, AC3 while a bit rougher story-wise still had great gameplay (and trees free-running which was mindblowing). Black Flag also was an excellent game, even if it was more of a Pirates of the Caribbean game Disney never made. Was only after Unity things started to go wrong and with Origins the series fate was sealed.

Some context because some people are going to take this the wrong way. Tencent owns 5% of Ubisoft. This is barely enough to have any considerable sway in the business of the company.

The player count of Valhalla deeply saddens me. I remember playing the game as an OG assassins creed fan, dropping it after 4 hours, thinking “this is the lamest most bland and uninspired Ubisoft game I’ve ever played” and seeing news articles about it being one of the best selling Ubisoft games of all time and just being depressed with the state of gaming.

In a way I'm glad that Ubisoft didn't release their recent games on Steam and went Epic exclusive because I only use Steam and it has saved me a lot of money.

It is. And I don't consider those games Assassin's Creed. Until they return to how they used to WITH innovation; then I will never play another Ubisoft game. (Far Cry 5 was the last one I played. Never again.)

I play AC since the first one.. but unity and syndicate fail to impress me after the black flag. Same gameplay and mechanic like an old one... At first, origins came out and I hate that RPG style of gameplay.. so I don't play it. 2 years later, I decided to play it because I just want to try it. And I can't believe I really like the new trio mythology AC... For me, they really did it good to change the gameplay with the same title. I really enjoy the new one rather than back to how it used to be before because it's a boring repetitive game. So, I just wanna say everyone has their own taste...

Far Cry 2 was mine. I've still never played Far Cry 1. But I just can't stand Ubisoft anymore. Everyone's gay, Trans, or a woman. Gay vikings. Female warriors and female vikings and Spartans. Its all a historical joke and never happened and isn't historically accurate. All they care about is "muh diversity and inclusion" despite the fact that most gamers hate that crap. The Spartans and vikings would have laughed at the idea and then sworded them in the gut. Trans revolutionaries like in Far Cry 6? Lmfao yeah right. That's a first world, post modern luxury and fiction that would disappear the second a country became war torn. Not to mention all their games have become cookie cutter and stale. I wish they just made games like they used to without all the sjw garbage that no one wants and tried innovating more rather than make the same damn game over and over with a different skin and more woke revisionism.

​@Basically I'm Schlorping There's nothing wrong with 4, just as there's nothing really wrong with any of Ubisoft's games. They impart a feeling of ennui that is separate from the games themselves, a remarkable feat when you really think about it and something that other AAA video game companies are also starting to do unfortunately... Ubisoft's games truly feel like they're cranked out in a factory, sure they're decent, but they're soulless, uniform and mass produced/assembled. You can only experience the same thing with a different coat of paint or a new jigger so many times. But as my first post said, there's always someone new who hasn't seen/played Ubisoft games before. So they'll probably always persist in mediocrity with people saying "their games are great and people are too hard on them!" only for those same people in 10 years becoming the ones who say their games are soulless and all the same. :P

Same here, but imo even if fc5 was a reskin it somehow made things worse from fc4. Forgettable characters (except the main antagonist), silly and annoying missions and worst of all, a non existent progress curve, since your character is op from the very beginning. I ended up giving up on it

It makes sense and it is pretty logical. But apart from a lot of mistakes, Nintendo for example still is pretty much the same all these decades. The need for endorsement and the subsequent pace they need to follow it, doesn't need to go this way. Quality control is a matter of logistics.

This is such a wrong argument and got used extremely often. Shareholders want good stock prices and please check especially Ubisofts stock price. Shareholders want sustainable and we'll doing games. Games that get sold and games that will also be played, so that the player come back I'm a few years to buy new games. Unlike the new battlefield for example. You can also check the Activision price. Activision is in terms of numbers a very good company but the pricewas relatively low, due to a bad reputation in the industry for being greedy with Microtransactions, etc and bad games, which still got played.

@@leongerdes7860 >Shareholders want sustainable and we'll doing games Absolutely fucking wrong. shareholders want yearly releases of the same content with loot boxes, copy and paste, copy and paste. the moment the investment to a game is anything more then 2 years development gl with getting that trough in them modern triple aaa market. they want big line go up fast, you know why? because why invest in a line that moves slowly when i can get the same return many times faster? If i can invest in a company that has makes a quick growth i can make profit in a reasonable amount of time. so why take the risk of "sustainable" here when i can pump out shit games and just pump and dump the studio? Literally the stock market changes on a dime Elon musk will make a tweet about somethn minor and suddenly tesla loses stocks like crazy. what does it matter to me that its "sustainable" when i am just losing to cash out my stock anyways once it grows? why wait 5 years when i can do it in 1 year. the stock market is a fucking heroin addict mentality market is what it is. and the only people that are actually "sustainability" oriented are people like bill gates that actively run their company. people that are just mindlessly selling and buying stock have 0 investment in the company's future just their profit NOW. why do you think games try to fill you with microtransactions and quick short term creation plans from year to year? Because any time there is even any hint on not cashing out instantly the shareholders panic, they want the profit and they want it now.

@@leongerdes7860 No, it is not. Corporatization of the video gaming industry and particular bigger developers/publishers is the biggest driving force for the identical garbage that is churned out every 1-2 years.

@@johngalactus4014 fucking exactly. Ubisoft have proven that they’re capable of making good AC games, they did it for the first 4, so why the hell did they stop??

You want an AC setting in ancient Persia? That's literally Prince of Persia, where Ubisoft first started experimenting with a spinoff title that later became AC, and they trashed Prince of Persia all together because they couldn't decide on a game's direction. Ubisoft right now, is a cookie cutter company. You can't expect good games from them anymore, as long as they keep up their yearly "triple A" releases that are a copy-paste of a game they made 10 years ago, but with a different setting and story.

@@WeskerUmbrella4 A lot of people bitched on Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands back when it released in 2010, but I enjoyed my time with it. Ubisoft in the late 2000s - 2012ish still had variety in their games. Far Cry 2 is rough, but at the time when it released in 2008 it was a huge step up from the original Far Cry. There's no way Ubisoft would put that much effort and innovation into their games anymore. I think the ONLY reason Ubisoft took a break after Assassin's Creed Syndicate was because of the horrible reviews Unity received and the poor sales Syndicate got as a result. Origins I think is the ONLY modern era Assassin's Creed game that I felt that I enjoyed playing from start to finish. But Ubisoft has already gone off the deep end, starting with Odyssey and now with Valhalla. Present day storyline sucks and is a waste of time, it died when Desmond was killed off anyway. On the historical side it's not so much as being an Assassin as much as you are a mercenary or a crazed Viking who just slaughters a lot of innocent people, even though Ubisoft still tries to throw the 'de-sync warning' towards you when you kill unarmed civilians. Prince of Persia didn't do well enough in the sales department. That's why the series is completely dead. Rayman, can anyone here remember Rayman anymore? Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, that's another franchise Ubisoft dropped by the wayside. Ubisoft is fully focused on monetizing, to the point where they failed to mention Rayman at all during his anniversary because they can't come up with a way to monetize it. Watch Dogs, Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, they're all the fucking same now. Even For Honor felt scummy after I played it for a while, which is a multiplayer game. Ubisoft is hot garbage.

@@christopherregan1654 I think if they did far cry 2 in a new game again but reworked the poor mechanics while removing the unfun ones it would be a really cool game hell, maybe even remake far cry 2. That would actually be interesting.

Thank you!!

@@JackSather I loved your Red Dead video

For Assassins Creed I don't think it needed to be 60 hours due to it's repetitive content but I disagree that no game ever should be 60 hours. For example Zelda BoTW was around 50 to 100 hours red dead redemption 2 was a similar length. Assasins creed just had a lot of missions that were repeated in a different location but if a game continually has new content & ideas throughout the campaign then I think it's fine

There are still games being made that are a few hours long (whether it be 1 - 10 hours). There were always games being made that were exceptionally long, look at Baldur's Gate 1 as an example. Just because you don't try to look for other games that fit your criteria, does not mean they don't exist today. Nor does your nostalgia mean that these aspects in games you dislike have not existed in the past.

@@binguser344 I believe you’re right, as BOTW was a game I came late to and absolutely loved it! Same with something like Ghosts of Tsushima. I think I worded it poorly, rather than have an issue with long games generally, my issue lays with long games that are extremely repetitive with false content as you said. For example the new Dying Light, with the headlines they’re pushing saying it’ll take like what, over 1k hours to get 100%? That immediately puts a sour taste in my mouth and makes me not want to play it. BOTW does this brilliantly with the only thing remotely comparable in Korok seed collection, the rest of it is natural and feels so fresh.

@@jared.mohammedthanks for the response. I think you’re right for the most part regarding nostalgia having an effect, because my love for the 2007-era of gaming is unwavering as many of my favourites came out between then and 2010/11. Could be considered a golden generation for me. I have to disagree with a point though regarding not looking for other games, especially stuff that would not be on my radar. I’ve tried a lot of games, particularly SP games such as Persona 5 (one of my all time favourites now). Maybe it is nostalgia that has me going back and replaying some classics more often than not, but I think the issue stems from that back then games would be either made to be good or make a quick buck (see Duke Nukem Forever, I fell for that at the time). Do you have any suggestions for good games, either long or short? I’m happy to try broadening my horizons 😄

@@vitalweinerdog Totally, very few games can reach that 1000 hour mark without reusing content but if a game could hypothetically have exiting new content until the 1000 hour mark then I wouldn't hold that against it however unlikely that may be. PS - thanks for being chill and having a thoughtful discussion on the internet bc those can be pretty rare

Thank youu!!

Man I hate ubisoft too but you don't have to lie just because you have a shit pc. Makes us all look bad, so smarten up kiddo.

@@jarredlucas4000 Consoles better.. Cry about it..

@@tacotuesday2489 that wasn’t his point at all but ok

@@jarredlucas4000 bruh what are you talking about🤣 does PC magically have outfit animations for running and prevents clipping? Because your PC must be magical then

@@alejandrovallencci I noticed the lack of effort starting with Odyssey.

YOu should watch lazerz. He hates Odyssey and makes lots of good points on it

I still remember in AC Rogue I managed to win the first boss fight by shooting a berserk dart at Lawrence Washington so he fought and got killed by NPCs while I went to hiding in the bushes.

Odyssey has ridiculous power creep when wearing good gear. You were a "demigod" and good gear made you actually feel like you were a god, taking no damage, one shoting everything. It was the best game since Black Flag imo.

@@kynlaan3332 I didn't played assasins creeds since unity so I don't know anything of odyssey but when you say that wearing good gear makes you a God you can't read anything else than; when you pay for good loot you are a God. In my time you could be a God by just being Good at the game

@@johnniewaiker6203 You are making this point without playing the game as you said. I never spent money playing odyssey, other than purchasing the season pass when it went on sell. You can easily find good gear while playing.

join the little studios who pay adequately if not more...

​@@yt-shmost smaller studios don't have the budget to pay more, unless they're being backed by a large company or VC, which typically means the first successful game will destroy the entire ethos that made said game work now that you're making money.

old games were made by nerds from all walks of life who just wanted to make something cool. Modern games are designed by committee using "theory" and spreadsheets and statistics to find out how to appeal to and squeeze the most money out of people, and as such they are soulless...
