Who is actually buying Ubisoft games?

You forget that the masses are dumb. They see a marketing budget in action and think that means the game is good. They're not looking at who is publishing a game before release, they're just seeing the commercials where some b-tier "review" site gives it a 9/10 or 4/5 and thinks that makes quality.

True i just dont know anyone over the age of 15 that plays call of duty.

Mature players play the single player campaigns. The multiplayer in CoD is solely for kids.

...

But the masses play mobileshit and even ign tier rags dont give them good reviews anymore.

How does it feel knowing they successfully repelled Vivendi ?

But Ubisoft raped the normalfags so hard with buggy, broken games, rife with shitloads of DLC that they had to put their flagship IP, AssCreed, on hold because everyone had started associating it with shit.

Apparently being mature entails eating shit because Call of Duty campaigns are probably in the top 10 of shittiest gaming experiences.

Halo MCC was broken for six months, and Halo 5 still sold really well. Ass Creed Unity was broken for even longer, and still they've been able to make back enough money to continue making games in the series.
The masses are braindead when it comes to being fucked by pubs/devs.

Halo 5 sold because the dwindling xbone audience needed an exclusive to desperately validate their purchase, nothing more.

It's still broken. What the fuck are you on about?

Well, it's pretty clear even they have had enough. Ubisoft isn't releasing yearly AssCreeds anymore.

Ubisoft is one of those studios whose games I have almost zero chance of ever buying yet I'll still pay some attention to since they clearly have some people in the company who have fun ideas and want to make fun games but they're all too far down the ladder to keep those games from becoming shit due to executive meddling.

These are the "people" responsible for Watch Dogs 2. I think it's pretty obvious why Ubisoft games always turn out shit.

There's probably two people in that photo who actually had ideas and who cared about trying to make an enjoyable game and all the rest are just underachieving artists or codemonkeys or whatever who are just in it for the paycheck and for "le videogames XD" street cred.

Skinny white girl casuals and their admirers. CoD is too masculine, football is too gay, Asscreed is unthreatening enough that bitches can get into it, and men don't lose masculine points by playing it. It's the back left wheel on the tricycle of casualness. (get it tricycle because it's baby-tier easy with no challenge)

I still buy some of their shit in the vain hope that someday the company is going to get back on its feet. Only after pirating of course so the only games I bought from them in recent memory is South Park, Child of Light, and Valiant Hearts.

I want to fuck Erin and impregnate her with my child

inst watch dogs 2 canceled?

To be fair, six months was the last time I gave even the smallest of shits about MCC.

Sure, they're through with Ass Creed. But look at all the other products Ubisoft puts out that are selling big because of large marketing budgets. Stuff like Siege and The Division, which both lied in order to drum up hype. You have stuff like For Honor that's being hyped to death, and the Far Cry's that idiots are eating up.

Every now and again Ubisoft lets one of those people pitch one of their ideas, and we get stuff like Child of Light or Grow Home. Which are the products we should be supporting from Ubisoft if we're going to support them.

For Honor is being hyped to death? I haven't seen anything new about it since the last beta test a month ago.

No, and the money people gave for Valieant Hearts, Child of Light and Siege is going towards it.
Nice job fuckers

i mistook watch dogs to sleeping dogs my bad

Couldnt blame you, Ive done it myself and the games have both similar names and concepts.
Shows just how creative bankrupt the AAA has become.

I doubt there's a single programmer in that pic.

Not even this guy, Small Head Fred?

If you support a shit company when they do something that isn't shit like South Park TSoT, you financially encourage them to make more good shit and less bad shit. It's called voting with your wallet and it's the only way to actually make a difference in the industry.

EA and Ubishit are only shit because they believe it is most profitable to be shitty cunts, it is up to consumers to prove them wrong.

No one, within socialist Canada reside a turbo-socialist nigger poor nation known as Quebec, and their government pays a huge chunk of Ubishit slave's salaries, that's why they are still afloat.

I liked Black Flag

...

Hype fags, Uninformed normalfags, & Bullshot fags.

You play video games for the shit tier writing?

Bought Rainbow Six: Siege on sale after is ending up to be surprisingly fun on a free weekend, other than that, no, all of there other games are pozzed diversity fests that give Battlefield 1's historical revisionism a run for its money

anyone have those screen caps of the AC wiki's explanations for various historical figures?

...

Thats cute when you think casuals actually play the game they buy.

Yummy.

uninformed turbo normalfags that buy games based off TV commercials don't care about the companies that develops or publishes games

i bought rainbow six siege, and a few years back i bought call of jaurez gunslinger

sometimes their middle-of-the-road titles are fun but their mainline stuff is all ultra trash, i thought asscreed was finally dying but i guess normalfags still buy it

the normalfag normalfags

and yet only 3 of them have skills related to making a game and the rest are there for show

I haven't bought an Ubisoft game since they delayed Rayman Legends 3 weeks before it was supposed to come out on Wii U, to port it to every other system imaginable.

Really miffed me to find out that the Vita version of Rayman Legends was just as good as the Wii U release, when I played Origins on the Vita and part of the reason I had bought a fucking Wii U was for Legends.

Fuckers.

Ubisoft's only good games are the ones they solely publish, and then they fuck those up with Uplay and most likely denuvo now.
And judging how Champions of Anteria was I think they've lost that too.

the FUCK is this guy smoking

Ubisoft is really good at finding things that people really, really want in a video game but can't really get anywhere else and building hype for their games almost entirely around one of those things. Development time is short enough that they can mostly avoid being pressured to answer questions about everything else, and they never hang on to one thing for more than a single game so they can keep doing it over and over.

Ubisoft saw the writing on the wall and you should have too

just me, im a billionare and i spend so much money buying games from such awesome companies like bungie, ubisoft, ea games, activision and more.
gaming is becoming everything i could ever want it to be and people like me who have money are the ones in charge, not whiny thieving parasites who need to be rubbed out of existence

I got rayman on 3DS when it was on sale. If that counts for anything.
Legends too.

The retards i know that like these games dont even actually play them. They buy them, and might play a little, but never ever get anywhere near finishing them. Detail: and they play exploiting every kind of xray powers crutch the devs shit on the game.

Then when you talk shit about the game, they get personally offended.

Amazing

I have a theory that the French become less capable in their technical and artistic skills the bigger the group of French people working on something becomes.
French indie stuff and games developed by a handful of French like EYE, Arx Fatalis, Furi, Rayman, Dark Messiah, Endless Legend, Beyond Good & Evil, Flashback, and Another World are much more unique in terms of nearly every aspect. The true potential of the French can't be realized when you start to amass them in one big group, like Napoleon's army or the corporate structure of Ubisoft's AAA teams.

OP, your mistake is referring to the internet for answers.
Yes, you'll see that every site now is calling them Ubishit or whatever and you think they're casuals.
They are. But there's a whole other tier of casual who never use the internet for anything other than Facebook.
They buy 3 games a year; FIFA, COD/BF and a Ubisoft game.
Those are the casuals who keep Ubisoft nice and fat and there numbers are probably 3-fold that of everyone who uses the internet to discuss or look up vidya.

I know plenty of people who will get hyped for something like The Division, tell all their other normalfag friends to get it too and then abandon ship after a month. Rinse repeat. And the worst part is: They never learn. They don't consider the game a failure, either.

the good things come from extremely dedicated small teams

MDK was made by like 4 people and it was technical and graphical marvel at the time while hundreds of people kept working on slowass clunky TPP games

All I know for certain is that the normalfag mindset is repulsive to contemplate too deeply, it's like a lovecraftian horror of revelation waiting to spring on the unwary

Let's go through the motions. I know there are a lot of NEETs on here, so I will share my experience with my normalfag coworkers.

First of all, how many good games are made each year? Legit good games? You can count them on one hand, right? Okay. Now which platforms are said games available for? That makes the few number of good games even more scarce for normalfags that don't have a PC or have only one console, doesn't it? Now consider that said normalfag types are a relatively "new" customer in the vidya industry, and they don't actually HAVE any metric by which to genuinely judge good games, because they got into the industry so late that "good" to them is "barely mediocre" to us. You can't have light without darkness, and we are the people who have seen the sun; however, to these retards, a candle flame is bright as a fucking star. They just didn't know how good we had it.

Now combine ALL those factors, and you are left with faggots who 1) don't know what a genuinely good game is 2) easily by into the hype of something 3) are convinced they actually have patrician tastes* and 4) have access to actually good games so rarely that they're desperate for anything AAA will shit onto their plate. Now, all that said, Ubisoft is a sinking ship from what I can tell, because they try way too hard to pander, their staff is horribly fucking out of touch with what gamers actually want, their writers are total hacks, etc. They are trying to get by on simply catering to the lowest common denominator like always, but that won't last much longer.

*I have a coworker who thinks he's a stellar judge of vidya. This is a dude who plays MT mobile games, thinks The Division is practically the second coming of christ, and doesn't know what a roguelike is. This guy is almost my age, too (25 or something).

It's like you're perfectly happy with the way your food tastes, and then you discover premium spice blends, and start adding them to all of your meals. Now your food tastes even better, but after about a month of that once you've gotten used to the spice and it has become your "new normal". Then you try to eat a meal without any spice and it'll genuinely taste plain/bad even though you were totally fine with how it tasted before you started using the spice blends.

Honestly I envy normalfags for how much they're able to genuinely enjoy and have fun with thoroughly mediocre games. I wish I could experience mediocrity like they do.

Rayman origins and legends were good.

Nah, doesn't count if there's other women I get with.

/r9k/ never changes, does it?

Normalfags get out

get out normalfag
but before you do make sure you remember this when you get cucked or she goes insane for apparently no reason

No really, when did Holla Forums allow robots to fucking leak in? At least Holla Forumsirgins don't blame their shitty lives on every female they glance at.

When did I blame anything on women? I'm just stating the plain fact that you are a normalfag and that you should get out.

I played the closed beta for Steep earlier this month. It was actually really fun. Might be the first Ubisoft game I buy in years. If you like radical games, I'd suggest you apply for the beta.

Please give me more (you)'s
I just want that sweet karma

...

Mouthbreathing casuals like the ones who post on this board. You know who you are.

Playing a lot of games and wasting a lot of your time gains you gamer cred.

What is better? Playing a few games thoroughly? Or playing a lot of games quickly? People need to value their time and their money more.

Also, I'm so tired of reviewers saying that they will give the game some slack because everything else released this month or year was worse. Why do people feel the need to play every new game that comes out? I understand why reviewers are like this. It is because they have play a lot of games in a short period of time, every shitty title. Imagine if book reviewers just skim the novels or gourmands just shallow their food. What is worse is they do because the majority of it terrible.

Is this pasta?
