The first time I played any asscreed game was when the Series X came out. I played about an hour of every game in order and didn't really like them. But they seemed like ok games, just not for me. I wouldn't fault anyone for being a fan of the series.

Ubisoft has For Honor and Trials which both own. For Honor is like 6 years old and still gets pretty frequent updates. The playerbase is shockingly less toxic than you would think too. This is THE videogame that surprises me isn’t an SA favorite with an active thread. Trials Rising got absolute dogshit support and has its flaws but it’s still a real good moment to moment game.

High on Life is good so far. At the first boss. If you don't like Justin Roiland's humor you won't like it but if you do it's pretty fun!

Feels Villeneuve posted:Far Cry 2 was a legitimately interesting game and the last interesting game Ubisoft made Whichever one had the dubstep was Good. I couldn't believe that was happening. Far Cry 2 and the respawning bases was shite though. And respawning soldiers/Jeeps with soldiers/everything respawning was completely shite. It was interesting in how angry it made me to clear a base and then get shot in the back by those loving soldiers in that loving base when I was walking away from it.

There was a lot about Far Cry 2 that was poo poo but it was sort of an interesting game. Far Cry 3 was pretty good, but it was pretty much the birth of Ubisoft using the same, increasingly bland approach with every game.

what does the Far Cry brand name even mean at this point? is it just like, wandering around attacking outposts of dudes + the vaguest of political commentary or something?

I enjoyed Far Cry 6, it was a lot stronger on the political commentary than people give it credit for, but I wish it were stronger. The games story is critical of western colonialism and the United States, but doesn't go far enough.

If you stopped playing Ubisoft games a the end of the 360 era you might be fooled into thinking they were actually sort of an interesting publisher with a variety of different games.

did Far Cry get named Far Cry because it was on CryEngine? that would be silly.

I remember after Far Cry 1 but before Crysis 1, they released a tech demo to PC mags and it ran at about 3fps on my machine. Good times.

Gambit from the X-Men posted:did Far Cry get named Far Cry because it was on CryEngine? that would be silly. Perhaps you could say they were both derived from "Crytek". Anyway, next came "Crysis", which I assume then led to "Ryse" in order to associate that with Crysis with the i→y thing.

I think part of the problem with Far Cry is that they are allowed some level of weirdness and experimentation with the secondary titles (Blood Dragon, Primal, New Dawn), but those are usually farted out in close proximity to a mainline game that everyone is already exhausted of so they barely make a dent in the consciousness. As a result Ubisoft then takes that as evidence to play it safe with the next mainline title. Lather, rinse, repeat.

swims posted:Ubisoft has For Honor and Trials which both own. For Honor follows the time tested and true method of releasing new characters who are better than the rest of the cast, with new mechanics, available for real money or in game currency, then actually balancing the new character (s) months later. And trying to learn to fight a character when you can't even try the moveset or mechanics is not very much fun.

Disposable Scud posted:All modern Ubisoft games would benefit from significant editing. I would posit it's the opposite: they all suffer from significant overediting to the extent that all creativity is snuffed out and they follow the same ubisodt cookie cutter open world design rules. The thing is when ubisoft isn't making an open world game then their studios produce genuinely great and engaging stuff.

Far Cry 4 was a straight up clone of Far Cry 3 with the white saviour aspect filed off, but Far Cry 5 was a little bit different structurally, and 6 is quite different in a lot of ways. 5 annoyed the poo poo out of me with its forced story progression segments but 6 has been pretty good about staying out of my way so far. I like the toys you get to play with.

FC5 was frustrating in a billion different ways, and it started before it was even released — when they came in hot insinuating their game was going to be a critical look at far-right America and then pulled waaay the gently caress back when they realized the world and discourse of early 2017 was considerably different from the one in which the game started development.

The thing about 6 that really offended me was that I know of course enemies in FPS's have health bars, but keep that poo poo hidden behind the curtain. It's impossible to suspend disbelief with them up. (I'm sure someone will tell me there was an option to turn them off in settings)

My biggest problem with 4 is that they charged full price for this game that ended after 10 minutes.
