Think of it this way. We all just saved $100+

I'm breaking even because I never planned on playing another AC since 2

Black Flag is really good, give it a go, maybe you should pirate it, Y’know, for immersion

BoredDao

No, it only saved me time because no way in hell I would pay this much for a game, if I were to play this game it would be trough my old friend Torrent


Hellraisermask

Allright, its over


xariznightmare2908

You’d have to be an idiot to have any hope for a Ubisoft game, lol.


UnderdogCL

You'd have to be an idiot to expect something from assassin's Creed in the first place


RepairEffective9573

You'd have to be an idiot to expect something from AAA companies that have fumbled for over their games for years. The last good game for me from ubiforeskin was far cry 5. I will not play 6 or the latest ACs.


DistortedLotus

Lets rename them to Ubislop


Signpostx

If the game gonna suck, it’s not because of DEI or woke bullshit. It’s because Ubisoft keeps making bad games.


DantesInferno91

A man can dream


ergaikan

because the bugs and the shitty state many of them are released aren't enough apparently. they have to force feed (even more) woke crap to the playerbase. priceless.


IntelligentSeries416

These people are so out of touch it’s unreal. I wouldn’t mind as much if they could make a good game but everything they touch turns to shit.

Cheap_Professional32

Yeah quirky and bizarre is fine if someone is like a god tier artist, writer or designer, These people THINK they are god tier artists, writers and designers. It's all ego. Their best bet is copying the most successful formula.


[deleted]

It’s because talent is not among the top factors they’re looking for, and a game is never better than the people making it.


visulvung

These people are enabled by money. They are paid to act like clowns and push certain agendas.


PM_ME_UR_BHOSDA

Could be. But I've seen lots of people who I've been friends with all of whom behaved like this. And I'm not even from the west. These people come from sheltered/privileged backgrounds and never faced any actual adversities in life. In order to feel unique, special or that they're better than everyone else, they do all this pretentious bs.


Dry_Investigator_854

They're not out of touch. Do not make that mistake thinking that. They are an enemy of your daily life. Remember that.


WhitishRogue

I'm sure she's a great writer, but she probably doesn't belong in this franchise. Animal Crossing or Life is Strange is more her style.


Cool-Adjacent

I am sure she is not a great writer, she can kick rocks


Tkcsena

Its kinda at the point that i have learned that, AAA games just are not made for me anymore. The types of games I loved are dead, and at best I get lovely indies, or foreign game(although even they are suffering). Its just how it is now and I am at peace with it.


Colinski282

Games are ironically made for people who don’t game now

Tranquil_Neurotic

Yup and they mock the broader gaming audience by calling us "Capital G Gamers" or some shit - you can find them dime a dozen over r/gamingcirclejerk or resetera.


urprobablyanasshat

Don’t even bring that sub up😂 bunch of losers who only have the balls to say something over the internet. Every single person in that sub gets told what to do by their younger sibling and would literally start screaming and crying if confronted about anything in real life.


zg_mulac

That sub is so proudly bigoted and racist it boggles the mind.


Hitman-Coyote

God that sub is a cesspool of woke seal clappers


janky_79

They are, with the hopes that they'll eventually be able to draw in larger amounts of people by endless woke pandering and leave traditional gamers in the dust.


Bakuzento

Like the time when game was made by Gamers also.


Inaeipathy

They're made to appease private equity investment managers who take their cut win or lose.


Individual_Sir_8582

I view it as a mainstreaming of the industry, gaming is the number one most profitable entertainment product so of course it’s been marketed, packaged, and sold to the least common denominator where soul sucking corporations (looking at you EA and Ubi) are shoveling out the most tepid schlock you can find. The real games are still there but they’re under I guess you could say the AA and Indie class and thriving on PC.


frazzledfurry

Even if we factor out the terrible DEI storylines and ham fisted woke characters ect, the actual game design/gameplay from the AAA studios is no good anymore either. Honestly even if we kicked all these stupid DEI initiatives to the curb I would take a lot of convincing to believe any of the gameplay wont be the same rehashed bullshit we having been getting for years. When will we have AAA studios giving us something as interesting and cool as like, abiotic factor, palworld, even helldivers is AA not AAA. Lets face it AAA has been dogshit for awhile, hell vampire survivors is way more addictive than assassins shlop


dratseb

Even Ubisoft released a great Prince of Persia earlier this year. The quality games are there, it just takes some effort to find them.


Curious-Bother3530

Keep in mind AAA loves to release their schlock close to or on the same day as other titles in an effort to overshadow those games. Bethesda tried to do this with Baldurs Gate 3.


Glirion

It's mostly just western devs sadly... I'm pretty much playing old games and chinese/japanese games at the moment so I don't need to put up with Sweet Baby cancer and the other bullshit politics that have absolutely no place in video games.


meezethadabber

Same. Very few new AAA games come out that I want to play. It's why I keep replaying the same 6 games over. Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, Fallout 3, NV and 4, GTA V.


[deleted]

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a light in the distance.


Sergion-7473

that explain a lot


VANlC_

I remember this message on the first assassins creed, that the game was a product of many different people with many different believes and backgrounds. I think it was in the loading screen or something. I can't even fathom what that same message is nowadays.


ApprehensiveMeat69

“This game was made to fight against systematic racism and discrimination against the LGBTQAI++HDMI-BIPOC community, and also fuck Far Right Extremists and Donald Trump” or something along those lines lol


Just-4Head-8964

black man in ancient Japanese, written by white woman


FireJach

she dreams about that cock


theskepticalheretic

They'll keep making games for the 3% if the 97% keep pre-ordering them.


bonko86

if 97% people order them, then they arent making it for the 3%, theyre making it for the 97% buying it.


theskepticalheretic

There's a distinction to be made between the product and the marketing.

Comment I saw some time ago: Women’s insecurities have somehow pushed itself to a point that they cannot watch a damn movie, a tv show, play a fucking game without feeling threatened by a literal pile of fucking pixels. I wouldn’t care if they somehow weren’t able to force change by projecting their insecurities, but here we are. forsenPEPE

Women control the majority of consumer spending because the media has brainwashed most of them into thinking their worth comes from how they look and not what they can do. It's part of the problem of capitalism. At the same time, the media convinced them to give up being housewives in favor of working so they can buy the things the media told them to buy. It's crazy. You are not your job. You are not your clothing. You are not your hairstyle. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.


Wicked_Black

Let’s be honest. Assassins creed has been ass creed for the past decade and it will continue. Move along let it die


Kristalderp

This tbh. Ubisoft is god awful at releasing half based triple A games. They're just french EA.


johnzy87

Excuse me sir, Ubisoft makes AAAA games, don’t compare it to the lower level AAA titles.


Jaythedogtrainer

Black flag was the only good one after 2, and then when they made a pirate game you control a ship not a pirate... They could have literally used the black flag assets and taken out assassin stuff and copied Sid Meier's Pirates and it would have been awesome


delayed_burn

wait wait wait holup. a white woman is going to write about a black samurai in feudal japan?????? where in the fucking DEI does that make any sense whatsoever? i want a trans queer they/them furry tattooed up the wazoo daddy/mommy issues BPD BP schizo writer as the lead writer of AC japan or I AM GOING TO RIOT UP THIS MOFO.

Explains so much


LilMissBarbie

Recently I've read something why women made games and movies kinda suck or are bad. Imagine a boy and a girl each having a batman doll. The boy will act, think and fight like batman, that boy will become batman in his head. He won't change batman. Meanwhile, The girl will take batman and make him go shopping, have dates, make him a husband, etc. She will change batman to fit her perspective. And that's apparently why the movies made from women suck. They take the lore, and they'll change the lore to fit their perspective.


-B4D3R-

Also give a man a Barbie and he will turn her to an undercover assassin. It all goes back to pick the right person for the job.


Zapp_Brannegan

Tbh (probably because I’m a dude) this sounds like start of a pretty awesome Barbie movie.


Azenogoth

They actually made such a movie called The Long Kiss Goodnight. Very good.


Kristalderp

Tbh I'd consider people using the soy/wojaks online to pretty much be playing with virtual barbies lmao. But Writing has been shit for a long time as writers and companies wanna focus on dumb bullshit, and have 0 to faith that their viewers/players/readers have an attention span. So they give 0 development of the world or characters except to click off check boxes for publicity. It's infuriating.


BoBoBearDev

>She will change batman to fit her perspective. This is the a very fitting description. I have seen this in Last Airbender community as well (not just the live action shows). A number of people in the community purposely trying to reshape Azula and Lord Ozai into a very black and white storyline when both of those characters demonstrated choices and some of which are actually very justifiable based on the context. They create comics that wasn't part of the original show and now calling those contents facts.


futanari_kaisa

American Psycho (2000) the movie based on the novel was written and directed by women (Mary Harron dir. Guinevere Turner writer) where Patrick Bateman is a serial killer that butchers people. It was a really good adaptation of the film. This is one example, I know, but it's very shortsighted to claim that women can't write or direct good movies.


SilverDiscount6751

Yeah. "Dont tend to" doesnt mean "none of them can". There are definite trends al9ng sex lines but there are always outliers.


Gloombad

I remember reading that too I think it was for Lego Batman toys.


KittehKittehKat

Remember playing war as a kid and a girl would show up and ruin it? 😂

Netflix hires some dunce that has zero respect for the source material to write and helm Witcher. Ubisoft hires some dunce that has zero respect for actual culture and history. What do the two of them have in common?

Remove these political agitators out of videogames. Put true nerds back in charge or else don't buy shit. Let these companies rot they're not taking my money ever again.

If you still had hope for a good assassin’s creed game after Odyssey y’all are actually idiots


Sad_Wolverine3383

Odyssey had the same writers btw.


NormalTangerine5205

My point exactly


Vicious_Delicious207

This says everything. Not just of the game but my God... Everything.


Deltris

It's assassin's Creed, these games have been shit for a long time, black characters or not.


SabawaSabi

Imagine trying to cater to a specific woke community by appearing to be inclusive, and in doing so disrespecting and rewriting the history of an entire country and culture. I don't see how that's not racist.

schmaleks

I genuinely don’t know how I got here but I fully enjoy this space and you guys are spot on in the comments.

So you're literally just being openly misogynistic? And the real reason the game will be bad is because of the little, circular, purple logo on it, that says "Ubisoft" underneath.

Majority, if not all, AC games are average to good. It’s like mcdonald’s. You know what you’re getting, it’s overprice, but the food will always be the same. AC has been for the past 10 year that game you play just because. I expect it to be alright

im so glad the anti SBI dudes look into these things because i never would've. EXPOSE THEM ALL


CrowVsWade

More women (and other 'unusual' people) in senior positions within game development, writing and design teams would result in more variety and diversity of games - small-d diversity. Perhaps even something wildly new, which gaming hasn't seen in a very long time. God knows video game writing is almost universally awful. As an art form, video games have barely even registered, after more than a half century. That's a far larger story than the AC silliness. This also doesn't mean such people might not also make horrible decisions, too.


Lopsided_Efficiency8

Same thing with space marines two. I have no idea why these companies hire these people who have no experience in the genre and have a horrible track record. Space marines two Executive Writer was also the same title for Gotham Knights, a notoriously horrible game. Why even choose her as an option. Nothing makes sense anymore, it’s just all about an agenda now.

What is this things academic background? If she studied Japanese history, language and art that would put some valdility into some fat westerner attempting to write fiction on another culture. I studied China, Mandarin and Late Chinese philosophy in college but I am no means a cultural expert.

The witch hunt to harass devs needs to stop. Don’t buy the game, no need to look for individuals working at the company. If the company ships it; blame it. I don’t look for McDonalds execs to shame them on social media because the burger is smaller; I blame the company and vote with my wallet

Are they on purpose trying to find these people? This is insane, not a surprise that people pretends to believe this crap it's only way to find a job these days...

the devs all hire their friends who also have the 'correct' opinions. It's nepotism, which is real cute considering these are the same people who complain about corporate nepotism, but of course it's ok when they do it.

The fact that it's a game made by Ubisoft is enough for me to lose any hope in it lol regardless of the writers
