Ubisoft was banking on Star Wars Outlaws to be a massive, multi-platform hit that would earn the company plenty of money, especially with the expensive Gold and Ultimate editions and season pass.

    Maybe they should stop churning out shit, making always online shit, and just generally being shit.

    “The game received an unusual number of user reviews with a clear negative bias (including a large percentage of “zero” reviews), despite seeing acceptable review scores from reputable review sites,” Wedbush analysts Michael Pachter, Alicia Reese and Kade Bar wrote in a note last week. “This is a case of a rare incel victory that led to Ubisoft having to take down its numbers,” they added.

    Oh kindly fuck the hell off. Whenever people have legitimate criticisms of something like this they always downplay it as trolls, or review bombing. NO. It’s a boring game, that’s it. Ubisoft tries to make games for “everybody” and so they take zero risks, and because of that their games are boring.

      Ubisoft has been trash for over a decade. The only thing they had going for them were ass creed.

    Please sell it to EA. Sell all the garbage game making companies to the undisputed king of shit so I can have an easier time avoiding shitty games.

      If they’d backtrack on UPlay I’d probably actually buy the odd title again. But whatever. It’s likely never going to happen anyway.

    I just hope Anno gets out of this in a good state. 1800 is probably the best one, if I ignore my nostalgia for 1602.

    There are plenty of Ubisoft games I would buy if they werent by Ubisoft.

    Even if I want the game though, it just isnt worth the bullshit not to mention, will my game even work after Ubisoft inveitably cancels support for it?

    Ubisoft in every aspect from blatant slaps to the face of customers in their behavior to boring overly simplified map janitor mechanics treats its customers like they are gullible sheep who will sit there and tolerate whatever bullshit Ubisoft shoves down their throat so long as the graphics are pretty.

    I swear I can feel the condescension oooozing out from their corporate boardroom from thousands of miles away.

    Every single Ubisoft game would do better with sales if it didnt have Ubisofts name on it, I am quite confident in that.

    I love steep tho, sigh
