"This version does not represent the final state of the game" Ubisoft insists as if devs will miraculously fix everything players discover in a single month. Sometimes it takes me a month to get my coworkers to give my merge requests a first look.

Could be a much older dev version too.

And they are physical copies as well.

What are they going to do, overwrite the disks again?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I was under the impression physical copies of games were actually just licenses to download and play the real thing. It's pretty cool to know that consoles can still play (some?) games, in case of cataclysm.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

I'm not sure I've had a single console game where that's the case. Everything has multiple GBs to install from disc.

Closest is the Spyro Trilogy that only had the first of the games on the disc. But what else do you expect from Activision...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

With how much vitriol this game has been receiving whenever it’s mentioned I’d assumed it was already out and people had played it to completion to be able to espouse such views.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

I played it to completion (my uncle works at nintendo), and I can confirm that it's woke bullshit (there's both women AND black people in the game).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

You liar ! Sega makes Animal Crossing : Shadows, cuz nintendon't.

[–] telllos 1 points 15 hours ago

Outrageous!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Making gamers pick one or the other is peak baiting, and I'm here for the inevitable fury from people who think Elon Musk is a genius.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly it is a stroke of brilliance from Ubisoft. Bait the anti-woke crowd to drown out any legitimate complaints about your business practices or game design.

[–] MolochAlter 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Anyone who would complain about game design has already stopped buying or caring about Ubisoft products years ago.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Certainly true, but we haven't stopped complaining.

[–] Valmond 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Mental copies were leaked later.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Who liquefies all those things that leak in recent years anyway?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Does that mean the physical copies of this game actually have the full, playable game on them and it doesn't need some bullshit zero day patch to actually get up and running? That's actually amazing. That shit doesn't happen anymore.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago

It's apparently pretty rough and "doesn't represent final game quality", so get ready for the day one patch to fix exactly none of the issues in this build, and instead just ram a bunch of pointless funbucks in there instead.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool -2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

With all the money they have you’d think Ubisoft would rebuild this franchise from the ground up. New engine, new everything. I played mirage and it has the same buggy issues that the series has had since the start.

It’s just a reskin year after year

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You played the throwback game built on a "new engine, new everything" and you're still crying about it. It's exactly because they listen to dimwits like you (the lowest common denominator) that their games suck shit

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool 3 points 12 hours ago

It’s my fault cause I want my games to be better? I didn’t pay for it, i got it from the library.

Second point though, what causes you to respond so rudely and like a trashy person at a stranger because of video games? Is it the Internet and lack of face to face that makes you dehumanized and insult me over nothing or do you talk this way to people irl too?

[–] Squizzy 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I have been seeing a lot of gameplay talk, were their beta releases or something?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Stolen physical copies. Supposedly they postponed the game release last moment so it already got distributed and things started getting funny.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Which presumably means whatever last minute critical bug they discovered is not fixed in those physical copies and likely some others aren't fixed either.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It's gonna get the typical AAA treatment. 100GB day one patch

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

But not for leaked copies before official release.

[–] Czele -5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

The whole game is a critical bug

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Czele -1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Because ubisoft doesnt know how to make good games anymore

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

What is it about this game though?

[–] Czele -5 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

Same things as all new ubisoft games. Uninnovative, cash milking, pushing dei agenda. You know why this game was delayed right?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

pushing dei agenda

And there it is

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I guess the kind of innovation they're hoping to see from ubisoft is a WWII game from the axis perspective.

[–] Czele -2 points 17 hours ago

If You are happy with the state of ubi games this days then I envy You!

[–] Czele -3 points 18 hours ago

it is indeed

[–] Squizzy 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Oh i was with you until the nazi dog whistle, bootlicker

[–] [email protected] -1 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

You were with him in hating on random shit without justification until you noticed he was a nazi? I mean, good on you for noticing, but maybe reconsider... everything

[–] Czele 1 points 2 hours ago

You noticed what? Do not throw 'nazi' at people like its some random insult. Learn history and what it means. You can insult me all You want, but calling people You disagree with nazi is disrespectufl for all who had to suffer because of them

[–] Squizzy 2 points 11 hours ago

With him for his criticisms of ubisoft yeah, lets take a look at their recent output shall we? Butcher Star Wars IP, lazy reskins of sucessful IPs of their own and a new quadruple A failure of a pirates game.

Not to mention their terrible pricing tactics, microtranactions and dark patterns within their game designs.

Ill rethink nothing thanks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

Probably because of the woke mind virus!!111

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Czele -1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

In short: they got a lot of negative backlash. If You wish to know more please search the web. There are some yt videos and articles explaining all this in detail

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It feels like you’re dodging my very deliberate attempt to get you to elaborate on why you said what you said whiiiich kinda confirms my assumption about your why.

[–] Czele 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Then maybe do not play mouse and cat game with me and ask me straight what You want to know from me and not ask general questions made for search engines

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I’m trying to get you to own your statement instead of just a “oh you know that one thing I’m afraid to say out loud”

[–] Czele 1 points 2 hours ago

I dont know what You think i think and what You want me to say, so I will just let You play this 5d chess with Your head canon on Your own
