"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?

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] 10 points 19 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 18 hours ago

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

[–] telllos 1 points 18 hours ago

Outrageous!

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 15 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 15 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 15 hours ago

Certainly true, but we haven't stopped complaining.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 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] 8 points 17 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 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 17 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...

[–] Valmond 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Mental copies were leaked later.

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

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

[–] Squizzy 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 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 1 day 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 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

But not for leaked copies before official release.

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

The whole game is a critical bug

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

Because ubisoft doesnt know how to make good games anymore

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

What is it about this game though?

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool -3 points 21 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 19 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 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 minutes ago

If you can’t take being perceived don’t be so loud lmao. Nobody forced you to say dimwitted shit
