I have a quintuple-A bridge I’d like to sell this guy

Not yet, but I have a plan to release coverage in the future. If you put a deposit down now I’ll give it to you sometime I determine in the future
This has big J. Wellington Wimpy “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today” vibes.
At a time when AAA often sucks so much, it sounds really out of touch to say your overpriced game is “quadruple-A”.
Xfinity “10G” energy
It sounds about as out of touch as their neurons.
Sucks that the idiots forcing these stupid ideas get buckets of money though.
I bet it’s just assassins creed.
Sail the seas, activate ice bergs to unlock the map, gather five million useless trinkets.
From what I read the game is pretty much a repurposed Black Flag naval gameplay.
I mean that is what it spun off from. It’s been in development hell all the way from then.
I was mostly joking because Ubisoft pretty much only has one game they reskin endlessly, but I’m somehow not surprised.
I played a closed beta quite a while back and it’s pretty much this. Was all set to play the whole weekend but only made it like 2 hrs in before uninstalling. it feels like just fetch quests, and checking off boxes, and I didn’t find it fun at all.
It’d have to be pretty damn compelling to not just play black flag again instead
Fuck me, that is some quadruple-A-level bullshit from our man Yves. I played the closed beta and I am sorry to say that this game is going to tank, hard. Its gameplay loop is waaaay too simplistic to be making those grandiose claims.
Just like battery, the more A it has the smaller it is, but the price stay the same or much more expensive.
Is that the same shit company that was telling us to get used to not owning games? Why would I spend $70 to borrow something they probably won’t finish making before release?
Why would I spend $70 to borrow something they probably won’t finish making before release?
So that you can hang around and wait for the talent in the community to fix it and make it at least closer to a game worth $70
You think Ubisoft games will have modding? Hahahaha no, no it will flop on launch and the live service elements will die within a year
Big ‘Comcast 10g’ vibes here.
Ubisoft is consistent with being on my blocked producers list on steam.
Wow it’s like almost every day I learn about a new feature Steam has lol
Holy shit I didn’t know you could do that.
Fuck yea! I’ve blocked Ubisoft, EA and a handful of other shoddy producers/their ilk. It’s not worth even seeing their offerings these days.
Xbox store needs this feature badly. If I click on another piece of kemco shovelware I’m going to fucking lose it.
MS loves to weigh their software down with bloat, I agree they need this feature but I don’t think they’ll take the financial loss to make it a thing.
Maybe it’s how long it’s been in development, maybe it’s how many times that they’ve changed direction, or maybe it’s just that Ubisoft just put so much garbage in their games, but I predict that this game is going to be a trainwreck.
I was intrigued when they first announced it, but now I’m just so fucking sick of Ubisoft and their bullshit that I’m now just curious to see just how much of a mess it turns out to be.
You mean when it was a game and not a shitty live service treadmill?
I’m going to keep eating the popcorn I got out for Suicide Squad.
Finished the campaign before the bucket, eh?
Oh, I don’t intend to play either game. I just enjoy watching games that are bad for the industry crash and burn in the market.
It’s literally sunk cost fallacy, they wasted so much money for this game, but always spent more instead of putting it in a drawer. Nobody cares about pirates anymore, and lot of ppl are tired of the live service games. Add to this that the Black Flag remake is in the works, so not many will have the urge to buy the game, and it will fail spectacularly.
oh shit we making shit up? ARMORED CORE 6 WAS SEPTUPPLED S.
Quadruple of $0 is how much they’ll get from me.
All AAA games and AAA studios are garbage.
Long live the indie game developer
FromSoft, Santa Monica?
I don’t like FromSoft games personally, but I can recognize that they are well-made and aren’t problematic in the ways that other major AAA studios are.
So I’ll just acknowledge that of course there will be some notable exceptions, despite my hyperbolic use of “all” in my original comment. I’m a huge fan of BotW and TotK and Nintendo certainly counts as a AAA studio, but I think those games are exemplary and also non-problematic in the ways other major studios are. But despite these very real and very notable exceptions, I think my statement still stands pretty well as a general rule.
Oh and the only Santa Monica games I’ve played are Twisted Metal: Black (2001) and God of War (2005) so I’ll simply abstain from an opinion on them as it doesn’t seem fair to me to judge them based on experience that is now two decades old.
edit: also I see you were downvoted and while I know that doesn’t matter, just want you to know that I didn’t downvote you and I don’t think you said anything inappropriate or off-topic so I wish whoever did had not.
FromSoft and Santa Mónica release amazing AAA games and are always respectful to their player base. GoW Ragnarok just released a free DLC a month ago. FromSoft charges 60 dollars for games that have 200 times the content of other games that charge 70 dollars. Zero micro transactions. DLCs are always mind blowing and at great prices.
I really have no idea why they downvoted, these two companies are just good guys. I’d love to hear if they have something negative to say about these companies.
Oh yes. I will buy this when the price drops to five bucks.
I probably still won’t. Ubisoft games just aren’t my cup of tea.
I’ll grab it in four years, when they give it away for free. And never ever play it.
I hate the term “Quadruple-A”. The entire point of Triple-A was to be the biggest of the big. There’s no cap on that size.
What if we took the A’s yeah? What if we took the A’s - to eleven?
The 4th A is for “Assholes”
Sure it is, Yves. If any game would qualify as quadruple A it’s the Black Flag spinoff that’s been in development hell for years. Genuinely curious how long this game lasts, even if it does get good reviews and finds an audience. Feels like Ubisoft would have cancelled this ages ago if the government of Singapore hadn’t been providing subsidies to help fund the project.
It would be great if it was a black flag spinoff. A single player pirate action rpg. But nooo. It has to be a live service multiplayer game without any soul
Yves is a douche canoe.
It’s not even a subsidies thing so much as they are legally obligated to release a game for Singapore
Their AAA games are mid so I suspect their ‘quadruple-A’ games are also mid. Price 'em how you want, I’ll pass anyway, thanks Yves.
