I think the last time I had genuine enthusiasm for an Ubisoft game was Rayman Legends because it felt so wild and vibrant and fun.
And looking at my last played time that was 2015, and it came out in 2013. So it's been a decade since I've cared about them.
They used to have talent who could craft a game so compelling I'd be at work wondering how I was going to get through certain sections of a platform game about a guy that doesn't have arms or legs.
I hear people sing praises for assassin's creed black flag, so I'll see if I can get that used at a local shop for a few bucks for either 360 or PS3, to see what the fuss is about there.
Now Ubisoft is just a place filled with people who work there just to tell me how terrible of a human being I am because I don't agree with their politics of shoving things in my face and demanding my attention when the last thing I want is being preached to by a cult.
Odyssey was the beginning of the end for them. It was a great game (albeit a departure from their normal game structure) but also incredibly woke. It must have been that Ubi's existing talent hadn't all been replaced with DEI hires yet, but there were enough of them to make the game super woke. They went into free fall after this though.
Black Flag was excellent and was before the woke shit took over. Funny thing, in BF there was a real world email that you could read which showed future plans for simulations. The one for AC Shadows was in a different era than the one they ended up using. Meaning they changed the lore to make sure Yasuke could be added in.
