Ahhh, the famous Ubisoft launcher... The only launcher in the history of launchers with a non-functional ''remember me'' option. And it's been that way for several years now. How hard can it be honestly? I think even a monkey could learn how to fix it just by watching coding tutorials on youtube for 2 weeks. Even Joe Biden would remember my e-mail and password more reliably than Ubisoft launcher. Often times i completely give up from playing a game by Ubisoft because i always have to log-in and do the 2-step verification (which was forced on me in order to play R6 online) Sometimes i feel like Joe Biden when trying to log in into Uplay.. ''T-t-that that.. That thing... Anyway..'' and i close the launcher.
Uplay is the least of their worries. Most of these "not steam" storefronts dont have any of their original issues anymore, their current problem is the fact they they exist in the first place. Except Rockstar Launcher, that's actually terrible
I mainly use steam to play a couple of games as I’m quite bored with the games that come out nowadays. Once or twice a year I’ll start a Ubisoft (for EA it’s the same) game, it’ll prompt me to login on uplay and I just give up playing

They had some awesome games when they started,i got disappointed after Farcry Primal but when 6 came out although it wasn't perfect it wasn't that bad. I played Watchdogs Legion and my first thought was this game has great graphics but looks repetitive but after some time i can actually say the only better one i know is Sleeping Dogs and that one is dead now.

I agree. Some of this speculation is wishful thinking. Ubi is like the Disney of video games, a soulless corporation that is a shell of its former self, so a lot of former fans want to see them fail, but they are too big for it to happen anytime soon due to a legacy of money producing brands.

when children stop preordering, gaming will get back to what it was. companies have no incentive to do literally anything after launch because they pull in hundreds of millions before the game is even playable. all they have to do is make a good trailer and the children cant waste mommies money fast enough. Halo 3 ODST released in 2009, tricking everyone that pre-ordered into buying a halo game with literally no multiplayer. lets see how happy everyone is with this wizard game once its been out for two weeks
Sometimes I wonder if early access and pre orders should only be legally available to games from companies who's financial index proves that the game would not be able to launch otherwise.
@@2hotflavored666 for a harry potter game yeah….but for an open world game, its kinda weak imo, id give it like a 7.5-maybe an 8 from all the gameplay ive seen from various twitch streamers
I mean, IMO, ODST is a bad example because ODST is one of the best Halo games of the lot. Certainly it's in my top three. It may not have multiplayer but it knocks that singleplayer campaign so far out of the park you can't see it anymore. If anything, it's a shame that later Halos started failing to match up to the example ODST set in that department.

Funny thing is, they see how bad their recent games have been doing and yet they’re just like “Why doesn’t it work, it’s modern and it has everything kids love nowadays”. I mean, do they even look back at their previous, successful, stuff? Where’s the innovation? Where’s the “realism”? Where is the fun? Assassin’s Creed aren’t about assassin’s anymore. Tom Clancy titles are nothing of what made them special. There’s no Rayman. And almost every game has that same soulless vibe to them. Worlds that aren’t believable, forgettable copy pasted characters. Ubi is basically nothing of what they used to be. Yet they continue to copy paste the games that didn’t work and add a layer of monetization…

ubisoft went from a company that revolutionized shooters with Far Cry 2, Strategy games with Anno and Stealth games with Asassins Creed 1&2 to a company that basically makes bootlegs of popular games or even their own games.
i mean a ubisoft dev flamed elden ring bc it wasnt telling you clearly where you have to go and bc the ui is apperantly shit, ah and its too hard. he basically said its not playerfriendly and he doesnt understand why elden ring does so good but their games fail. that kinda showed me in what state they were
I don't know the real reason why they abandoned Rayman, an EXTREMELY consistent platformer franchise, maybe dumped in the favour of the Rabbids who are the Minions of the gaming industry. I just wish Rayman got a fresh new game.
Hate to see the company like this. Of all the massive publishers (Valve, EA, Activision), Ubisoft deserved better for actually supporting small yet dedicated communities and being willing to experiment with new concepts.
About 4 years ago I'd have been sad to see Ubisoft sink, because it was still noticeable that there were a lot of people at that company who were very passionate about making good games and tried to have their way despite the management. But it seems management won. Let it sink.
9:31 Fenyx Rising was actually the only Ubisoft title in a long time where I felt like they atleast tried to create something passionate the game has such a chill tone and DAMN THAT SOUNDTRACK IS GOOD Aside from that, I agree with video completely. I can't stand to see another open world Assassins Creed with 309124 Questions Marks covering the Map. Games like Elden Ring or RDR,2 had a much more interesting Open world simply because the exploration and everything the Open world has to offer isnt served to you on a silver platter. You actually had to.....EXPLORE the Map and not just wander from one question mark to the next one.
I never understood people (minority) problem with questions marks on minimaps, first off all you realize they arent mandatory right? If you want to go there ou go if not never ever touch them the entire game, and secondly, they re literally exploration because the only way for you to even know what it is you have to go and EXPLORE it lmao
@@y0Diitz Yes, but, somehow, AC1+2 were fun without a billion question marks on the map. And every AC title which came out in the last eight years sucked *hard,* regardless whether you ignored the question marks or not. The point is that original content had been replaced by unmemorable, generic, grindy stuff. Just a lot more of this unremarkable grind, so at least players won't complain that the "story" is only good for five minutes of gameplay.
@@klausstock8020 what? That doesn't confirm anything this is about tastes and preferences and that's personal, I LOVE AC 2, 3 and black flag, and find Brotherhood extremely overlooked by people, but I also LOVE Origins and Odyssey, (can't comment on Valhalla as I haven't played it), I would even go as far to say that both Origins and Odyssey are better VIDEO GAMES than any of the Ezio and Altaïr games but I would agree that those were much better ASSASSINS CREED games, but ain't one of those annoying elitist nostalgia riders cunts that cant take change and evolution and are stuck in the past while i enjoy all types of games, and have a open mind and cam see past nostalgia but that's just me doe it seems.
My theory here as an ex game-dev is that during the plague years they couldn't make all their employees work 180 hour weeks because they were at home, so it just revealed how much underpaid labour is really needed to make games. Take that away, and you get no games in a reasonable timeframe. Plus industry turn-over during this time was brutal, a lot of people left the games industry.
What are you talking about? How much unpaid/underpaid what? Games and software makes SO much money that the unpaid work hours where never needed! At worst the games had not made AS MUCH stupid amount of money if people where paid for overtime and such. And if the game got more time to be worked on? Even less stupid amount of money but still ENOUGH to be profitable. That if the game was actually good so people WANT to go and buy it after the time and work investment is put into it. There is NO way anything but less amount of money where now going to some rich people that do not need to work a single day more in there life and still be better of then 99% of people.
I actually really love a lot of ubis games (especially the older ones) and I hope they start holding themselves to higher standards again, I hate playing a game series and seeing the quality slowly go down
I hope they change and get back on track. They're one of my favorite publishers and I still like their games, but I wish they go back to a point where many will think like that again in the gaming community. :-(
I remember back when Ubi used to make Prince of Persia games, I remember my first one from them specifically that I played being on the SNES. How the mighty have fallen.
I miss the times when when you hear "boss" in a game you were expecting a cool villain to challenge you. Now the only Bosses I fight are the graphics menu and engine.
Saw this coming 10-15 years ago. After trying and failing to contact them via customer service lines that don't actually exist, I reflected on their embrace of Uplay and how it clearly wasn't driven by a team who wanted to make players enjoy using it. Say what you want about EA, but Ubisoft is worse. Barely, but still worse. EA would still try new things, controlling as they were. Ubisoft? EA but a meatgrinder for content. Not a surprise.
Amazing video but all it did was make me miss the old days. When you said “Ubisoft would announce new games and id be like this” and showed the picture of the kid cheering I felt that in my soul I can’t even tell you the last time I watched a dev livestream for a reveal of a game or something for a game besides project zomboid. Also Peter Jackson’s King Kong on ps2 scared the shit out of me when I was younger 😂 loved that game!
Ubisoft is in a failure loop basically and proves that successful mediocrity is actually more harmful to the industry than complete trash. They saw what is successful in Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed 2 for example and they tried to replicate it multiple times (even in different IPs like Watch Dogs) to the point where people just saw through that and many of them refused to buy their games. Following stupid market trends didn't help. It's understandable why they put microtransactions into their games recently. That's where the failure loop comes in. Many people didn't buy their games because Ubisoft were literally suffering from success with their mediocrity, so they put microtransactions to minimalize their losses but people didn't buy their games because of microtransactions. Also they have 20.000+ employess for no reason. EA has like 12.000 and they have every reason to have that many. Ubisoft has bigger employee numbers than Activision/Blizzard, EA, Bandai Namco and Nintendo just to name a few. For what?
I was a huge siege fan. I played for hours every day, without skipping a day, for like 3 years. I'd come home after school, or after work and still make some time to play. On my days off I'd be sweating my nuts off, playing with a bag of chips, and 4 cans of peace tea to keep me going all night. I bought all the season passes because they felt pretty worth it for someone who played religiously. Eventually the greed sorta plagued siege after a while, and after the problems kept stacking up, I decided to just give up on the game. I'll play it every so often, but it just ain't the same. I just stopped giving them my time/money. Cuz if we keep giving them money, they won't have a reason to stop.
As someone who has boykotted Ubishit for the past ~13 years due to the lack of quality and methods of preying on vulunable people - IF they really disappear, I'm going to celebrate. Still don't think it's gonna happen because too many people don't care about the "behind the scenes" and just buy anything. Or even worse: Are young enough to have been raised with this game design and just don't know it any different. BUT ONE CAN STILL DREAM! Oh and sorry for the 50k people who would lose their jobs, but since programmers are highly sought after it's probably gonna be a soft fall.
Regarding their studios over the world... I met some employees and they don't do shit, from what they explained me they just replace the old materials in the games, items and stuff and stick a different name on the game. Yay new assassasssasssins creed. Didn't play a new Ubisoft game since watch dogs 1
Be_a_Light brought up in chat that pre order incentives companies to rush launch and removes incentive to produce quality. Sometimes I wonder if early access and pre orders should only be legally available to games from companies who can financially prove that the game would not be able to launch otherwise.
In situations like these we can get either a really good game for once or see another hated company to finally fall and give some small games to grow out of it’s corpse Both outcomes are quite good in my opinion
yeah, ghost recon games have their own charm, until they released breakpoint. Wildlands is actually 8/10 game , it's not perfect but it's definitely fun to play
I miss the days when Ubisoft pushing visuals to it's limit (ACUnity, WD1, THE DIVISION 1, R6 SIEGE) even though they got downgraded cuz consoles hardware at the time were suxx. CMON UBISOFT WAKE THE FCK UP! DO UR MAGIC! BE AMBITIOUS LIKE U USED TO! THIS IS THE NEXT GEN ERA! MAKE US HYPE AGAIN!!
Hell, the last Ubi title I was genuinely hyped for was Div1. There's next to nothing that could come close to it, when it comes to both PVP and PVE nowadays, as in my opinion it was peak Multiplayer.
They've been a very inconsistent company for quite some time. But they have made some gems on and off like Child of Light, Valiant Hearts, Far Cry 3, Steep, Rayman, Riders Republic etc. They've made great games before, they can do it again. But with the way things are going over there who knows?
381 subs 😮 show him some love people this stuff is hard to make. You have no idea the hours that go into this stuff , to creator never give up on your dream!
Aaaaand a return to anno being forgotten about (at least from what I've seen DLC for 1800 has continued to be pretty nice, impactful, and releasing three times per year?)
@@hawken796 yes! I moreso meant to comment on most commentators not mentioning the series pretty much at all? I suppose it's because it's too far out of public consciousness, but how 1800 is running seems so counter to most things going on at ubisoft?
@@doge7906 you can't really just say campaign because rdr2 on the whole is a cash grab. Halo 1 was them getting the custom base and the others were for the money along with subsequent releases, selling the movie rights etc. The rest all had to be to a certain standard to compete with their rivals but at the end of the day they are all companies run for profit, not to satisfy us commoners 😂
I remember when like 13 years old me was proud to call myself ubisoft fanboy back in 2012, after great AC 2, brotherhood, reveleation and 3, Far cry 3 and many more now 23 years old I hope for their bankruptcy how time have changed
This was an impeccable video and I wish you had more subscribers. My only nit-pick right now is Legion being “eeeeehhh.” If you stuck around and gave WD1 and the franchise a chance since 2014, it’s actually a total disgrace to everything Ubisoft was building up to. The last 2 games, regardless of what you may think, had a big level of consistency and feeling that still drags players in to this day (just play Invasions on either two games, you’ll still find TONS of active singleplayer sessions). Legion, however, didn’t even give you the option to invade a singleplayer session. A generic game to the outsider, yes, but deep in the machinations of everything was a horrible disgrace and the only guys backing it to this day is the subreddit that KNOW Ubisoft practically killed the franchise with Legion. …Don’t worry, I still have not lost the point of the video, haha. But sheesh.
I agree. WD:L is such a disappointment and I am sad that they removed any possibility of attachment to any of characters by not making any. Seems like such a crapout. WD2 had an alive-feeling world and characters but with Legion, Ubi took all of that and threw it into the trash. For what? Different powerups I guess? Most of which are useless anyway, as you really only need a hitman character to beat the whole game. Finishing the game didn't feel rewarding because it doesn't even instill the feeling of fighting for your freedom alongside others. The world just seems empty without any one or maybe more character(s) (like in gta 5) to sympathise with. I didn't even bother with the online, because that just seemed like such a boring, unfun grind and an overall waste of time, since the networking was awful.
I feel sorry for all the people hired by these companies that will end up losing their job, but this is necessary to bring a new change into the gaming industry, these scummy practices needs to end!
Genuine good video, you hit it off pretty well. Subbed and hope to see more content from you bro. All i'm hoping is what ubisoft have in case of emergency breakable glass, where there's a button which releases new sprinter cell game. But guess with its current ethics, i am afraid how they're gonna massacre my boy lol.
I agree with everything apart from what you said about Immortals Fenyx Rising. I get that it's easily overlooked among all the recent bs Ubisoft has released but I wouldn't call it generic. Yes, it has some mechanics suspiciously similar to Breath of the Wild and it has microtransactions (which btw are heavily toned down compared to AC) but it just works as a game. By that I mean it doesn't feel like some hastily put together scam. It's charming even. Lots of jokes that usually actually land, a diverse map with many unique puzzles to solve and things to uncover and enjoyable traversal. All in all as opposed to the usual Ubisoft titles it genuinely feels like people made something for players to enjoy, not just buy.
This needed to happen. They need to experience this downfall to value what they have lost.
What ends up happening is they'll be bought by a larger company and a chunk of the employees will be fired. That's about it.
They should remaster Splinter cell 1,2,3 like mafia 1 definitive edition or of that quality, then create a new game at some point. they can do the same thing with assassin's creed. They definitely should not create a new Ip but stick to what they know and try to grow the fan base of their already existing games.
I hope so
why because they make the same garbage every time? if thats the case fromsoft lazy ass should lose everything to they have been making the same trash for a decade but nobody brings it up but we are quick to shit on ubisoft
EA and blizzard need to suffer the same thing, and konami, all of them have gotten too big and need to suffer a major loss to wake up(and i mean to the point the companies nearly fail)
indie game developers, the people who actually make games
sure but most of them cant polish their game cuz of pirates or low budget ubisoft can halp small developers but ubisoft suck and developers most of the time dont want boss over head
And then they succeed and become the next triple A studio that will inevitably fall into money>product mentality.
The cycle of life in action.

when children stop preordering, gaming will get back to what it was. companies have no incentive to do literally anything after launch because they pull in hundreds of millions before the game is even playable. all they have to do is make a good trailer and the children cant waste mommies money fast enough. Halo 3 ODST released in 2009, tricking everyone that pre-ordered into buying a halo game with literally no multiplayer. lets see how happy everyone is with this wizard game once its been out for two weeks
Sometimes I wonder if early access and pre orders should only be legally available to games from companies who's financial index proves that the game would not be able to launch otherwise.
Surprisingly, the wizard game is pretty good lmao.
@@2hotflavored666 for a harry potter game yeah….but for an open world game, its kinda weak imo, id give it like a 7.5-maybe an 8 from all the gameplay ive seen from various twitch streamers
I mean, IMO, ODST is a bad example because ODST is one of the best Halo games of the lot. Certainly it's in my top three. It may not have multiplayer but it knocks that singleplayer campaign so far out of the park you can't see it anymore. If anything, it's a shame that later Halos started failing to match up to the example ODST set in that department.
It's not all children....exactly. it's manbabies too
If Ubisoft falls, that's actually a good thing. Then maybe the rest will not make stupid decisions every god damn Time
No bro, do you have any idea how many employees will lose their job. I just hope the stupid management comeback somehow to their senses and stop being dumb only then everybody can be saved
Yes, because having less competition and being bought out by bigger pockets will surely teach those with bigger pockets a lesson. 🙄
Ubiscum's a criminal rack run by scum for scum they deserve to go the way of atari so that individuals with the creative drive to make videogames that're fun in the long run fill in the void they leave behind once they are wiped from the face of the gaming circuit.
@@gmanismysugardaddy those workers will find jobs - don't worry about them. it's better to have a bad leader go away than to keep making excuses why his soldiers should be allowed to keep eating grass.
@@questworldmatrix lol - the world is NOT filled with software developers... believe it or not. once those devs are free - they will get more job offers from a place that might appreciate them more.
do not speak as if you worked as a developer if you haven't done the work. it's not a common job at all - there's assumptions like you didn't know about contracts we fight for - our own contracts... you can get paid and we usually do very well regardless of the situation we are put it.... we tend to be people who find solutions, not cry about them.... no time for that.
Funny thing is, they see how bad their recent games have been doing and yet they’re just like “Why doesn’t it work, it’s modern and it has everything kids love nowadays”.
I mean, do they even look back at their previous, successful, stuff? Where’s the innovation? Where’s the “realism”? Where is the fun?
Assassin’s Creed aren’t about assassin’s anymore. Tom Clancy titles are nothing of what made them special. There’s no Rayman. And almost every game has that same soulless vibe to them. Worlds that aren’t believable, forgettable copy pasted characters.
Ubi is basically nothing of what they used to be. Yet they continue to copy paste the games that didn’t work and add a layer of monetization…
Not to mention us fans of the might and magic franchise. Relegated to crappy mobile games because strategy and old school RPGs don't sell as well
"BuT iT wOrKs FoR eLeCtRoNiC ArTs!"
I really miss the old ubisoft
like, who is actually playing AAA games nowadays? It feels like the indie games genre just has way better games for cheaper
The pandemic was probably the best think to happen to the indie scene. Most of my steam library is indy or retro.
True, this year e3 will be a good place for indie to show up as a lot of big studios are not taking part
Also epic store giving away bunch of indie games for free for past 5 years also contributed to it.
MH Rise is excellent - but it's capcom and they usually associated with quality.
You can't make GOW Ragnarok as an indie dev. That is why people still play AAA games
The biggest joke about the AC "Reboot" is the fact that there is barely any parkour and you can literally climb any wall
What AC reboot?
*what*
Huh?
He’s talking about “ac” origins odyssey and Valhalla
Climbing any wall isn’t a bad thing
Incredibly well edited, written and entertaining video. Really surprised your channel just launched with the quality you’ve got here. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve got coming up in the future and how quickly your channel grows. 👍🏼
Such a massive gaming company that hasn't made a game in over a year. These are truly crazy times we live in.

You caught me off guard with the Far Cry 5 coming out 5 years ago. I still haven't played it and it still feels new.
The higher up of game dev companies should be filled with everyone who understand video games. Yves doesn't looks like someone who spent time playing games beside minesweeper.

2:08 damn,he wasn't kidding when he said "ready yourselves".
ubisoft went from a company that revolutionized shooters with Far Cry 2, Strategy games with Anno and Stealth games with Asassins Creed 1&2 to a company that basically makes bootlegs of popular games or even their own games.
I actually enjoyed what I played of skull and bones, but I haven't played a ubisoft game for years
i mean a ubisoft dev flamed elden ring bc it wasnt telling you clearly where you have to go and bc the ui is apperantly shit, ah and its too hard. he basically said its not playerfriendly and he doesnt understand why elden ring does so good but their games fail. that kinda showed me in what state they were
Finally, a video that fills me with hope. So hilarious that the leading voices behind raising the price of AAA games haven't made one in years.
I don't know the real reason why they abandoned Rayman, an EXTREMELY consistent platformer franchise, maybe dumped in the favour of the Rabbids who are the Minions of the gaming industry. I just wish Rayman got a fresh new game.
Thank you for another masterpiece, videogamedunkey. I love this video! Much love!
Seriously. I thought I was watching a dunkey video
man... ubisoft made the king kong game? god that hits me in the gut
Hate to see the company like this. Of all the massive publishers (Valve, EA, Activision), Ubisoft deserved better for actually supporting small yet dedicated communities and being willing to experiment with new concepts.
When constantly chasing trends vs being unique and innovative finally catches up... All the major publishers are struggling now...
About 4 years ago I'd have been sad to see Ubisoft sink, because it was still noticeable that there were a lot of people at that company who were very passionate about making good games and tried to have their way despite the management. But it seems management won.
Let it sink.
The Division Heartland is actually releasing at a good time this year when everyone is making Extraction shooters
9:31 Fenyx Rising was actually the only Ubisoft title in a long time where I felt like they atleast tried to create something passionate
the game has such a chill tone and DAMN THAT SOUNDTRACK IS GOOD
Aside from that, I agree with video completely. I can't stand to see another open world Assassins Creed with 309124 Questions Marks covering the Map. Games like Elden Ring or RDR,2 had a much more interesting Open world simply because the exploration and everything the Open world has to offer isnt served to you on a silver platter. You actually had to.....EXPLORE the Map and not just wander from one question mark to the next one.
I never understood people (minority) problem with questions marks on minimaps, first off all you realize they arent mandatory right? If you want to go there ou go if not never ever touch them the entire game, and secondly, they re literally exploration because the only way for you to even know what it is you have to go and EXPLORE it lmao
@@y0Diitz Yes, but, somehow, AC1+2 were fun without a billion question marks on the map. And every AC title which came out in the last eight years sucked *hard,* regardless whether you ignored the question marks or not.
The point is that original content had been replaced by unmemorable, generic, grindy stuff. Just a lot more of this unremarkable grind, so at least players won't complain that the "story" is only good for five minutes of gameplay.
@@klausstock8020 ok Klaus go ahead and load up your beloved ACs and enjoy them, just like I enjoy the newer ones.
@@y0Diitz That confirms that you can either like the old ones *or* the new ones, but not both. Same name, totally different game.
@@klausstock8020 what? That doesn't confirm anything this is about tastes and preferences and that's personal, I LOVE AC 2, 3 and black flag, and find Brotherhood extremely overlooked by people, but I also LOVE Origins and Odyssey, (can't comment on Valhalla as I haven't played it), I would even go as far to say that both Origins and Odyssey are better VIDEO GAMES than any of the Ezio and Altaïr games but I would agree that those were much better ASSASSINS CREED games, but ain't one of those annoying elitist nostalgia riders cunts that cant take change and evolution and are stuck in the past while i enjoy all types of games, and have a open mind and cam see past nostalgia but that's just me doe it seems.
My theory here as an ex game-dev is that during the plague years they couldn't make all their employees work 180 hour weeks because they were at home, so it just revealed how much underpaid labour is really needed to make games. Take that away, and you get no games in a reasonable timeframe. Plus industry turn-over during this time was brutal, a lot of people left the games industry.
What are you talking about? How much unpaid/underpaid what? Games and software makes SO much money that the unpaid work hours where never needed! At worst the games had not made AS MUCH stupid amount of money if people where paid for overtime and such. And if the game got more time to be worked on? Even less stupid amount of money but still ENOUGH to be profitable. That if the game was actually good so people WANT to go and buy it after the time and work investment is put into it.
There is NO way anything but less amount of money where now going to some rich people that do not need to work a single day more in there life and still be better of then 99% of people.
I actually really love a lot of ubis games (especially the older ones) and I hope they start holding themselves to higher standards again, I hate playing a game series and seeing the quality slowly go down
I absolutely died at 5:34 when the supreme jacket appeared LMAOOOO such subtle but amazing comedy
I hope they change and get back on track. They're one of my favorite publishers and I still like their games, but I wish they go back to a point where many will think like that again in the gaming community. :-(
great video! love seeing small creators in my feed.
It just sucks, they are sitting on franchises SplinterCell, Rayman and Beyond Good and Evil. Hopefully these get bought and published.
I remember back when Ubi used to make Prince of Persia games, I remember my first one from them specifically that I played being on the SNES.
How the mighty have fallen.
One of the best things that could happen to the industry is ubisoft going away
I don´t believe they will go completely down
I miss the times when when you hear "boss" in a game you were expecting a cool villain to challenge you. Now the only Bosses I fight are the graphics menu and engine.
It was GREAT...... but GREAT thing don't last long🗿💔
Saw this coming 10-15 years ago. After trying and failing to contact them via customer service lines that don't actually exist, I reflected on their embrace of Uplay and how it clearly wasn't driven by a team who wanted to make players enjoy using it. Say what you want about EA, but Ubisoft is worse. Barely, but still worse. EA would still try new things, controlling as they were. Ubisoft? EA but a meatgrinder for content. Not a surprise.
Amazing video but all it did was make me miss the old days. When you said “Ubisoft would announce new games and id be like this” and showed the picture of the kid cheering I felt that in my soul I can’t even tell you the last time I watched a dev livestream for a reveal of a game or something for a game besides project zomboid. Also Peter Jackson’s King Kong on ps2 scared the shit out of me when I was younger 😂 loved that game!
Ubisoft is in a failure loop basically and proves that successful mediocrity is actually more harmful to the industry than complete trash. They saw what is successful in Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed 2 for example and they tried to replicate it multiple times (even in different IPs like Watch Dogs) to the point where people just saw through that and many of them refused to buy their games. Following stupid market trends didn't help.
It's understandable why they put microtransactions into their games recently. That's where the failure loop comes in. Many people didn't buy their games because Ubisoft were literally suffering from success with their mediocrity, so they put microtransactions to minimalize their losses but people didn't buy their games because of microtransactions.
Also they have 20.000+ employess for no reason. EA has like 12.000 and they have every reason to have that many. Ubisoft has bigger employee numbers than Activision/Blizzard, EA, Bandai Namco and Nintendo just to name a few. For what?
The hyperscape Beta was doodoo how did they have twelve battle royals in development and ended up with that one coming out on top
😆
I will never forgive them for what they did to Assassin's Creed.
1:03 ohhh that dude is drinking mate!
I still remember the "to be continued" at the end of the third Brothers In Arms game. Half of my life ago. I'm still waiting.

Ubisoft has ruined everything it has touched. I remember the days when R6 and AC were fun games, those are long gone
I was a huge siege fan. I played for hours every day, without skipping a day, for like 3 years. I'd come home after school, or after work and still make some time to play. On my days off I'd be sweating my nuts off, playing with a bag of chips, and 4 cans of peace tea to keep me going all night. I bought all the season passes because they felt pretty worth it for someone who played religiously. Eventually the greed sorta plagued siege after a while, and after the problems kept stacking up, I decided to just give up on the game. I'll play it every so often, but it just ain't the same. I just stopped giving them my time/money. Cuz if we keep giving them money, they won't have a reason to stop.
I've hoped for the closure of Ubisoft for the last 3 years
regardless of quality think it's just time to grow up, and get more productive hobbies
Keep uploading stuff like this and you're gonna get big
Wow, can't believe this is your first video. Super well-made!
You know you're getting old when people call out games for ripping off Overwatch without calling out Overwatch for ripping off Team Fortress 2.
As someone who has boykotted Ubishit for the past ~13 years due to the lack of quality and methods of preying on vulunable people - IF they really disappear, I'm going to celebrate. Still don't think it's gonna happen because too many people don't care about the "behind the scenes" and just buy anything. Or even worse: Are young enough to have been raised with this game design and just don't know it any different. BUT ONE CAN STILL DREAM! Oh and sorry for the 50k people who would lose their jobs, but since programmers are highly sought after it's probably gonna be a soft fall.
Regarding their studios over the world... I met some employees and they don't do shit, from what they explained me they just replace the old materials in the games, items and stuff and stick a different name on the game. Yay new assassasssasssins creed. Didn't play a new Ubisoft game since watch dogs 1
Be_a_Light brought up in chat that pre order incentives companies to rush launch and removes incentive to produce quality.
Sometimes I wonder if early access and pre orders should only be legally available to games from companies who can financially prove that the game would not be able to launch otherwise.

Great video for such a small channel! Great editing.
Appreciate your feedback😊, will try my best
In situations like these we can get either a really good game for once or see another hated company to finally fall and give some small games to grow out of it’s corpse
Both outcomes are quite good in my opinion

ubisoft's downfall:🗿
Ghost Recon Wildlands is actually one of the most badass games ever made IMO and its sad that there will probably never be another one.

I miss the days when Ubisoft pushing visuals to it's limit (ACUnity, WD1, THE DIVISION 1, R6 SIEGE) even though they got downgraded cuz consoles hardware at the time were suxx.
CMON UBISOFT WAKE THE FCK UP! DO UR MAGIC! BE AMBITIOUS LIKE U USED TO! THIS IS THE NEXT GEN ERA! MAKE US HYPE AGAIN!!
Hell, the last Ubi title I was genuinely hyped for was Div1. There's next to nothing that could come close to it, when it comes to both PVP and PVE nowadays, as in my opinion it was peak Multiplayer.
First time watching ur vids man. It was great a good amount of laughs and great info really enjoyed u earned my follow. 👍🏽
ya I remember having fun playing video games, it was last night playing dark and darker.
Honestly Ive always found them a little lacking. They have big, appealing ideas but in practice their games are very repetitive
They've been a very inconsistent company for quite some time. But they have made some gems on and off like Child of Light, Valiant Hearts, Far Cry 3, Steep, Rayman, Riders Republic etc. They've made great games before, they can do it again. But with the way things are going over there who knows?
who's to say the devs of 10 years past are still there now? with the creative freedom or necessary direction to create something great again?
Everyone knows, they can't. It's really that black and white
The company you knew is gone, long gone
that same dev who makes that game were gone
381 subs 😮 show him some love people this stuff is hard to make. You have no idea the hours that go into this stuff , to creator never give up on your dream!
funny how this pops up in my feed alongside a ubisoft livestream currntly happening
Aaaaand a return to anno being forgotten about (at least from what I've seen DLC for 1800 has continued to be pretty nice, impactful, and releasing three times per year?)
I don't think we need an anno game every 2/3 years. Just need one when there's something new to give us.
@@hawken796 yes! I moreso meant to comment on most commentators not mentioning the series pretty much at all? I suppose it's because it's too far out of public consciousness, but how 1800 is running seems so counter to most things going on at ubisoft?

This was an impeccable video and I wish you had more subscribers.
My only nit-pick right now is Legion being “eeeeehhh.” If you stuck around and gave WD1 and the franchise a chance since 2014, it’s actually a total disgrace to everything Ubisoft was building up to. The last 2 games, regardless of what you may think, had a big level of consistency and feeling that still drags players in to this day (just play Invasions on either two games, you’ll still find TONS of active singleplayer sessions).
Legion, however, didn’t even give you the option to invade a singleplayer session. A generic game to the outsider, yes, but deep in the machinations of everything was a horrible disgrace and the only guys backing it to this day is the subreddit that KNOW Ubisoft practically killed the franchise with Legion.
…Don’t worry, I still have not lost the point of the video, haha. But sheesh.
I agree. WD:L is such a disappointment and I am sad that they removed any possibility of attachment to any of characters by not making any. Seems like such a crapout. WD2 had an alive-feeling world and characters but with Legion, Ubi took all of that and threw it into the trash. For what? Different powerups I guess? Most of which are useless anyway, as you really only need a hitman character to beat the whole game. Finishing the game didn't feel rewarding because it doesn't even instill the feeling of fighting for your freedom alongside others. The world just seems empty without any one or maybe more character(s) (like in gta 5) to sympathise with. I didn't even bother with the online, because that just seemed like such a boring, unfun grind and an overall waste of time, since the networking was awful.
I feel sorry for all the people hired by these companies that will end up losing their job, but this is necessary to bring a new change into the gaming industry, these scummy practices needs to end!
yeah and what the Impact? Nothing.EA and Activision are still big af
Genuine good video, you hit it off pretty well. Subbed and hope to see more content from you bro. All i'm hoping is what ubisoft have in case of emergency breakable glass, where there's a button which releases new sprinter cell game. But guess with its current ethics, i am afraid how they're gonna massacre my boy lol.
I agree with everything apart from what you said about Immortals Fenyx Rising. I get that it's easily overlooked among all the recent bs Ubisoft has released but I wouldn't call it generic. Yes, it has some mechanics suspiciously similar to Breath of the Wild and it has microtransactions (which btw are heavily toned down compared to AC) but it just works as a game. By that I mean it doesn't feel like some hastily put together scam. It's charming even. Lots of jokes that usually actually land, a diverse map with many unique puzzles to solve and things to uncover and enjoyable traversal. All in all as opposed to the usual Ubisoft titles it genuinely feels like people made something for players to enjoy, not just buy.
