      Watch dogs is only about Aiden Pearce the Vigilante or the Fox he shows many characteristics of hat hackers like white hat hacker who is the ethical hacker and the black hat hacker who only inflicts chaos for personal gain or excitement IRL.So in the first game the cosplay is real and in the second with Marcus Holloway too but Watch Dogs legion was one of the biggest flops I 've ever seen since in gaming in general.

    In my honest opinion, what truly needs to change about Ubisoft is the people in charge, CEO, executives, all of it.
    From his insanely delusional statements, like Skull and Bones being a AAAA experience or how we don't really " own " digital games ( which is a sentiment all companies share, there's just an obvious reason why no one says this out loud ), it's as if the people leading Ubisoft are living in a separate reality of their own.
    Ironically, for how much Ubisoft seems disconnected from their fans at times, this is the company with the most amount of online communication, with devs like Darby Mcdevitt interacting with the AC subreddit from time to time and other instances of the company searching for honest feedback.
    Which brings me to the recently put out memo from Yves Guillemot to the Ubisoft staff, where he basically admits that Star Wars Outlaws was released unfinished and would be fixed by following patches, he just trusted that sales would be good enough that people wouldn't pay much mind to the game's broken state, which was basically what prompted him to delay Shadows.
    In short, it's obvious to me that Ubisoft is packed full of extremely talented developers and writers, and whenever they actually put their minds to it, they create amazing products ( the stark contrast between WD Legion's campaign and dlc storylines are proof of what i'm saying ), but no amount of talent can hold together a company that's just poorly led and administrated by delusional individuals that are completely disconnected from their fanbases and consumers.
    Either these people on the top, including Guillemot himself, changes their views and start working with their company instead of against it, or they'll just have to be removed ( if the company itself doesn't break first )

    I'm completely with you. It has to be said that Ubisoft still has good ideas, but maybe they're just taking on too much instead of creating small, beautiful games like they used to. I have to say that I didn't think the last games were that bad, and in the Assassin's Creed area I really liked Mirage and Odyssey, but you shouldn't focus on making the biggest games, but rather the best quality games, like you did with the old games. For example the Ezio trilogy, the Kennway series/ the ones in America, even or Far Cry 3 and 4.

    Can we just all admit one simple truth? Assassin's Creed III was the real turning point. Ubisoft turned the franchise aimless after they ended the Second Disaster plotline. After the Second Disaster was avoided, there is nothing to look forward to in the timeline, so Assassin's Creed blatantly turned into a vehicle to milk different time periods in history. We tolerated it for a while when Ubi tried to experiment with gameplay mechanics after III, but we all know this leads to nothing. Assassin's Creed without the future storyline building up to something is just Ubisoft Open World: The Game.

AC hasn't declined, it's just got different experiences and some people prefer the old or new games. The franchise isn't dying, and if it was, we wouldn't be getting so many other games. I also think people look at the older games as games they grew up on so they don't look at the same reused assets, unnecessary collectibles, and repetitive missions have been in AC since the very first game.

      I think part of the reason for being influenced by the "quantity over quality" was because of the success of Witcher 3. That game revolutionized RPG and they decided that AC should follow a similar formula. RPG means better game. Not necessarily unless you put in absolutely every effort in every aspects of an RPG games. Objectively speaking, they have not been successful in pulling it off.
      Copying formula from another successful game is not always the most beneficial choice.

    I don't understand your point about Farcry is what it is and it's not going to change but then also have issues with the main villains of the later games or the gameplay.
    I don't think anyone wants Farcry to change. People can see that Ubisoft isn't trying and are just copying and pasting. People want Ubisoft to add to it.
    Sure people shouldn't expect much more out of Farcry. But then you shouldn't either. It'll continue its path... Nothing more.

    Ubisoft simply just doesn't innovate anymore, which is exemplified in how every open world game now takes from their map formula in AC1 for almost 20 years.
    They literally can't when every sequel to AC is forcefully packed and released within a year. They also keep trying to implement mechanics unique to AC in other games they make, we now have AC-likes such as GoT and it edges out by virtue of having better execution because the game is given reasonable dev time.

    Good video. Maybe UBISOFT could sell some of their lesser IP:s so that they can focus on their bigger franchises. I want AC to continue, but not in a stale state. I want it to thrive. For that it requires more care. Frpm bottom down/up in their company.

    I have to disagree on saying that the Yakuza franchise didn't change themselves. Sure, for the majority of games it's all about the brawling style of the games. Though their latest two mainline games are all about turn based JRPG. Not to mention the stark difference between the Yakuza games and the vast majority of the Ubisoft games are that, even if things aren't changing much with their foundation, it is always improved upon. That cannot be said for the majority of Ubisoft games.

    Yeah, it really pains me. Ubisoft was my favorite developer in the late 2000s and early 2010s. With great titles like Assassin's Creed 2, Far Cry 3, and Splinter Cell Conviction. Hell I even enjoyed the Prince of Persia remake and lets not forget the great Trials games. Then late 2010s went down hill.
    I find it funny how you mention the Yakuza series. Because I've been going through the series and I notice the reuse of assets and I'm not upset because they change their systems and content.

    unfortunately Ubisoft is not by far the only gaming company that does these practices, esp in the AAA sphere. gaming is all about publishing and moving money now, that's why so many of them turn to netflix series now lol. and they're (almost) all bad too! 😂 just mindless content with no value, subscriptions, game hubs, currencies, early accesses, cutting corners, bugs and glitches. Ubisoft certainly has a lot of expectations on them tho, and exponentially more as time goes by and they keep fumbling. they did create an amazing few franchises, who are all slowly either disappearing or getting turn to slop, so the pressure is truly on from the fans of these great games, for Ubisoft to get it together and just keep creating good quality games. and they will sell!

    7:54 Good point.
    Know why I keep buying Far Cry games even with other story shooter games out there? Because I freaking love Far Cry. If the game strayed too much and did not feel like Far Cry anymore, then why would I buy it? Granted there's not much innovation for the series but I still enjoyed them.
    While you may counter argue me about AC, which drastically changed. It was never about Assassination Stealth that pulled me to AC. It was going through different historical periods. The stealth and parkour were add ons that I also like. So even if Origins to Valhalla moved away from the stealth focus, I still enjoyed those games. I wouldn't have played Odyssey and Valhalla for 120+ hours each nor bought their DLCs if I didn't enjoy them.

    Ubisoft doesn't have the man with the vision, the Cory Barlog or Neil Druckmann. And how could they, instead of focusing on creating one great game they have a dozen studios likely working on multiple projects per IP. So what's the alternative to having that one person with a concrete vision guiding all projects in a recognizable direction for a given IP while allowing for innovation? Outline a formula for the IP and deviate as little as possible from it. Problem solved!

    I felt like their" not a strong protagonist" feature is very bad . Selecting the protagonist gender in ac Odyssey, Valhalla and fc6 , every npc is protagonist in wd legion . I get it they want to create diversity , equity in their characters. Then make a strong character with his/her fixed culture and origin to represent them . Not an unknown character who doesnt give that connection to players. I felt like the Darios as protagonist was a pure waste in Odyssey , just make Kassandra the only protagonist. Its more than enough

  • @Rifleman017

    The thing is that each franchise was unique in its own way and now they try to aply a certain formula to all their games stripping them of their uniqueness. I guess its just the business side of things, trying to appeal to everyone to have as much sales as posibile. Truth is a generic rpg that has half baked mechanics will still sell better than a linear stealth game. Even if a stealth game will sell well its not enough for them. Thats why you get big, grindy,souless games, designed to waste your time and try to mimic aspects of the franchises they are based on.

  • @blacksheep6415

    I don’t think Ubisoft hate their games I think they just don’t know how to respond to criticism. When people hated the original parkour style they dumbed it down until eventually they expanded on it making better than before in any game. When unity released the game was a disaster and Ubisoft didn’t respond properly they instead dumbed down their system. Origins was the first the Ubisoft took a break to really think about how they wanted a AC game to play and move and the games following it expanded on the world but not the lore and story of the games. Ubisoft kinda did the same thing with far cry they started out with great mechanics but dumb it down until eventually we got far cry 5 which imo is the best in the series then abandoned their story. They did the same thing with watch dogs they improved on what the first game had and dumbed down a lot of the mechanics then abandoned the story in legion. I think if Ubisoft actually focused on the story of each game over the mechanics then their games would be a lot better to because they would spend less time trying to fix a parkour system that was never bad just incomplete.

    What went wrong with the Far Cry series? Far Cry 3 is what went wrong. A less ambitious and less experimental game than its predecessors (or what I like to call the "Creedification of Far Cry"), numerous downgrades and cut corners. Things like physics, ai, attention to detail, level design, broken uninspired MP and COOP, a map editor that takes 1 step forward and 2 steps back, and a tone-deaf SP that can't match its gameplay to what it tries to convey in its story.
    How that thing got 9's and 10's is beyond my comprehension. I can understand it if people really like it, and it might be their personal favourite for certain reasons, but it's not flawless in any way shape or form. Just purely looking at the state the MP and COOP were launched in, should already disqualify it from getting 9's and 10's and also make it hard IMO to call it the best in the franchise. Especially if you know something about the titles that came before them.
    The end result of its success meant an even bigger focus from Ubisoft on making their games even more homogeneous. Less innovation, more sequels that can be made in a shorter amount of time (due to not having put any effort in real gameplay innovation), No original IP's with interesting mechanics any more. Just sequels and big IP's with the same open world mechanics. Those are the only projects that get substantial funding.
