    “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.

    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.

      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…

    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.

      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).

        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.

          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.

            Anyone who would complain about game design has already stopped buying or caring about Ubisoft products years ago.

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

  • 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.

      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.

    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

      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

        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?

      Stolen physical copies. Supposedly they postponed the game release last moment so it already got distributed and things started getting funny.

        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.

                  Same things as all new ubisoft games. Uninnovative, cash milking, pushing dei agenda. You know why this game was delayed right?

        My whole comment…one sentence. Is that a lot to you? I did read the title, my comment relates to output before this story. This is my fourth sentence, you may need to take a day if you got this far in one sitting.
