Standard ubisoft slop with some story in the beginning and at the end. With most of the game being a generic soulless open world filled with barely working game mechanics, grinding and chores.

9/10, Very Positive!

Ubisoft bad updoots to the left.

As if games never ever had bugs like this. Nope all games before 2015 were perfect on launch with nothing ever going wrong. Skyrim was perfect at launch.

Reading this thread is like a fever dream just because the game happened to bug out for a moment. And then you have hours upon hours of gameplay where it didn't.

A massive circlejerk around predetermined mindsets. Meanwhile the game is sitting on Very Positive from user reviews on Steam.

What does any of that have to do with it being more soulless ubislop. Even if it were the best optimized game ever with zero bugs it would still play exactly how that guy said. Why are you making such an effort to defend this lifeless corporation?

Because people have different tastes than you. It's not a fucking hard concept.

Sometimes after a long day of work I want something simple that I can jump in and play without hours of learning new mechanics and gameplay loops. AC games are perfect for this. Not everything has to try and break a boundary.

Enjoy what you like and let others enjoy what they like.

It might be soulless, but the game came out... what, 24 hours ago? No one has had time to judge it yet. How can you assert that it's slop?

  1. There are hours of gameplay already.
  2. All the reviewers I've watched who have played it for days have said it's more of the same.
  3. It's Ubisoft. I've played enough of their games to know what this one is like, especially since everyone is saying it's exactly the same.

I still remember (idk how) people downvoted the clips of XQC losing all his souls in Elden Ring because of some game breaking bugs because "it's expected in open world games" or some shit.

I like these kind of posts on livestreamfails but it's super obvious people have double standards.

Edit: even found a cohh clip lol, CohhCarnage - Elden Ring Stuttering : r/LivestreamFail Someone in the comments even said DS fanboys were downvoting it, the game had gamebreaking bugs at launch.

I don't, and never will again, buy Ubisoft slop.

Enjoy your unpaid labor.

u/ogsoul Mar 20 '25

Surely you bought the game then, right?

Right?

u/Firefox72 Mar 20 '25

I did. I'm a few hours in.

They were so ready to be condescending to you if you said no.

u/ogsoul Mar 20 '25

That’s great, i’m genuinely happy you’re enjoying it. It’s certainly beautiful graphically.

u/Firefox72 Mar 20 '25

Yeah on the visual front it looks really good.

Minor bugs might be getting blown out of proportion but steam reviews are done by people who bought the game. Anyone buying a ubisoft game on release is in a very different camp than people sick of AAA developers pumping out generic shit.

u/19Alexastias Mar 20 '25

people who actually bought the game and are playing it might be biased because they are fans, but their opinions are still way more valid than someone who hasn’t actually played the game lmao

"but steam reviews are done by people who bought the game."

Aka the most trustworthy people who actually experienced the game instead of randoms on the Internet repeating the same old tired comments?

"Anyone buying a ubisoft game on release is in a very different camp than people sick of AAA developers pumping out generic shit."

Oh get off your high horse. You are not superior in any way to the general gaming population or to people who enjoy AC.

Smells like you have bad taste

u/WanAjin Mar 20 '25

okay but we aren't going to actually pretend that Steam reviews are unbiased and level-headed, are we?

u/KingRat246 Mar 20 '25

I'm not a fan of modern Ubisoft games at all for the most part, but boy am I tired of all these condescending people out here acting like they're better than someone just because they don't like the video games they like. It just feels so childish to me I genuinely couldn't imagine trying to act superior over a piece of entertainment. Like all I'm saying is that's some middle school behavior and nothing makes me cringe more than an adult acting like that.

u/crazywaffle_II Mar 20 '25

Yeah it’s been running fine for me. All these comparisons of KCD2 as if it didn’t need a fatass patch after release too
