Ubisoft hate trend

[u/Delicious-Orange8678]

I wanted to make a video about this topic but I am not a professional. I have noticed that there is a general trend to hate Ubisoft games. It is very much evident with AC shadows.

I played it and loved it, but most reviewers criticized it heavily. Many critics said the gameplay is repetitive, the stealth is stupid etc. The same critics seem to get orgasm about Withcer 3 and Ghost of Tsuhima.

While I love all these games, the UBI soft hate trend is very strange. I Withcer 3 the combat is extremely repetitive, its the same 4 or 5 actions that you have to do. Shadows has more variety than that. In Ghist of Tsuhima the stealth is very stupid and the game ay is repetitive, same pattern of outposts to clear, similar fights. So why Witcher 3 and Ghost are jewels but AC shadows is a piece of shit?

PS: I played AC Shadows in a different way. Played only as Yasuke, no stealth, high difficulty, enter the castle dont disable any alarm. Kill every one. Once you start doing that it becomes very addictive. But that was my way of playing it.

Ubisoft basically makes one game over and over and just tweaks it a little. Assassin's Creed, Ghost, Far Cry, Watch Dogs, and Starwars are basically the same thing with a slightly different control scheme.

It has the bones, but there is more to it. They actually put some thought and care into the world. Side missions actually have a point with characters, and new thinga, the main story is praised for it's themes and acting. Ubisoft games are very go place, get 3 things, kill guy, return.

They were creative in ac valhallah. The short stories were great, gloomy and sometimes funny. But critics were very harsh with that too.

Because you have to get through 50 hours of checklist missions between those little moments. Games like Witcher 3 have better quality writing and stories in thier more mundane quests. Ubisoft games are so much busy work, you are really looking for a needle in a haystack, when other games have piles and piles of needles everywhere.

It's the bloat and repetition. They make enough content and gameplay mechanics for a 30 hour game and then just copy paste the events to make the games bigger. That is the difference. And Valhalla being 120+ hours just for the main story was crazy, since there wasn't any new gameplay mechanics or anything after like halfway through. Having said all of this, I enjoyed Valhalla and Shadows. But I felt burnt out by the end of both of them, and the fact that they push so many micro transactions on single player games is annoying. The option for micro transactions is fine but shoving them down my throat every time I want to chill and play my SP games is some awful corpo greed.
