My favorite thing about this is that Ubisoft has single handedly made AAAA synonymous with awful.
My first thought with this video was "this looks like some trash Ubisoft would put out."
I guess I was right.
"AAAA" is the sound you make after realizing what you did with your money.
In a couple of years we will have "AAAAAAHHHHH WHY WHY OH MY GOD WHY AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF"-games.
Wth is the point of stormtrooper armor. Has it ever done anything?
I read somewhere that the armor distributes blaster bolt shock through it so all the Stormtroopers get knocked unconscious. They don’t die, otherwise they may as well not wear it at all as they fall over after one blaster bolt.
But as with everything in Star Wars lore, that’s probably a desperate retcon.
It also removes any sense or individuality. Contrasted with clones who frequently customised their armour.
Look, everyone has their own style of wearfare. Some people show up in full battle rattle with mirror finished armor. Others show up to look good.
Over the years I have learned to pay attention to certain keywords that made me be extra careful about games advertised. So when I heard of AAAA, I immediately knew that CEO was on ketamine and the game will start as a dumpster fire.
See you again in six months. Maybe it will be in an acceptable state by then.
Sir, this is Ubisoft.
In 6 months everyone will have forgotten all about this and be playing the next shitty Far Cry game and complaining how it's an $80 unfinished mess.
"AAAA" is the sound you make when you start playing this abomination.
And yet somehow I'm managing to enjoy it.
Coprophilia is more common than we think.
Some people enjoy being pissed on; we're not kink shaming, mate.
Lol people in this sub shitting on others for enjoying a game that they hate. Must be hard to comprehend the fact that tastes can differ.
It's been a genuinely enjoyable game for me so far. Of course not without minor issues, but it does not even remotely deserve the hate it gets.
People can even BOTH enjoy stuff AND make fun of or complain about its failings.
Same. It took me a bit to get the settings how Iiked them and figure out the gameplay loop. But now I think it is similar to Red Dead 2 or a Ghost Recon game. And it's set on gorgeous Star Wars maps.
I think I laughed most when they said Far Cry 6 was a AAAA game. You can't just call things AAAA because you can't manage budgets.
I've never played a modern game before that loses first the voice audio and finally the gunshot sounds after a few hours and has to be reloaded.
I think the only game I can call AAAA with a straight face is Red Dead Redemption 2.
Yet there are people on this thread claiming this is what triple/quadruple A gaming is and we should shut up, bend over and pay USD 60 for an unfinished product. I think I have a bridge to sell to them :D
You can see every moment a senior dev went to management and asked for time or money to develop a certain type of interaction and were told no every single time.
I don't understand what people were expecting this is an Ubisoft game, they are always mediocre trash.
It's either mediocre or trash, one is on the bottom and the other is at the middle.
I’ve had no excitement for this game since Ubisoft is such a disappointment of mediocrity. I grew bitter to them back when they announced the controversial shutting down of their legacy activation servers: this would prevent gamers from passing the online checks to play their games. Suddenly, despite me possessing a physical disc of Splinter Cell Blacklist on Wii U, I learned I would lose access to the DLC I paid for and “owned”. Certain missions would also become unplayable since you need online co-op. Ubisoft backpedaled after significant backlash from gamers, but since then I hesitate whenever I see them attached to any project.
I miss old Ubisoft. I’m playing Beyond Good & Evil 2003 on my GameCube for the first time, and this game is spectacular! Wish Ubisoft didn’t become evil, but it was inevitable.
ummmmm that's cute but Super Mario World is a tretrigintuple-A game
That's 33 As and go fuck yourself if you can figure out the word better:
Most of these design decisions look like they were made to make the game incredibly bland and safe for a 5 year old to play.
Are you an outlaw or are you a big cuddly bear?
Who is this made for?
Star wars belongs to disney. Disney wants money from 0 to 99 year olds.
They really are milking Star Wars for all it’s worth.
I can't even remember the last time I saw an open world game where thr main character instantly drowns in water.
Elden ring comes to mind.
That's because, considering the bosses you have to fight, every character is weighted down by their enormous balls.
Helmet hair rebel....
are we really taking the "AAAA" seriously? why?
Because they've used it as an excuse to whack an extra $10 to the price.
I think some backlash is to be expected.
are people still expecting ubisoft to put out good games or what?
it takes really tiny batteries
Ooh that's awful! How can they do this? I remember Assassins Creed 1 was better than this... They could've just modded Ghost Recon Wildlands with pew pew guns and glowing knives, and still would've been a better experience than this.
Lemmy really is reddit 2.0, down to still pretending that Wildlands is a bad game.
