I disagree. Ubisoft has been very consistently trash for a while.

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Not really, look at anno for example. Its just the big titles that are regarded as not good.

Yea, I mean Watchdogs 2, The Division, Steep, I know some friends loved For Honor and R6: Siege is amazing (idk how the game looks today tho with all the updates they made).

Seems people tend to see ubisoft as AC and FarCry only.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

All of those games you just picked are quite old, watchdogs 2 came out in 2016, these games no longer are the ubishit standard, they are far above it. Plus Ubispft doesn't make sequels to those games anymore, for whatever reason.

Some people love to shit on ubisoft when others are way worse.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

I have enough shit to go around.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I still applaud Watch Dogs 2 for integrating offline and online play much better than Dark Souls did. You can still pause the game, for instance.

I personally loved Avatar and Outlaws.

They're not groundbreaking games, but they're both very immersive and for fans of both franchises it's a lot more fun to explore in these games.

1602 was the best Anno. Fight me.

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

OK, I personally think 1404 with the interesting and challenging campaign including the Venice dlc was the top, afterwards I think 1800 is the next best. My most controversial opinion is that both 2070 and 2205 where good and well made games, with some flaws of course but that doesn't mean its bad. Shure some disliked the setting and I was septic as well.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Never played the futuristic ones. What appealed to me with the anno games was the atmosphere of sails and settlers.

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 3 points 1 week ago

They bring that atmosphere to the future settings very well actually

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I agree on 2070 and 2205. I really enjoyed them and I chalked it up to me liking sci-fi enough to be able to bear it.

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah a setting change like that was very risky, but the next is also going to be very interesting going into the opposid direction.

I quite like SciFi so the setting itself wasn't a problem for me. 1800 goes into the steampunk direction, would appreciate a full on Steampunk Anno. And a Dieselpunk version would be cool as well.

Their current Monopoly game is infamously bad

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

OK, but who gives a shit about a monopoly game? Either play it like a normal person, when drinking with friends or don't.

[–] icecreamtaco@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’ve watched huge vtubers play it multiple times and every single time the game ends early from a crash. Or the game accidentally bankrupts a player. It’s bad publicity

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 3 points 1 week ago

HM... Yeah thats Bad publicity.

But that never happened to me, and I played both games for over 200 hours each. I even played them on Linux through emulation and it didn't happen.
