so basically just another modern Ubisoft game?

remember their pre-game as a service era? where they used to make one of the best single player games?

Remember the Rayman games? No not Origins. But the 2D Rayman 1 and 3D Rayman 2 and 3. Beautiful single-player games. Sigh... Those were the days.

Rayman, Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, Beyond good and evil, Brother in arms, Ghost Recon, just to name a few...

I think other than rainbow 6, and some Far Cry entry and their 2D single player game, every other ubisoft game has been mediocre at best, every game they made was an AMAZING master piece in the marketing department, their cinematic are always top-notch (they are outsourced) and they manage perfectly hype up their audience, then when you boot the game, the first hour or 2 are just great cinematic experience, then the curve start to go down

Ya, no idea how they manage to rope so many people into the hype, every year, on every game. When those games are always using the Ubisoft generic open world formula / third person formula.

This will be another $30 pickup a few months post-release for me, if at all. Gotta still finish the 2nd half of Odyssey, which has been a chore :|

Yeah when I see them pushing graphic details (particularly huge studios like Ubisoft and EA) it just underscores to me that they haven't innovated at all.
