No, it's just another thing to layer onto the pile.
>Ghost Recon Breakpoint flopped.
>Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope flopped.
>Immortals: Fenyx Rising flopped.
>Watch Dogs: Legion flopped.
>Roller Champions died right out of the gate.
>Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown flopped.
>Skull & Bones flopped.
>Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora flopped.
>Star Wars: Outlaws flopped.
>Assassin's Creed Shadows flopped.
All of these happened one after the other. They haven't had a successful game since Covid and even during Covid it was primarily just Rainbow Six Siege and Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Valhalla keeping the company afloat. I want you to understand that outside of Prince of Persia, Mario + Rabbids, and maybe Roller Champions all of these had AAA budgets and expectations. Having all of them flop in a row must have been devastating as a whole.
Right now the only things seemingly keeping it alive are:
>Skull & Bones which continues to get new seasons of content so their paid store must be generating some amount of money.
>The Division 2 which still shambles on like a zombie.
>For Honor which still shambles on like a zombie even though I've never heard of anyone still playing it.
>Rainbow Six Siege which itself is starting to fall off due to their poor handling of it in recent years.
>NuAC games solely due to the Helix Store as far as we know.
Everything else is either a monumental failure, flops, or brings in small amounts of money at best.

Nta but: Division 1 doesn't even look like shit. That game is peak atmosphere. It looks good.
But for some reason Ubisoft around that time had this weird habit of showing their first previous with absolutely out of this world graphical detail, that as you said they must have known was not gonna run on most PCs, let alone consoles. Rainbow six Siege, (why put a bunch super dense smoke, fog, dirt particles and blinding lights in the preview? You know that would be entirely unfeasible for a PvP shooter.) Watch Dogs, Division they all came with "Jesus Christ look at how good that looks" trailers. And then when they came out they looked fine. Not once playing any of these games did I think: "Wow the graphics are disappointing". But because they put out unrealistic trailers that could never go live like that, they ended with negative press and comments for how it looks worse now.
If they didn't overpromise, then it wouldn't have looked like they underdelivered.

It's in the game if you play the non-canon mode. In Canon Mode he just says "You're a good friend' after handing him some flowers he thought he might like to welcome him to the Hideout and then leaves. Pretty much every stupid thing you see in Shadows is only if you deliberately chose to not play Canon Mode which is your own fault and also pick every gay choice on top of that.
Canonically Yasuke only had crushes on Rin and Oichi, both of which he never pursued because he friendzoned the former due to him being black and the latter was a devoted wife on top of him being black. Then he tells Naoe in an ideal world he'd be in Africa on a plot of land he owns with several of his kids enjoying life to cement that he's not a gay. Same deal with Naoe, she canonically wants to pop out a minimum of three kids from a peasant in her home town and settle down.

It's the event horizon. "Assassin's Creed with ninjas" was literally the "make this game to print money" failsafe for the company and they fucked it up so badly they had to sell the franchise to Tencent. It was the point where it became obvious there was no hope whatsoever for them.

Oh wait, whoops, I thought it was the they/them romance scene. Yes, it's in the Isu content they added.
Out of content it looks like he's taking Naoe away from the guy. In context both of those guys are idiots, it's a comedy side quest chain, they've spent the past 40 minutes establishing these guys as dumber than a sack of bricks who willingly want to get kicked in the chest and choked to unconsciousness because they think it teaches them something, and neither Yasuke nor Naoe like them. They both tried killing Naoe at the start of the game and she does not like either of them at all.
Over the past two quests they've established Kinu has a crush on Naoe after she nearly killed him at the start of the game which is why Kane is saying "They're pretty close" to troll Kinu and then Kinu misinterprets the scene. Naoe does not in any way like Yasuke and vice-versa. Naoe sees Yasuke as the man who personally ordered the murder of and actively participated in the murder of her entire village and only views him as a friend after they've spent years hunting the Shinbakufu together, nothing more. Yasuke finds her a trustworthy person and is willing to put his life into her hands to make up for his mistakes with Iga.
The quest literally ends on both of them being told they're going to do the important job of shoveling house manure at the hideout and they think it's the best their life has ever been and it's super prestigious work because they get to work with horses. Kane even begins calling himself "Yasukane" because he believes they honor them with the role of being manure shovelers. It is not a BMAF romance whatsoever, it's an idiot being an idiot and everyone taking a scene out of context to shitpost.

No, culture war people like to act like "woke" is the downfall of everything, because their circle hates "woke". But normies don't see "woke" everywhere culture warriors see "woke".
Not to mention that woke doesn't really kill games. We were shitting on Ubisoft for decades before "go woke go broke" was ever said. We used to shit on them for putting watch towers on everything, we used to mock them for putting out: "TOM CLANCY'S:" games years after the dude was dead, we used to mock them for essentially making the same game over and over and over again with a slightly different skin. Fuck, when Asscreed Unity was a buggy unplayable mess, some Ubi-rep said: "We're sorry you're experiencing this, the next game will be better" Lmao. sorry we sold you trash, buy the next one, it's good I promise.
No, Ubisoft "had it coming" for a LONG time. It is yet another example where a company is doing SOME woke things, (without actually being woke), while also putting out shit games and consequently dying, and culture warriors are pointing at the woke and saying: "There, that's the cause" without actually showing a causal relationship.
It's like Germany. Years ago Germany had a couple school shootings. And each time they found video games at the shooters home. So the press and German politicians started blaming violent video games for mass shootings.
correlation does not equal causation.

I mentioned "without actually being woke" here and I want to expand on that.
I don't think Ubisoft (or any other big company for that matter) are actually woke. They are merely adopting some progressive theming to appeal to the general public, without daring to make a statement. Remember Watch Dogs Legion?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHd4YfbZuxU
>Reclaim your future
>A private army is running our city
>it's up to us take it back
>RESIST
>RECLAIM YOUR FUTURE
>clear themes of being anti police state, oppressive government, surveilance state
All pretty "woke" themes. On the right side of the isle we have Division 2. Opening with:
>when the cops stopped coming, did you have a gun? Did your neighbour?
>You play as a secret militarized special forces unit
>clearly says that without cops around to keep piece, terrorists and gangsters would rule the streets
>To keep bad guys in check, you need highly trained special agents who are allowed to kill on sight
It's like the NRA's wet dream of why you need a gun.
And what does Ubisoft say when asked about the political themes of any of their games? They say: "Oh there is none" "we have no politics in our games" They deny it for left leaning antifa fight powah style games, they deny it for right leaning military slop. Because a company can't be woke, and it can't be based. It's sitting on the fence, trying to appeal to everyone, because the one thing they care about is money.
Don't be tricked because something looks or feels woke. They don't give a fuck, politically.

>it's an out of context clip from a comedy moment.
Why am I not surprised. The right wing fags did the same with the BG3 Bear sex scene, saying it unironically zoophilia.
First of all: fucking NOBODY into zoophilia is fucking god damn bears.
Secondly: It was a comedy scene played for laughs, where no actual bear on human interaction is shown. We cut away to a fucking squirrel doing a god damn reaction shot, where he notices the human fucking the bear, dropping his nut in shock, and then running away scared, implying what is going on is SUCH a fucked up thing to see, that even the wild animals are shocked and running away. And people were honestly trying to argue that this played for laughs comedy bit was a honest to god attempt to make zoophilia more acceptable.
How many sitcoms had "dog + peanut butter" jokes? Were they all pushing zoophilia?
Also: Stop being a tripfag, faggot. You can post like everyone else.

He's just the latest in a long decline. AC has never been good since BF but it's still been passable until origins.

On what planet? It had by far one of the worst stories in the entire series only surpassed by Rogue.
>Jacob and Evie immediately betray their Mentor and suffer no consequences for the entire game.
>Starrick's entire goal is to just live forever and subjugate England without any consequences and everyone in the Templar Order is just fine with this.
>Starrick is not immediately killed by the Black Cross because he's brazen about the Templar Order and openly causing attention to be brought to it.
>Every single Templar you meet has barely any sort of story tied to them and what little they have is either blind devotion to Starrick or being directly related to him.
>No one can argue their positions at all even in the Memory Corridors.
>There is a literal blood vial in Edward's house despite the fact Birch had already searched it nearly a century ago when he killed Edward, the Templars owned all of England, and the Templars were still actively looking for a way to start up the Observatory which they only stopped in 2013 when Noob synced Edward's memories.
>Edward's house is left as-is by the Templars for 87 years even though Haytham's been dead for nearly a century by that point for seemingly no reason.
Then you get to the gameplay which is just as bad.
>The chain kill system means you always have to hit enemies a minimum of two times to actually kill them, even if you're 10 and they're 2.
>When you actually fight enemies you flail around like you're in a mosh pit and it looks disgusting.
>Nothing ever feels satisfying to do, it always feels like you're at hyper speed.
>There's never a single reason to ever willingly play Jacob because he lacks all of Evie's amazing stealth abilities in exchange for a single instakill headshot every 20 or so seconds in combat from his revolver.
>Rooks are even more broken than ACB Assassin recruits and can clear entire buildings on their own.
>Tools and outfits are both worse than Unity.

The next AC is supposed to be about witches and smaller in scale.
I didnt play Mirage so I have no idea how good or bad it was, but as far as I recall it was mostly well received? So maybe Hexe will be fine, but I expect the (most likely) female protag will ruffle some feathers regardless.

>>732254040
>no consequences
Dude Jacob's entire plotline is him acting retarded and making things worse despite his good intentions. Crashed the stock market, allied with the leader of the Blighters and (surprise) that ended in a theater being burned down, etc. He's constantly stepping on a rake.
>Starrick
It wasn't. He was trying to secure the same goal the Templars have always wanted: perpetual order. Listen to his tea monologue again. He's less in it for "le power" and more in it for the security of Britain's future as an empire reigning over the world. I think he's actually one of the best post Black Flag antognists by a long shot.
>other templars are shit
basically ever AC game. Yeah, I'm not happy about it either but I've come to expect less than shit from Ubi. I did really enjoy the leader of the Blighters though; he was fantastic.
>Edward's house
it was stupid fan service so I'll give it to you on that one. But being that it was stupid fan service I was less upset about it even though, when you think about it, it makes no sense at all.
>combat
It's why I liked the stealth missions more. Whenever you do a massive stealth mission like the Soothing Syrup one, it's always a blast. I've never enjoyed any of the combat in AC outside of stealth so when I saw that Syndicate was shit, I was not phased one bit by it.
>>
>>732254343
I can already tell you the plot before it's even released. It'll have
>female protag with a massive chip on her shoulder
>going up against the evil patriarchy for keeping her and her sisters (who will almost definitely be practicing witchcraft and doing it maliciously) down for false accusations of practicing witchcraft
>something about slavery and how black witches stopped the slave ships or some ridiculous nonsense
>something about feminist women sticking it to the man, probably won the American Revolution and Civil War, because may as well since we're here
> embarrassing political "satire" that will show how little the writers understand about the situation of the time
>gay or interracial love interest, likely both
It's going to be hot garbage. Anytime you get a female lead and something about witches, it's going to be the most insufferable thing you've ever seen.

That's not what I'm talking about. At the start of the game George tells them they've made some bad choices and tells them they've got to stop. Instead they hop on a train and run away. That's straight up betraying the Brotherhood at that point and this is never brought up once. Greenie even actively helps them knowing they did this. They also go after Starrick with no support from anyone so they're pulling an Arno essentially which would piss off the other Brotherhoods.
>He's less in it for "le power" and more in it for the security of Britain's future as an empire reigning over the world.
He himself goes on a monologue about wanting to rule over them with an iron fist regardless of the moral issue presented by this and does not care for his people in the slightest. His cousin directly scams and nearly kills a man just to have the rights to an engine. He does not care about anyone but himself and living forever so he specifically can rule England.
>basically ever AC game
Most of the other AC games outside of Odyssey and some of Shadows' at least try to flesh out the side targets. Even Valhalla of all things spent more time developing its OotA members compared to how Syndicate treated its major Templar targets. That one chick who was madly devoted to Starrick was basically only in it to support his megalomaniacal nature, it wasn't even a romantic thing.
>I've never enjoyed any of the combat in AC outside of stealth so when I saw that Syndicate was shit, I was not phased one bit by it.
The thing is that the older games were still better than Syndicate. Even for all their flaws the older games made it fun to chain kill with nice animations and huge encounters, and Unity tried balancing combat so that you couldn't just cheese everything and had to properly parry and react. Syndicate just has you mashing while occasionally parrying now. It's awful.

He was the PR debacle Ubisoft did not need, but their problems go much deeper. Like having 20k employees shitting out a major game every other year.

That's probably one of the bigger narrative fumbles in Syndicate. They turned a character who could've been one of the most reasonable Templar characters into a mustache twirling villain because god forbid things aren't clear cut. Not helped by his subordinates being scum, though.

When you hear about "Assassin's Creed in Japan" you might imagine all kinds of cool scenarios and spectacular sequences that could exploit both the setting and Ubisoft's customarily large budgets. Instead, the concept has given us this: a xenophile cuck fantasy in which a Japanese girlboss flutters her lashes at a VERY black man while an impotent Japanese male gapes at their interracial mating ritual in cartoonish, open-mouthed horror. "Take that, Japan!" yells Ubisoft triumphantly. "That's what you get for resisting the multicultural project." And this warped obsession with teaching Japan a lesson has taken precedence over the once ordinary goal of making a good game that people will want to play.

>>732248247
What killed Ubisoft was Ass Creed and retarded investors, they wanted to endlessly replicate the first few games success and turned the whole company into a slop factory to churn out yearly entries. This made the company bloated and creatively bankrupt, Yasuke was just the final step of a process that had been going for years.

Someone who actually wants progressive change. Someone who actually wants political change to happen. If someone just draws a rainbow flag on their twitter profile to say shit to queers, that's not woke. That's just using woke iconography to sell trash.
Or look at Disney & Netflix. They're willing to have a gay kiss in their movies / their league of legends show. But it has to be short enough so that it can be cut out of international markets where it would impact the sales negatively.
That's not really allyship to the progressive agenda, that's not really being woke. That's just.. marketing. That means their support for "woke Ideals" is entirely transactional, and if their numbers said putting a gay kiss would actually harm numbers in the US the same way it does in other countries, they would refuse. Hence: not "actually woke".
It's like the leftie version of RINO. If you are not willing to defend progressive Ideas, then you are just not a progressive.

Here's a game design where playing as Yasuke in Assassin's Creed makes sense.
You have two characters, the Ninja and Yasuke. You play as Yasuke during the day, you have shit to do for characters but between that you have to sabotage the place you're at, you have to create an entrance for the Ninja, hide weapons so that some guards are unarmoured, destroy/hide lamps, unlock doors, leave keys and so on. Then you play as the Ninja, you don't attack the place Yasuke is at, you attack a place he has been, some of his sabotage has been undone so as Yasuke you need to diversify what you prepare. Now you're playing as the Ninja and you're using tools and routes you prepared to kill your target.
The gameplay loop is Yasuke is an Assassin agent sabotaging so that the Ninja can get the Creeds target. Where playing as Yasuke directly impacts playing as the Ninja, maybe make it so eventually the Ninja fighting openly too often leads to restrictions on Yasuke making sabotage harder.
They create a complete unique gameplay loop, they get to keep the black main character and they're not shitting on history anymore than AC has done.

>They hire women with purple hair
They do. They hire right wingers too. They'll hire anyone. They don't really care. Are they willing to say "diversity is strength" and shit like that? Sure, no question. But do they actually believe? Do they stand behind it? Fuck no. Hell, even when they make an openly left leaning political game, they do not have the balls or the guts to stand behind and say: "Yes, we believe in the message of this game". They It's all: "politics? In our game about fighting a fascist surveilance state with tech billionaires? Noo, my dear there's no politics, here, this is merely a video game! It can't possibly have any political meaning!"
And you and I both know that's just not how wokes operate. Ever met an actual wokie who didn't yell his politics at you? Who wasn't ready to call you chud scum, because you weren't ready to agree 100% with his points? And you're telling me that a giant corp unwilling to stand by it's product is also woke? Nah. They're just using "woke" ideas to sell shit. The moment leftism is stomped out they're gonna sell swastika DLC.
Or take Blizzard. The reddit epic bacon wholesome chungus company. THE posterchild of a woke company. Will they put "progressive" crap in their games? Sure. But at the same time, what happened when a Heartstone Player spoke out for Hong Kong? Lifetime ban. Winnings confiscated.
Or how they hired Townsend and Bulato.
Townsend was Homeland Security advisor under G.W. Bush, and is on the record as saying torture is justified, Bulato was COO of the CIA and nominated for under secretary of state for management by Donald J. Trump.
Yeah, these companies might hire purple haired community managers, and even coders, for their low level position. But upstairs, in the execs lounge? Ex-bush administration torture apologists and ex CIA.

Without knowing the actual state of Ubisoft's finances, performance expectations, etc., and only going by vibes, I would say that Yasuke is a symptom of the internal rot at the company. Ass Creed: Darkie is what happens when a company loses the run of itself, and forgets what its primary purpose is. Yes, making money, but also making quality products with broad enough appeal to capture a market/ fan fanbase.
Shadows was apparently worse in many mechanical respects than previous instalments, and intentionally took a swipe at the (not insignificant) "anti-woke" segment of the market while finally doing the Japan setting that people had been asking for for years, but poisoning it with an obvious political agenda.

Your splitting hairs on what "actually woke" is. You either have creative freedom at a job or you do not. It is very clear that if there is anyone still at ubisoft who wants to make cool shit, they are not in charge of anything.

Oh believe me, I think it's retarded dialogue choices can even be made and these things can even be done. I'm just saying that in order to even see it you have to go out of your way in multiple ways to ever even see it.

Really? Because the game presents it as actual years due to the seasons system. Kinda weird for them to do that.

The company mindset that led to the creation of Yasuke is the primary cause of their downfall.
Ubisoft is the biggest industry onboarding center for subversive hacks who are here to carry out the agenda of the government agencies, hedge funds, etc., and if gamers successfully turned it into a smoldering crater, that'd be a great victory for the hobby.

Anon I'm not splitting hairs. To be woke means to want to enact social change for all these groups you hate. If a corporation only pretends to be woke to sell product, and stops showing these groups in regions where it is not profitable, and is unwilling to go to bat for these beliefs, then they are not woke.
Literally definitionally. To be woke means to fight for these progressive values. If you crumble the second it's not profitable to have these progressive values, or mention them, then you're not woke. You're just profiteering.

I'm not. I'm saying they're retarded and there never should have been any romances of any kind in Odyssey, Valhalla, or Shadows and you shouldn't have been able to make decisions at all because it directly contradicts the Animus as a whole. How are you not getting this?

I don’t get this headcanon that Yasuke was Ubisoft’s tragic flaw, as if the game would’ve been good if it wasn’t for him. Ubisoft was already going down the shitter, Yasuke was just the final nail on the coffin.
https://youtu.be/TwOEeZcMAu4 pretty much sums up why Ubisoft is dying

This is why the west won't be allowed to vote its way out of the modern paradigm. If they had to operate off of an honest, reasonable tax policy and deal with politicians who aren't compromised assets, this cabal of psychotic narcissists would implode within six months. I actually wouldn't be surprised if it happened within six weeks. Or three weeks.
They can barely manage when they're literally sucking up half of the economy of the western world in taxes and controlling the rest by extension. Think about that.

It’s not even because yasuke being black. People don’t want to admit it (on both “sides”). The real reason his fame is unpalatable is because it’s fucking full of malice.
It’s seeped in the very soul of the game. Ubisoft did not make yasuke a protag because they thought it would be cool. They did it because they wanted to spite the Japanese and an audience that like Japan. Turns out, no one likes that shit. It’s actually the same reason joker 2 flopped so badly.
It’s not really about “message”. It’s about intent. Audiences can sniff out when something is being openly malevolent. They could have very well made an ass creed game in Japan about yasuke, and still have it succeed. But it would have needed to come from a place of passion, not petty spite. And even more confusingly, it’s not like the heckin chuds were playing asscreed to begin with. So the spiteful intent towards the audience comes across not just as, well spiteful, but misplaced and “uncanny”.
It’s a weird fucking game.

It means that there's SO many dumb fucked up meme scenes that the namefag who actually likes the game gets them confused.

Except that's the actual historical yasuke, and not the great daimyo they wanted him to be.

>>The experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years and that amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanity of that conceit of Plato's and other ancients applauded by some of later times; that the taking away of property and bringing in community into a commonwealth would make them happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God. For this community (so far as it was) was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For the young men, that were most able and fit for labour and service, did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children without any recompense.
