“People will really see how vast and complete that game is”

The fact that the CEO has to argue that the game is “complete” says so much about the whole debacle.

Katana314,

Well, it seems like this interview is for investors, not gamers. In that context I think it makes more sense.

Just because the Ubisoft CEO comes up with new flashy words to describe something, it still won’t make up for the fact that this is an awful, unpolished, and unfinished game, just like pretty much anything else Ubisoft released in the last decade, as a first-party developer

Dang that’s crazy. Anyway opens up Monster Hunter World

dangblingus,

Ubisoft can’t even fathom how Capcom manages to put out unique quality games consistently. Completely different universe of game design philosophy.

Defaced,

And yet Capcom is currently fucking over said unique quality games by adding shit drm to those games that are several years old.

They can barely make AAA these days though

ours,

They’ve been copy/pasting the same games over and over, a typo was bound to happen.

mnemonicmonkeys,

They can barely make AAA A these days though

FTFY

This game is a collab with the Singaporean government, their workforce has terrible salaries plus benefitting from generous federal subsidies. Is that not enough for you Yves?

Bring back AA games

They never went away. They just aren’t advertised as much.

BleatingZombie,

I honestly miss the era of “okay” movie games. They were never great, but games don’t need to be “great” to be fun

AsheHole,

Excuse me, battle for bikini bottom and the shrek 2 game were FIRE.

I want whatever Ubisoft is smoking. First they’re telling people that we don’t truly own their games and now they’re making AAAA games? I wish I had that confidence in myself.

As a cannabis enjoyer, I feel in this case, as is usually the case in my world, quad claims are bullshit.

Its $70 because they’re making back that expensive nightmare its been whether you want it or not.

Where is Ubisoft getting all this unearned confidence from? Their games have just been circling the toilet for the past 5 years or so.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Probably cocaine.

RizzRustbolt,

It’s called Confiance Blanc in France.

ours, do games w Helldivers 2’s concurrent Steam player record is PlayStation Studios’ highest yet

The game looks great. I guess they fixed the more glaring issues with their initial release.

People seemed to have issues logging in, matchmaking or CDT randomly. I’ll wait for a few trusted reviews but it looks like something I’ll enjoy.

Lesrid,

I had a bug where the obstacle you’re meant to crouch under spawned in at a height too low even for crawling. I had no idea it was a bug because I had never seen the tutorial before. After leaving and re-entering the tutorial it spawned in at the correct height.

Game is awesome though. If they smooth out the experience it will be my shooter of the year.

ours,

Good to hear. Sounds like a must-have.

bitwaba,

I refunded on day 1 because their anti cheat was preventing it from launching on Linux. They had a fix out Friday night, so I repurchased and have put maybe 6hrs into it.

I’ve been playing the early access Starship Troopers Extermination over the last 6 months, and after 30 minutes of Helldivers I told my friend “they’ve made a better Starship Troopers game than the Starship Troopers game.”

There’s a couple bugs here or there, but just playing 4-man with the homies seems to have avoided all the matchmaking issues.

ours,

I have Starship Troopers Extermination as well but I feel it has a long way to go still. I’m really tempted now to get Helldivers 2 and keep Extermination on the side as it progresses in Early Access.

If this dude was a real gamer, he would have called it “S-tier”.
