  Rayman Legends was fucking great. Damn that was so long ago

  I loved the original Rayman game so much as a kid that I'd specifically look for that old rainbow logo on other games to figure out which ones I might like.

  Far cry 3 was amazing. Blood dragon “expansion” was the shit too.

  Nah the hilarious thing is that Ubisoft has some games that are awesome. Steep has incredible mountain design and general design flow to the game, Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Wildlands both look really fun especially with the first person mod. Without all the stupid nonsense attached Riders Republic is awesome playground for a potentially awesome experience.

  What makes it hilarious is that the apparent value of a company like Ubisoft is that it makes the value of game ideas and projects under its umbrella more valuable, more polished and more likely to be purchased by customers… and yet I can say with certainty there are 5 or so Ubisoft games I would spend $10+ no question if I woke up tomorrow and they were no longer owned by Ubisoft and were owned by an indie developer.

  **Ubisoft literally, probably quantitatively makes the value of IPs under its company name less valuable to people, if the function of a business is to bring value that can be turned into profit Ubisoft is an anti-business. It takes in raw materials and makes them less valuable on the marketplace after it has processed those raw materials for a high production cost.

    I remember booting up AC2 on my Windows 7 powered by my Nvidia Geforce GTX460. Maybe it was my gullible teenage perception, but back then - just seeing the logos of these companies really hyped me up before the experience

      Well yeah but back then was different, we were way less farther along in the enshittification process.

  Prince of Persia sands of time, Beyond Good and Evil, Rayman, Splinter Cell, etc. They were very prolific back when they and the rest of the industry understood that you couldn’t just bet all your money on a single title all the time, you had to have some dog-shit movie tie-ins and terrible Barbie games to keep the lights on.

  Ya but they started the always online DRM for single player games back with AC2 and the lawsuits about the companies culture of sexual harassment/assault
