They ran Ass cRee into the ground and launched Uplay with privacy violations.
I boycotted them after thinking they were one of the few good AAA companies.
Now they're going to die.
Great. Maybe a better studio can reboot Ass cRee and make it wothwhile. Or you know, just leave it the fuck alone.
Same with Far Cry which is a shame because it used to be a really fun dumbshooter series. I got FC6 on sale last month and had to slog through it, I swore off the franchise after finishing the game and haven't touched it since, even though there's plenty of post-game content left for me.
Far Cry 6 made some decisions that didn't make sense to me. I was always running out of ammo, which is something you shouldn't have to worry about in a Far Cry game. Having essentially just 4 magazines doesn't go far in a protracted firefight, and the Supremo is inconsistent to use. In Far Cry 5, the amount of ammo you could carry was roughly double the amount.
You could also change your weapons at any time through the menu (so you're essentially carrying like 50 weapons) but you can't change your ammo type unless you're at a workbench (although I think they fixed this later on), which is the opposite of the previous games.
The game map is nice and large but it suffers from generic Point of Interest syndrome that is common in Ubisoft games.
At least the plot was zany at times, particularly the side missions.
Sad to see our resident AAAA game developer not doing well, but it was largely of their own making here.
The main plot was abysmal though. What the fuck was that ending, the kid was just irrelevant.
4 and 5 had better endings even if they were kind of depressing
