I guess Ubisoft needs to get comfortable with people not buying their games
The fuck is XDefiant…
Apparently, it’s like Smash Bros in the Ubisoft universe, except it’s a first-person shooter.
So, you got different factions from Far Cry, Splinter Cell etc. with which you can play…If nothing else, it is kind of fun that they’ve merged universes a bit.
In Watch Dogs Legion, DedSec is contacted by the Assassin Order who needs their help taking down Templars that are working with Albion - basically merging protagonists/villains of both series.
Ghost Recon has also previously guest starred Sam Fisher and operators from Siege.
AC in narrative meeded closure in modern times, where I hoped AC 3 or 4 would be. Cool that happened.
It’s okay Ubisoft. YOU fell behind our expectations a looooooooong time ago.
Have they stopped using their launcher? The only way I will ever play an Ubisoft game is if they ditch that jank ass launcher.
Probably because it’s hot garbage and people can play call of duty instead.
Got to be honest, this is the first I’ve even heard of this game.
XDefiant sounds like an anticheat.
That seems to be a problem with their expectations, not the game.
It’s also a problem that it’s exclusive to the Ubisoft launcher and isn’t on Steam…
I was going to play it, but poor linix compatibility with the ubisoft launcher killed that for me.
It was enough to make me too lazy to bother even when the hype was there. Now it seems even the community that plays/played it is negative on it so even less likely to bother with Ubisoft launcher for it than at launch. I have UPlay installed too, but I don’t even know if anyone in my friend list from Steam was playing it compared to other games that they are shown playing.
The market is so saturated with these type of shooters — especially ones with generic army dudes.
I’m not really surprised.
What is the last Ubisoft game that actually did well?
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, I assume
Not even enticing people with “free premium currency” just for logging in could entice me to play an Ubisoft shooter.
