"This version does not represent the final state of the game" Ubisoft insists as if devs will miraculously fix everything players discover in a single month. Sometimes it takes me a month to get my coworkers to give my merge requests a first look.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Could be a much older dev version too.

And they are physical copies as well.

What are they going to do, overwrite the disks again?

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

With how much vitriol this game has been receiving whenever it’s mentioned I’d assumed it was already out and people had played it to completion to be able to espouse such views.

[–] Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I played it to completion (my uncle works at nintendo), and I can confirm that it's woke bullshit (there's both women AND black people in the game).

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

You liar ! Sega makes Animal Crossing : Shadows, cuz nintendon't.

[–] telllos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Outrageous!

Making gamers pick one or the other is peak baiting, and I'm here for the inevitable fury from people who think Elon Musk is a genius.

[–] doomcanoe@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly it is a stroke of brilliance from Ubisoft. Bait the anti-woke crowd to drown out any legitimate complaints about your business practices or game design.

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Anyone who would complain about game design has already stopped buying or caring about Ubisoft products years ago.

[–] doomcanoe@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Certainly true, but we haven't stopped complaining.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Does that mean the physical copies of this game actually have the full, playable game on them and it doesn't need some bullshit zero day patch to actually get up and running? That's actually amazing. That shit doesn't happen anymore.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago

It's apparently pretty rough and "doesn't represent final game quality", so get ready for the day one patch to fix exactly none of the issues in this build, and instead just ram a bunch of pointless funbucks in there instead.

[–] Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was under the impression physical copies of games were actually just licenses to download and play the real thing. It's pretty cool to know that consoles can still play (some?) games, in case of cataclysm.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

I'm not sure I've had a single console game where that's the case. Everything has multiple GBs to install from disc.

Closest is the Spyro Trilogy that only had the first of the games on the disc. But what else do you expect from Activision...

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mental copies were leaked later.

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Who liquefies all those things that leak in recent years anyway?

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I have been seeing a lot of gameplay talk, were their beta releases or something?

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Stolen physical copies. Supposedly they postponed the game release last moment so it already got distributed and things started getting funny.

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (24 children)

Which presumably means whatever last minute critical bug they discovered is not fixed in those physical copies and likely some others aren't fixed either.

[–] twoface@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's gonna get the typical AAA treatment. 100GB day one patch

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

But not for leaked copies before official release.

With all the money they have you’d think Ubisoft would rebuild this franchise from the ground up. New engine, new everything. I played mirage and it has the same buggy issues that the series has had since the start.

It’s just a reskin year after year

[–] Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You played the throwback game built on a "new engine, new everything" and you're still crying about it. It's exactly because they listen to dimwits like you (the lowest common denominator) that their games suck shit

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s my fault cause I want my games to be better? I didn’t pay for it, i got it from the library.

Second point though, what causes you to respond so rudely and like a trashy person at a stranger because of video games? Is it the Internet and lack of face to face that makes you dehumanized and insult me over nothing or do you talk this way to people irl too?
