Won't buy from Ubisoft again so it wouldn't matter anyways to me. They've burnt any good will I initially had for them.

Goodwill asside, their games just aren't even fun. They're all the same game loop:

  • walk around listening to an unskippable dialogue
  • climb to the top of something to clear out part of the map and place a bunch of markers on it
  • go to the various markers to collect pointless garbage
  • fight some trash mobs with a very generous parry-based combat system
  • complete the next main questline
  • get a weapon upgrade you'll immediately forget about
  • repeat

Yeah true. I haven't been interested in almost anything they've put out in recent memory.
