Ubisoft has become pretty bad as of late.

I'm not sure if anyone else realizes the severity of a company flat-out lying to customers about something like the Watch_Dogs graphics downgrade, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary (the actual unused files included in the game). I'm not sure if EA or Activision have ever done anything as bad as that.

Not sure about Activision, but EA certainly has.

Since they were advertising for BF3, they've been flat-out lying to customers, promising them a variety of things, but have consistently not delivered on things such as a spectator mode, or that their super-awesome frostbite engine is built from the ground-up, despite somehow having the exact same bugs as the previous engines. They're also great for saying "Yeah the last game had these bugs and was bad, but THIS game will be better...aaaand it's still shit, broken in the same ways".

Then, when the official forums flared up about it all, they closed it down :) That's how I ended up on a "refugee forum", sorta like this place for BF, and am virtually updated daily on EA's bullshit generator.

To be fair I think Ubisoft has fallen off a cliff lately, but I still don't think they've met EA on the way down...yet.
Thanks for the reminder, I stopped keeping track of the Battlefield promises drama a long time ago. Although, I'm not sure if breaking promises is as bad as denying they were ever broken, or that they existed in the first place. But then again, if they really are making a new engine each time, why do they keep having the same pitfalls? >.>

Are you referring to MordorHQ?

'Free' stuff doesn't exclude a year of fuck ups, or trying to hide said fuck ups by holding back review copies. What has Activision done to even compare this year?

Activision had the same review embargo on destiny that ubi had on unity. Reviewers couldn't get up reviews until long after the general populous did.

The butchering of destiny into a chopped up DLC scam

Making entire game modes that were advertised in call of duty aw AND in previous games part of the season pass.

Yes unity had bugs but most of them are patched up or will be soon enough

Activision and Ubosoft are rightfully tied.

EA is still Klingon shit but they have managed to go buy without anything as gratuitously heinous as AC Unity  or Destiny (for this year)

God damnit. I had a long ass response, then my connection crapped out when I tried to post >:[
Meh, Destiny being poop doesn't even begin to tip the scales in my mind. Ubisoft has shit the bed too many times this year.

Ubisoft, uncontestedly.

Watch_Dogs was okay but there were too many publicity shenanigans and advertisement issues.

Unity was Assassin's Creed.

LolRogue


We'll see about The Crew.



Activision would be close but AW saved them.
The fuck's wrong with Rogue?

I haven't played it but all my friends have. They say its horribly boring and is basically Black Flag: The Side Missions.

Main character is so generic and boring. Dialogue is akin to III.

Not to mention it's a complete cash grab, but you could say that about all AC games.

I hate to say it, but Ubisoft.  I've really liked a lot of their titles starting with Prince of Persia, but they REALLY ate shit this year.  With the Watch_Dogs overhype and graphics fiasco (though they did have practically downgrade it so it could go onto the 360 and PS3) and Unity's launch-week disaster, I feel like they're high off of their own explosion of success.  I'm not saying they're EA-quality bad, but they've really let me down as a gamer and fan this year.  Rogue wasn't bad, but I'm more cautious about the next Ubisoft title I'll pick up.

Black Flag is a brilliant game.
And Rogue is being praised for its darker story.

They ported Final Fantasy XIII to PC. I can't really think of anything else.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.

I have no idea, man. This year was the last time I buy a Ubisoft game new, though. My favourite AC game is III and even then, it's pretty shitty.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

All of you faggots voting Activision are too delusional to see Bungie was going to make a shit game regardless of their interaction.

Ubisoft are the new EA.

I have attempted to play them many times but just can't get into them. I do think the series is turning into the CoD syndrome of playing it safe, and I'm dissapointed they didn't make another idea as ambitious as boat combat.
