It's morally correct to pirate any game. If you end up liking it, you buy it. That's the deal and I don't see any problems with it. If your game is good, people will pay for it. But the customer deserves to see if the product is worthwhile.

Add sony and EA to that list too

Correct, but I'm not going to bother. I don't play a game made by ppl that hate me, even if it's free. Ghost of tsushima is on pc, I'll be playing that

It's almost seems to be their goal at this point. They just want everyone subscribed to Ubisoft+

Well, you can obviously still get excited over the concept/premise/setting of the game as shown in the cinematic. But the cinematic will never be an indicator of what the game itself will be. That holds extra true for Ubisoft.

It still surprises me that people still play assassins creed. As a old fan of the franchise. I got so tired of it as time passed. Like he says in the video. There is one or two AC per year. Different from other franchises that you beat a game and wait around 3 years for the new one and get all excited. Every time i beated AC i found out after there were three new ones and i had no will to play it a new one for a while(because like most of people, i like to play other types of games too). How there are some people who still enjoys playing it surprises me.

People are just dumb. They will just buy shit becauee they feel there supposed to

I did with ff16, but that was because the trailer for ff15 was amazing and after I played ff15 and the cinematic are just as good on top of the amazing gameplay. I have trust in square in that regards despite them being a bit woke. But with them trying to go multi platform there is hope and I do hope they fire everyone in their ethics department. So they can continue to make amazing games

Yeah i don't get why people get excited over stuff like gta 6 when rockstar hasn't refreshed their gameplay for 15 years and people still get excited over it....

always has been a generic rpg tbh. AC1 being more linear & with AC2,3 Revelation/Brotherhood, Black Flag, Mirage, Odyssey etc all were generic RPGs nothing was special about them. Some had always some unique features that made the game "special" but thats about it. the core of the game was always a basic RPG. the biggest was prob Black Flag with their ship mechanics & features but thats about it. if u dont believe me go back in time replay them & find out the horrific truth. 10 years ago we had difference experience so the impact was difference when the "series was dope" cuz there was nothing else compared to it. in reality it was always the same.

Yep all thanks to the pile of shit that was Odessy and the even bigger pile of shit that was Valhalla I’m only leaving out origins because to be fair that was a genuinely great game

That was said by Alex Hutchinson, the creative director of the most questionable Assassin’s Creed game, Assassin’s Creed 3.

The difference is that Nioh is a dark fantasy re-imagining of that time period, and with that setting they get way more leeway, like kodama, ghosts, spirits, demons, magic weapons, etc. Having said that, even Nioh is a lot more historically accurate, since William Adams is an actual historical figure who helped Tokugawa Ieyasu become shogun in 1600 using guns and weapons supply by the Dutch. On the other hand, Yasuke only got his footnote in Japanese history _because_ he was black, he was basically a fucking unicorn in Japan at a time when conservative, isolationist politics were at an all time high during the Sengoku period. Besides, the guy wasn't even a "legendary samurai" Ubishit tries to make him out to be, he was nothing but a servant to Oda Nobunaga, and he only stayed in Japan for three years. That's it.
