Support NeoGAF

[Stuart360]

Just said on their prestream, where they are showing stats for 2020.

Now they have their subscription service, so its not 141mil sales, but its probably 130mil+ minus subs.

Makes you wonder why they are intent on changing how they make games going forward, although i'd still exprect the big franchises like Assassins Creed to stay as they are.

 

[Jack Uzi]

Why

 

[ShaikhCroft]

There's a few f2p games as well!

 

[Animagic]

I was one of them. I like some of their games a lot.

 

[GloveSlap]

I'm not hating on Ubi, but i don't think i've played anything of theirs since the first Division.

 

[The artful mincer]

I wasn't one of them lol. I don't dislike ubisoft they seem to take more creative risks than EA and especially Activision.

But none of there game interest me

 

[SantaC]

141 million got ripped off.

 

[Chukhopops]

I thought Immortals Fenyx Rising was the best open world game in years, not sure why people hate Ubisoft so much.

 

[ShaikhCroft]

I played AC Valhalla, Watch Dogs and The Division 2 last year. Will they count me as 1 or 3?

 

[Mr Moose]

I bought a few of their games last year, am I counted as more than one gamer?

Thought the same thing lol.

 

[GymWolf]

Guilty as charge, but i did a session with lachiffre after every play to punish my body and purify my soul

Spoiler

 

[ZywyPL]

Their IPs are massive, whether someone likes it or not. AC, FC, WD, R6, Division,TrackMania, Brawhalla and so on, those numbers don't surprise me at all.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I played Division 2 this year and honestly it’s way better than I expected

 

[[Sigma]]

141 million lost souls

 

[Kenpachii]

Great ip's ac vallhalla / fenix was great

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Played AC Valhalla, Fenyx, WDL lately, all 9/10 to me, or 4.5 stars.

Tens of millions of those are likely in one game with a AAA budget but they support it and treat it like a free-to-play game in terms of support support it as a GaaS game. Since they are still expanding on games like Brawhalla, The Crew 2, For Honor, etc. there's probably still significant paying player baes for those games.. I didn't hear the quote fully, but subtract ubisioft subs, Microsoft subs and subtract games sold previously years. 2020 stats doesn't necessarily mean it only includes games only released in 2020.

 

[Paasei]

Yep, I like R6: Siege.

And I'm also interested in the discovery tour for Valhalla. That feature is the greatest thing they have ever done in AC games.

 

[Yoboman]

I havent played many Ubisoft games sinxe the Splinter Cells died but I appreciate what they do. They are very consistent and have a good mix of SP and MP

 

[Stuart360]

One of my fave games of last year. In fact Ubisoft made most of my fave games from last year lol.
Honestly dont get the hate with them.

 

[Fake]

'Gamers'.

Most of the hate comes from too much potential and usually served undercooked. Sadly, that's their reality in all their games. But they take risks like no other 3rd party and bring many new flavors to gaming.

 

[scalman]

because its best 3rd person adventure open worlds and best 1st person shooters with story to play solo out there.. plz someone make better then talk or shut up rly...

 

[Kilau]

I thought Immortals Fenyx Rising was the best open world game in years, not sure why people hate Ubisoft so much.

I plan to pick that up now that all the DLC is out(I think) it looks fantastic.

Just have to pick the platform.

 

[Neil Young]

Ubisoft makes great games and the numbers prove it. This hate hard on people have for the company is "Would not bang, knees too sharp." levels of cringe. Get over yourselves, the games are good and TONS of people like them. If you refuse to play the Mario Kingdom battle games, the division, farcry, ass creed etc because lol ubisoft...good, you win, you're a REAL gamer. Now tell the class what games, and company, are SO much better. I love games and would like to know.

Big numbers doesn't prove the quality of something. AT. ALL.
I won't detail here because I'm lazy but you can do some research on that. It has to do with marketing, ads, sponsoring etc...

It’s really great, they took all the good ideas from BotW, improved some aspects (made flying more fun in particular), kept the Ubisoft progression style but did not litter the map with hundreds of activities like in AC so everything you do feels useful. The writing was surprisingly good, the game looks great and runs at 60 FPS on next gen.

With a bit more enemy and weapon variety it would be practically flawless.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Agreed. I actually enjoy most of their stuff

 

[Chiggs]

Played the heck out of Far Cry 5 last year. Playing the heck out of AC Valhalla right now, though Ratchet is distracting me.

Capcom

Square-Enix
Hell, EA has a better line-up on average than Ubisoft. Especially if you’re into sports

You’re acting as if their games are great. They are average at best. Every once in a while they release something amazing, but their reputation is well deserved.

 

[GHG]

The fast food chain of the gaming industry.

This is a pretty accurate description.

I see their open world games like comfort food. Nice to play from time to time when you're in the mood but frequent consumption will make you feel terrible and jaded.

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

People love to bitch and moan about Ubisoft and i used to be one of them, the fact of the matter is Ubisoft is THE best AAA developer and puplisher in the world right now.

I'm happy i came to love Ubi again, they were among my favorites since the release of Prince of Persia and SC back in the early 2000s.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Why

I’ve learned that “Covid” is the catch-all answer to every gaming-related “why?” of 2020.

Lol! So it’s something we’ve resorted to doing?

 

[tony19957]

My sympathies are with each one of them

 

[CitizenZ]

Good for them that's close to the total sales of GTA5. Fucking circus barkers.

 

[AJUMP23]

I like the AC games. I will get the new Mario and rabids game.

 

[Portugeezer]

Well deserved.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm honestly legit surprised.

 

[ZehDon]

That's a pretty impressive set of numbers. I'm still enjoying The Division 2, and they released some good games in the last year, so I can see why.

 

[abel empire]

Probably 100 milliom played mobile

 

[Alex Anderson]

I'm one of them unfortunately. They have the Wheel of Fortune license, outsourced the PS4 game to China and it's the buggiest piece of shit ever made.

 

[iHaunter]

I think the last game I played was AC Black Flag. Last game worth buying.

 

[Corgi1985]

nothing they have has matched the blandness of fallen order so they aren't the worst. I mean it's modern gaming so most of it is awful, the bar for ubisoft to clear to make adequate games by comparison is very low.

 

[TwiztidElf]

I was going to say "and I'm not one of them".
Then I realized that I've definitely played Steep (that I got with PS+ ages ago) some time in the last year.

 

[LordBlodgett]

I played through AC:Odyssey and a little bit of Watch Dogs 2 last year. Their games are all over the place, and often on sale. I am not surprised by these numbers at all.

 

[hybrid_birth]

My girls always like U be soft today. I tell her to remove some clothing. So I'll be hard.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Yep, played a ton of AC Valhalla end of last year.

 

[Mokus]

Most likely they are including smartphone gamers too.
