2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

Assassin's Creed died after 2 when they fired the creator.

I'm glad I stopped playing after I finished 2. Everything after felt wrong, and I always felt the game was a trilogy. 3 just never really showed up.

Not sure how the game was so popular after they betrayed the original spirit, but I can only guess seeing things like this is difficult for people.

I actually never liked the first many parts of AC. Just not my cup of tea. Yet I found origins to be nice and absolutely love odyssey.

If you’re referring to Patrice Désilets, he also worked on Brotherhood - which is commonly considered the best entry in the series of that generation.

But now knowing his full history with Ubisoft, it exciting so much why Revelations and AC3 felt like a step backwards…

It's fucking important for any gamer with a shred of concious humanity to boycott this game and make it fail.

The money this game was funded by comes directly and only from blooded oppression of a dictatorship. From forced unpresented taxes and bloody oil money of terrorisim. They beheaded and killed all their human-right activist citizens and protestors who tried to ask for their share that went to this game.

mmm some mighty fine propaganda and racims you have there

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

racism?!? what are you talking about ?? are you replying to my comment?!? They regularly execute all human right activists and protestors. I don't get where is the racism in that?

'Talking with partners who do not share our democratic values does not mean abandoning them'

Yeah, and I only allow peeing in one corner of the pool.

.....the....partners you literally just joined with for this one specific deal? That's called a client, not a partner, and it happens all the time.

In the Dlc you assassinate a journalist in an embassy.

The staff should refuse to contribute. Tell them no on religious grounds on account of chopping journalists into pieces being a big no-no.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ugh. Cram your propaganda where the sun won't shine. So glad to have not bought mirage yet. And now I surely won't. Despite me liking the ubi games. Yeah I said it, now downvote me like hell for it 😁

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

If you'd like to don your eyepatch and tricorn, a dev build (ie Denuvo-less) of v1.0.6 got leaked last November.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Ah, thanks for the into. Dunno who downvoted you for that.

[–] t_berium@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

Another reason not to buy any Ubisoft game.

[–] Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fun fact. Every time some company is about to go bankrupt, somehow Saudi money gets injected. Why? I don't know.

Ubisoft must be struggling a lot.

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Saudi Arabia has had a lot of success in improving their international reputation through ‘sportswashing’.

This just comes as a natural extension of this, seeing to but their way into the good graces of gamers.

Yeah well they're always gonna be fascist slave owners who murder nonconformists until they stop that shit. That's the only way they can improve their reputation. Everything else is just painting the turd.
