Seriously do they even know how to make a fun game? Tom Clancy games are realistic to the point where they are no fun to play. Brothers in Arms sucks. Assassin's Creed had potential but they screwed that up. And Far Cry 2 looks meh. Great graphics but the campaign vids look really dull.

Why does this company always get so much praise? They go for realism over fun which is NOT what makes good games. If I wanted a overly realistic shooter I'd go join the real army.

I like Ubisoft quite a bit, they have given me alot of good games over the years, but their games always seem to lag online when they first come out.

They fool you once, shame on you. They fool you twice, shame on you.

Anyways, I only praise Ubi for their action/adventure games, which always live up to my hype. I can't wait for Prince of Persia! :)

They have a few random good games. They don't pump out tons of awesomeness like EA, Capcom or Nintendo though.

If I wanted a shooter I would go out and kill people.

If I wanted a plataformer I would go out and jump like an idiot.

Some people like some things and others don't, live with it.

Besides I think the last time Ubisoft made a realistic game was with Rainbow Six Raven Shield, which was awesome btw, unlike the modern R6. Ugh.

Because Rainbow 6, Ghost Recon, and Splinter Cell are awesome, well actually Rainbow 6 and Vegas 1/2, Ghost Recon 2 and GRAW 1 and 2, and then Splinter Cell 1 and 3.

Ubisoft are really good publishers, and their studios are some of the best in the business.

They always try to push in envelope, which can only be a good thing.

The Tom Clancy games were alright (RB6 and Splinter Cell, hated GR), Far Cry 2 looks promissing, and Assasins Creed was as boring as taking a dump.

Overall I do think Ubisoft could do better than what they have been doing these last couple years but they are certainly not the most overrated game company ever. (that belongs to bungie)

I would say some Ubisoft games are overrated before I say the company is. Games like Rain Bow Six Vegas 2, and No More Heroes are incredibly overrated. I know No More Heroes is a Wii title but its ugly, Zelda Twilight Princess looked good and that is on the Wii. Also every-time you had to recharge the sword in the game (No More Heroes), it looked like your character was m*********, and when you were finished recharging a white sword would light up.

The last Ubisoft game I bought was Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory for Xbox, and I still play it from time to time. The graphics were killer for the time and it is still fun.

I disagree. This game is old but Sands of Time was a really great game in both gameplay, story and story execution. They made that game so I can't ever say they are over rated. I don't play their other titles but do they have a high number of AAA and AA titles in their collection?

All they used to be was a company who made good mario, zelda and metroid games. Now they are a company that makes high qualty mario, zelda, smash brother, animal crossing, pikmin, etc, etc, ad nauseum etc. Nintendo haters baffle me. They say current Nintendo is bad yet most current gen Nintendo games are AAA or higher on metacritic/game rankings. The lowest ones are like AA. Since when is a library thats exclusively AA+ material the mark of a bad developer?

Epic only makes two games in one genre and one of them is fail, yet nobody beats them over the head.

Konami makes like one good game every 5 years but people don't bash them.

Nintendo makes like multiple AA and AAA titles every year and they are heralded as the scum of the Earth.

I like Ubisoft. Splinter Cell is so awesome, and Conviction has been delayed now for a while. If it was EA, we'd be at Splinter Cell 8 right now. Far Cry 2 looks pretty good too. GRAW is great, and I don't see Ubisoft being greedy scum buying out any developer they can. In the past year, EA has scooped up Pandemic and Bio-ware, and then tried to buy-out Take-Two for a while. Ubisoft is a more respectable company, even if they do milk the hell out of Rainbow Six and a few other series.

I think Unisoft is very good

GRAW- AAA here and on Metacritic
GRAW 2- AA here and on Metacritic
Rainbow Six Vegas 1- AAA here AA on metacritic
Rainbow Six Vegas 2- AA here and AA on metacritic
Assassins Creed- AAA here and AA on metacritic
Farcry 2- AA Here, and so far AA on metacritic

Then there is EndWar and HAWX on the way.....the Tom Clancy name doesn't even connect all those franchises....hell Tom CLancy has only been a title for the sake of sales moreso than any connection of the franchises.

They have Prince of Persia as well on the way...a completely redone game for that franchise.

I think Ubisoft is damn good.

we had a splintercell every year almost before this delay on conviction...

DOuble Agent was such a rehash, and an average SC to boot.

EA has published some fantastic projects, and milked what there sports titles...

They have published 3 big games this year alone...all 3 new IPS

Dead SPace- Awesome

Mirror's Edge
Left 4 Dead

Then they published Spore

Crysis and Crysis Warhead this gen.

Hell EA has been Anti EA all gen.....Sure there inhouse Studios aren't bringing in the praise, but as a publisher they are funding some of the best projects in gaming.

Bioware and Pandemic should only improve with the big budgets they will probably start getting.

Prince of Persia is what a lot of people praise. And people like the realistic tactical shooters, I don't like when games try to be too realistic but Rainbow Six (the older ones) are really fun because of the tension, you get more tense than in a freaking horror game when all your team-mates are dead and there's 1 terrorist left but you don't know where and 2 shots and you're dead.

like pushing in the bugs and cutting edge graphics and pushing out the great gamplay ie splinter double agent is worse than the first splinter cell in every way except graphics, bugs bugs bugs and broken gameplay

Apply that notion to Splinter Cell, Beyond Good & Evil, King Kong, or Prince of Persia.

you are right about assasains creed, tom clancy and rb6 games sucking.

i dont think tom clancy sucks because of too much realism, whilst the game its pretty slow and boring it is not too realistic, games such as red orchestra are more realistic yet still fun to play.

Seriously do they even know how to make a fun game? Tom Clancy games are realistic to the point where they are no fun to play. Brothers in Arms sucks. Assassin's Creed had potential but they screwed that up. And Far Cry 2 looks meh. Great graphics but the campaign vids look really dull.

Why does this company always get so much praise? They go for realism over fun which is NOT what makes good games. If I wanted a overly realistic shooter I'd go join the real army.

xboxplayer1990

So you do not like games they make.

I do not care for your opinion.

They would be bankrupt if they were that bad as you say.

While Vegas 2 was a bit too close to the first one, graphically and gameplay-wise, anyone who says that the first Vegas sucks...I don't even know what to say. Great online play for a console game that early, decent enough friendly AI, great guns, really fun commando action sequences (rappelling, busting down doors, etc),and one of the best cover mechanics employed in an fps. Far Cry 2 has turned out well, overall, and I'm sure PoP will as well. Honestly, as far as big-corporation devs go, I'm always amazed by the consistent level of quality Ubi turns out.
