"7 Reasons 'Assassin's Creed [Unity]' Is the Least Playable Game Ever"

Cracked, there has been a definitive downward slide in the quality of your overall output lately, but this one is one of the good ones.

Also, unlike on most other Internet websites, the comments under this article are pretty good as well (at least as long as you press the button to sort by votes first, anyway). Of course, replies to said comments may not be the most intelligent in the world, mind you, but you can't win 'em all.

LOL. Their stock went down by a bit over 12% over the release of this game? That's priceless.

It says it was already recovering by the time the cracked article was posting, but you realize what was recovering it. It was basically a lot of people that thought "woo. Cheap ubisoft stock. Let's buy it now since it'll likely go up in price before long."

I'm guessing that's the only reason they're paying any lipservice to all this BS and going on about changing the way they'll be doing things in the future. In the end this is just another of those times when a publisher takes a step too far and realizes "oh shit, too soon to be able to do this?" and takes half a step back.

Yeah, that's the only reason they're giving a shit about this. Otherwise, they'd just be coming up with bullshit reasons for why they're actually doing a good job. Just like how they called their always online DRM a "success" back when they first started using it, even though it was demonstrably piss-poor, given that some of their games were literally unplayable due to server downtime and outages and other such shit.

Additionally for some reason I feel like we're going to hear about a CEO "stepping down" within a year. 12.5%+ of your stock value is a pretty tough pill for shareholders to swallow I'm betting. Especially when a major AAA game release is suppose to INCREASE one's stock/profits and whatnot.
