They need a change. I feel like it's so much talent that goes to waste.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint landed with a thud in October, both critically and commercially. In a call with investors later that month, Guillemot said Breakpoint had "been strongly rejected by a significant portion of the community" and that it "did not come in with enough differentiation factors, which prevented the game's intrinsic qualities from standing out."
Really....that applies to most of their games.
And the games need more soul. They make pretty good ones that can be fun but it's always missing some charm and originality to match the quality.
Like an overall tone that is not ... bleh.
More unique, original and fun, less bleh, or cringe.
Not fully on-topic but remember in Far Cry 4 (great game IMO, but I had skipped 3 at that point, and skipped the ones after that were rapid-fire releases) - everytime you went to save in those little huts, there'd be an NPC in there screaming bloody mary, saying "They're raping her!" over and over. Like fucking hell, I'm just trying to have some fun here.
And the Watch-Dogs story...like jeez. You're making a GTA type game....it doesn't need that sobstory drama. Or so many hipsters...
And with the gameplay, it's always the same story. A few different types of things to do, repeated to death. Maybe they'd benefit from trying to make some more linear games for a little while. Like, take a page from Rockstar, give us time to actually miss the games and spend that time making the game stellar instead of "another one of those".
