What is your favorite Ubisoft franchise?
- Thread starter Cosmic Voyager
- Start date
Prince of Persia was the greatest thing at its time. Splinter Cell is probably the most hard-core enjoyable out of their franchises but it's done. Assassin's Creed is a franchise that has its moments of luster but Ubisoft itself tries to put it down with awful writing and bland presentation. Watch Dogs had a blan first entry but a quite fun and varied second one.
It's a hard question.

Assassin's Creed i own nearly every game excluding some of the smaller indie titles. Fun games with a ton of content.
Also Rainbow Six back in the day.

SF was great! There was so much to do! I even had fun going for the trophy that required you take a picture of someone vomiting. lol
Tough call between Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell. The Sands of Time and Chaos Theory are two of the best games ever made. I love Rainbow Six as well.
If I had to choose it would probably have to be Prince of Persia.

Rainbow 6 is my favorite Ubisoft franchise,
Prince of Persia 08, Assassin's Creed 2 & Brotherhood are my favorite Ubisoft games
Black Flag, Rainbow 6 Vegas 1 get my honorable mentions and maybe Odyssey.
Assassin's Creed would rank higher as a franchise if it
1. Didn't kill Prince of Persia
2. Didn't have garbage like 3 in it

Anno and Heroes of Might and Magic.
Both are originally from other companies and suffered from the aquisition, but Anno 1800 is a really great game and a return to form, while I can only hope that one day Ubisoft will give HOMM a similar treatment and budget again. HOMM V is such a good game and then they completely ruined it with VI and VII.

At the moment Rayman. But if future Watch Dogs games are as great as the second game that will become my favorite.

Assassin's Creed. I've bought every single game save for Brotherhood (I think it's that one). It is without a doubt, the highest budget, most ambitious third-party AAA game every year it comes out. Always a spectacle and ALWAYS has tons to do (even if it's formulaic)
Assassin's Creed though having finished Odyssey recently I sincerely hope the next one isn't such a bloated mess full of inconsequential side stuff.
So many dope franchises but my top choice is ac, it pretty much defined hd gaming for me ever since ac2 only one I didn't enjoy was unity
After that it gets really tough
Rayman 2 the great escape is my favorite 3d platformer (until Mario odyssey) origins and legend show are great 2d platformer as well
Splinter cell was defining during the Xbox era and again with blacklist
I'm one of the few people who will admit they loved the og watch dogs, but watch dogs 2 made it even better
That's not even getting into ghost recon and the division
Ubi is easily my favorite publisher

Watch Dogs 1 and 2 were great. Like really great. Watch Dogs 1 had a great story and challenging gameplay. Watch Dogs 2 was just as fun, had a great story, although it didn't offer as much of a challenge.
Prince of Persia, by leaps and bounds. Sands of Time is one of the best games of all time, and the whole trilogy it started was excellent.
I honestly don't particularly like any other Ubisoft games. Assassin's Creed 2 was good, but the annualization of the series killed my interest in it, and the sharp turn into RPG-land killed it even more.

Rainbow Six through Raven Shield
Ghost Recon through Island Thunder
Splinter Cell through Chaos Theory

Took long enough for this to get mentioned. But R6 for me too.
AssCreed is emblematic of everything I hate about Ubisoft and modern game design, and Prince of Persia, despite having two incredible entries, also features my personal "worst game I've ever played", so those franchises are out.
Splinter Cell all the way.
Splinter Cell all the way.
I enjoy Assassin's Creed the most of Ubisoft's franchises, and even that is with a detached, aloof kind of amusement. Splinter Cell could've been a good winner, but I've only played the first two games, and that was over a decade ago.
I was going to say Far Cry because I loved the first, but I guess I got sick of it by the time 3 came around. I can say the same for Assassin's Creed, too.
I guess I'll have to go with Splinter Cell, even though the only ones I've beaten were Chaos Theory on the Gamecube and Conviction. I still need to get around to playing Blacklist...

Assassin's Creed has the most all-around appeal as a series: characters, storytelling, visuals, and setting are all strongly in favor of Assassin's Creed. Splinter Cell would be my #2 choice, as it's basically been my preferred stealth game for the past decade and a half.
Fuck yeah. I loved that game as well.Prince of Persia 2008
So, yeah...
