What is your favorite Ubisoft franchise?
- Thread starter Cosmic Voyager
- Start date
I've always regarded Ubisoft as an overgrown mass-market husk that justifies its existence by supporting whatever Michel Ancel is up to with Rayman, or secondarily BG&E.
Well AC2 and Brotherhood I have played, but I think Forgotten Sands Wii is significantly better. It has very imaginative level / puzzle design, using the Wii Remote really well. Probably one of the greatest surprise hits I have ever played.
Probably Ass Creed as I have fallen off/never really got into Far Cry, 2 (the one I really like) and 3 was all I could manage, Splinter Cell is dead but damn if those first 3 weren't fire, and never got into Watch Dogs. No real opinion on the others. I've fallen off AC too so I hope next gen brings some excitement back to me for Ubisoft games.
Splinter Cell > OG Assasins Creed > Watch Dogs > Prince of Persia > New Assassins Creed > Far Cry (I never played a Rayman)
Splinter cell by far. They usually have a great campaign and Spies versus mercenaries is the best multiplayer of any online game.
Easily Assassin's Creed, played every main line game in the series and enjoyed most of them. Second would probably be Anno, very underrated series.
Splinter cell by a landslide for me. Then ghost recon and then rainbow six.
I love siege a fucking shit ton but in terms of actual franchises it ranks 3rd in my list.

Beyond Good & Evil and Splinter Cell are easily Ubi's highest highs for me.
I did genuinely enjoy Odyssey, which was my first Ass. Creed, for 60-70 hours before burning out. Less padding, less hand holding, more reactivity, and open world design that focused less on checklisty activities and a bit more on immersion & world building would've made that game special. Kassandra is easily their best character since Jade.
Not much of a fan otherwise.

It used to be Assassin's Creed before they changed it to a repetitive, grindy RPG. Now it's Watch Dogs mainly because of Watch Dogs 2 being one of my games of the decade.
Splinter cell is the only Ubi series i really love. The other franchises.. I've only tried the original assassin's Creed and never clicked on me, maybe i may give it a chance in the future, since the series have evolved it seems.... The other ones don't interest me at all
voted Far Cry cause I liked playing those coop with my bro. But Assassin's Creed seems better made from what I've seen so far in the later entries
Also like Ghost Recon Wildlands. Waiting on them to fix that new Breakpoint tho and will get it on a deep sale

under "Other." The poll only lets you put so many options, and I'd catch so much grief if I put one of those in over AC, FC, Rayman, etc.

I'm seriously surprised by that too, especially considering it's Ubi's 3rd best selling franchise

Assassin's Creed has moved a bit too far away from what I wanted the series to be (and I really didn't enjoy the couple I played before that either), so my vote goes to Splinter Cell.
If only they'd bring it back.

Assassins Creed; Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell; and the old style Ghost Recon and Rainbow games.
Assassin's Creed.....although Watch Dogs is getting there,I really enjoyed both of those games a lot and 3 set in London should be fantastic on PS5.
Prince of Persia and Rayman, I've always been one for tightly crafted level design over large open worlds and I don't like Tom Clancy/military games.
AssCreed games, even at their worst, scratch that virtual tourism itch the way no other games can .so they got my vote .
I would have voted watch_dogs if UBI didnt chicken out and gave us a dogs game where you cant rely on guns at all and have to use hacking shenanigans to get past all obstacles .
