I haven't bought any of their this year becaause of the sexual abuse so I am sorry but I won't give them credit.
I think a company valued at around $4 billion known for rampant sexual abuse and weirdly right-leaning but insistently "apolitical" theming will be just fine without more credit.
You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Ubisoft.
How many worked on CP2077 though? The 1000 people at CDPR is only counting their internal staff, not all the contractors.Well obviously. I'm not saying that the average staffing was that high, just that the number of people who contributed is much higher. The fact of the matter remains that more people worked on TLOU2 and RDR2, and the games were made over a longer period of time. Hence why those games have nearly unparallelled production values.
The source that has 2k people on TLoU 2, puts Odyssey at over 4k, I believe they count the credits. Far more than 1k work on AC nowadays, usually the main studio alone is 1k strong.Well obviously.

The games are very mediocre so what exactly do they deserve credit for.
You've pretty much echoed my sentiments completely. I've grown tired of their "quantity over quality" template approach to game design over the years. Immortals looks like the first thing to interest me, but yeah, I'll get it used. Ubisoft isn't getting a nickel out of me while Yves is still in charge. He knew about everything and hid it all for years.They deserve nothing, as others have said. All things considered, I'm surprised that Ubisoft isn't getting the same type of treatment Cyberpunk has got here on ERA. I imagine it'd be harder, since they release multiple games a year.
But still.
I personally have no interest in buying their games. If I get anything from them, it'll be Immortals, and it'll be second hand after it's like 20€. I have to say, however, that I'm not sacrificing much. I've tried to get into AC mutliple times and, while the setting and enviroments are appealing, I've dreaded every single aspect of their gameplay in every title I've tried.
The only way CP could be worse is if it was more like a Ubisoft gameTbh playing Cyberpunk really made me appreciate Ubi a lot more. Their game design is predictable and design by committee but it at least manages to result in games that can sustain themselves for fairly lengthy playtimes. CP2077 feels like 6 hours of game stretched out to 50.
Of course that same criticism was what people made against AC1, the game that CP2077 reminds me most about. So it took a long time to get to where they are now
Ubisoft has a massive 3,000+ staff. They def crank out games at a regular clip.
CD-Proj were due all the shit that's been thrown their way recently, but IMO Ubisoft deserves way worse. Not because of the state their games launch in, but because they knowingly defended/harbored sexual abusers and rapists in the upper echelons of the company.

i usually don't comment on these types of threads but really fucking good 1st comment.I think a company valued at around $4 billion known for rampant sexual abuse and weirdly right-leaning but insistently "apolitical" theming will be just fine without more credit.
I haven't played Cyberpunk, but ACV crashed on me about 20 times, many field prompts wouldn't respond and I couldn't finish the alliance arc because an essential NPC just stopped in a field, and the NPCs wouldn't gather at the location for the final battle. I'm not a hater of Ubi soft games whatever but I was really disappointed in the state the game is in.
Friend. This forum is the wrong place to say anything positive about Ubisoft
You're right though
