How the fuck does Ubi-Soft get away with making the same game over and over?

How the fuck does Ubi-Soft get away with making the same game over and over?

...

you already know the answer nerd. people buy it. Your wallet is pretty much the only vote you have

Female lead will keep sales down. I'm not sure why companies do this.

It's honestly impressive at this point. The last game I got from Ubisoft was The Division and that was only due to it being prepackaged in with
my graphics card. Before that it was AssCreed3. I might get the Ghost Recon game if it turns out to be good.

That game isn't ubisoft

>I'm not sure why companies do this.
Perhaps for variety? Who the fuck would play Tombraider if it didn't have a female protagonist?

its not idiots like op say it is because you can unlock parts of the map and he thinks ubisoft are the first ones to put that in a game

Played the technical test of Ghost Recon Wildlands and it was a fucking mess, don't waste your time or money on it.

The protag is literally a dude in drag, I'm not supporting that bullshit

nice opinion

Stay insecure faggot

Actually gonna pick this up.

Hoping it will fix my monster hunter itch. Sick of god eaters and monster hunters on tiny ass screens.

Nice upvote

Games with female protags tend to be good.

All trash except the first

>moving goalpost

Uncharted sold more though.

True, but sonyggers really love their exclusive movies.

Whether they're trash or not that's not your original argument you idiot.

Excluding Siege which was a lucky fluke, what has Ubisoft done lately that wasn't either trash or forgotten immediately after release

I bought it for those dinosaur levels. Now the new games don't even have them because muh realism.

>Metroid
>Tomb Raider
>Resident Evil
>Beyond Good and Evil
>Mirror's Edge
>Transistor

Now fuck off

Not him, but is this bait? Those games don't sell that well at all.

Overwatch is selling mainly because of the females.

>Tomb Raider, Resident Evil and Metroid didn't sell well

It's ok when Nintendo does it

I'm pretty sure the Killzone guys are making Horizon. Not Ubishit

Why would super intelligent AI create robot dinosaurs anyway? For what purpose?

I'll take back Tomb Raider, but they didn't set the sales charts on fire. Uncharted definitely sold more

As for Resident Evil, that would be Code Veronica? Not sure how well that sold. There are other games, but they give you the option to play as a male
.

And no, Metroid does not sell that well.

The only Ubisoft games I've bought this decade are the Rayman platformers and South Park RPGs.

OP knows, he is just saying it like a insult

>Code Veronica
Just about every single Resident Evil has given you the choice to play as a female character even going so far as to feature them on the cover

Metroid Prime series has sold in the millions

>but they didn't set the sales charts on fire
I can point out plenty of male lead games that did the same.

Good games tend to be good.

The gender of the protagonist has very little to do with it, assuming the overall character design, atmosphere and art style are interesting.

Okay, but then you have multiple protagonists. You can call this "moving the goal posts," but it's not the same as heavily marketing a game as having a male lead.

>Metroid Prime series has sold in the millions
Trust me, it doesn't sell that well. Much worse than Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and even Animal Crossing. Some of these are compounded by having more games, but the Metroid games don't usually sell that well, and I don't think it's because of the gender of the lead.

Well, it's a game that would not have sold as well as it did without it being a reboot of a series with decent name recognition, but perhaps it would have done better if the lead was male.

I'm just correlating:
>black protag
more likely to be a shit game
>female protag
more likely to be a good game

Might as well be.

>Good games tend to be good.
>having such shit taste
lmao, kill yourself.

Then you have the Final Fantasy 13 trilogy, a widely hated trio of games however it is one of the highest selling Final Fantasy games and each one has Lightning right there on the cover.

Or how about those "kawaii uguu" games that feature lolis on their cover they keep making sequels upon sequels of them so someone must be clearly buying them.

So don't go about saying that a character's gender has anything to do with the sale of a game that only applies to people with a very shallow mindset who purchase games with how much they can "insert" with a character

XIII sold well, but significantly less than previous games in the series. Still, I think that sold on the strength of the Final Fantasy brand at the time.

>r how about those "kawaii uguu" games that feature lolis on their cover they keep making sequels upon sequels of them so someone must be clearly buying them.
Extremely, extremely niche. I guess those sort of games would sell better with female leads.

>character's gender has anything to do with the sale of a game that only applies to people with a very shallow mindset who purchase games with how much they can "insert" with a character
It's hard to say how much it has to do with it, but I don't think it's a coincidence that Gears, or Halo, of CoD, or Battlefield, or any of the highest selling series didn't have have female leads. There's a reason the Mass Effect series wasn't marketed with a female lead even though they easily done so. They're doing it now, but that's because BioWare is putting their ideology ahead of their bottom line, or perhaps its done to distinguish the series from the previous one. I wouldn't be surprised if this series' first entry sold less than Mass Effect 2 and 3, though that might be more due to how BioWare has repeatedly shit the bed since Mass Effect 3, particularly with the latter's ending.

It's the fifth highest selling FF game and, as a series, sold just behind FF7 with it's many spinoffs and FFX/X-2.

>FF13 is the 5th most selling,
This should be impressive, but it's not, considering how sales of AAA games have increased considerably in the last decade or so.

I don't think Final Fantasy, however, is a good example because it's quite unique among AAA games, so its sales might be more dependent on the quality and how popular JRPGs are.

>sold just behind FF7
None of which aside obviously from FF7 had the budget of XIII-2 and LR.

You're saying it sold less than the X and VII series? What other series would you compare it to? XII? IV?

I would allow that some series might actually benefit from having female leads, (certainly magical girl weebshit), but for mass appeal, it's generally better to have male and female ones. Again, going back to the example of Mass Effect, they could have easily chosen to market the game primarily with a female lead, but they didn't, correctly thinking that a male lead would sell more.
