cossacks 2 makes me think of the game alexander, ive played it loads.. works a lot like cossacks 1 and has the same vibe as cossacks 2, i contacted gsc on fb some time ago if they had released an online copy of the game.. as i lost the disc of alexander, but sadly they didnt.

Ubisoft Toronto were hiring for an untitled Splinter Cell game last month, only time will tell how it turns out but the fact they're bringing in new people gives some hope that the those with the recent paradigm within the company may have been purged due to the failure of their projects. 🤷♂

The real life "Rose Revolution" took place in Georgia in late 2003 to 2004 and was a major event that impacted the country's trajectory. The Georgian flag was even changed to signal the event. The first Splinter Cell was made in the early 2000s and came out in late 2002, yet it coincidentally depicted major events occurring in Georgia in the year 2004. I like to imagine Kombayn Nikoladze and the Georgian Information Crisis as this timeline's equivalent of the Rose Revolution. Georgia goes through a process of national rebirth in the aftermath of Nikoladze, they become more pro-western and change their flag. But there's still that segment of Georgian society that idolize Nikoladze and his vision.

Cossacks 2 is a banger game. I completely disagree with your assessment of cavalry in Battle for Europe. While flanking isn't a thing like in Total War with shocks to morale. Cavalry is invaluable for catching units that fired and are vulnerable to melee. I would argue that there is still flanking in the game too. Cavalry are wack fast moving around the map, and just one unit of cavalry moving onto the flank of an enemy unit can change a stalemate into an untenable situation. Even the AI reacts to the balance of power shifting in this way. You didn't mention the "dug in" mechanic which I think cavalry are again super useful in baiting out formation changes that can drastically change the way a battle progresses. Cossacks 2 is awesome, like an arcade version of Total War Empire or Napoleon. Not as deep mechanically but truly almost better because of that.

The intro is right on. I used to really like Ubisoft’s games, especially the Clancy stuff, until about GRAW and Assassin’s Creed 2. The wheels really fell off later during the 360 era and I haven’t been excited for Ubisoft games since. I’m not sure I’ve played a Ubisoft game since the early/mid XB1/PS4 gen, and I’ve missed nothing. None of the games even look good, let alone exciting to me.

High Point for me was probably FC3 and AC: Black Flag. Last game i really enyoed was Ann 1800, but i barley play it because of the shitty launcher that anoys me sooooo hard. Wildlands i played a lot with my Soon-to-be wife but it felt always like there was so much wasted potential...

@@Nagrachlp It's not that I didn't enjoy Farcry 3, but the formula changed a lot from 1, 2, instincts etc. You could kinda see that that the 'peak Farcry' existed in either 2 or 3, and it'd just be down hill. I did play some Ubi games at the very beginning of the XB1 gen, and I didn't hate them, but if I compare that to something like Chaos Theory, Rainbow Six 3, the Ezio games(or even AC1 for being kinda unique), something like Farcry 4 doesn't look favorable. Ubisoft kinda fell to shit, suffering from their own success after AC2, the Splinter Cell games, and GRAW. It wasn't the names that were selling those games, the games were amazing, that's what gave Ubisoft the reputation for being a good publisher. Ubisoft didn't make the games good, they just made good decisions on what to publish, and as their eye for talent/management wore off, the Ubisoft name has meant less and less, to the point that today, I legitimately see it as a reason to *not* buy anything with their stamp on it.

Woke has nothing to do with it. It's Ubisoft not innovativing and making interesting games. Sam Fisher was always critical of the U.S. military and AC usually discussed the issues of the time period it was in. Being woke isn't bad.

@@redhood7778 thanks for acknowledging this. being woke is about being critical of inequalities and discrimination; for us who face those things for the rest of our lives, it is our right to express our frustrations with the system and find ways to make things better for everyone It is only when things go from one extreme to the other (going from being oppressed to becoming the oppresor) that it leads to the same problem. But finding common ground is what the term originally was used for

The biggest problem in the game industry now is that a game has gone from an artistic expression to a business venture. This means games are highly averse to risk and try to create something "safe" that everyone will like. That means sequels of already-popular properties, and "grafficks good"
