Ubisoft could've literally just used the bones of Black Flag for Skull and Bones, not even added any features, just cleaned it up a bit, with an original story and characters and it would've done numbers. I was so stoked when it was announced.

[@Unknown_Genius]

or sell it for like 20€ without it being an online game for that matter, im pretty sure plenty of people would've had loads of fun with it for that price - you know, just to fool around a bit in ship to ship combat without too much depth, something to turn your brain off while playing. worst part about it is that skull and bones was supposed to be a dlc for black flag, they just "wanted to make it bigger so it has to be its own game", and then it got stuck in a "recycle everything a few times and make nothing out of even the small potential the final product would've had" position. I also don't exactly know how many live service games Ubisoft is planing to have - they already got The Division as probably their most (and solely) anticipated proper live service based title - but I suppose they'll just give the next entry there 1 or 2 DLC again and move on to the next game - because why would you make a game with the perfect basis for it live service and earn money? That's pretty much like Nintendo not giving people a remake of the old consoles with the games that released on them like people have been asking for for years and earn money with it, they'd rather spend money trying to stop people from accessing those. Companies somehow lost their brains collectively at some point if it comes to business decisions.

[@williamedwards4151]

That's seriously my problem with it too. Like, it was already a home-run. They just had to swing the bat. But they chose to lean their cheek into it, and take the foul instead. And they knew. They had to know what the audience wanted. They chose to ignore all the red flags (or black flags lol) and pushed it into a direction no one wanted.

[@theriffwriter2194]

Definitely. Someone could easily make video about sequels that got great features gutted for the sole reason that the devs didn't want to "repeat themselves" with at least a hundred separate entries.

[@holden4620]

All of those resources should of just been poured into the black flag remake/remaster. Ubisoft has not been able to put out a decent game in years (decade?) so maybe they can just touch up the games that are obvious cash cows and that the fan base wants. Just remake the first 3 far crys, splinter cell, and black flag. Its the best we can ever hope for.

Even Odyssey has decent pirate battles on offer, and you can board enemy ships and fight and loot on them. When I get tired of the grind in Odyssey, I just hop on the Adrestria and sail around. Love it.

As someone who played the original Endless Ocean... Luminous hurt me in a way I don't like. The originals had a captivating story. It was subnautica without the survival elements or the horror... but the story was amazing. And I can't stand the AI voice that they use in luminous. It makes the game feel so cheap.

[@charles82605]

How was the original like Subnautica? They have almost nothing in common except exploration and diving. They are about as similar as Dave the Diver and Subnautica. I think the main reason luminous got so much hate is because it was compared to Subnautica so much.

[@Bluetrekkie]

The story, the soundtrack, the visuals. The first game was amazing. The timing of the songs as well… “amazing grace” when the dolphin leads you to the shipwreck, “the water is wide” playing when you finally find the white mother. It really made me feel something. I was 12 when it came out, and already wanted to be a scuba diver or marine biologist, but that really cemented it for me. I’m glad I haven’t had chance to play luminous!

[@Ketaros]

Gameranx, or "Falcon," you need to shift your focus from company names to the individuals driving the creativity behind the games. When Rocksteady Games created the Batman Arkham series, it was under the direction of the talented Sefton Hill. After completing the series, Hill left Rocksteady to start his own studio, Hundred Star Games. Expecting the same quality from a company that has lost its key creative force is unrealistic. It would be more insightful if your comments discussed the professionals behind the games rather than fixating on the companies. Just my two cents. :)

[@civoreb]

100% accurate. Most people dont know that there are usually multiple companies for a game and blaming one without doing research if they are still working together, or if a new company is on board, is a little unfair.

[@santacruzramble83]

I disagree, game design is collaborative, it’s like saying apple computers is not what it was when Steve Jobs passed. However there would be no Steve Jobs without Steve Wazniak. Game directors often shoot off on their own projects yet often end up resting on their laurels. Idk if anyone remembers in 2018 Hill and Walker and other members of Rocksteady failed to respond to sexual harassment claims and use of negative slurs aimed at the trans community. An employee wrote a letter validating those claims and Shefton Hill still did nothing about it. (My point with that statement is that if I ended with rocksteady did nothing about it, would you still be as concerned about not using Hill’s name instead of the company’s?

But, apple would not be what it is without him, and his departure from this corporial realm saw a marked decrease in innovation, what were experiencing now is the residual effect of his genius handled by competant people, but no, apple would not be anything that it is today without jobs, so i agree the team behind the project not the company should be mentioned.​@si7dsc

[@jaybee4288]

I see what you are saying and kinda agree but Rocksteady doesn’t stop being an AAA studio just because someone left. Likewise their new studio doesn’t become AAA just because he joined them. So I think it’s fair to still judge these companies in comparison to their previous work.

And then Ubisoft took a huge dump on their work with all that ridiculous censorship, which has never been undone to this day, over a decade later.

[@extragoogleaccount6061]

It’s amazing how often “new game is supposed to be new take on old game, but the gameplay mechanics from 20 years ago are broken and don’t work” happens. Could even add onto it with “new story is mediocre and the writing isn’t as good but we could look past these flaws if the core gameplay actually worked like it used to or was at least functional.” I guess this is what happens when the sequels aren’t worked on by the same people. But I would think that the companies that own the IP would at least work to understand the core gameplay people enjoyed and make nailing the core mechanics the central focus of any sequel. And yet, that almost never happens.

If they weren't, standard criminals would defeat them all the time.

[@FastForwardPlans]

The whole thing was written like a poorly thought out fan fic. With micro transactions in the margins. The idea of the suicide squad taking on the justice league is the sort of story you tell after telling the story of all the justice league. Give people time to get attached to them and see the heros faults, see what might cause their downfall. Then you bring in the villians of those games. Who now have to deal with their rivals, her heros, going in a rampage, to team up and use the weaknesses they had built up awareness of over the years to take them. Give weight to the heros fall and end.

[@prestonowens4594]

I think there is a lot of potential in a Silent Hill game that focuses on bullying and the angst and pain of growing up that High School teens experience; especially in the social media age. You could explore ideas of identity and belonging mixed with the horror of the mob and warped social expectations as well as themes of loneliness and depression. How could this all be done while making a good horror experience mechanically? I don’t know in practical terms; but I do know it is possible. Here’s a story idea: you play as a parent of a broken family. Your child ends up harming themselves and end ups hospitalized. One day the kids cellphone goes off, but they seem to be texts from your kid even though they are currently comatose. Somehow you find yourself in Silent Hill that is transformed by the above themes. I imagine it less like Hell and more like purgatory, in that the end goal of the story is one of redemption despite the horrors being confronted. You confront your own demons, traumas and shortcoming in silent hill.

Suicide Squad very clearly has some talent behind it. I found myself thinking some things about were cool and I think small pieces of it are done well but as a complete product it's very lacking. Whoever was in charge of the big picture of this game failed their job completely. I wonder how many devs and middle managers were pissed off on a daily basis while making this game. I can already imagine how a typical day would play out with the manager's being told to implement some dumb feature, the manager trying to say no but losing the argument, and then the devs have to program this stuff.

I'm one of Phantom Fury's very few fans. I really liked that game. It could have been way better in a lot of departments, but the weapon and level variety made it really fun for me. That super shotgun was really cool.

[@MedalWelder]

Sorry guys, but Skull and Bones doesn’t belong on this list at all. Everyone knew it was going to be garbage so they were no expectations in the first place. Therefore, there is no disappointment to be had with Skull and Bones.

[@Elmer_RedEagle]

Supernormal had some crazy controversies as well. Like supposedly using a real 911 audio recording, and the dev being absolutely crazy.

[@nerob2]

you talked a lot about P.T at the end of this video and i would just like to say that i did do a deep dive into that game and it turns out from a website i managed to find that Silent Hills could well still be coming out at some point in the near future so with any luck us people myself including could still get to play it fingers crossed

[@Ezmeranth]

It would make sense. They were pretty close to the release date when they cancelled Silent Hills. There must have been a substantial amount of the game done.

I'm a chronically online Silent Hill superfan and I had no idea that a new Silent Hill game dropped. Now that I know, I'm less interested than before. After disbanding Team Silent, canning Silent Hills, and firing Kojima, Konami is dead to me.

Do people see a game where each shot puts damage numbers all over a screen and think 'whoaaa. This looks great' ?

I don't think anyone was disappointed by Phantom Fury. We all knew it was being developed by Slipgate.

[@leonardoochoa3922]

Starting from the 7th (8th?) game, the timers and splits are all wrong :P. As for the video itself, it's good. When I read [First Half], I first thought it meant you were doing two videos and this was the first one, instead of first half of the year which was more logical...that just tells how F many flops there have been this year. Picking only a top 10 must have been hard, my god...

[@zulubunsen9067]

What I don't understand about the woes around Skull & Bones is that why did people expect it to be a story-based adventure and why didn't anyone get concerned when they tried to turn it into one? The very first reveals showed it being a ship-based (essentially arena shooter) multiplayer game, nothing more. People wanted it to be Black Flag, the devs tried to cram something like that into it and it crumbled below the weight.
