Rumor: I Am Alive, but I may not look like these screens anymore

Aug 4th 2009 1:17PM (Joystiq)
i wasn´t really saying that they sold it on a specific way, what i was saying is that the game itself let´s you know that the whole idea is to beat a colossus, plain simple, the world is huge but it´s never a real part of the game, as a matter of fact the whole world is a pretty empty space, you don´t really need too much explanations to know that the whole point is not the world but the battles.
with assasins creed however the whole idea was that you were on a living world, and that was going to make the game interesting one way or another, and it ended being a very boring experience, sadly that has happened with all the games of ubi soft lately, they only care about looks but game play is not really present in any of their games, shadow of the colossus is a masterpiece.

that´s true, but maybe it has to do with the fact that shadow never tried to lie about what to expect from it. In the first 5 minutes you knew that the whole point of the game was to fight with the colossus, nothing more nothing less. They never tried to sell an amazing fully interactive world that it´s going to allow you to complete your missions in many different ways like assasins creed. To be honest shadow Does gets very boring when you have to travel from colossus to colossus, but for me it was acceptable as i knew that a huge epic battle was waiting.
but creed was very different, you waste too much time doing nothing, and the whole experience was not as nice as they said, and assasins creed 2 is looking like one of those games that depends more in their looks than in their fun factor.

if they ever release this game i just hope is not another "wandering around with not too much to do game" just like most of the games that ubi makes...

Bionic Commando, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite 'underperform' in the west

it´s a shame, but to be honest i don´t think bionic command was one of those really big titles that should be remade, it was an ok game back in the times, but im sure nobody was really dying for a remake.

Deering: Blockbuster games need to cost £70 to support industry

if that happens i wonder how many anti-pirate guys would start coping games from here to the moon.....

Tales of Monkey Island is Telltale's 'strongest performing' title

Jul 30th 2009 1:27PM (Joystiq)
i saw it on the wii and man all i can say is get the pc version, the wii one looks like crap, and to be fair all games look better on p.c.

now that ubi was complaining about piracy maybe they could learn something from this....A game that is another chapter of a 20 years old game doing well on the pirate infested p.c.....how is that possible? well, maybe the fact that telltale is worried about quality and ubi is more worried about copy protections has something to do with it....

Ubisoft devising new tools to combat piracy on PC

>The PC gaming community's response? Stealing 20 copies for every copy sold >according to torrent trackers. 20 fucking copies.



And once again those magic numbers....how do they know that 20 copies where actually pirated and played? i mean come on!!! look i just downloaded a pirate copy of prince right now, and i played it and finished it, so the real number is 21.....oh wait!!! i lied as a Mather of fact i bought my copy so it was 2 against 20??no wait!!! i lied again, i do downloaded the game but i didn´t played it , it´s there completly dormant in a dvd somewhere, so as i didn´t played the game then it means i didn´t do anything bad right? those numbers doesn´t mean a damn, if those numbers where right then why they don´t complain for their sales for the 360?? how many xboxes are out there right now?? 3 millions? then why they only sold 1 million copies of far cry 2 on all the platforms??i mean, only the xbox should have reached those numbers without a problem.

the only real numbers that can be counted are the units sold plain simple any magic maths of for each one 23 where pirated is nothing but crap, and in this times where buying games is starting to be a less of a priority for any person that has a p.c. or a xbox or a ps3, selling more than 1 million on three platforms should be considered a hit.

Exactly my point man, far cry 2 technically was very good, i really enjoyed the jungle and the whole idea of going anywhere was good, but the game missions where not really funny, i didn´t have a single problem in any of the missions not even the hard ones, at least the p.c. version had the advantage of saving anywhere anyplace, not like the console version where you have to survive the whole mission and the return to one if your houses if you want to save, and the voices!! jesus!! they should have invested in some actors to make the voices at least interesting. ubi´s games are not as good as they used to be, to be honest i wouldn´t really care if they stop making games for the p.c. or for any platform right now.

i didn´t read those, but even if that´s what happened that doesn´t change the fact that assasins creed was completly overrrated and prince of persia was an easy game.
ubi got very happy with the sales of farcry 2 on the three systems, they didn´t give numbers but they said it sold over a millon in three weeks on 3 major platforms: xbox, ps3 and p.c. i doubt the pc sold only 3 from that million, and that´s not a blip on p.c.

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/11/11/far-cry-2-sells-a-million-copies-worldwide/

and i don´t need to be only glad they're even still putting anything on PC man, sorry but that worked with the amiga when everybody was leaving it for the p.c. or as the companies called it "greener pastures" and any game was like a masterpiece for the amiga. That doesn´t work for a market that it´s there, and steam is the biggest example of making money with the p.c.

i never justified stealing from them, i spend a good amount on three games that were not good as they said. And they are not going anywhere because as ubi said, piracy is present on all platforms, i still doubt that ps3 part but only because blue rays are very expensive right now otherwise it would be the same.
