I dunno. You can rightfully throw a lot of accusations at Ubisoft, but the one thing they've always done is listen and change systems based off player feedback. When everyone said the best thing they could do after Far Cry 3 was make more Far Cry 3, they did just that. When people said Conner was trash/AC3 was bad, they completely changed the formula, and got rid of the things people didn't like the most. When people said they didn't like how Conviction played, they went back to the drawing board and went out of their way to make stealth/"old" Splinter Cell gameplay modern and fun again for Blacklist.

They had a brief moment of clarity around 2012 but then Far Cry 4 was lame, Blacklist got buried under GTA5, and they immediately re-reinvented AC to be worse than before.

If no one has already started work on a new thread for Syndicate, can I volunteer to make one?

I was thinking of making one but kept getting stuck on a mildly amusing title and didn't actually do any work. Go for it.

Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


That gameplay video is actually surprisingly cool, the game looks like it has a more realistic physical feeling to it but I'm still horrified by the enemy health bars. Unity hosed up the franchise with its changes in that regard where now they think they're developing a brawler but forgot to create actual brawler combos and interesting combat mechanics.

Please do! I'm not really keen on doing it again this year.

OK, this dragged on a bit, so it may well have a feeling of "will this do?" and I borrowed the structure from this thread's OP, but here it is:

Edit.

I'm dumb as gently caress and didn't even notice the Syndicate thread. God drat forget I said anything.
