Get Woke, Go Broke Thread

Don't games that go f2p usually just update the game and give veterans some extras? I don't think they first shut down the servers and refund everyone.
This shit is dead. Wouldn't be surprised if they purge all assets and source codes by the end of the month, just to make sure.

It had memory leak issues and would crash every 20-40 minutes, depending on how far you travelled.

Plus innumerable glitches, as well as exploits, some of which have never been fixed.
Then there are the typical Bethesdaisms, like vendors whose inventory is stored in literal chests hidden just outside the game world (at least one of which can be looted without clipping), or a crafting system that can be broken harder than Linkara's ass after a long session with Harambe.

And people are coping that Concord is going to come back as Free to Play. Nah. This game had only 2000 people playing in the beta. That should have been the warning that it was going to fail

Yeah, not going to happen. The demand clearly isn't there and I bet the bookkeeper at Soyny would shoot up the office building at the mere suggestion of putting even more money into this historic failure of a game.

As well as some problems related to how gameplay was designed. The most obvious one being the high respawn rate of dragons and their long aggro range allows them to very quickly depopulate towns and villages before the player character can reach the dragon to kill it.

Followers get regularly stuck to terrain. Once stuck, they don't get unstuck and now your save file is fucked.

I remember reading a thread for one of the newer re-releases of Skyrim, asking if any of these problems were fixed and the responses were largely "lol nope."

Concord has been successfully purged from Sony consoles and accounts. No selling consoles with this rare game on it this time

[Kugelfisch]

I bet they even nuked the source code. Man, has a released game ever died this quick and gotten shitcanned so thoroughly before?

B-but Soyny told us they were exploring other options!
It was going to come back ftp and be a huge hit!
We were going to trigger the chuds and own the chuds!
Reee!

Soy Wars Luther flopped, Ubishite's stonks are collapsing, and, if there is a God, Nobunaga's slave will be the final nail in the coffin.

For AssCreed Wakanda it really depends on whether or not their new target audience of nig-on-nip violence simulator enthusiasts will make up for what are bound to be cratering sales in Asia.

I bet they even nuked the source code.

I really, really hope they go "Delete Fucking Everything!" on this one, just to make sure this abomination stays buried for good.

The Culling 2 was so shit a sequel that it only lasted 8 days. Though there's a bit of a happy end in this case because the developer just went back to supporting the first game.

Asscreed Shadows looks fucking awful, so it's quite possible they could sell fewer copies than they need/expect.

I've seen the gameplay. The ninja bitch is like Great Value Tenchu with none of the depth. We Wuz Samurais N Sheeit Nigga gameplay is just Odyssey/RPGCreed gameplay. So, complete garbage. You'd think after the lukewarm reception of Valhalla, Ubi would get the idea that people don't fucking want this shitty rpg gameplay. I don't want to play a historical fiction game and see flashing damage numbers flying off of the enemies. Nor do I want to fight fucking Odin and Thor, or swing weapons that are perpetually on fire like I'm playing a looterscooter game.

You know what I would have liked to see in RPGCreeds? Historical accuracy. There are very few weapons or armor sets in Valhalla that actually look period appropriate.

That low-test Vikings tv show is probably most historically accurate than AssCreed Valhalla. Don't expect any better from Shadows, despite the fact that realistic samurai simulation games have already been created.

SpoilerShow

Edit: The reason why the lack of historicity matters in AssCreed is because every old AssCreed game is only very selectively unrealistic. That is to say, they try to be as authentic as possible to the time and place, but then they are unrealistic on the whole Templar/Assassin war side of things. So they might have Leonardo Da Vinci making weapons for Assassins. Or let Edward Kenway escape on the only ship of the Spanish Treasure Fleet to survive its fateful storm. That's unrealistic, but it's in service to the story of Templars and Assassins. The Founding Fathers in AssCreed III are helping the Assassins, while the Templars support the British. That's all fake, but it's fake around the game's plot. It's not just fake for the sake of being fake.

All things being equal, AssCreed games should be about 90% historically accurate or plausible, and then 10% that's unrealistic is the Templar/Assassin war.

Valhalla has so much random shit in it that makes no fucking sense and portrayals of "vikings" that are all wrong and taken straight from popular culture/that tv show.

The sad thing is that there was an early draft of Shadows that actually sounded promising. You just played a proper OC assassin who got trained under Hattori Hanzo.
Then it got turned into Yakube: The Game.

You ain't seen nothing yet with AssCreed Shadows. The research in this one is so piss poor it's bound to entertain nip streamers for months to come.

But alas, Leftist gamers don't want historical accuracy. The last time it happened they whined about Kingdom Come: Deliverance being full of white people
