On Ubisoft's recent update on AC:U
and some small updates

It has been quite a busy week at school, so sorry for the lack of articles. I'm still waiting for the Assassin's Creed patches to roll out before resuming my game so, don't hold out for it. Anyway, if you liked AssCreed, you've probably bought it. If not, then you might want to look at AC4:Black Flag first, or AC2. Both of those games are not much worse, if not better, than Assassin's Creed: Unity.

As for reviews, I'm trying to play Far Cry 4 as fast as possible. I've liberated about half the Radio Towers, so I think I'll soon make a review of it. So far, the gameplay is solid. It was solid in Far Cry 3, and it's just as solid in Far Cry 4. However, my problem is with the story. I'll go in detail later in the full article, so look forward to it.

Today, I just want to talk a little bit about Ubisoft, especially the letter from their CEO that was released this week, link below. Paraphrasing, the CEO basically apologized for the blunder that they made in AC:Unity and is giving it their all to fix the game. They are offering the DLC Dead Kings for free to everyone who owns AC:Unity and a free Ubisoft game for Season Pass holders. 

Some people said that this is merely a move made as damage control and are pretty dismissive about it. The comments section on that letter is evident enough in my opinion. However, I am willing to give them a second chance given how much value the choice of games hold. Far Cry 4, Rayman Legends, and AC:Black Flag are solid titles, not to mention that The Crew is also there (although the lack of review copies for The Crew is not a very good sign) and they are basically giving them away for free to people who bought the Season Pass.

So, I think we should give them another shot next year. I don't have high hopes for The Crew due to recent circumstances surrounding the game, but knowing that they cannot possibly make drastic changes in two weeks following the outcry caused by the AC:Unity, I cannot really blame them either. It should all come down to their next big title releases and really hope, for Ubisoft's sake, that they are well designed and polished to a mirror-shine.

Just my two cents~
