I knew it was bad but this is hilariously bad.

My favorite thing about this is that Ubisoft has single handedly made AAAA synonymous with awful.

My first thought with this video was “this looks like some trash Ubisoft would put out.”

I guess I was right.

“AAAA” is the sound you make after realizing what you did with your money.

In a couple of years we will have “AAAAAAHHHHH WHY WHY OH MY GOD WHY AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF”-games.

That or the realization “Ah”, as in: “AAAAh, so that’s what <sequence of bad adjectives> looks like”

With any luck they’ll single handedly keep “AAAA” from catching on, because nobody with a shred of pride would want their multi-million dollar project connected to anything that was said to be AAAA.

Over the years I have learned to pay attention to certain keywords that made me be extra careful about games advertised. So when I heard of AAAA, I immediately knew that CEO was on ketamine and the game will start as a dumpster fire.

See you again in six months. Maybe it will be in an acceptable state by then.

Sir, this is Ubisoft.

In 6 months everyone will have forgotten all about this and be playing the next shitty Far Cry game and complaining how it’s an $80 unfinished mess.

At this point what is “a” game means. Aaaa means this than why not just grade it aa?

Its all about money and development team size. A is generally indie, AA is a small-medium teams, AAA is large teams. AAAA is marketing terminology because everyone thought that AAA just meant better.

You can see every moment a senior dev went to management and asked for time or money to develop a certain type of interaction and were told no every single time.

Most of these design decisions look like they were made to make the game incredibly bland and safe for a 5 year old to play.

Are you an outlaw or are you a big cuddly bear?

Who is this made for?

Star wars belongs to disney. Disney wants money from 0 to 99 year olds.

Wth is the point of stormtrooper armor. Has it ever done anything?

I read somewhere that the armor distributes blaster bolt shock through it so all the Stormtroopers get knocked unconscious. They don’t die, otherwise they may as well not wear it at all as they fall over after one blaster bolt.

But as with everything in Star Wars lore, that’s probably a desperate retcon.

It also removes any sense or individuality. Contrasted with clones who frequently customised their armour.

Look, everyone has their own style of wearfare. Some people show up in full battle rattle with mirror finished armor. Others show up to look good.
