Thread and user ignored, I've never seen a so (badly) coordinated campaign to save a game before, it's ridiculous (just like AC itself)
Imagine caring who wins this stupid battleLMAO imagine thinking the wokies won
Of course it's not doing as well as Valhalla. That game was on PS4-PS5-XBO-XSS-X and PC (and it was released before Christmas while also in a pandemic with most people staying at home.)The denial was fun, but now we're deep in the cope phase. Keep the threads coming

Yes it will lol see you next month in the sales thread lolThis thread won't age well.
I do not agree about this being "freaking out".Nah it's done.
We have now officially moved past people freaking out whenever the protagonist is a woman, not white, not straight or not hot.
Glad we all got it out of our system.
I'll admit there were a funny moments along the way
Bro, it's getting smoked by Split Fiction, an AA game made with lunch money compared to Shadows' budget. That's rough.Of course it's not doing as well as Valhalla.
Grummz (Mark Kern) is at a point where no one will invest in any more of his schemes. So he has resorted to making money on twitter by generating outrage, baiting people into engaging with his content there so he can money off them.That's what opened my eyes to the amount of manufactured outrage spouted by the likes of Grummz.
Split Fiction is the follow-up to a game that sold over 20 million copies and it was made with a lot of money (Not Ubisoft money, but not exactly lunch money either).Bro, it's getting smoked by Split Fiction, an AA game made with lunch money compared to Shadows' budget. That's rough.
Are video games creative works or not? If a creator wants to incorporate a particular element in a work of art, its not forced. Its a creative choice that all creators are free to make.Even if it was successful iam hopeful that we get to a point where the DEI stuff stops. Forced inclusion isn't helpful on any level.
You damn right:It's insanity crying about what video game characters look like.
Yup, these people are the worst.It's insanity crying about what video game characters look like.
What I find interesting is how almost none of the journos are working overtime to champion Split Fiction despite the fact that it is both "on message" and clearly successful. Dual female leads, no content that upsets the leftist apple cart, good sales and CCU, a total victory. But no one is wasting any ink attacking or defending Split Fiction because there's no engagement to be had there. It's fascinating.Bro, it's getting smoked by Split Fiction, an AA game made with lunch money compared to Shadows' budget. That's rough.
At this point most video games are the output of giant corporate machinations that respond to what their audience will cough up money for.Are video games creative works or not? If a creator wants to incorporate a particular element in a work of art, its not forced. Its a creative choice that all creators are free to make.
By next week, people will completely forget about Shadows
Wild that they would reply to him. Either an indication that he's really under their skin, or a dumbass social media manager making $30k a year who doesn't know any better. Probably the latter.![]()
Dude, the official AssCreed Twitter account is replying to Grummz. This is far from over.

fascianting and positive. The game was left alone and succeeded by its own merits.What I find interesting is how almost none of the journos are working overtime to champion Split Fiction despite the fact that it is both "on message" and clearly successful.

But it shall still remain in your dreams rent free![]()
Probably a bit of both. Grummz, Critical Drinker, Asmon, etc have these companies shook. They're still trying to figure out how to navigate the meta because counterculture influencers are having a real impact.Wild that they would reply to him.

Ubisoft would be an amazing acquisition to Elon new game company... the meltdowns would be even more amazing than Twitter meltdowns.
I mean people like anita sarkesian basically started it when gamers just want to be left alone, she even speaks in the UN about this crap.I mean both things can be true. Assassin's Creed Shadows could be selling really well, but not well enough to help Ubisoft get out of the hole they're in. Who the fuck knows.
I do know this culture war shit isn't going away for a long time.
Maybe Assassin's Creed isn't that bad after all LOOOL
I do not agree about this being "freaking out".
That being said what i don't like is the brigade mentality, from both sides, like there is something that need to be permanently resolved. And thinking it's over for the "anti-woke" is as much of a mistake as saying "go woke go broke".
To each their own. Personnally i think it looks like the typical woke trash but i don't need validation.
You see a lot of DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim order) from the leftists in this sphere. This was the primary strategy for anti-gamergate back in 2014. They attacked games and people, met fierce oopposition, and then cried victim.I mean people like anita sarkesian basically started it when gamers just want to be left alone, she even speaks in the UN about this crap.
Don't complain when there's finally a pushback from gamers
Let's not forget one of his first actions after he bought Twitter was fire 90% of the employeesUbisoft would be an amazing acquisition to Elon new game company... the meltdowns would be even more amazing than Twitter meltdowns.

People like and dislike things for different reasons. Gameplay isn't the one thing that people care about. Hell people traditionally care more about politics than video games so yea gameplay isn't exactly at the top of the totem pole.Or will we still have to deal with all the non gameplay related drama for years to come whenever new games are released?
