Re: Ubisoft Staff Push Back Against Company Restructure With Three-Day Strike

Rhaoulos

That's a French company alright (I can say it, it's my country). A strike won't do anything except put a target on their back, so they'll be the first to go.

Sadly, Ubisoft will trim the fat if they want to start anew. They have become way to big, slow and sloppy. They need an actual restructure and put people who decide much much closer to those who actually make the games.

I won't believe Ubisoft improves until I actually see it. But it will start with massive layoffs like we've never seen.

I only hope those who get fired, and want to remain in the game industry, will manage to land in a good studio. I really believe Ubisoft if full of extremely competent people who just gave up because of the monetisation slop and the awful management. They need to get rid of the Guillemot family and relatives entirely.

Whatever happens, I just want those who still love making games at Ubisoft to make games as good as their golden age, so they can be proud of it, whether it's withing Ubisoft, or with another studio (like Clair obscur!).

This comment is way to long.

Re: Borderlands 4 Switch 2 Development Paused, According To Take-Two

First, they need to figure out how to optimise their game. I guess they ran into a brick wall when they tried to port it.

That's the problem with most AAA games. They are made so even high end PCs can't run them on max settings at release. But devs are so focused on ultra powerful devices, they have no idea how to run them on weaker ones.

@RoboCube I'm glad someone can enjoy it as much as I did.

I replay it every other year since the switch release date and get sucked into it every single time. It will be my GOTY every year it gets re-released until they make a better Zelda (TOTK is great, but I prefer BOTW).

Re: Nintendo, Sony And Xbox Update "Safer Gaming" Principles

Safety should start with banning micro transactions all together. At least the predatory ones.

For the rest, they can commit to anything they want, parents will never respect the age restriction. That's why so many 12yo are playing COD. This is probably why they censor PEGI18 games. To protect kids who shouldn't be playing them in the first place.
