Default Another franchise ruined by Ubisoft

What a disaster for the BIA series, why not give this new title a new identity/branding all together, see what I'm blabbing about here

It looks like fun, but I do agree, should've been a new title instead of a BiA game.

You're kidding me right?

No really where is the punchline?...

How can you go from this:

To that?

What the hell is wrong with Ubisoft and fudging up classic titles....

I do believe that's the point of it.

This is a surprise?

Seriously, name 1 Ubi franchise that actually got better over time.

And don't say Assassin's Creed. The combat in 2 is a joke, way too easy. Not too mention they are milking what was supposed to be a trilogy by stuffing in spin-offs.

That game seems to create a significant vacuum.

Everything Ubisoft touches goes to die in the most horrible way possible. A slow milked to death existence. Though we're yet to see Beyond Good & Evil 2 which was probably the last decent Ubi game I played.

Anno.

Do I win ?

Oh wait. They've only published the last game(and the DS spin-off) and are publishing the next game. I guess I don't win.

That looks so....crappy.

And what was up with the "Texas" guy wearing the Calvary stetson?That was in style in the 19th centenary and got revived by US Air Calvary chopper pilots back in the 1960's and stuck.

I love the stereotypes you have a Texas guy that brands people and an Indian guy that uses Tomahawks and a some guy that zapps dudes in the balls.

Crap,crap,crap.
