Although that same tired Electric Boogaloo joke has been made multiple times, I don't care. In this case, it makes (absolutely the opposite of) perfect sense.
UbiSoft, we've had our differences. Our on again, off again relationship started with Rayman on the Playstation, and is soon ending with Assassins Creed on the Redringo X and the DustBehemoth: 07 Edition. (and unfortunately not on the Super Wagglebox) We had some good times (Rayman Raving Rabbids, Prince of Persia) and some bad times , (GRAW/GRAW2, Rainbow Six: Vegas and Red motherfucking Steel) but overall, I've loved you guys, in the sense that Richie Sambora loves Cher (and in that sense, I mean no longer, as you grew older, stupider, and more attracted to gay men and housewives.)
The last straw is coming from a note I just read on
Surfer Girl's blog, stating that Ubisoft got pissed when they recieved a less than perfect review from one of their sponsors. As Jim Sterling the III, Esquire would say, "Fucking bloody wankers."
Here's how Ubisoft deals with criticism:
A certain British gaming website had praised Assassin's Creed since it was announced. They'd run previews, interviews, did a lot to hype the game. When they played the final built, they finally realized it wasn't that great, so it got a 7/10. But instead of acknowledging AC's mistakes, Ubisoft got furious, pulled all ads from the site and cancelled all placed orders (mid five figures) indefinitely. A planned live interview with Jade Raymond isn't going to happen either. According to Ubisoft everything would have been fine though, if the site had just put an 8 instead of a 7 under the same text.
I wonder how they'll score Ubisoft's next game...
I agree, Jim. Top spot.
But yes, I would agree with the GameGoblin and hypothetical Jim Sterling's answers.
sorry about the 2xpost
Midway and Cruis'n Wii, though? Oh, that's a different story entirely...
BRWm, the Cher, Sterling, and Breakin' 2 references made my lul.
