10 Things Ubisoft Wants You To Forget

2. When All Of Their 2014 Games Were Buggy As Hell

The beginning of the generation was undoubtedly one of the darkest times for Ubisoft as a company. Not only did Watch Dogs bring a huge amount of controversy their way for its visual downgrade, but all of its biggest releases, especially in 2014, were buggy as hell out the gate.

Most notably was Assassin's Creed: Unity, the entry in the franchise that more or less single-handedly doomed the series to irrelevancy for a few years. The glitches ranged from being hilarious to frustrating, but they all made one thing clear: Ubisoft were putting release dates first, and quality second.

Even worse, the patches the company released for the game somehow only made things worse. A near-7GB update was implemented to fix the frame rate and some visual bugs, but this actually resulted in players having to re-download all 40GB of the full game.

It wasn't just Assassin's Creed either, but Watch Dogs and The Crew also suffered the same fate, exacerbated by Uplay messing up at every possible turn. The games themselves were fine; the problem was that they just didn't work.
