"But muh Ubisoft+"

[The Former]

Key note: Ubisoft+ Premium (not be confused with Ubisoft+ Classic) is NOT AVAILABLE for Playstation users, nor is Shadows available with a PS Plus subscription. This means that 100% of Playstation users actually purchased the game.

As it happens, Shadows had better day one Playstation Store numbers than any other AC title[www.videogameschronicle.com] to date.

Conferring sources here[comicbook.com], here[www.psu.com], here[www.tweaktown.com], and here[tech4gamers.com] for how well it's doing on the Playstation Store.

Several sources also report that it's the company's second-best selling title ever, at launch. Sources here[thekerplunk.com] and here[thegeek.games], among others.

Game's doing fine.

I'm sure Ubisoft will thank you personally for your valiant defense of their work, forum dweller.

Holy cheese! We're winning folks! Why don't we celebrate and have a KA drink? This will show the haters that this game is doing fine and show everyone why its 10/10

[The Former]

Naoe shows everyone why it's 10/10. But only with Japanese audio. All this will show is that Ubisoft+ isn't accounting for as many players as people assume.

[Fighting-Priest]

Every one of those articles is saying basically the same thing without saying anything major.

Is the game fun? Hell yea it is.

Does it have a lot of players? 2 million known so far is kinda middle of the pack.

Do we know how many copies have actually been sold? No, total copies is the make or break for this game.

Until we know how many copies they were able to sell we won't know if this game will save ubisoft or not.

i agree with the top part but not the bottom activations again are not sales i can activate my key right now and play zero minutes but i will get included in activations ?? the problem with all these sources is they all duck around the dreaded sales word and use players or activations to try to make people believe

The bottom part speaks of preorders and sales. Preorders in the latter case, and in the former... Well actually I could be wrong about this one. But I take...

“Assassin’s Creed Shadows” has become the the Ubisoft-developed franchise’s second-highest selling title ever at launch. On Saturday, Ubisoft announced that the Feudal Japan-set game had crossed 2 million activations.

... to be speaking of "second-highest selling" and "activations" in separate breaths.

I like the voice actress, her attitude towards the role was great. I suspect the fault lies with the voice direction team on the English VA side of things.

see to me this scream business tactics using every word they can but the one most important one to try and keep the game popular .. to me that is desperation to stay popular ive already seen review sites change sales numbers to players just to make shadows look good ... cause it went from players to activations so what is next they will say they got the most subs to ubi plus on release of this even though those subs could be to play other games ,,, yea no everything ubisoft is saying is screaming dirty tactics to stay afloat and i wont support that

This is an old formula that used to work back in the days before internet exist. People had no way of getting information fast enough. You'd have to come in the store and see it for yourself or get information from any type of Game Information magazines or words of mouths. But now that old formula is no longer working anymore, especially during Pandmeic when we're on internet 24/7.

What a wild time we live in.

Rejoice brothers for Ubislop is saved!

Can't wait to spend another 100+ dollars on another masterpiece that thankfully I can purchase MTX so I can complete in 100 hours instead of 200... can't get enough of these awesome open world experiences...

You think they got a patent on this golden formula or something!

yes and unfortunately anyone can say anything on the internet lies truth and the only true proof we would have is from the original company or source which in this case is ubisoft but all we have seen is stretched truth use of words to divert and reviewers changing numbers

That precisely the point. What really is the truth and what is the deception? This is why we need to actually use our brain and distinguish from what's truth and what isn't. A pity that there are only few critical thinkers, since majority of people already chose their sides.

my side is i dont support ubisoft in anyway anymore i dont care if the game is good or bad all i care about is the leadership of ubisoft is bad and needs to go

IN my case? I'm a gamer down in the core and I know what's good and what's bad. Unfortunately, people want to turn every single game into a cultural war, led to so many misinformation, which is actually very dangerous because we will not be able to distinguish from what's right and what isn't. FORTUNATELY, there are those with brains that do know what up and know how to avoid a very obvious pitfalls, especially a massive one.

Oh and you don't need to drink Kool-aid cuz you're too cool to drink that KA. It's for the 'winners.' ;)

cultural political and religious ideals etc. shouldnt be in games or anywhere near games in my opinion they are the true killer of games today

That the key word: Cultural in ANY form. In all honesty? So many of the best entertainment, whether its tv, movies or games. It boil down to one simple formula: Create your own culture. That why we have so many entertainment cultures.

Sadly, we both know the results when people attempt to bring real cultures into entertainment. They never really mix well.

Defenders are tryin more than Ubisoft did while making this.
