[2801.64 --> 2803.64] I would love that to be the topic. |
[2803.64 --> 2804.64] That is the conversation we'd love to have. |
[2804.64 --> 2808.64] Because Black Flag was amazing and Far Cry 3 was really, really good. |
[2808.64 --> 2809.64] And you know what's incredible? |
[2809.64 --> 2811.64] Okay, what news did they get over last week? |
[2811.64 --> 2814.64] What news did they somehow get through? |
[2814.64 --> 2815.64] I don't even remember. |
[2815.64 --> 2817.64] There was something really big last week that I don't remember. |
[2817.64 --> 2818.64] Oh yeah, yeah. |
[2818.64 --> 2820.64] They pulled everything from Steam. |
[2820.64 --> 2821.64] Yeah, but no. |
[2821.64 --> 2822.64] Yeah, but then it's back now. |
[2822.64 --> 2825.64] There was other news though that was really big. |
[2825.64 --> 2828.64] And we were like, I can't believe you were even noticed. |
[2828.64 --> 2829.64] Like you made yourself notice while this was going on. |
[2829.64 --> 2830.64] Yeah. |
[2830.64 --> 2831.64] Either way. |
[2831.64 --> 2832.64] Oh, Blizzcon. |
[2832.64 --> 2833.64] Blizzcon, right. |
[2833.64 --> 2836.64] Blizzcon was going on and people still heard about what the hell Ubisoft was doing because |
[2836.64 --> 2837.64] they were that really good. |
[2837.64 --> 2838.64] And Blizzcon was such a big deal this year. |
[2838.64 --> 2839.64] And Blizzcon was huge. |
[2839.64 --> 2844.64] And then now, there was just the Warlands of Draenor release and everyone's freaking out |
[2844.64 --> 2846.64] over Ubisoft. |
[2846.64 --> 2847.64] What? |
[2847.64 --> 2850.64] How are you that bad? |
[2850.64 --> 2853.64] I'm kind of tempted to pick up WoW again. |
[2853.64 --> 2854.64] How are you still noticed? |
[2854.64 --> 2855.64] Really? |
[2855.64 --> 2856.64] Should I just not? |
[2856.64 --> 2858.64] Last time you got pretty... |
[2858.64 --> 2859.64] I know. |
[2859.64 --> 2860.64] Last time was bad. |
[2860.64 --> 2861.64] Okay, forget it. |
[2861.64 --> 2862.64] I'm not going to. |
[2862.64 --> 2863.64] I'm just going to repair my joystick and play more X-Wing. |
[2863.64 --> 2864.64] Okay, so... |
[2864.64 --> 2867.64] Maybe wait until your kids are at like a minimum age. |
[2867.64 --> 2869.64] So, this was original articles here. |
[2869.64 --> 2873.64] This was posted by I'm the Walrus by the way, the Ubisoft stock falling thing. |
[2873.64 --> 2877.64] Original sources here were kitguru.net and finance.yahoo.com. |
[2877.64 --> 2881.64] But there were also some other things that were brought up by these other articles. |
[2881.64 --> 2882.64] We might not even need a charger. |
[2882.64 --> 2883.64] I think it's charged, right? |
[2883.64 --> 2884.64] Yeah. |
[2884.64 --> 2885.64] Yeah, just... |
[2885.64 --> 2886.64] Yay, Luke will have a laptop. |
[2886.64 --> 2887.64] Thank you. |
[2887.64 --> 2891.64] But one of the other things that was pointed out was that things are not looking that great |
[2891.64 --> 2895.64] for Far Cry 4 because some publications didn't get review copies. |
[2895.64 --> 2896.64] Yeah. |
[2896.64 --> 2900.64] So, yeah, not necessarily a great sign. |
[2900.64 --> 2901.64] And then... |
[2901.64 --> 2906.64] And like with stuff like that, that Polygon post, like people are going to read that. |
[2906.64 --> 2912.64] And that is going to be taken as a negative review if people are reading into it properly. |
[2912.64 --> 2913.64] Yeah, I would. |
[2913.64 --> 2914.64] Yeah. |
[2914.64 --> 2920.64] The fact that you, for whatever reason, are not enabling as many publications as possible |
[2920.64 --> 2926.64] to get their hands on this game so that they can rave about how great it is, is a really, really bad sign. |
[2926.64 --> 2933.64] And I mean, TotalBiscuit's comment, I think, is awesome about the way that the Assassin's Creed Unity embargo was handled. |
[2933.64 --> 2941.64] Where the review embargo was not lifted until 12 hours after the game's retail availability. |
[2941.64 --> 2948.64] Which is, given the way that games cannot be refunded anymore if you buy a physical copy, or really any copy, |
[2948.64 --> 2951.64] is really telling. |
[2951.64 --> 2957.64] I mean, that really says something about how they might have felt about how quickly they needed to cash in |
[2957.64 --> 2965.64] on the immediate launch sales before the reviews go up and people start maybe considering whether to wait for even Far Cry 4 |
[2965.64 --> 2967.64] or some other game to spend their money on. |
[2971.64 --> 2972.64] Not good. Not good. |
[2972.64 --> 2975.64] I would lose consumer confidence basically immediately. |
[2975.64 --> 2983.64] If I had a Far Cry 4 pre-order, which I don't, but if I did have one, I honestly probably would have cancelled it |
[2983.64 --> 2985.64] once I read that Polygon post. |
[2985.64 --> 2987.64] Because I'm, I'm pretty skeptical already. |
[2987.64 --> 2989.64] There's very few things that I'll pre-order. |
[2989.64 --> 2992.64] I'll pre-order stuff like, uh, Smash Bros for Wii U. |
[2992.64 --> 2994.64] You would have normally pre-ordered Assassin's Creed. |
[2994.64 --> 2996.64] Actually, yes, I would have normally done that. |
[2996.64 --> 2999.64] I have done that for every single other Assassin's Creed launch but this one. |
[2999.64 --> 3000.64] Yeah. |
[3000.64 --> 3009.64] So anyway, TotalBiscuit came out and said he is not going to accept review copies of any game that has an embargo that is after the launch time of the game. |
[3009.64 --> 3010.64] Which is awesome. |
[3010.64 --> 3011.64] Which is awesome. |
[3011.64 --> 3014.64] And, uh, and I think, I think that's, I think that's great. |
[3014.64 --> 3015.64] I think that's a great way to handle it. |
[3015.64 --> 3020.64] And it just, I actually responded to, I think it was that tweet or one of the related ones, |
[3020.64 --> 3029.64] just because I was so blown away that you could have a review embargo after people are expected to drop their money for the game. |
[3029.64 --> 3031.64] I mean, no one in the hardware industry does that. |
[3031.64 --> 3032.64] No one. |
[3032.64 --> 3038.64] And you know what, and you know what, John, John TotalBiscuit has, has actually tweeted me as well, |
[3038.64 --> 3053.64] saying that he has no idea how we seem to kind of pull off this weird thing where our advertisers are hardware companies and yet we criticize these companies openly on our shows and in our reviews. |
[3053.64 --> 3064.64] And, and somehow we've managed to take money from these companies for advertising, maintain the trust of our viewers and maintain the relationships with these companies and do it all at the same time. |
[3064.64 --> 3067.64] And he was just like, how does this even work? |
[3067.64 --> 3072.64] I think it's because there's a much different mentality with like computer hardware companies and gaming companies. |
[3072.64 --> 3079.64] Computer hardware companies seem like infinitely humble and they'll take whatever you say and they're just like, yes, okay, next time we do better. |
[3079.64 --> 3081.64] And, and that's not true of all of them. |
[3081.64 --> 3082.64] No, no. |
[3082.64 --> 3083.64] But that's true of many of them. |
[3083.64 --> 3087.64] They just seem to be so much more mature than these gaming companies. |
[3087.64 --> 3093.64] Like someone like Corsair, if I come out and I slam them about something, I'll get an email. |
[3093.64 --> 3095.64] But they're not going to pull our funding. |
[3095.64 --> 3098.64] They're not going to pull, they're not going to refuse to work with us. |
