Unless you played it between 2014 and 2019 (like i did), you're really missing out on Rayman Legends. And yes, that is the only Ubisoft game I can honestly recommend.
I always figured he had a couple hundred hours, but now the stories of the developer(s) asking if he could please stop scaring away new people are infinitely better
@@angulinhiduje6093 Yeah I butchered the original saying, it's Buying, Not Paying- meaning that if I am purchasing games to buy them. Blurring the line between buying and renting seems to be a common trend.
The Ticket to Ride strategy that Atrioc is talking about has been around as long as the USA board of the game has been around, sometimes called the “Dynamite Joe” strategy as it’s referred to by the achievements on the virtual version. The strategy of ignoring your route tickets and focusing on random draws/picking specific trains to save up for 6-tracks is one that can pretty easily be countered by non-novice players if they’re aware that the strategy is being attempted, and it has essentially been nerfed out of existence in more modern versions of the board and newer versions of the game. It’s cool that he was able to realize it as a strategy on his first time playing and more so that he was able to pull it off on people that probably had played the game a bunch, but it’s not really something that works nowadays, mostly because people who play a lot of Ticket to Ride don’t really play on the USA board anymore unless for nostalgia reasons.
you say this like the example he gave was for an encounter designed around playing ticket to ride. and not a random party in which a random board game was pulled, that being ticket to ride's USA board.
@@Slendifire The USA board's biggest flaw is the very isolated high scoring 6 train routes, which the score tickets rarely require. Future Ticket to Ride boards take the design approach of putting those 6 train routes in highly trafficked central board locations, and having a lot more of the score tickets use those routes, so you're required to play proactively to score them. Future editions of Ticket to Ride also introduced score modifiers like passenger tokens, train stations which let you use an opponent's train route in exchange for points, and additional cost routes like tunnels and ferries.
The reason why people switched to streaming is because cable sucked and Netflix and Hulu at that time has everything so it was an easy switch and a better service because you weren't locked in qnd you couldn't watch on demand content without recording it before and it had ads. Game pass has never been as good as easy to transition to as Netflix in 2015 and it never will be because all of the game publishers are trying to make their own pass. This means that game subscriptions will basically be starting in the place that streaming is right now. Unless Xbox and PlayStation really push hardware without disk drives this will not be happening.
yo this comment is actually really insightful. I didn't fully think about this. The transition from Cable -> Streaming was RAPIDLY sped up because content companies didn't know the value of their content and gave it all to Netflix. Netflix was amazing straight from the get go and had almost EVERYTHING (incl megahits like Friends, The Office, etc.) once people got used to this, THEN streaming fragmented but obviously nobody wanted to go back. In gaming, companies know the value of their content from the get-go. It's way more fragmented. There's no one super subscription to prove out the model to consumers. Agree this seems to be a big reason why "The Netflix of Gaming" has been pitched and discussed a lot but never really materialized. I think GamePass has a huge lead here but with how different games are (hardware lock in, dev time and costs being exponentially higher, etc.) its going to be harder. I do think Microsoft is very seriously thinking about hardware without disk drives, likely for the very next generation, and the expansion of PC game pass means I think they are planning for a future where this is entirely cloud on your TV and they don't sell hardware at all. Great comment ty was fun to think about.
I think the issue people have with the ubisoft comment is that it's implied no alternative option will be given, gamepass is an option to get all the games on it but you can also buy and own them individually. It's not giving people a choice that pisses people off probably.
The issue with the way he originally talked about the ticket to ride strategy was he said the game ends once your score tracker goes all the way around the board when the way the game actually ends is when one player runs out of trains. Now the strategy is still solid and will cause you to run out of trains quicker but it's not quite as good as initially described where you could just rush to 100 points after placing like 7 longer rails.
I really don't want games to become streaming services but the economics theoretically make sense... Some players just play a toooon once they find the right game. Since they clearly get so much more value, they should pay more too. Proper free market allocation says so. We can re-word it to be more palatable: users get charged reduced prices initially that slowly charge you with play time up until you've payed full price. This will make it easier for new users to try out new games.
You can check league hours individually per season and add all of them up. Opgg should also have a thing that shows total games played, which you can multiply by say 30 mins to get a rough amount of minutes played
season 1 started in july of 2010. i think he was playing before that, but im sure the vast majority of his playtime is after.@@Thisisthegreatestatofalltime
This is just so hilariously evil if you just take the corporate speak out of it. Ubisoft's literally saying "People who pay for our products should not own them, so we can indefinitely squeeze money out of them for the same thing they could get in the past for a one time purchase.
@colbyhouston8105 Has Steam so far ever de-listed a game entirely? They shut down servers, sure, but apart from obvious trashheaps, I cannot remember Steam taking away a licensed game from a user...
Real question, I've played some ticket to ride and never encountered this as an unbeatable strategy because you can take the colours they need or play them yourselves in combination with a route. It seems incredibly inconsistent to me for this to work every game especially if you don't get lucky with the minimum possible value tickets in your opening hand.
@@AMageOldAsDirt We just told people to not do it and played by the honor system so there are still some ways to get around it by like just getting the long route cards that have all the 6 in it but it does make it a lot harder to do
just played Ticket to Ride with some co-workers tonight. I wen't for all 6-long tracks. lost by a single point to the player who completed over 40pts in routes. almost won though.
This probably wont get read by Atrioc, but hey Atrioc you're doing a good job. You've made some amazing content in your Marketing Mondays, speedrun contests and the audience interactions in general. You've fostered an amazing community, some without you even knowing like the aclu. While you might feel at times its undeserved, just know that the community has stuck with you and appreciate the work you continue to put out. If you end up reading the comments and see the brainrot, just appreciate how long the community can keep going on 2 am energy. You're doing great and we appreciate the content, whether its well made or a shitpost. Maybe even both. If you do end up reading this comment i guess i have to include a funny. Google keeps auto-correcting atrioc to patriotic, so eat a glizzy for the troops or something. Hope you have a wonderful day. (not sure why Atrioc with a capital A auto-corrects to Catriona)
I have like 10k hours in DotA 2, and that doesnt count playing WC3 DotA map or the stand alone clone Heroes of Newerth. I still am absolute trash at the game.
Atrioc's strategy might be well and good for the old tickets to ride, but we who play Tickets to Ride: Europe ™knows that the real strategy is to finish your long routes. Don't believe the Glizzard's lies.
He also didn't mention the penalty for unfinished routes. Furthermore, his hypothetical two seperate turns don't account for acquiring 6 cards of the same color. That takes a LOT of turns of just saving up cards while your opponents are already building routes. Short links = more connections = more tickets.
@@smeetsnoud1 Bro you are the dumb person he is talking about. 1. His is talking about the average turn. On average your trains are worth 2.5 times as much as their trains and you are getting 66% more of them on a person playing 2 train routes. There is no debating this. You are just wrong. 2. He definitely did talk about the unfinished routes. Actually watch the video. It's is so incredibly worth it to spend 12 points up front to get the MASSIVE efficiency gains of the 6 train routes. Plus ending the game more quickly with your more efficient train gain means that other players are more likely to be stuck with long routes that they can't finish.
@@smeetsnoud1he did mention the penalty, but he brushed it side by saying "just pick the smallest" which is such a luck based strategy. It's not so simple as "short = more connections", the whole game is supposed to be about adapting to what comes up and in a luck based game sometimes the resources available to you putting down short routes is good and sometimes long is good. What confused me about his rant is that the entire table can hate what he's doing but apparently none of these god gamers stopped him from getting 6 of the same colour.
I mean, he's looking at and talking about the USA board. Where ya, Big Train is the dominant strategy. It's why those boards aren't popular among people who take an entry level board game too seriously.
I used the Ubisoft service once lol, I moved across the country for college and I don’t have a PC or consul in my apartment but my Amazon tv has Luna so I got the Ubisoft pass to play Farcry 6 and Assasins creed for a while. After I beat them I got bored and unsubscribed lol but for $15 being able to play all those games was fun
I love how every genuinely good Choices Matter RPG game that Atrioc had a lot of hours on he claimed his hours weren't real. Bro is more embarrassed about putting time in on a genuinely good RPG game than he is Shardbound lmao.
How about we save tf2 for titanfall 2 and team fortress can get another acronym? I know it came out much later, but I just find it confusing this way and don't want to change over a game I haven't played.
@@hexcodeff6624 idk Twitter and RU-vid have already decided it and I havnt played titan fall but team fortress 2 is actually unplayable and valve is not doing squat ab it. This is actually the second #savetf2 event because all that resulted in the first one was a short twitter post from valve
The Ubisoft Exec's comments were taken completely out of context. Not trying to defend anything, but read the interview. The interviewer asked him what needed to change in order for Ubisoft Plus to be successful. Secondly, he also mentions how Ubisoft is okay with people buying and owning their games. Just an example of how headlines go viral and nobody cares to do their due diligence.
Even when you buy the game digital, you don't really "own" it. It's already a service. When steam is deleting one game in their store, you can't play it anymore even though you bought it. So you are already paying just for the access to the game rather than the ownership
Twitch chat is literally composed of children, when they hear figma, they say ligma. Also, knowing a surprising amount of them study or work in tech and don't know what it is, it's embarrassing. Sorry for the rant.
switch 2 at ps4 level are you kidding me??? no way, the og switch wasnt half as powerful as the ps3, it doesnt matter what they put in these devices they keep capping their performance by limiting the power draw and refusing to increase the battery banks size, the switch will always be a worse handheld than even a small laptop (see gpd win max gpd win 3 or for comparable prices while still styling on the performance steam deck) ((seriously, due to how badly mobile devices get capped by their batterys switch 2 will stop get stomped by my og gpd win max with the intel chip its just sad))
I genuinely think serious triple A titles should start valuing themselves at 100$ for the base game. I’m talking titles like GTA 6, I would without hesitation spend 100$+ for that game. They’re willing to take serious risks with ownership when no one has even tried raising the minimum
live servcie games also suck because they remove games from the service. want to play a game you played 6 months ago? likely it isnt on the pass anymore
He's not wrong about the economy of it and it being a valid strategy, but I find it wild that he opens the explanation by saying "we're a gaming company and we're good at games" whilst he apparently could get all the 6 of a kind colours he wanted and nobody beat him to the other 6 train routes. 6 train routes are good, and they should be because it takes a specific and telegraphed combination of resources. Unless he's just getting lucky with blind draws all the time.
You spend time talk about games video and he doesn’t play games. BP wanted didn’t money. He fed me and Ma and Jeffrey for two days. BP just like TL and alone.
Or they can steal your colours or place 6s themselves. He's very right about the turn economy but it's insane that people just sit by and let him do it in a game about adapting your route based on what resources you find available.
