I wonder when Ubisoft makes these games, if some innocent young developer stands up in the design room, coughs, and goes "hey guys, do you think maybe it's time to stop making this utter shit for sub 70 IQ morons, and maybe create an interesting historical game instead, with actual game mechanics, a serious story, etc?" And then if the senior designer pulls the lever under his chair, and the young dunce falls through the floor to Rancor's cage.
It's not that I like Ubisoft, I can't stand them, but if you think these games are tedious to play, can you imagine how tedious they are to make, if you have the faintest interest in actual gaming and a half-functioning brain?
