Out of interest what disappoints you about Ubisoft games? The microtransactions?
Same boring formula in every game, big lack of depth (big world but nothing interesting to do in them) and repetetive gameplay, AAA prices for AA quality

IMO the quality of Ubisoft games is AAA which is why some of their franchises are so popular and sell well. Their issue is less quality and more that there isn't enough variance in their sequels as they all use the same formula in a different setting. The formula is very good but there's no arguing from me that there's definitely a samness to their games as there is repetitiveness but IMO they are no more repetitive than games like any insomniac game such as Spiderman or Sucker Punch game such Ghosts of Tsushima. You say the same thing about Ubisoft games every time they release a new game and I simply don't think they are for you so I don't know why you would entertain purchasing another one.

Because they hold the rights to some of my favourite franchises and I've had to sit back and watch them ruin each one by shoving in game mechanics that don't fit. Yet like an idiot I still hold out hope and try the new installments just to get even angrier each time.
It's a vicous cycle. Never trust the French with nice stuff
I don’t mind formulaic studios, so long as I like the formula, but it’s that much more disappointing when you invest in a game that is developed along a formula you like and the outcome doesn’t live up to previous instalments.
Far cry, for example. Some of the most fun I’ve had and committed I’ve been to a couple of them, and others I didn’t bother to finish. Same exact formula every time, just annoying when they swing and miss on it, especially because I’ll buy it every time.

Managed to get the ePSXe emulator working on my Android tablet a few days ago so I downloaded the Suikoden rom and have been playing that. Haven't played that game in about 20 years if not more. Probably will end up playing Suikoden II right after as well as I already have that downloaded.

Agreed. I can't believe how much enjoyment I get from ambushing couriers with high explosives. Every damn time.
The girl started Watch Dog: Legion this morning. Every time I look in on her, she's got a grina mile wide, and we can hear lots of happy noise lol. She's quite happy to see the accessibility features again - not as many as "The Last of Us II" had, but enough to be helpful. Guessing we don't see her for a few days lol.

The new Spider-Man game has the suit from Into the Spider-Verse and it can even move in the low framerate style from the movie (though I guess that's an option).
Man if the whole game was in the style that would be amazing, but looking forward to this.

Unsung Story was Kickstarted as a spiritual successor to Final Fantasy Tactics. Well, after five years and a dev team change it looks like it'll be released in the next month or so. At least Chapter 1 will be. I'm excited to try it.
Well it certainly doesn't look like a spiritual successor to FFT, art or setting or character or really anything-wise, other than being a tile-based strategy RPG.

It was abandoned by the original developers so that premise pretty much went out the window. I'm just happy that I'm getting a game at all.
Much of what made Unsung Story a spiritual successor are no longer a part of the game, but the guts are still there. Yasumi Matsuno, the director of FFT, wrote the basics of Unsung Story at the start of the Kickstarter. That also included a significant change to the battle system which was ultimately rejected by the developers.
The other original parts were having Akihiro Yoshida do the artwork and Hitoshi Sakimoto do the music, so the main trio who made FFT what it was would essentially be reunited. Obviously none of that happened, so what you see now is very different. Given that I've put money into the Kickstarter and assumed it a failed project, I'm willing to give this reborn version a shot.
