Ubisoft has both of its annual franchises in stores, but reviews are not too positive. Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity were both expected to be big upgrades for the franchises, pushing them into the next generation.

Sadly, it appears the only pushing Ubisoft has done is the same formula that has worked for the past few years, but nothing truly innovative or interesting enough to perk older or newer players into the fray.

Assassin's Creed Unity was promoted as the next-gen experience of AC in Paris, but graphics issues and bugs have killed the dream of seeing a glorious rendition of seventeenth century Paris,. Instead Ubisoft has delivered people sinking into the ground, horrific cut-scene faces and lackluster performance on the highest-end PCs.

If that wasn't enough, Ubisoft also failed to deliver on its promises of better combat and parkour. The two "revamped" features use the same mechanics as they have done since Assassin's Creed's inception and lack any real advantage over previous titles.

Ubisoft decided in order to reward itself for accomplishing so much with Unity, it would also implement a ton of micro-transactions and "connect to uPlay" features, further distancing itself from the gaming world.

Even though Far Cry 4 is not nearly as bad as Assassin's Creed Unity when it comes to bugs and micro-transactions, it still has its share of repetitiveness and lackluster performance.

Almost all of the mechanics and mini-missions come from Far Cry 3, including signal towers, camera lock-ons, shooting, hunting, camps and more. Ubisoft has either ran out of ideas or could not implement new features quick enough for the yearly release.

Far Cry 4 also cannot seem to run well on the highest-end PCs at Ultra graphics. Both games fail to optimize - various graphical features like anti-aliasing and texture quality tank performance, lower frame rates and create an unplayable experience.

Let us not forget Ubisoft's lackluster game from earlier in the year: Watch Dogs. Promoted as the best IP this decade, performance and bugs plagued the game, alongside an underwhelming single-player campaign and uninteresting multi-player experiences.

The two failures have not just left an effect on gamers, the stock market is starting to question Ubisoft, despite strong sales. Like the EA of a few years ago, Ubisoft has lost its customers trust, even more than usual, and will be crucified if they fail again
