Things aren't looking good for ubisoft.

That should be the least of their problems honestly. After the horrible frame rates, the fact that the PS4 can have that fixed by taking the game offline, and PC fix them by turning the WiFi off, the same kind of problems happening with Watch Dogs and the trophy/achievement mocking #resolutiongate, which Ubisoft has had a huge hand in creating, glitches seem like a very small thing to be concerned about. Still, the fact that this game has had this many problems, and now glitching is this bad, it's not just not looking good for them at all. They ha better hope that Farcry 4 is perfect or they will be looking at some serious problems in the near future.

Ubisoft has gone... soft?

[CLXcool]

They didn't go soft, they just didn't take the time to look over the game for the various glitches that are in the game(along with fixing them) before releasing the game.

I guess having multiple teams specifically to meet end of year deadlines can have a few downsides....

I've considered it a dead channel for years now, but finally G4 is getting yanked off the air. This was sad for me to read because it reminded me of the good old days when it was Tech TV. I would waste my entire day sometimes just watching that channel due to all the amazing video game related shows they'd air. Cinema Tech was probably my favorite because it showed random clips from games. It was how I found out about Rule of Rose and Katamari Damacy; I remembered those titles and freaked when they got released in the US.

Judgement Day was a darn funny game review show. I miss those guys.

I think there was also some sort of top five or top ten countdown show with various video game subject.

At night, for a little while, I remember them showing anime as well.

Boy do I miss the original channel ><

It's weird because we never got G4 over here, but I watched a couple of moments on YouTube over the years. I know Adam Sessler came from there but it really seem to come off a DudeBro show.

It used to be a good show. It really was. Back in the day, I would watch X-Play, Cheat, and the other gaming programs they had. Every year, they would cover major events and did a pretty good job of it for the times. I remember E3 so fondly as a kid, watching it with my brother at night with all the lights off. It was like Christmas but more special. It was a good show. It really was.

I remember first getting cable and my mom telling me that there was a channel dedicated to video games. It just blew my mind at the time. I spent so much time watching X-Play. Adam Sessler will always have a special place in my heart, and I was sad to see him leave the gaming industry.

RIP in piece G4.

G4 for me died when Xplay was off the air. Rest in peace to the former video game themed channel.

I watched that G4 a lot. I watched Ninja Warrior more than anything. Then DirecTV took it off air due to some dispute over money or something. Greedy bastards.

[Psychospacecow]

They ended up bringing Ninja Warrior back on G4 but it didn't take long until they had variants of it that sucked.

[gamemaster1991]

I use to like X-Play, up until I noticed that they were giving out bad reviews to not that bad games and good reviews to the same old thing thing and games with big budgets.

I also liked Ninja Warrior and Unbeatable Banzuke. The American Ninja Warrior just is not the same to me and I really miss watching Unbeatable Banzuke on TV.

[Psychospacecow]

The funny thing is, they kind of had to do that. It got to a point where they made comedy skits warning people of who were currently paying them off.
