Sorry Ubisoft, But This Is the Worst Unboxing Ever

Taking the unboxing out of unboxing

by Sammy Barker Thu 16th Oct 2014

Ubisoft, when you label your video as an unboxing, please understand that it comes with a set of standards attached. It’s a bit like the PlayStation TV – people thought that they’d be able to watch Netflix on that thing, and were understandably irritated when they couldn’t. So, while this Far Cry 4 Kyrat Edition sure looks great unwrapped, we sort of expected more than flashy camera shots in this clip.

What I'd like to know is who's the marketing genius at Ubisoft?

So the map actually becomes 3D and launches us into the world of the game? WOW. More collector's editions need to do that! I'm looking at you, Skyrim.

I've never bought the special edition of games...the standard version is expensive enough, even if some of the stuff that comes in the special packs is cool (fallout 3).

That map has me jonesing even more for GoT.

So did they actually make special editions for all 5 versions of this game? It's hard to tell from that vid, I'm not even sure what hardware it was running on though I'ld guess either PC or PS4.

That's not exactly an "unboxing" now is it? That was more of a "here's what you get" quick look kinda deal. They should've, you know, actually show the actual items in their actual detail as opposed to this.

I honestly thought that was a trailer for a stop motion film or something.
