Ubi open worlds are positively filled to the brim with things to do. Problem is, the stuff is appealing to very few people. By filling their worlds with crap, Ubisoft routinely neglects the main stories of their games. The stories are always bare bones, and the story is typically a big reason to play a sp game. Compunding this problem is the fact that their games are so alike these days. No matter the series, if it's open world, it's all the same. Assassins Creed, Far Cry, Ghost Recon, doesn't matter. They might as well be in the same universe.
Far Cry Instincts on Xbox was the sickest game ever when I played it. I paid 60 bucks for it, and when it was done in 20 hours, I couldnt wait to play it again. Now, the games are 70-100 hours, and I dont have fun the majority of the time. Spending 5 minutes to get to a quest giver, for him to give me a fetch quest, then finishing the lame quest only to need to go back to the quest giver for another 5 minutes is not fun!!!
I think the stories in the Assassin's Creed games are anything but bare bones. I also thought Far Cry 3 had a good story, haven't played Far Cry 4 yet.
I think the only company that consistently does story better is Rockstar but Rockstar doesnt release games anymore but once every 5 years so...
