I got it for 38€ and I actually really like it.
According to the reviews, you’re wrong. Stop having fun
Game is sitting on a 6/10 on opencritic, that’s still an okay game for me 😅
I don’t know why opencritic labels it as weak. For me its always 6=okay, 7=good, 8=very good, 9=awesome, 10=Masterpiece…
It cracks me up how a scale of one to ten is always actually a scale of six to ten. Or maybe five to ten of they really hate the thing.
There’s a bunch of videos on YouTube now separately comparing Batman Arkham Knight to Gotham Knights/Suicide Squad, and AC4: Black Flag to Skull and Bones.
There is absolutely a trend of brain drain in game development that no amount of contractors can fill now.
Is Suicide Squad out yet?
To be fair That usually comes from the shareholders that have never played a video game in their life
With the awareness that some people might call me names for saying that… AC4: black flag wasn’t even that good of a game in my opinion
It was my favourite Assassin’s Creed game since AC2, because it contained the least amount of Assassin’s Creed.
Pirating this pirate game would be funny. But it’s a Ubisoft game, so even free is too expensive.
Not really, because pirating means removing the DRM which is the main reason of why “even free is too expensive”.
Even if it doesn’t cost money, it costs time to download and play it. Time you could have spent doing/playing something better.
The next Ubisoft game I play will be sponsored by Ubisoft, so likely never. They stopped making good games before I left high school.
Worst game of the year so far.
I’ll be over here playing my dwarf games.
Rock n Stone!
Strike the earth!
And my axe!
Just ignore the “triple A” industry and games are usually great. Lots of small passionate studios still pumping out quality stuff.
I played the demo for Mouthwashing and it was excellent. Nice little horror game without jump scares that really evokes dread.
The Deep Rock Survivors game is pretty cool too. Lots of neat stuff coming out these days.
Honestly really liking DRG Surviors, and I usually don’t like the genre.
Yea I’ve mainly been focusing on smaller games recently. Last AAA game I bought was Cyberpunk 77, which I enjoyed but was a whole thing. There’s so many good indy games coming and going its definitely worth it to look into some of them
Seriously. I’ve been playing Ready or Not, Palworld, and Helldivers 2 lately, and I’m having a great time with gaming.

This is not a triple A game actually. Ubisoft CEO referred it as a four A. AAAA.
More A equals more good
To investors who know shit about gaming, not to gamers…maybe he meant the costs which could be in the 4A sector after all this time 😅
While “AAA” has lost all meaning: even in that space we have some real bangers already
Yakuza/Like a Dragon 8 is already in the running as one of the all time great JRPGs (and probably a top 50 GOAT in terms of games period). FF7R2 is going to have to REALLY screw up for fans to not feel strongly about it. And Dragon’s Dogma 2 is, somehow, showing all signs of actually being faithful to the incredibly weird original. We also might be seeing Elden Ring DLC sooner than later. Tekken 8 seems to be incredibly well received… accessibility aside. That gets us to the end of March (ER has a mysterious youtube entry but it has for weeks so who knows)? Even if nothing else happens this year, that already is a stacked as hell line-up.
Two months in and, gaming wise, 2024 is shaping up really well. Like most years, people see what they want to see. If you want to say things are a flop, there are flops. If you want to say things are awesome, there are some truly amazing games.
I’m so excited for 7 rebirth. And one I’ve finished that I’ll be getting persona 3 reload to replay one of my favourite games. With those two alone and me catching up on some of last year’s games, this year is going to be a good one for me.
Ubisoft also published the best game of the year, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Best metroidvania game I’ve played in a long time.
The worst game of the year so far.
This is going to be a great year for indie games. (Currently playing, “Techtonica.”)
Certainly won’t be as good a year as 2023.
Games are looking great this year! Earthblade by the creators of Celeste, Hades 2, Silk song (I Believe) If you ignore AAA, it’s going great!
Trails through daybreak, dragons dogma 2, avowed, Indiana Jones are all games I’m looking forward to off the top of my head. Trails through daybreak is actually the game I’m most excited about.
Did anyone say Silksong?

It’s ok, this game is AAAA so AAA will be ok. /s
Lol
Me hoping that the next Obsidian game isn’t disappointing.
Honestly if Avowed just feels like a huge Skyrim mod they’ll probably do well.
I never saw Avowed that way before.
I have pretty high hopes for Obsidian on their next flagship game. Even the worst game of theirs is still pretty good! Alpha Protocol is a janky mess but it’s very fun to play with.
I just replayed Alpha Protocol. You said it perfectly. Janky, but fun
Forspoken came out at the start of last year and we also got Redfall. 2023 was a stacked year for games.
Maybe the more bad games that come out mean we’re also getting good ones to balance things.
We have also had, Tekken 8, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Granblue Fantasy Relink, Persona 3r and Helldivers 2.
A couple bad/mediocre games is to be expected when we are only in Feb and this year is such a fucking banger for games already.
Was this irony or did you just associate Forspoken with “good”?
I meant Forspoken and Redfall were examples of bad games we got last year. The spectrum of fully mid to fully awful.
Hey now, teamforetress 2 got a 64 bit beta that improved the game performance by a solid 20-30%
Valve might finally make the Heavy update
Call me when they make an update that removes the nazis.
EDIT: The joke is that they never will because they’re a white supremacist company who wouldn’t even say “black lives matter”

Depends what you want.
I’m hoping it’s the year of the live service graveyard though.
Holy cow I’d love that too.
I want to buy a game, not an ongoing financial leeching.
We’ll see. Helldivers 2 is a gigantic success but it’s a rare occurrence of a live service game being really good, priced correctly, and not abusively monetized.
I don’t know guys. It seems Unisoft have lost it. I don’t buy games from them anymore. I don’t know what happened to me, but after I made the decision, I found myself buying Far Cry 6 even though I hated Far Cry 5 with passion (I think it was Gustavo Fring). I am 2 hours in and I am not feeling it. The prologue was nice but then it turned into random missions. Go do this, do that. Should I just drop the game?
Yeah refund it and get the new Prince of Persia instead
Why not pirate it first if you didn;t enjoy the last one? I disliked 5, pirated 6 and found out very early that it wasn’t gonna be good.
Ubisoft lost it after AC Brotherhood.
FC6 was the first ubi game I really disliked. same as you a few hours in and I just couldn’t get into the vibe of it. I really liked FC5 (possibly in my top 10 of all time) but 6 felt like such a miss
I’m have the exact opposite reaction right now. I stopped buying Ubi games years ago, but through give aways I got Assassins Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla for free. I never touched them until recently when a friend started playing through Odyssey and was talking about how much fun he was having. I installed Origins and played though it (because I can’t skip games in a series) and I kinda enjoyed it. Then I played Odyssey and it blew me away with how much fun I had. I’m on to the second DLC of it, and when I’m done I’ll start up Valhalla.
As far as Far Cry games go, though, I haven’t enjoyed one since 3.
I’ve played Odyssey and it was fairly fun to play, but Valhalla to me seemed a bit, idk, empty? Not much parkouring around in large towns like an assassin when the buildings are pretty sparse and small.
Thats what worries me the most. I heard that Valhalla was pretty much just an action hack and slash, and that isn’t what I want. I’m going to give it a go, but I’m not getting my hopes up.
