Tall order for an open world game, let’s see how they deliver on this, if at all.

Or how about they start making games people want to actually buy?
How about truly new games instead of zero-risk remakes/reboots/sequels or truly awful slop like Concord?
343 is okay at making gameplay, but they are not good at making Halo gameplay. I mean, Halo 4 was just Call of Duty with Halo window dressing. And it makes sense because 343 was so proud to announce that they hired people who hate Halo to work on Halo. Well look how that turned out.
Nobody was missing out on anything. All of 343s Halo games have been garbage, but Halo 5 takes the garbage cake home.
The translation layer is awesome for every other game though.
Hope it remains readily available after the holidays too
Hopefully supporters remember The Game Before the developers next one lol
Okay, and?
Nintendo fuming
Big shock. This game has had a lot of red flags, and not the good kind one would expect from a Japanese themed game. Everything about this game from the marketing to the merchandising has been bad at best, and outright offensive/borderline racist at worst.
People have been dreaming of a Japan based AC game since the first one. Ubisoft could not have picked a worse game to mess up this badly than this one.
Finally, let me address some of the polarized comments around Ubisoft lately. I want to reaffirm that we are an entertainment-first company, creating games for the broadest possible audience, and our goal is not to push any specific agenda. We remain committed to creating games for fans and players that everyone can enjoy.”
I do not believe you Yves. You say you are committed to making games everyone want to enjoy, but your last like 4 games have released to awful sales because basically nobody wanted to play them. If you were committed to making games everyone wanted to enjoy then your sales would not be garbage. Your words and your data do not match. I mean, you literally just said Ubisoft remains committed to the GaaS model for games, thats pretty much the opposite of being player committed.
GOTY 2024, this one
Wait, its not Nintendo this time?
Stellarblade is requesting Shift Up and Sony be prevented from using Stellar Blade or any other similar name in the future - and that all Stellar Blade material in their possession is handed over to be destroyed.
LOL. This is rich.
Im just a person pointing out that this site has issues. Make up your own opinion, I don’t care.
Interesting, but its based on user generated input, so this data could easily be manipulated by someone that doesn’t like particular games creating a few accounts to add bad data.
FromSoftware has never made a game I didn’t enjoy. From their well known games like Dark Souls, Armored Core, and now apparently everyone on Earth knows about King’s Field, to their more niche titles like Metal Wolf Chaos, Kuon, and The Adventures of Cookie and Cream. Yes, I even liked Ninja Blade.
Except Steel Battalion for the Xbox 360 but that is entirely because Capcom mandated the Kinect be used for controls.
Also am a big fan of Konami, pre-2005. They never really had huge masterpieces aside from what Kojima and Team Silent made, but their other games were fun and varied, taking on almost an experimental position. Games like Gungage were very engaging, if a little short.
Life is more comfortable, but it’s a lot more miserable too. Incredibly high levels of poverty, overcrowded cities, too many work activites tried to pack into just one day, etc.
Life back in the 1910s, for example, was a lot simpler. There was less work that people were expected to do in a day, so they could take their time getting done what needed to be done. And had more time for themselves when they were off work. The general cost of living was way lower than it is now. A person could have a family with a nice home and a big plot of land on a single income. Cities were less noisy and less overcrowded than they are now. They still had plumbing, electricity, radio even, and they also had ways they could be more social in person. They didn’t have cell phones that their boss could hound them to show up to work at any hour of the day. They didn’t have smart devices that could provide immediate and addicting stimulus in their pocket all day long. They didn’t have social media wreaking all sorts of havoc on the entire global society of humanity. People were much more patient back then because they had to be, unlike now when everyone wants everything done instantly. They had a lot of jobs that are mostly gone now because technology and robots replaced them. Paperboys and Milk Men, for example. The food was less processed, restaurants either had fresh, real ingredients or they served rotten food and lost business quickly. With all the information available to people today, people back in the 1910s were significantly more informed on topics than now, especially on topics about their local community. Depression, anxiety, and other sorts of disorders were way lower than they are today, primarily because the causes of those things either didn’t exist back then or were not accessible to the general public.
All the modern amenities can be nice, but for all the good things like the internet do, they also sure do a lot of harm. Plenty of criminals abuse the internet every day, and commit disgusting, unspeakable crimes they otherwise would not be able to without internet access. Terrorists are able to organize much more efficiently than before when they would have to rely on physical messengers, letters, or some contrived telegraph system.
People may live longer now, but is that really a big win? I mean, what, we get on average 10 or 20 more years of suffering? Being old is not fun, they’re not the good years of a person’s life. Even if you make them more comfortable, they’re still old and still have to lose independence and autonomy. They have to just watch as life takes away the freedoms that they had, and the joy those freedoms gave them fades away.
Should the world reset to the 1910s? I don’t know, and it doesn’t really matter since that will never happen. But looking back on how humanity has progressed until now, I personally can’t say that the condition of humanity has got any better.
This is how progress in gaming dies. Big companies abusing the law. This needs to be stopped, but unfortunately nothing will be done and things will continue to get worse.
The worst part? This is going to happen to everything. Not just gaming.
Life sucks. Right now is literally the worst time to be alive, and it will only get worse.
May your Ls be massive, and your wenches dry, Nintendo.
Random combat is the number one thing that makes me drop a game.
Its annoying, it happens too often, it always interrupts me when I want to do something else, and it is too repetitive.
This is why I stopped playing a lot of JRPGs. The other thing I drop them for is when combat only has a single song and always starts with the exact same intro, like what happened with Dragon Quest 11 or whatever it was that I played.
I hate grinding. Its repetitive and boring. Its not fun. If a games story missions are not paced properly with level such that I can do only the story missions and never be underleveled, then I will drop that game immediately.
