You don’t even need to go sailing, you can just stop at not buying their games. Ubisoft has not put out any game I’d really consider a must-play in over a decade. The last interesting Ubisoft open-world game was Black Flag in 2013. Even if you’re an absolute glutton for open-world designed by committee slop, Sony basically ate Ubisoft’s lunch with Ghosts of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Spiderman. Pirate those instead.
It hasn’t been a serious franchise since Wacraft 2 Tides of Darkness, it’s always had a goofy art-style alongside lots of silly gags and pop culture references.
What are we doing, let’s start reposting it now!
I’ve been trained by Anor Londo, you simply rush the man and yeet him off the building.
because “hurr durr it’s an IP we own.”
Same reason as why Bethesda slapped Prey on Arcane’s spooky space station imsim. It doesn’t need to make sense, the games don’t need to be connected, the IP doesn’t have to be popular, companies are just so adverse to a new IP that they would rather change everything about an old one.
You don’t have to pay people to generate good reviews. You can also just only choose to give review keys to friendly media outlets you’ve already built a relationship and know will treat you uncritically.
Having met a Revolution Fighter, full first name, I wouldn’t be too quick to dismiss this outright.
Nah it’s fine, see I don’t live in a swing-state, so nobody cares about my vote at all!
That honestly is being too generous. I’d say it feels like an incomplete mod, because I usually have to add a mod to actually make the settlement system worth interacting with.
autoerotic asphyxiation
Isn’t one of the newer mutants just …an actual furry? I think their name is Good Boy and their power is to turn into their blue and white wolf fursona?
Just to say, this isn’t even the most furbait thing Marvel has done, the rabbit hole goes deeper.
It actually is just another open-world action game with crafting elements, they may have been rare once but now they’re a dime a dozen.
Just pirate anything Sony puts out. This shit makes it clear that it’s not worth giving them a single dollar. And if we’re being really honest, all their games are super generic and very mid, you can just ignore them as a developer completely and you won’t miss out on anything.
Cyberpunk is very much not a shit game, it’s a pretty good RPG with a great variety of character builds and fantastic writing. The devs did an absurd amount of work in order to make the gameplay significantly more fun. I’d also make the argument that Witcher 2 is a really good game, and is what popularized the series enough for Witcher 3 to be such a colossally known hit. The two companies make very different RPGs to one another, for sure, but you’re just being a contrarian if you think the pedigree of the two companies is vastly different.
Probably the toughest part would be actually finding cute clothes in male proportions. It’s so hard to find corsets, crop tops, etc that fit without having tits.
Neither of which will matter.
Bethesda’s game design is just too old. Playing Starfield felt like playing an RPG from a decade ago. Bethesda just got complacent from back when they were one of the only companies that could seriously do an open-world RPG, now we have CD Projekt-Red and FromSoftware with wildly different, significantly more innovative gameplay experiences. Hell, even other AAA devs like Capcom have been able to outperform in the open world space, Dragon’s Dogma 2 was a ton of fun.
I feel like it’s a pretty bold claim to call America the inventor of furries when ancient Egyptians were making fursonas.
If you’ve never seen SolidJJ’s riff on that scene, I highly recommend it. It posits the idea of Xavier using Magneto’s memories on other people as a regular weapon.
There is no more phone. There is no more world. There is only Balatro now.
Kinda wild they’ve now done this for nearly every game in their portfolio though. We have multiple flavors of World of Warcraft Classic, Hearthstone had a Classic mode for about a year, D2R is basically Diablo Classic, now there’s gonna be Overwatch Classic. I guess we just need a Heroes of the Storm Classic and a remake of Brood War to complete the set.
