@DennisReynolds Ive acknowledged all those things. Only hard fact we have are steam charts and even taking everything you said into consideration the steam data dont tell a good story.
Id like to think i dont have a horse in this race, all im saying is that ubisoft needed this game to be and do amazing. Its only doing “meh”. Which will not be nealy good enough to meet Ubis expectations. Again, that is all im saying.
@DennisReynolds Whats there to adress? Your arguments are as biased as the “racist bigots” arguments are, just in a different direction. You could say that day one steam reviews are even worse than metacritic, most of those people didnt even complete tutorial and are influenced by buyers remorse. Its funny to see how concretly you take those data.
I said so myself, even tho steam isnt the only platform, its the only reliable data we have and they dont tell a good story for ubisoft.
Its not a complete disaster as Outlaws was, but Ubisoft really needed 9 or 10 to pull out of the hole they dug themselves into and this game is 6 or 7 at best.
@JustMyOpinion why would people do thst tho? Gaming community is always there to praise a good game, just look at KCD2, game that also has black people and homosexual romance options. Why is that?
Its easy to dismiss criticism as “sexist biggot”, but its not always like that.
@ShogunRok It doesnt really matter how good the open world looks if its deep as a puddle with either nothing to do in it or pointless busy work.
For me the Ubi formula got stale in Far Cry 3 and it havent change much :/
I have fond memories of AC1,2 and black flag, but who knows? Maybe going back today would bore me as well. The “new” ACs dont interest me in the slightest.
@lazarus11 I have to absolutely disagree, pretry much everything about it was bad. The characters, writing, story, overall feel, combat, bulletsponge enemies even on “easy”. It was honestly a 3
@DennisReynolds Fair point, metacritic is not a perfect way to judge a game. On the other hand the “professionals” have a palpable disconnect with their audiance for well over a decade. I mean cmon PS gave Veilguars 8/10 too! A game that tanked to bad it broke a speed of light going to ps plus.
But theres a middle ground, watch some gameplay, some before you buy, and make your own mind. Judging game just be someone elses opinion isnt a way to go.
100% agree that morrowind is best in the series. But can yoy guys imagine modern Bethesda remaking it? I guarantee you it wouldnt be as you imagine. Let morrowind rest imo.
@Yaycandy Cmon pepsimab, how can you be mad about more options. Perfo mode on pro usually is equivalent to quali mode on base, plus now you have additional quality mode that goes above anything else.
As much as i hate remasters and the creative bankrupcy of the gaming scene they represent, i have to admit, Zero Dawn was pretty damn good! Gorgeous game!
I dont care what anyone says! Im on a hungerstrike until we get a floppy drive back. And not even the small ones, the big ones, that are actually floppy! Golden age of gaming was when games came drawn on a cave walls anyway! Boo on digital!

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Now Surpasses 2 Million Players in Two Days
@DennisReynolds I feel like our problem is that youre saying “its just another AC, its as good as AC gets”
And all im trying ot say is thst Ubisoft needed more than that. And its not more than that.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Soars Past 1 Million Players at Launch
@DennisReynolds Its the sales that matter Dennis, not players.
Im afraid youve fallen victim to corporate speech.
Its like the SW: Acolyte being the “second most-watched series on Disney Plus for 2024” despite absolutelly tanking.

8/10! Thats great score! Glad Shadows is doing great amongs game journalists!
Ill probably wait few months when its free on ps plus.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Split Fiction?
Easy 10.
Pinnacle of coop games.
Me and me wife are having insane amounts of fun. Even better than It takes two
Re: The Last of Us-Themed PS5 Controller Available to Pre-Order Now
That has to be the laziest “special” controller on market…. and the price. Yea, no.
Re: Rumour: Oblivion PS5 Remake Is Out Soon, Possibly Even Next Month
@themightyant I would argue its the lack of modern QOL that makes it great.
At least some of those, namely no fast travel and no map markers.

Re: Death Stranding 2 PS5 Release Date, Pre-Order Info Appears Imminent

Re: PlayStation Struck by More Layoffs in the Aftermath of Multiple Cancelled PS5 Games

Re: 3 New PS Plus Essential Games Live Now, Including PS5 RPG Dragon Age
@Bentleyma But Inquisition was already terrible! Filled with silly mmo like quests and blant characters.
Dragon age series is riding on the success of Origins, which is only a testament to how phenomenal that game was.
Re: Could the Next Xbox Get a Head Start on PS6?
I truly hope its good. SONY being the only option doesnt do anyone any good :/

Re: Forza Horizon 5 Will Be Best on PS5 Pro as Xbox Supports Sony's New System
@Skynet04 there was so little difference between 4 and 5 it barely matters. Id be fine with 4 too

Re: Forza Horizon 5 Will Be Best on PS5 Pro as Xbox Supports Sony's New System
As if, for the lack of better term, “some people” arent pissed off enough with the pricetag, now it also supports ps5 pro. Cant wait for the comments.
Personally preordered yesterday, FH was the only game i was jealous of xbox owners.
Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for March 2025 Announced
Keeping eseencial only for the cloud saves at this point. The plus games werent great for the last year or two and now were getting Failguard :/
Re: Xbox's Forza Horizon 5 Snatches April Release Date on PS5, Priced at $60
@EfYI I can look over the fact that you cant see difference between FH a GT out of ignorance.
But the fact that youre on a crusade against cashgrabs yet youre praising PSVR is sutch an obvious troll bait its not even funny :/
Re: PS5 Maker Faces Lawsuit Over So-Called 'Sony Tax' on Digital Games
@Foxhound No need to call people mames dude.
Both statemens can be true, digital is the future and also its overpriced now.
Just because cars were expensive before Ford, didnt mean the best course of action was to keep your horse.
Re: Copies of Assassin's Creed Shadows PS5 Sneak Past Official Release Date
@Steeleye50 Came here to say this haha
@breakneck Same as Veilguard was best Dragon Age since Inquisition, didnt make it any less of a disaster.
Re: PSN Slowly Coming Back Online After 20-Hour, Worldwide Outage on PS5, PS4

Re: Sony Issues DMCA Takedown Against Bloodborne 60FPS Mod, Four Years After Release
Thaf sucks, you hate to see it. Sony is pulling “the blizzard” with classic wow.
DMCA is not how you do it, you make your official version and make it better. Denying fans what they want is just bad rep.
Big L for sony in my opinion.
Re: Some Think GTA 6's Multiplayer Mode Could Be Sold Separately on PS5
Sure, why not. It became its own game anyway after all these years.
Re: Poll: Are You Buying Forza Horizon 5 on PS5?
Definetly day one for me. I played 3 on PC and misses it ever since. Amazing game.
Re: Forza Horizon 5 Confirmed for PS5, Out This Spring
Yeeeeeees! Ive been waiting for this one for so long! There goes the last(and only) reason to own xbox for me! Cant wait! Defo day one buy for me.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for February 2025 Announced

Re: Preview: Assassin's Creed Shadows Is the Golden Ticket Ubisoft Needs

Good. EA is where gaming companies go to die. Never forget Westwood!

Assasins Creed is extremely stale since Black Flag, i expect nothing.

Re: Major Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.1.1 Releases This Week, Promising Lots of Positive Changes
My main game right now, will probably stay so till KCD2.
Absolutelly amazing! Hated diablo4 on consoles, but this plays great. Encountered very little issues.
