KF1 and 2 are in my top 5 games for hours played on Steam. Pushing at least 300. I haven't even played in like 2 years.

It is super fun.

Don't personally have a mac, but no one sleep on this if you have any interest adventure games. Or cartoons, or a small child who likes cartoons.

The action sequences in Full Throttle were clunky to control even when it was new, but it's still an excellent game

The remaster lets you skip the action scenes with a single button press if you want, and thank gently caress.

Even the original would let you skip the destruction derby part by pressing.. Something inane like Enter?

Link for folks like me who are wondering what people are talking about

Ars Technica posted:

Longtime CCO Serge Hascoet, described by Bloomberg game industry reporter Jason Schreier as Ubisoft's "most powerful creative force" and "the man in charge of ALL of their games," is leaving the company effective immediately, Schreier confirmed. Ubisoft's global HR chief Cecile Cornet and Ubisoft Canada's managing director Yannis Mallat also announced their intentions to "step down" from their current roles, and while Mallat is leaving the company altogether, Cornet's future with Ubisoft is not yet clear.

The news follows the resignation of Ubisoft Toronto co-founder Maxime Beland on July 3, which came in response to a Kotaku investigation that was set off, in part, by an internal allegation of abusive workplace behavior by Beland.

The "abusive workplace behavior" is serial sexual harassment, physical abuse, and creating a working environment rife with sexism and normalization of harassment.

E: Not meant to start a discussion here - there's other threads for that!

Their free games page is some broken rear end bare HTML looking thing with a scrollbar across the middle of the window and images that half load and disappear when you scroll. And that's when there isn't even a free game available! Not too surprised to hear they're collapsing under a big multimedia event giveaway

the stream thing says you only need to watch 1 minute to get the Watches Dog reward, although you can stick around for... a DLC jacket? So yeah it might get a bit quieter once people start dropping off (unless the reward doesn't visibly trigger, I mean that's probably not gonna happen right??)

nah I mean there's a chat panel and a rewards panel, I thought each reward might light up as you watch the required amount of minutes but looking now it just looks like one low res image instead (dunno if it was before, I'd probably have noticed but who knows!)

I logged into the Uplay app for the first time in about a year, clicked to watch and it's opened the stream in a browser window via Youtube.

There's a banner at the side saying 'Log in and watch the show to get these rewards!'

1 min - Watchdogs 2 PC
20 mins - Watchdogs 2 DLC jacket
30 mins - Division 2 Apparel Cache Key Pack
40 mins - Assassin's Creed Valhalla Moonlight axe

you can go here

and there's a stream, and you can login at the top right

but every section of their website acts like its own thing with its own login like they're subsidiaries of some megacorp or something

right now the stream has soldier vomiting huge streams of blood and the blood is filling up the ground? :ok:

Apparently it was a tv series about a fictional game that they decided to turn into a real game or something. I'm starting to think Watch Dogs 2 is not worth this poo poo.

Keep in mind folks that Watch _ Dogs 2 Probably sucks just as much as every other godless Ubisoft game and you're better off not debasing yourself for or wasting any of your time on this putrid company's promotional aspirations.
