I enjoy the typical open world Ubisoft experience for about the first quarter of the game. Then somehow I always get mentally tired of it and shelve it. But I do have fun with them right before I quit playing them.

Thank you! We enjoyed the local co-op quite a bit. Any technical changes with the Series version? Better load times?
Honestly? Not a whole lot - it already loaded quite fast. We've been handling basically every SKU of the game for months now already, and to make it a Smart Delivery game we've had to bring the Xbox One version in line with the new one anyway (we've fixed so many bugs...) We had to re-do the lighting and other visual effects for technical reasons but the goal was to match what was already there rather than make it better. It is higher resolution and generally performs a lot more consistently than it used to, though!

TBF a quarter of a Ubisoft open world game is quite a long time so that's still a fairly good value proposition IMO

The first quarter is the part made for youtubers to show off in a series of sponsored videos before they shelve the game forever.

You probably missed on on an epic qte final boss fight.

Scroll, then. There are other posts than these.


Yeah the first hour or two exploring the mechanics of ubisoft games are fun, and then you see the unlockable skills or whatever and realize it's not gonna change and then you ignore the icon until you need space and uninstall it.

That why i like the crew 1 and steep. Great podcast games about being chill and just keeping on the move.

The crew 2 is the anti thesis of this, it's about doing events at different places, i believe like horizon, never being in a persistent location. The crew 1 was magic, you drive literally across the country doing random events that pop up on the drive, though they never stop your momentum and give you xp, and then someone is flashing lights at you and now there are two of you busting around chasing each other down a mountain.

The crew 1 is so good, I could go on, like the gps waypoint system that changes depending on your car type so if you get performance, the arrow is a strict line on the road, but if you pick anything towards offroad, the arrow will just casually point in the direction and tell you to get there.

they really do. BF5 is kind of fun to revisit but mostly thats because of how different it is to COD2019.

the crafting aspect of it completely sucks and should not come to BF6.

Dice has had a bad record with fans this past gen from loving up bf4 launch, to bf hardline, to the sw gambling debacle, to bfv which everyone hates.

Bf1 was well liked but fans of bf are not happy with the series

In defense of dice, of which there usually is none, Hardline was some other dev. That’s why the gunplay was somewhat better than 4.

Did you finish it? I watched an LP of it and way taken aback by how bad it was failing at being a Silent Hill game. Part of Silent Hill is the janky combat. if you don't have that you don't have a Silent Hill game.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
So is there any reason I apparently can't get GamePass for PC with my Bing rewards points? I claimed it last month, but the only thing showing up now is GamePass Ultimate, which doesn't really help me all that much since I don't have an Xbox.

They rotate rewards in and out I think, either that or they're based on stock/inventory.

What? They had one bad game. Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 were both amazing.

Call of Duty had like 4 straight games that were garbage and they are doing fine since MW2019.

Battlefield 6 launching day one on gamepass would get me to play it, but like I can already tell you Im not gonna stick with it.

Which is fine because wherever in the press conference they announce Psychonauts 2 is now available to play Ill stop watching.

They might as well try the free to play gamepass model, I'm sure there will be a shitload of microtransactions for the real profits.
