Speaking of Ubi, my friend and I reinstalled GR Breakpoint after remembering they added the option to remove the "rpg style leveling" of weapons and gear.

Which, is good, make the game more like the original. But holy poo poo, people joke about icons in Ubi games, this game is that on crack.

Menus on menus on menus. The objectives screen is so dense with pictures and branches and MULTIPLE pages. You can't even zoom out enough to see the entire story tree. I have the HUD set to minimum/dynamic and I am still inundated with tons and tons of Mission Nearby pop-ups.

It is extremely frustrating to play. The game does seemingly everything it can to jump in front of your face and distract you from whatever you are currently doing.

I bought it for the same reason and felt the exact same way. It's like the antithesis of what I like in game design. I found it borderline unplayable I can't even imagine how bad it was in loot mode. Deleted it after a few hours. And I even played a decent amount of Wildlands and didn't hate it (didn't like it a hell of a lot either).

I've bought so many Ubisoft open world games on sale over the years and hated nearly every one of them. I am such an idiot.

I bought five AC games over the years and rented a few of them, despite not enjoying a single one of them, dating al the way back to the first one. I bought AC1 at launch and thought it blew, but that didn't stop me from spending the next decade seeing them on sale for $15 2 months after launch and going "durr maybe I'll like it this time goons said it's fun now" and then I'm just like "yup still sucks" and delete it after a really boring 2-8 hours.

I liked playing Breakpoint in "immersive mode" but I agree the menus are dogshit. It's trying too hard to give you a ton of (often optional) information in formats that use a lot of screen space instead of eg. just having a list of codex entries or a simple (possibly tiered) list of available missions.

The other part that's completely ridiculous is that you can't filter the icons on the world map so every collectible and mission you find information on will get added to the map. And there are a lot of weapon attachments and lore entries to find.

I also like how you can spoil some of the plot by going near the 2nd/3rd campaign mission starting points while still working through the original plot. Because the game just dumps the season (?) 2 and 3 missions on your map too, and trigger cutscenes for them when you go near.

Not sure why you'd want to considering it's already a failure even accounting for how few people are available to buy a PS5 game in the first place.

Wait Sony paid for timed exclusivity for two different failed live service brawler games with glowing energy highlights on high-fantasy armor themed after ancient deities? Is that someones fetish at Sony?

It's because Denis Dyack's Too Human has now been retrospectively appraised as an all time great by game designers
