Sony's not alone in loving with exchange rates, what the absolute gently caress is this standard edition pricing?

No other game single player game I've tried to play has refused to work unless I gave them an email address and made an account and password with their company. Stop acting like this isn't ridiculous and stupid because it is.

You must pay for the game with your email.

And now the game showed up on Amazon Canada for $69.99cad. Sorry, Series S owners.

I have no clue what is happening in Immortality but it's kind of neat so far. Never played a game like this before.

Immortals Fenyx stinks on ice. I gave it a try because of the "it's not like assasins creed, trust me it's a good ubisoft game" narrative . This is Breath of the Wild lite + assasins creed for zoomers who love twitch. rear end! The horrible poo poo ubisoft UI and HUD looks like a literal reskin and font change from all their other games and probably is.

Look how terrible this presentation is. I can't stand it.

The character art is also really uninspired. Just a flat effort all around (which as Ubisoft has proven, gamers will eat up time and time again).

Not Assassin's Creed is the exact opposite of what I want from a UBISoft fantasy game. I want Assassin's Creed Origin/Odyssey, but in a fantasy setting with magic.

Immortality is actually really loving cool. Only an hour in and I'm loving this. This thing has layers. I could definitely see someone completely bouncing off of this though.

Even better would actually be cyberpunk setting Assassin's Creed, but UBISoft is ran by cowards.

It has so many QoL improvements over its predecessors, but the open world creates new challenges that make it very easy to run into a wall and not realize there are other avenues you should pursue.

This is all relieved once you can use the bird farm shortcut to generate cash, but even then I sometimes feel like I’m not nearly powerful enough and it takes effort to figure out where to go instead.

All that spoonfeeding from Ubisoft and others has really softened my gamer heart.

I think part of the reason I hate those games so much is you can see the seed of an actual good idea there but it just doesn't ever get used

I'm pretty certain you can disable any parts of the HUD you don't like.

I'm not sure where Immortality is going or if it'll stick the landing but it's gotten an verbal reaction out of me twice when I made certain discoveries.

Also it is very NSFW.

Am I dumb or are you just not able to buy the Magic the Gathering Xbox 360 games on disc or through the Xbox store? It seems like no options to buy exist but they are backwards compatible on the series x

I always wear my wedding ring. It's my trademark.

Creating an account for a Ubisoft game usually comes with a free hat or other piece of clothing so it's totally worth it!

I'm still playing Shadowrun Returns, game I hadn't heard about before this trilogy came to game pass and I really like it a LOT! I like that it's heavy on story and less focused on combat. Apparently the first one isn't even the best one so I'm in for some good times.

This is a genre I wouldn't have given a second look if it wasn't on game pass, so I'm glad to discover new types of games like this. Expanding my gaming horizons.

Every ps5 3rd party exclusive game deal sony made has been incredibly half baked and a step down from the previous game from the studio.
Deathloop and ghostwire could have both been way better its a shame

Deathloop is really bad. I’m a big Arkane fan and I found it mega disappointing. The dialogue is insufferable and the whole thing feels super disjointed.
