It was good when all Ubisoft games were quarantined to their own launcher

It was very bold of Ubisoft to assume their characters had enough appeal to make a crossover Netflix show.

Speaking of Ubi, skull and bones has been delayed again, from early in fiscal 2024 to early in calendar 2024 (fiscal 2024 starts in 2023)

They also delayed Star Wars Outlaws (now April at the earliest)

how close is skull and bones to a full duke nukem forever?

e: skull and bones was originally intended as a DLC for assassin's creed: black flag

7 mainline assassin's creed games have released since then

It was reportedly started in 2013 and publicly revealed in 2017, so we're very near its 10th anniversary. a few more years to go to catch up with the Duke

funnily enough, it's not even the ubisoft game with the longest development time (that's beyond good and evil 2, which has not officially been canceled even though it's very obviously dead and stripped for parts by now)

I thought it was very good for a Souls-like. The world and Umbral mechanics are fantastic, the level design possibly eclipses FROM, I greatly prefer the parry system to how FROM does it, there's a lot of really cool weapons, spells and armor and it doesn't fall apart at the end like a lot of Souls titles do or throw a bunch of overtuned enemies at you. It also just does a lot of neat things that I liked.

It does have some noticeable pain points though. All weapons in a category share the same moveset and are only differentiated by stats, there's only one weapon that I could see that had a special effect which is a big step down from Elden Ring. I had a LOT of crashes during a particular boss fight that summoned a lot of ground effects as well as quite a lot of crashs in general (but it loads up fast so not too big a deal). The way you need Radiance/Inferno/Both stats to read lore on items is a pretty terrible decision that arbitrarily fucks Str/Dex builds. You unlock special classes by beating each ending but they're thematically linked to that ending so there's not really a reason to ever use them. Also, two of the endings lack a satisfying final boss.

yeah i have been playing through as a high Inferno and Radiance spellcaster so i've just stuck with the same two inferno-scaling axes i got at the start of the game and i've never run into those issues. i've only had the game crash a couple of times in the 40 hours ive played and it runs well.

I went through most of the game as a Dex dual-wield but wanted to switch things up and be able to read lore so I switched to Radiance and grabbed the lightsaber and a shield for the last third of the game. I like that sword and board swings fast enough that it's almost comparable to dual-wielding, its been ages since I've used a shield in these kind of games. The lightsaber is super good too with how ridiculously long it is.

I'm thinking of running through again as Umbral build but it doesn't seem as easy to speed through like you can Souls games so I'll probably come back to do that at some point.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I LOVE that you always have a dedicated ranged option. It's a fantastic idea that solves problems with lacking ranged options in some souls games and soulslikes.

there's SO many ranged options. for those who haven't played, your ammunition items basically function more like spells do, you have an ammo bar and you can equip different kinds of ammo (poison arrows, radiant arrows etc) and they use up your ammo bar like a mana bar. you don't have to buy or collect arrows, you can consume ammo pouches to refill and it refills when you rest. there's also lots of different throwables like grenades, paper talismans, javelins, hand axes, a weird ghost-bug (?)

if i play through again as a non-spellcaster i definitely want to try throwing as much poo poo as i can
