I'm sure most people know this but the remakes of the original MW and MW2 have the graphics updated for them to look like modern games. I always thought they were just remasters until I played them. They hold up too.

The first one is the best one

The second I just never liked that much, and the ending sucked.

The third was pretty good, although despite having a good story the whole 'take over the town' stuff gets kind of repetitive.

Mafia 1 & 2 are good, I tried so hard to get into 3 but after a good intro it devolves into open world ubisoft poo poo. It felt like they ran out of money and tried to pad the game. Shame, because the setting and story seemed cool.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

I was there when MW 2007 was new. The campaign was incredible and the XP multiplayer progression was totally new. MW2 in 2009 took everything and ramped it up all the way, which is why it’s STILL the best multiplayer, followed by BLOPS2.

I missed the boat on MW1 and MW2 so BLOPS 1 is my personal favorite CoD. Most memorable campaign in the series to me and the multiplayer was solid. I miss playing multiplayer with goons in it too.

By the time MW3 and BLOPS 2 came out, they hosed with the lag compensation to the point where they weren't fun anymore. I sold my copy of BLOPS 2 a few months after launch, bought BF3, and haven't really touched CoD since.

Mafia 2 owns but opening it with a WW2 battle was certainly a choice.

Takes about 3-4 hours to beat if you are a fan of games that do what they intend and not really waste your time. Not too hard, only one puzzle really stumped me and it's one I had "solved" but couldn't figure out why the solution wasn't working. Very mild spoiler hint if you get stuck: rusty pig.

4/5 gamepass delivers.

Though Black Ops 1 is a very close second for me especially with the dlc taken into account

I'd put them at the same level. MW2 has some crazy fun poo poo that Blops doesn't but then Blops has less bullshit and I love the mix of classic, experimental and modern weapons and the setting so they even out for me.

Still, my ranking of CoD MP would be:

1st: CoD and United Offensive
2nd: MW2/Blops1
3rd: CoD2/CoD4/Blops2

Different topic: Far Cry 3 Xbox360 is fps boosted to 60fps so it's 720p/60 while Far Cry 3 Classic is 1440p/30. I don't get why FC3 Classic didn't go for 60fps but hey... I rather play the 360 release even if it has lower resolution.

I don't know how to explain but I'll try: it's not on my top 3 because it's the one I played the least on my favourite list but I recently revisited all of them and its gameplay aged better. So, if I had to remake the ranking with current experiences, it'd be easily in my top 2. Multiplayer that is, campaign is great but I'll always have a soft spot for the OG (and United Offensive) and CoD4.

I'm not too familiar with the xbox version, but is there anything to indicate Outlaws will be available on the Ubisoft+ Premium for xbox? It does say it can have brand new games.

Does Ubisoft think most people will be too dumb to cancel their subscription after the month it takes to finish the game rather than spend the equivalent of 8 months on the ultimate edition upfront? Because they're probably right.

Botany Manor was a really solid little jaunt and I'm glad it exists. Only takes a handful of hours to beat and it's complex enough to make you feel clever but not so complex that it leaves you banging your head against the wall. It has heart, too, with a nice little background motivator that keeps you wanting to get poo poo figured out.

Oh wow, this game has been on my Steam wishlist for quite some time but there was always some other game to play instead.

Now that it's announced for consoles I'll probably buy it on Xbox instead, this is awesome news.

So you work on a product for 3-6 years

Then you sell it to me for either 130 credits, or 18? And somehow you’d rather sell me on the 18 dollar version? Is that why Ubisoft is so successful?

Edit: seriously how does this work

They hope 90% of people subscribe and 10% buy? And they make more money that way? I’m not good at the business-ing

They hope people subscribe to it and stay subscribed because they want to (lol) or forget for months and months and collect a bunch of subscription revenue from idiots (90% of the people who do that)
