Honestly, I don’t get how this game broke Ubisoft. It’s not bad, but it’s also no great. They tried to not make it a classic Ubisoft open world Star Wars themed Assassin’s Creed and they mostly succeded.

Assuming it’s 768GiB, then it would be 824.6GB, not 832GB.

Probably, which means the developers (or managers) didn’t really identify the problem.

And GTA Vice City was originally planned as an expansion to GTA III, then turned into an independent game and released just a year after GTA III.

I think it suffered from being named after another game and a lot of people being confused or disappointed by it having nothing to do with Prey from 2006. It should have gotten a different name. I played it for the first time last year, can recommend.

Played the original a few weeks ago, it’s a little janky, but still fun.

I recently played using one of the new xbox controllers, I much prefer the ps5 controllers, with or without the fancy force feedback. The old 360 controllers were great compared to the playstation controllers at the time, but the new ones don’t feel good.

I take this as a comparison sometimes. Also the PS2 got five GTAs, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories were released on PS2 too. The PS3 and Xbox 360 got two GTAs, and everything after got remasters. PS5 will probably get GTA 6, so GTA skipped the PS4/Xbox One generation.

Same. At least for me part of the problem is that I got a PS5 two years after release because I couldn’t get one, I’m not going to pay scalpers.

Well, obviously all of the demos, but probably not all the games and of the released games they will probably fire most of the developers.

A bit of market research showed that interest in Nintendo shifted slightly more towards boys. 55%‐45%.

Need a source on this. The more appropriate action in those days with those numbers would’ve been to sell a blue version to boys and a pink version to girls.

The first game wasn’t bad, but it didn’t really feel like a full price title.

I keep a list in a plain text file. It has sections for each year and one section for games I’m interested in. The list used to be on paper and I’m considering going back to that.

They are in almost all open world games.

I got Borderlands 3 about a year after release for less than 5€, I can wait.

Apparently it was exclusive to China.

Yes, I can imagine that. Happens all the time

Let’s move the well known director to a new project and let someone completely unknown handle the sequels to an already established brand.

Anyway, how many people that had any actual say in the original Mass Effect still work at Bioware?

Well, someone’s paying half a billion in microtransactions in GTA Online every year.

Not to be confused with the german -fall game No Unfall.

I still don’t like it.

I would say that map size never was “most important”, at least not to the players, they’ve been complaining about huge but empty maps for years (the poster child of this, AC Odyssey was released in 2018, six years ago). It was just something devs and publishers pushed to one up each other in some kind of “bigger = better” way.

And then he dies from the awfulness of Borderlands 4 instead of cancer, I’m not sure what’s better.

Wasn’t that Ghosts?

Yeah, the digital price only goes down for sales, otherwise even years after release you’re paying full price. With discs you can buy from whatever store you want and usually prices go down a lot within a year (which you should wait anyway because games are too buggy at release).

Their publisher was bought by Embracer shortly after the release of Kingdom Come Deliverance, maybe they’re to blame here.

How is gamer defined here? I don’t have access to the full report but apparently it mentions Candy Crush, so I wonder how the statistics would look like if you removed games like that.

If it’s bland and unexciting then it fits very well into Disney Star Wars and Disney should be very happy about it being so on brand.

Sony shuts down all of their Japanese studios and redirects their efforts into developing “cinematic” experiences to appeal to western gamers

They shut down Japan Studio, that’s a name, they still have studios in Japan.

Yeah, it’s the wrong generation and has a little too much power, the closest would probably be a 3060 which was available shortly after the launch of the PS5. But it was still more than half the price of a PS5 and you need more than a GPU for a computer.

Oh, I was talking about driving with a controller.

Good game, had a lot of fun with it. It seems a lot of people didn’t like the game because the graphics got downgraded from what they showd in the first trailers. They only real complaint I have is the handling of cars is weird.

Heresy!

Deathloop.

The “quad A” game?

Not the name, the AC game mechanics. It could’ve been an even better pirate game if it had focused on its strengths and dropped the AC baggage.

The best AC is either Origins or Odyssey.

Would’ve been a really great game if it weren’t an Assassin’s Creed, but just a pirate game.

More like an open hub world and several linear levels instead of the interconnected linear levels of Fallen Order.

I don’t think the game allows you to kill Boglings, in Jedi Survivor you can pet them.
