Doesn't the fourth A overflow and actually make it a 00F tier game?

Aw man I was kinda looking forward to this but this reminds me it's Ubisoft. Which is a shame because I'm a sucker for their open world formula.

Don't get too excited early impression say it isn't good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

No surprise there :(

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

So you get an extra A for every 2 years of development, is that how it works?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago

Quadruple the reasons not to buy it.

Big 'Comcast 10g' vibes here.

Ubisoft is consistent with being on my blocked producers list on steam.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Wow it's like almost every day I learn about a new feature Steam has lol

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Holy shit I didn't know you could do that.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Fuck yea! I've blocked Ubisoft, EA and a handful of other shoddy producers/their ilk. It's not worth even seeing their offerings these days.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Xbox store needs this feature badly. If I click on another piece of kemco shovelware I'm going to fucking lose it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

MS loves to weigh their software down with bloat, I agree they need this feature but I don't think they'll take the financial loss to make it a thing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'll wait for initial reviews to form my opinions of the game. I'll also wait for a price cut if I ever decide to get it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

You can't even do that these days. Some games are released like cyberpunk 0277, then a couple years later they're awesome. Some games release and add in bullshit later. Ubisoft would not surprise me here.

Immortal Phoenix rising was the last Ubisoft game I bought and I didn't realize it was Ubisoft at the time. I was immediately reminded why I didn't like Ubisoft. I bought it on switch, it forces an account creation and login to play local. It's on a switch, you bloody morons, if I'm on an airplane I'm not going to want to go through a damn connect to online services song and dance. It's also a single player game, so...

In the end I found a workaround. Because you can't have airplane mode enabled to play switch docked, I had to enter the game in handheld mode with airplane mode on, go through the song and dance about being unable to connect, then dock my switch and disable airplane mode. Like what the fuck? Just let me play the damn game I paid for.

Fuck Ubisoft. Terrible studio.

Their AAA games are mid so I suspect their 'quadruple-A' games are also mid. Price 'em how you want, I'll pass anyway, thanks Yves.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Leave it to Ubisoft to find new and inventive ways to fuck up. They really do lead the industry in making shitty decisions, setting a firm example for other companies in exactly what trends won't be popular. Bravo.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

What happened to the records industry? Mp3 Videogames companies so many years ago have totally overpriced values. Do you know how much is 70 for a poor or even half developed country? And the word population almost totally majority are that people .

[–] [email protected] 37 points 9 months ago

oh shit we making shit up? ARMORED CORE 6 WAS SEPTUPPLED S.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Is that the same shit company that was telling us to get used to not owning games? Why would I spend $70 to borrow something they probably won’t finish making before release?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Why would I spend $70 to borrow something they probably won’t finish making before release?

So that you can hang around and wait for the talent in the community to fix it and make it at least closer to a game worth $70

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

You think Ubisoft games will have modding? Hahahaha no, no it will flop on launch and the live service elements will die within a year

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I hate the term "Quadruple-A". The entire point of Triple-A was to be the biggest of the big. There's no cap on that size.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

What if we took the A's yeah? What if we took the A's - to eleven?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 9 months ago

Quadruple of $0 is how much they'll get from me.
