JohnDClay, do games w China announced new laws to limit microtransactions, affecting major corporations like Tencent.

There’s so much addiction and gambling engineered into micro transactions, it’s crazy. I’m glad China is regulating it.

God, I hope they do that here. Would clear the appstores and other stores of 90% of shovelware overnight.

Schaedelbach, do games w Assassin's Creed Mirage is Now One of the Lowest-Rated Games in the Series

The rating is 77. 77 is the lowest rating a game in the main series of Assassins Creed has received. This means the other games have 78 or up. How in the world is this considered bad? For an entire fucking franchise? Not a fan of the series or anything but I just think it’s ridiculous how this is an actual headline! Don’t the journalists have nothing else to report on regarding video games and the industry? Layoffs? Toxic people and business practices? Microtransactions?

Nah, instead they go: “pretty good (but not great) game is slightly less good than other pretty good (but not great) games in an overall pretty good (but not great) franchise.” Ugh!

AnonTwo,

To be fair, just because one article exists doesn't mean other articles can't exist. Not every article has to be of equal importance.

Cycloprolene,

In case you haven’t noticed, for the last 30 years any garbage can gets >70 rating.

coffinwood,

The headline says it’s the lowest-rated game in the series, not that Mirage is a bad game. The article bases itself on a single data point, which leaves a lot of room for interpreting. Which the author does a little.

But it’s nowhere mentioned or claimed that Mirage is a badly-reviewed game or doesn’t sell well. It’s just the lowest entry so far. And that’s what everybody should take away from that headline, followed by ignoring the hollow clickbaity article altogether.

BruceTwarzen,

I watched a review video that was praising everything in this game. "Finally another good AC." "The vombat is fun and challenging." "Looks fantastic on the new engine."
Then i watched just some guy playing it and it honestly looks janky as hell. He always got stuck while parkouring, the parkour itself seems like the same press one button to do parkour, but this time it's really jank. There is no weapon variety at all. The combat looks really bad, it looks like the least fun combat in all these kind of games. The world looks really good, but the people in the world the jank ass AI and NPC doing weird shit while looking pretty Bethesda like. I haven't played it, but how this got a 77 or anything above a 5/10 is beyond me.

Me : AC Valhalla is worst AC game…

Ubisoft : Just wait…

Mojojojo1993,

Why no love for Valhalla?

I’m playing out of sync. I did Valhalla Odyssey and now I’m playing through origin. I enjoyed a lot of Valhalla. I can see how they tweaked and polished from origins. I think I preferred the scenery in Odyssey and maybe the story and people. Valhalla had best fighting and slo mo. Graphics were outstanding and voice acting was pristine by Valhalla.

coffinwood,

Valhalla is a nice action game but it’s no AC game. Especially the stealth part and name-sake Assassination gameplay take up too little space. And the skill tree they copied from PoE is just ridiculously overloaded - symptomatic for Ubisoft‘s approach to the whole game: it’s so convoluted.

I really enjoyed Valhalla but as an AC entry it disappoints.

Good, Ubisoft lost the way since *Revelations.

*I do think AC3 is awesome, aside from the ending of course.

Sinnz,

AC3 had too much of that boat gameplay. Worst thing about the game imo.

Mojojojo1993,

Absolutely disagree. Literally added “boat game” on every sequel. People clearly enjoyed that. I know I did. Will get a sea shanty going

JJROKCZ, do games w Assassin's Creed Mirage is Now One of the Lowest-Rated Games in the Series

From what I saw watching a few streams it seemed fine, closer to the original games but still having that slight off feeling of modern Ubisoft games. Seems like a good game on sale for $30

hmm why tho? /j

If they just rerelease it with just new design yeah it will drop in ratings

BudgetBandit, do games w Grand Theft Auto 6 is Poised to Break a Huge Rockstar Tradition | Game Rant

Has „milking the same game for over ten years“ become a tradition by now?

Grass,

Haha my first thought too.

FrankTheHealer, do games w Total War May Want to Take the Dungeons and Dragons Universe for a Spin

I would prefer Total War: Rome 3 since we are about 20 years since the original.

Also maybe using LOTR universe instead. Or even 40k?

Cleverdawny,

LOTR would be better. But remember, they have separate teams for historical and fantasy TW. So yeah, maybe Medieval or Empire II will happen still. Probably too early for Rome III because II is still new enough to still be worth playing compared to the most recent games.

GenericBob,

They’ve already done 40k But id agree with LOTR I’m not sure how they think dnd fits with large scale battles, and politics. But id also be lying if I said I wouldn’t play it.

Edit: Oh shit maybe it’s Warhammer fantasy that they’ve done

TauriWarrior,

They did 3 games of fantasy, sadly not 40k

Torvum, do games w Total War May Want to Take the Dungeons and Dragons Universe for a Spin

This Creative Assembly is a dogshit remnant of the past. Until they stop treating their developers like gig workers and stop rising prices under the lie that they’re losing money (record profits once again), I don’t want shit they make. WH3 has been abysmal so far

OutlierBlue, do games w Total War May Want to Take the Dungeons and Dragons Universe for a Spin

DragonLance War of the Lance would be cool

soda3x, do games w Total War May Want to Take the Dungeons and Dragons Universe for a Spin

I want LOTR total war so bad

DaCrazyJamez, do games w Total War May Want to Take the Dungeons and Dragons Universe for a Spin

I feel like DnD is really geard toward small group combat…i feel like epic battles of armies would feel very out of place in the forgotten realms

DelvianSeek,

Ok, maybe not Faerun, but just spitballing here - Total War: Blood War. Massive armies of devils vs demons, with yugoloth mercenary forces for hire, spread across the battlefields of the lower planes. Could tie in nicely with a re-release of Planescape as well…

Do WC3-style hero-driven RTS. Somebody needs to bring back Warlords Battlecry but with D&D branding.

Age of signage is perfect for this. Maybe do a different rule set instead of dnd, but could be awesome

qwamqwamqwam, do gaming w Apex Legends Season 18: Revenant Reborn's New Gameplay Abilities Explained

I haven’t paid any attention to Apex since Catalyst. Could someone catch me up to speed on why Revenant needed such a huge rework? His kit always seemed quite situational but still usable.
