Great evil + great evil + smaller evil = ?

Absolute Evil.

And the fact that they are a multi squillion dollar company suggests they know what the fuck.

Did this guy watch Mythic Quest or something…?

This is shit that Brad would say…

…wait it goes deeper… doesn’t Ubisoft have some type of partnership with AppleTV for this show too…?

It’s produced by Ubisoft Studios

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Ohhh that makes sense

A more accurate description of the situation is that a broken clock is right twice a day as he validly complains about racists sending hate to his employees.

There was a point I tried to switch to Epic, just to try it out - it is so unbelievably slow & oddly hard to find and organize my own games. They NEED to start putting $$ into the UI otherwise all those free games are for nothing if idetest opening the client itself.

Is it any good gameplay wise?

rickyrigatoni,

The people I personally know say it’s great but feels like a boss rush with very short paths to boss rooms.

AWistfulNihilist, (edited )

It’s decent, extremely boss heavy, very linear. But the story is well done and it looks and feels good to play. If you’ve recently played Elden Ring tho, the terrain is going to feel like prison bars to you, very little exploration despite looking like you should be able to explore.

If you aren’t into souls like type games, wait for a sale. Reviews critical about the gameplay are mostly right.

UprisingVoltage,

It’s a good action with some souls mechanics (not a soulslike though), crazy good graphics, bosses and enemy variety. Should also be decently optimized for pc

Plot wise is basically a fan sequel of Journey to the west. If you aren’t familiar with that don’t expect to understand shit about what’s going on.

The only real tangible issue is mediocre map design (very simplistic and linear) and (some say) some balancing issues.

In short, if you enjoy 3d actions and/or souls you’ll probably have you money’s worth.

SplashJackson,

I liked Journey to the West, it was really funny for a thousand-plus-year-old book, but didn’t they all die at the end? Or rather, ascend to Buddhahood?

AWistfulNihilist,

The games opening cut scene addresses this, was pretty good

UprisingVoltage,

Yeah. The game’s incipit is (spoilers ??? Literally the first five minutes of the game) >!Wukong just wants to chill on his mountains, but the other gods fear him and kick his ass. Decades, centuries or maybe millennia has passed, and now you, a monke from his village (arguably his reincarnation), are tasked with finding a way to reawaken him!<

SplashJackson,

Ah yeah I remember he came from a monkey tree, like the song! Or perhaps it was a mountain

I get that you should cultivate the audience you want to play your game, but Ubisoft can’t win for losing. This should have gone through 20 publicists. I expect that mong Hero Hei to leap on this shit.

Ubisoft needs a complete management overhaul.

They don’t have a chance. Steam and gog not only don’t suck, they’re actually nice to use.

Using Junk Store on my Steam Deck (and redeeming free games on the mobile website) to completely avoid the Epic Launcher 😎

smeg,

Please tell me more about this Junk Store, I’d been using Heroic for Epic games but it’s been a bit dodgy recently

june,
@june@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Sure, it’s a plugin through Decky. It allows you to log in to Epic and it displays your library in its separate window, allowing you to install them as Non-Steam Games. It’s quite easy

smeg,

I’ve not used Decky before, it always seemed like one of those things that needed constant tinkering. Is it still a bit bleeding edge or has it reached the “it just works” stage yet?

june,
@june@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Decky itself is fine, some plugins are buggy. If you install it and Junk-Store, you should be fine with no problems. I run like a dozen plugins and I only ever had problems with the UI customization ones: css, and animation changer. I uninstalled those and it’s all passive now.

I’ve only had problems with one game from Epic. The rest worked just fine with no tweaks

smeg,

Cheers, I’ll give it a go if Heroic is still not working the next time I try to use it

Annoyed_Crabby, do games w Google discussed teaming up with Tencent to buy Epic Games

Why is everyone buying each other lately???

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Corporations see others getting profit as competition, and it makes sense to consolidate profits so “Everyone wins” (everyone excluding the consumer)

kakes,

Weakening of antitrust regulations.

Nobody is stopping them

WalrusDragonOnABike,

One school of thoughts is companies go through eras of profiting from inflation and eras of profiting from M&As. Guess an uptick in M&A would suggest they're no longer increasing profits from inflation?

Zorque,

Lately? You haven't been paying attention.

I like it, cheaper than Netflix used to be, and I use it for more hours / month. Rn I’m using it to play starfield.

Yeah, and Lies of P just released, too. I get more than my money’s worth out of it. Especially with cloud gaming on the steam deck.

I will wait until they fixed some issues DF mentioned before I’ll buy it. (also currently busy with other games.)

Anyone not using Eneba to get three month Xbox live gold cards is missing out. Converts to 50 days of gamepass for less than 9 dollars.
