2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

Fuck Ubisoft. Fuck major game publishers.

Do you live outside of the US and hate Ubisoft and the direction the games industry is headed towards?

Do you live in the US and have ever ‘owned’ a copy of The Crew from Ubisoft?

Visit stopkillinggames.com to help drive a dagger through their rancid hearts.

I’m not buying anything from Ubisoft. If people do that, they get exactly what they deserve.. a game from Ubisoft.

I think the last good Ubisoft game I truly loved was Beyond Good & Evil. And I am pretty sure they merely published that, but it's been a long time I could be misremembering.

Anno 1800 is a really great game by Ubisoft.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

That’s probably why development now stops. Nah, I’m being sarcastic, they did good with Anno 1800 and I can understand something new to make money with is needed.

Can't wait for BG&E 2!...

[–] dlpkl@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll just keep playing Helldivers 2 pretending I'm a Clone Commando, thanks.

[–] Renacles@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

With extreme prejudice, sir!

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Idk about you guys, but I will wait until they've patched out the game breaking bugs and system compatibility issues. And then I'll pay them 17$ for 1 month of their game service, beat the game, and cancel the sub.

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

That assumes they'll actually fix the game breaking bugs and system compatibility issues.

[–] caseofthematts@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yea, I'm not going to give them any money. Fuck'em.

Welcome to modern gaming. 🤡🌎

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

It’s completely asinine for a game to cost this much, especially since it is going to be chock full of equally asinine microtransactions and costly DLC.

The “patient games” methodology is the best way to approach all gaming these days because, odds are, the game won’t be worth the $20-30 later price point anyway.

I keep telling myself "I want an x-box" and the news keeps telling me "no you fucking don't".

It is NOT an "early access period" it is a "late access punishment" for not be willing to overpay for a game. Journalists should call it that and nothing else.

I got all the Assassin‘s Creeds (apart from Valhalla and Mirage) on sale for way less with all the extra bs… it‘s not a multiplayer game with a playerbase that could die off, so I‘ve got time to wait for a sale in 3-5 years. Who knows, maybe it‘ll even run properly by then. Buying on release is paying extra to take part in an extended early access beta.

[–] Kaiyoto@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I had half a thought of getting the game, that just made me nope.
