Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

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

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

No, no, they said it's "Quadruple A", Ubisoft won't lie to US??!?

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The extra A is for all the apathy

[–] Jagermo@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I 'm waiting until it's free on Epic

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Always another asset acquisition available. I count AAAAA

I played the beta for 20 minutes and was so disappointed I immediately launched sea of thieves to recover.

It just felt like a cash grab done as cheaply as possible.

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

All they needed to do was make a Black Flag type game with more pirating stuff to do. That's it.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People forget, but Ubisoft had the same reputation 10 years ago they have today. Even 10 years ago the prediction was this game was gonna be ass. Delay delay delay, people have played Sea of Thieves to death and are onto new things, THEN Ubi drops a lacklustre beta where you can't even get out of your ship. Yup. Sounds about right.

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

People wanted more black flag and ubisoft was like: got it, let's make black flag as bad as possible

[–] Poggervania@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

AAAA gaming, folks. This is what a real AAAA-quality game looks like.

[–] dlpkl@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Give us a Black Flag remake you cowards.

Better yet, if someone just makes a Nvidia RTXRemixflexremasterDLSSqwertyuiop mod for the damn game we could drop Ubisoft altogether.

[–] WEAPONX@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

We need someone to get rid of mouse acceleration and 60 FPS lock.

[–] OrangeCorvus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

The tutorial was shit but I played the beta for 12ish hours. Had no intention of playing it but it ended up being super fun. Won't buy it, not worth the 70€ price tag. Got ubi+ for a month, should be enough. It was a pleasant surprise.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I downloaded it but then it wanted me to sign up with Ubisoft. No thanks.

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

The ONE time people wanted Ubisoft to just reskin one of their games (Black Flag) they instead chase live service money while having WAY less features than a 10 year old game.

Skull and bones frustrates me.

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

I think it was decent. I'd maybe pay 50€ for it

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Ten years of development for this?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So they really did copy Sea of Thieves. 🤔

Or is it even worse than that was on launch?

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Meh, matey is worse than I was hoping for but better than I expected
