one-armed dwarf Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Anyone think the village settlement thing sounds a bit like Dutch's camp in Red Dead. Getting those kind of vibes. I haven't watched any footage of this but I think it's just CG anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it can't be understated quite how deceptive Watch underscore Dogs reveal was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 The division reveal was truly terrible. Those 4 pretending to play, whooping and making awful comments. Then they did it again with 2 iirc although at least it was gameplay even if not live. Kings might be a stretch tho. It’s pretty much tho norm for a lot of devs now. I hate it but it works out fine/looks good on websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyKurosaki Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I never feel the need to go for expensive Collectors Editions. Even more so when it’s of a character we know absolutely nothing about, and could turn out to be a right bell-end, or completely forgettable. No doubt the game will be riddled with the same piss-taking micro transactions that Odyssey was (XP Boost, Money boost). Although people argue “you don’t have to buy them”, the levelling up is deliberately made into a grind to encourage it. But, Odyssey was at its heart a bloody good game. One of my favourite of this generation for sure. So despite Ubisofts typically shit business practices, this should still be fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I was just posting the CE because it's the only "clear" image of the female character so far. 7 hours ago, AndyKurosaki said: No doubt the game will be riddled with the same piss-taking micro transactions that Odyssey was (XP Boost, Money boost).

With the exception of the Legendary Beast quest, which was supposed to carry on throughout your playthrough, I never came across something in Odyssey that was out of my reach in terms of levels and demanded that I grind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, the levelling up was done the way it was in Odyssey so you were encouraged to go off and explore the world doing side quests, finding collectibles and a whole smorgasbord of other things rather than just rigidly sticking to the main questline. Odyssey is an RPG, RPGs typically have a multitude of side quests and activities to do. Do some of them from time to time and you’ll have no problems with ‘grinding’.

I said it’s confirmed as a cross-gen release, the crossbuy is not confirmed, just heavily rumoured They haven’t yet @Nag just heavily rumoured. They did it with the PSV/PS3 years back so I’m sure if Microsoft are doing it they’ll be doing it too. I do expect it’ll be up to the publisher to decide whether they want to do it though, I can’t see Activision or EA wanting to do it for CoD and FIFA.

AndyKurosaki Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Dear Ubisoft. If your gameplay trailer doesn’t show any gameplay, it’s not a gameplay trailer. Really not that complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikzilla Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Jim Sterlong made one of his "I only have 2 minutes worth of opinion so I'll just repeat myself 5 times" videos comaonjng about this too. The thing I find funny (and a bit unfair) is the focus on Ubisoft not showing gameplay when it was the majority of the games on show during the showcase that didn't show gameplay, despite us being told otherwise. This just feels a bit like a Ubisoft witch hunt. And this is coming from someone who hasn't bought a Ubisoft game in around a decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
