Assassin's Creed games of late aren't close to as bad as most people who complain about them make them out to be.
There, I said it. Yeah, they're not award winning gaming options, but I play way worse games all the time compared to them.
Shadows, as an example, has its annoyances. Swapping between Yasuke and Naoe for situational purposes, the weird focus on season changes, and an open world that has way too much that just sits there and is never utilized. It's a good game, though. I can control the challenge level by my choices. I can increase combat challenge by playing as Naoe and not using insta-kill skills. I can increase stealth challenge by playing as Yasuke and using only the bow. How I play the game is almost entirely my choice for the majority of the game. The story is good. The graphics are good. The voice acting is good if you ignore a few weirdo NPCs.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
GTA is overrated.
The best Zelda games were all from before it moved to 3D
