Mostly because I despise Ubisoft and love to see them fail, but also because I hate stupid hacker "fight the power maaaan" stories and I want them to do poorly so people stop making games/movies/shows about them. Is this a reasonable response? Of course not. But I think I'm allowed to have one or two things I'm not reasonable about. Especially since my unreasonableness takes the form of wanting a video game company to go out of business and not burning down my own neighborho...
I'm hoping it fails horribly so this series can die.
The whole Ezio trilogy was the pinnacle of the series for me. I stuck with 3 because I liked the setting and I thought I'd actually be getting a conclusion to the story I'd been playing for five years, but I stopped halfway through Black Flag when I couldn't stand the awful writing and characters anymore. I haven't touched an AC game since.
How anyone can still like this series baffles me. It's just a never ending parade of mediocre-at-best history primers, filled with revisionist history and overdone conspiracy storylines.
Nothing against the game itself, but you know the only reason Polygon is rating it so high is because you play as a black chick.
Better not. Killing off main characters is fucking lame.
If you have a 50+ hour long game and the character's personalities only come through in the DLC then you've got a problem.
No mod support, though. I'm not usually the kind of person to whine about no mods on consoles, but the game is pretty boring and stale without the numerous player fixes and additions that have come out over the years.
A little long for a stealth game. I hope it doesn't start to drag in the second half.
And The Witcher 3 did it by limiting where you could go based on your level. This article makes it seem like Andromeda wants you to be able to go anywhere, anytime you want, like Elder Scrolls, and that makes it almost impossible to tell a good, detailed, involved story.
No shit it's hard building a narrative around an open world game. Narratives require structure, anyone who's read a book can tell you this. I have no idea why this concept seems to surprise them.
Oh my god, can both consoles just release tomorrow so I don't have to wade through fifty of these articles every week?
I think we've had enough ambitious space MMOs fail to deliver. Definitely passing on this one.
If I was a bit more cynical and if Sony had a bit less goodwill stocked up this gen I'd be wondering when mods would start showing up only on the PS4 Pro. From what Bethesda said though, it sounds like Sony wanted to be able to censor any mods they didn't agree with. Good on Bethesda for not giving in.
Dumb clickbait premise. Consumer opinion is the driving force behind any free market. If what people thought didn't matter, you'd be able to buy HDDVDs right next to Blu-Rays and Assassin's Creed 2 would have been a carbon copy of Assassin's Creed 1, among other things. People buy what they think is the best option, and people who make products try to match their product to what they think people want. It's basic economics. Just like giving your article a controversial tit...
Considering all the people who have bought an Xbox One S so far, I'd say that's not even remotely true.
No. I have too much self respect.
Her face looks awful in the PS4 picture though.
A full length, VR Freespace game would be amazing. As long as it comes to console VR because PC VR is pretty much dead.
A much needed departure. After 5 games, the formula was beyond stale, and Kratos as a shouty angry man was beyond intolerable. I'm very interested in seeing where they go with his character.
