It kinda bothers me that they didn’t at least go all in with switching up the story.
At this point the whole “assassin’s creed” part kinda holds the narrative and story back, I think they should just drop it entirely and have each game be its own thing.
I loved the assassin thing when I was 12, but it’s kinda cringe now.
Black flag was good, everything after has disappointed me in one way or another.
Assassins creed has been consistently disappointing me since Black Flag.
AC2 used to be my favourite game and the modern titles are unrecognisable. They’re all just a bunch of generic, drawn out, mass appeal, play it safe bollocks.
Can’t see this doing well, who’s gonna want to host it and pay the bandwidth and storage costs?
I know people would be willing to do that for a YT alternative, but I don’t think there’s many people who want to shell out so some kid can post their cringe dance video.
Also, who tf gonna use it? I’d imagine Tik Tok users are the social media group that cares the least about the fediverse, open source, and privacy…
Not gonna lie, really couldn’t get through 2 minutes of the video.
Just so much snobbery in the video, sounds like a TotalBiscuit wannabe but with shit takes and trying to cram fancy words in.
I’m not a fan of this remaster/remake phase in media, but remaking a 23 year old game like this is valid imo.
I’ve also heard great things about this remake and have played some great remakes as well, so this is just hating for the sake of it imo.
Is this post what finally gets me to buy a steam deck 🤔
Not in this case, I found a recent thread where people posted a side by side of an old product with the new one.
The cotton/polyester split used to be 75/25, now it’s 55/45…
Seems like Bethesda and Ubisoft have kinda the same problem.
Once upon a time they innovated and released games that set a new level for the industry. Then they kinda boiled that down to a formula and just focused on making it bigger, missing the point of what made the games popular and what people liked them for.
They also managed to lose the fine details and parts that people liked in their quest to just make the games as big as possible.
People didn’t like Skyrim and the early AC games because they were perfect, they liked them because they were the best we had at the time and there was also a lot of care put into them.
FromSoft could’ve fallen down that rabbit hole as well, but they keep changing things up in their soulslike games.
Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, each of those games are “soulslike” but also have fundamental changes that make them a unique experience.
*bonk*
It’s true tho
*self bonk*
Annapurna claims they didn’t have enough time to collect developer contact information to alert them sooner
I mean, that’s just utter BS. In two weeks you couldn’t find a phone number or email address for your customers??
Sounds like a shit show of a company and the previous employees made the right move.
Uhh, what kinda dispute causes an entire staff to quit??
Can’t see any reason mentioned in the article other than a disagreement with the owner.
Just seems crazy that they’ve let such a successful team walk away, when it sounds like the team were willing to find a way forward…
The only remotely interesting character in Romulus.
Music is mixed that way, but spatial then takes a hammer to that concept.
It takes away the single interwoven sound and imo sounds like different tracks being played on opposite sides of the room.
I usually try the atmos mix for an album if it’s available on tidal, and usually all it ever does is remove the punch from songs.
Lysergic acid diethylamide doesn’t fix a bad mix.
You can still hear all the separate instruments surrounding you on a good regular mix, all the spatial does is break the interwoven sound.
I hate the “spatial” mixes.
Sometimes they’re done really well, but most of the time it’s just putting different parts of the song in different areas and makes it sound “diluted”.
Like, the guitar is in front of you, then the bass is behind and to the left… why??
Shutdown within two weeks of release.
Never broke 1000 concurrent users on steam.
Estimated $100 million budget.
oof.
Yeah, I can definitely still go for some shonen, but the younger side of it (like boku no hero) is difficult when it’s focused on the younger side of high school.
HunterxHunter was my favourite show for a long time, I’ve been thinking of doing a rewatch but dread the idea that it’s going to fall flat…
Yeah, I do wonder about giving that another go.
