@themightyant I agree with everything you said … as much as it hurts to say it please delay the shadow drop til next weekend so not to detract. The release calendar must be packed as they try to release everything before Sept…
I have been dipping in and out of games this week … loving South of Midnight, Blue Prince and Tempopo. Did not really like Crime Scene cleaner for some reason … have a fun weekend y’all
What a month! Some surprises in there with Dredge but why doesn’t Ubisoft just join Gamepass? This slow burn of their games just undermines value of their own service…
I never really gave any of these games any attention… might try Have a nice Death and the rewinder again but not sure if they are worthy of a second try…
Down to one achievement to go for HH but don’t know if I will make it… I can only score this game a 7 mostly based on its great visual style but its second half is a slow crawl of getting to the next cut scene….
It’s Harold Halibut as I have just 5 achievements to go… also a little bit of Blue Prince on the side… BP is definitely the evolution of the Escape Room type of game… enjoying the cozy pace as I am only timed so far by my next move….
The June showcase is really the best show for the year. Now that most games will also be on PS and Switch the actual audience may be the biggest ever. This is the Super Bowl of gaming for me….
So far Avowed and Atomfall but haven’t really played them… try to finish Harold Halibut and then into blue Prince then Atomfall and Avowed … just too much
This game feels like it will not get as much love being sandwiched between Avowed , Atomfall, SOM, Blue prince and Doom… at least in my hierarchy of playing time….
Looks like a list of fillers as only Blue Prince and South of Midnight are new and shiny for me. Commandos and descenders new are new but not sure they appeal
Harold Halibut is great if you like the point and click genre… which I do. So I feel like I’m about 2/3 done so I will make a final push. Botany Manor was so fun that I actually completed awhile back …
Any game developer should realistically schedule into that slot as GTA6 will slide later into the year or into 2026… trying to time it otherwise is just a Vegas level gamble… R* doesn’t have to announce the delay as the hype continues if they keep quiet
I just want Ubisoft to give in and put all their catalog on Gamepass… it would mean my one person boycott worked and it really is the most sensible idea…
This was already my most hyped GamePass game but just reading the reviews I am confused to what actually is the game …. But that makes it even more interesting…
I think like others, the best option is to play all the other AC titles until this one gets patched for series S and gets the inevitable discount. Sound s like Ubisoft is trying to boost engagement to boost its value before the breaking apart of the company… look at us we got X amount of subscribers….
Hope it’s not like Pokémon go which you were training an AI for another purpose entirely. Would hate all our data being used for military training purposes….
