@Sveakungen From your article, it literally says supported titles from the Playstation Plus library. What Xbox is talking about is any purchased game from your main library would be accessible via cloud streaming.
@Lup You sure can and that's why Ubisoft and EA haven't completely collapsed because there will also be blind followers of major companies who don't use their critical thinking abilities
@TakeItEasy They are but unlike 3 Spiderman games in 5 years, or a God of War Sequel that is barely a bump up from it's last title they are trying to set the gears in motion to have meaningful exclusive titles.
Everyone's friendly reminder that Skull and Bones will be on Ubisoft+ day one. Please don't give Ubisoft $70+ dollars of your hard earned money. Get one month of Ubisoft+ if in 30 days you still give a crud about this game promise you Ubisoft will offer the game for $30 or less
@Titntin Their past several games, Skull and Bones, Avatar and Assassin's Creed Mirage all felt like half efforts to me from one of the biggest game studios on Earth. I don't understand why they can't make a game recently that has blown my socks off. For as much as the moment to moment gameplay may be repetitive and uninspired Suicide Squad's visuals and design feel leagues better than anything Ubisoft has done recently.
Your friendly reminder that you can pay $18 for a single month of Ubisoft+ and play the latest Ubisoft half effort instead of paying $70+ to find this out.
I played the open beta and for a game that has been delayed as much as it has it needs to do better. If I was Ubisoft I would release this mess as In Progress Beta for free. Do it's silly season passes and content additions and then later sell it as a complete package. Also am I the only one who thinks this looks not leaps better than Assassin's Creed 4?
@tho_mi I can afford gamepass each and every month. It has never bothered me, especially for the value. Buying even one game at full price day one can pay for gamepass for around 3 months
@UndyingInsurgent95 Gamepass is what stops you from jumping ship to the PS5. Sony does not have a good 1st party day one Gamepass equivalent. So you can go to PS5 but you are getting a weaker system with no gamepass, so you would have to pay $70 for a game like Redfall to see if it sucks or not.
I have always said that Microsoft should allow their games on the Playstation systems. However I would ramp up advertising about how every year you can buy Call of Duty on the PS5 for $70 or get gamepass on the Xbox or PC and it's included in the low monthly cost.
@Balrog_88 We don't know until next week, but maybe Microsoft has scored a deal with Sony that if we give them Starfield they will give us Spiderman Remastered?
I personally think all three big players should intermingle games. The games should be a timed exclusive to their respective systems for even a year, and then come out on the other systems if possible.
@Titntin Making the same thing over and over doesn't excite me. I wish a truly creative mind would step out of their comfort zone and show me something new they can think up. So as much as I want a new Bioshock game I also feel bad that in the span of the Xbox 360 - Xbox Series X the only thing he can come up with is Bioshock and Bioshock like games.
This was from a couple months ago and this isn't out of the normal. Physical games are a niche, digital sales and services have completely murdered them. Blockbuster couldn't compete against Netflix and soon physical game sales will fail too.
@Kaloudz I'm almost certain you work for Ubisoft. You find no faults in modern Ubisoft games and honestly think this game will be some new revolution to ninja games. My expectations are very low so if it is fun I'll be pleasantly surprised
@Kaloudz If they would have done a Japanese setting years ago it would have felt fresh but so many people have made this exact game that they will have to really pull out all the stops or they will get immediately compared to Ghost of Toshima
Having played the closed beta, this game is every part as awful as it looks. The story is fairly interesting and there are some neat moments to have but overall the gameplay is worse than the Avengers
@Kaloudz I feel you are unaware that modern video games can and have received patches. Yes it launched in a really rough state but it has been completely patched up and is one of the most impressive Assassin Creed games. It's very inexpensive and 100% worth giving a look now
@Kaloudz Really the only flaw Valhalla had for me was its immense padding and they called it AC when you were as far removed from an Assassin as possible
@Kaloudz I don't know which Ubisoft games you've been playing but in the past decade all their games have been mid at best. The only recent game with any merit is Fenyx Rising
@Pimpernel The fact you said you played Minecraft as a kid means you haven't seen and appreciated videos games since the beginning you started when graphics were already good. As someone who grew up with the original Nintendo Entertainment System I can appreciate games for a whole lot more than graphics.
@NoLifeDGenerate To further your point, PC has been virtually all digital for years and you don't see big horror stories of them losing their vast collections. Just like movies and music before it games will be all digital too, it just makes sense.

Premium currency

Sure sounds like a live service game
