Ubisoft tried to justify its toying with politics, and well, it's a bit silly. Should the company just take a stance, or continue to sit this debate out?
That's great news. Hopefully the Coalition can smooth some of those edges from the last Avowed reveal.
Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you. I was ok with it and hoping to actually play it sometime soon. Now it's like 99% chance it's delayed.
Edit: effing graphics whores
Apparently the latest build looks way better graphically. This rumor from Jez Cordin (who's credible) pretty much confirms it.
Interested in seeing more on Avowed in a few weeks.
I liked the games unique artstyle when It was revealed. I hope they're not making the migration based on criticism. It's only a rumor anyways
This was the only game I was jealous of, but It's a wait and see game now. Plus, I can wait until they release it on PSN.
In case you were curious, a Steam account transfer via will is not permitted according to an official response from Valve.
Would be nice if the article's writer looked into and reported whether other digital game libraries could be transferred over via will (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, EGS, EA app, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher etc) instead of this half-baked piece but it's probably the same for all of them anyway
This seems like a way bigger issue than mandatory PSN account linking for PlayStation games.
So where is the outcry?
The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.
Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.
I don't understand games media obsession with this topic. Ubisoft is making games that have some political themes in them but not beating the player over the head on how to feel about those issues, I don't see a massive problem with that.
But then again it's not that games media "want them to take a stand" they want them to take a very particular stand one that completely lines up with the political ideologies they have or the articles would simply turn to bashing Ubisoft's pushing of political topics they seem incorrect.
I would have absolutely no problem seeing games exploring all kinds of different political themes or seeing characters and stories with different views on politics or what have you, key words being ALL KINDS, again not what games media are looking for at all in regards to this repeated campaign on Ubisoft.
WHO CARES? I know I don't. I don't care what their political stance is. I don't care what their views are. I care if the game is good or fun.
Games are about entertainment, not pushing your bullshit liberal agenda.
Yes it makes sense. I like to buy video games not glorified political statements that needlessly cause disagreement among people who just want to have fun.
It's the reason I can enjoy Tom Clancy games with fictional politics, I would rather throw my myself into the sea than watch the likes of Captain Marvel or Batwoman who seem more intent on making ham fisted political statements than quality content for people who just want to be entertained.
