Player 2 looks at the open-worlds that are going to steal your time in 2020.
Yes, Ubisoft's divisive pirate RPG Skull and Bones appears to be sailing on the tides of success, as Ubisoft prepares to launch Season 2.
Reminds me of the E3 after the Fallout 76 launch, where the Bethesda team came out on stage hyping how great the game was and had people actually cheering in the audience. (Despite all the negative reviews and feedback floating around the internet at that time.)
But would we be really surprised to find out S&B did well? There are million s of gamers who don’t even arch reviews and just buy what looks cool.
Remember for honor and how much hate it got for the ridiculous amount of micro transactions and player progress be behind a pay wall. Well guess what it’s still going on and one of most successful games for UBI. We think few weeks of hate or dislike matters when most publishers plan for that and start pushing it harder once journalists have moved on to other games
NBA-K is basically a digital casino yet it’s generating hundreds of millions
NFL and FIFA player cards generate EA billions in micro transactions
We don’t buy them but just look up on YouTube and how many people have invested thousands into some of theee games. And 2K pays these YouTubers to highlight the digital casino
We are the problem. We refuse to speak with our wallets. When it’s our favorite game we become hypocrites saying things like no one is being forced to buy
Does anyone have accurate gameplay numbers from Steam or PSN? I smell snow job...
I recall seeing a fairly low concurrent player base that was helped by the free trial (likely the metric they are using internally to push for season 2)
If true, it goes to show that the negative press response was not reflecting reality. I personally thought omitting land traversal was a huge miss. But i also thought there was some things that were great about it. Lets see which story was true and which was made up (or worse, paid for)
I couldn't find any redeeming qualities about the game. Except maybe the graphics look decent?Please enlighten me. It feels like this was a bad mobile gaming turned into a console game.
I haven’t played it. But what I was seeing looked to capture some of the magic of Black Flag which was an excellent game. I felt that they could build on it and hoped that they would add land battles/exploration to it. The graphics do look good. And its not just another fps live service. Thats all. I dont really know much else about it, except I like the concept of playing as a pirate, with that sense of freedom and exploration.
No data just pr talk. The same site has an article talking about how the price of the game was slashed quickly post release, these sites treat us like fools lol
They're right. There is no argument either. The game is a turd and Ubisoft is doubling down on that turd. It's all fancy PR talk with no actual substance. I don't know what "argument" you're looking for. I read the article. It sounds like Ubisoft asked for a redo on their "AAAA" "game". Trash game and trash company.
Price decrease articles are typically made to make it seem like a gaming is flopping, they're often poorly researched and meaningless.
The article about the game thriving is also meaningless because it contains no data, it's basically corporate propaganda, even suicide squad is getting a season 2
In resume, not only this site plays both sides, it does it lazily and cynically because they don't care about quality, what they care about is clicks from us ( fools )
@ jb
🤣 all it says is thanksfor the support. It's not like they're saying hey it's better than what you've seen come buy it. Lol you guys will whine about anything
@ Friendly
Gotcha when you referenced the other articles was like... uh doesn't that make it non biased? Basically you prefer stats with these articles or some sort of metric. I'm tracking. All I can say is... not everything is an amazing read or comment on n4g, lol. Game on!
Skull and bones TReMENDoUS ReSPoNSe. Prove it gaming journalist !! Prove it
@InYourFaceHole Use all the emojis you need in order to feel better. Your latest comment is just a "save face" comment. Everybody knows you're a Ubisoft simp now. I hope you got what you wanted with your $190 Rare Earth Metal Ultimate Clandestine Epic Edge Lord Edition.
After launching three years ago in a relatively disappointing state, how does Experiment 101's open-world action title hold up?
I played it on the PS5 in 40fps mode and it was pretty decent. Looked great, gameplay was a little but clunky at time, and fairly repetitive, but there's a large map to explore, LOADS of things to do, and you're a gun-toting, kung-fu'ing racoon !!
Accept the game for what it is, and you'll have a good time like I did.
Can't speak for how it was at launch, but the game I played was a 7.5/10
I would like to see this game get a sequel with all the lessons learnt from the rocky launch and with newer tech.
I finished this not too long ago, definitely one of my most favorites I was really in tune with it, I didn't silence the narrator cause it always felt like I was being told a story, lol just like real life I enjoy old people telling me stories every since I was a kid I've always enjoyed that, biomutant 2 would be so mf nice to happen, definitely going for a 2nd playthrough on ps5 this time around
Biomutant comes to the Nintendo Switch. A decent port, but nothing groundbreaking.
I got the 399 collectors edition of destroy all humans for 200 bucks. It was the last purchase I made with the 20% off Best Buy gamers club before it ran out ☹️ You will be missed gamers club.
Though there are many games I am interested in and/or looking forward to, only one game is on my highly anticipated list so far and that is Ghost of Tsushima.
I really want to be excited for Destroy All Humans remake, but the devs making it have a rather underwhelming track record.
No Dying Light 2? Pretty much the only game I'm excited about this year so far, especially since Chris Avellone is writing for it. Man knows his way around narrative branching.
Damn BioMutant and Skulls'nBones ... Lets see if they survive the development hell.
