Marooners' Rock Podcast: Marooners' Talk Episode 009 "Dammit, Vinny!"

Chris writes: "“Dammit, Vinny!”, which is Episode 009 of Marooners’ Talk, was referenced as Episode 010 multiple times within the episode. Why did we reference it as 010? Well, because it has been almost three months since our last podcast, and I forgot we had only gone up to 008 in our numbering. So, you know…shut up. Anyway, “Dammit, Vinny!” features a couple of guests while at E3: Thom Clancy and the titular Vinny Luongo, who host the Geeks Anonymous live podcast plugged in the episode."

Ubisoft to Focus on "Return to Leadership" in Open World Genre, Expand Live Service Experiences

Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.

What though? I can't think of one game they had where I liked anything about it. Atleast since the ps3/360 Gen

If they have never been the leader in open world gaming, then explain me this: why does almost every open world game follow the same tired old Ubisoft open world formula?

Follow the Leader.

You were never the leader bro 🤣

shinoff21834d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting

Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."

Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*

At this point, only dummies have any hope left for Ubi-junk games.
