    Game Pass is going gangbusters. A monthly fee to play shitloads of games, including first party titles at launch, with a discount on purchasing those games if I decide I want them? Awesome.

    I think the problem is you, Ubisoft. No one trusts you. And you keep releasing the same game.

      You know what’s fucking ironic? Ubisoft might as well be Abstergo and me Rayman. I like Watch_dogs and Anno, I really do, but I’m not a goddamn Les Collaboateurs. Good concepts do not excuse greedy implementations, and unlike Rayman I’ve never defended Ubisoft before I have begun criticizing their practices - ever since Anno 1800 and Watch_dogs Legion were Epic Games exclusive - so take it from me; Fuck this guy and Ubisoft should crash and burn.

      On a totally unrelated, I swear dude no connection at all, note: Anyone ever see the intro to Nitrome Must Die!?

      Someday I think “Maybe I’ll play the Assassin’s Creed games”

      Then I remember that I played the first one, meaning I already have.

        I do recommend Black Flag. It’s at least a little different (you spend a lot of time on a pirate ship sailing around sinking other ships) and really fun.

            I got it on my Switch so I can go pirating on the go.
