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.

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.

Yeah if I go back and play any of them Black Flag's kind of THE one I'd touch

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

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!?
