  • Ubisoft has quite a track record for staying on their games as a service. Rainbow Six, For Honor, The Division…

    Skull and Bones has a great base to build on (imho!) and I am really curious how the game will develop.

    I must also say I got it for 38€ and I think that’s reasonable price for it but I also thinks it has still some issues and bugs, but the most important thing is I actually have fun with it.

    Ah fuck it, I know it’s against the meta here but I got it yesterday for 38€ and I actually really like it. Didn’t play the beta, didn’t see any videos beyond the initial trailer years ago and just got it because I like those kind of games.

    Oddly it reminds me a lot of Freelancer, you sail, you fight, you trade, you humm to the shanties, you upgrade your gear and ship and sometimes you do all of that together with other players. I don’t care for the hand to hand combat or the land gameplay of Blackflag cause these were actually the things I liked the less, and to be honest I also would not need the land gameplay in Skull and Bones since the real character of the game is your ship.

    If you’re fine with that and get it a decent price tag, it’s a really entertaining and fun game. For me after 6 hours of gameplay it would land somewhere between a 7 and an 8 out of 10 I think and I can really see myself playing for a longer time :)


  • Game journalism these days…

    Listen, I don’t play nor like Diablo 4 but is this headline not a little bit misleading since you get the mount skin as a bonus for buying 70€ worth of their stupid premium currency? So you actually pay for the currency and not the mount

    Again the disclaimer that I do not play Diablo 4, nor do I defend Blizzard or microtransactions and I’m a true supporter that the coolest looking stuff should be exclusively achievable by actually playing the freaking game and not fucking pay for it!

    If you excuse me now, got to continue playing Last Epoch which is even in its early access fucking amazing.




  • I have FFXIV for that, so eh, not really interested at all. 🤷

    Gameplay looked quiet fun to be honest and I always like a good coop game. And gameplay is actually the thing I care for, this is also one of the reason I quit FF14 after 800+ hours because in the end it was just a “run to the next text passage” in between the LFG instead of actual gameplay but I have Guild Wars 2 for this.



  • How the hell has this game gotten 8/10?

    maybe it’s not that bad? I mean the only big outlet who actually think its that bad and is riding this meta is IGN and I dont understand why people suddenly follow IGN or give a shit about their review/oppinion so much. Youtubers like Skillup for example actually liked the game, it sure won’t be a GOTY nominee or will get 9’s and 10’s, but I personally still can have fun with a 7 out of 10 which where I see the game could be landing.
