Incidentally, next week Uplay will have AssCreed Black Flag for free.

One of the better Asses in my opinion.

I've heard it's different for sure. Press "X" to be a badass in combat is gone, apparently, combat plays different compared to previous AC games. Which depending on your point of view might suck or might actually make the game interesting.

And I've heard it's terrible.

Dunno, really. Ubisoft is Ubisoft, so while it might be Ubisoft, it's also Ubisoft. Hopefully you'll be able to get a taste of what Ubisoft was before Ubisoft became Ubisoft and then became known as Ubisoft.

Get me?

This is like the Last Ass I've wanted to try. I haven't even been able to make myself finish Last of the Asshicans 3.

Get me?

I think you get better go over it again.

Well... some of Ubisoft's good things I can think of is early Rayman. There's also Beyond Good and Evil, Grandia 1&2 and Jade Cocoon 2, and Warlords Battlecry 2, and many more in years past.
I hear the Mario + Rabbids game is top notch. So they've made good things.

But they've also shit on a lot of previously good games too.
Biggest one for me, being that I LOVED HoMM3, is all of the HoMM that they've done. Sometimes I really do wish NWC had taken the IP to their grave.
Also shitified: Assassin's Creed (of course), Worms, Myst, most Tom Clancy titles, most Settlers titles, a lot of 'meh' at best Batman games, most of their Armored Core titles (2 was good).

And then there's UPlay... but there's enough vitriol towards it throughout the thread already, so no need to elaborate.

So... they're hit and miss as a whole, trending more towards miss over the last couple decades.

UnReal World is on sale for $8.24 on Steam for the Finnish independence sale. It's a roguelike, originally released in 1992, developed by a two-person team of Finnish dudes who have continuously supported and updated it for the past 25 years. It's an open-world open-ended permadeath crafting/survival game set in Iron Age Finland, which did that formula far better in the '90s than anything contemporary-indeed, they did it before it was a formula. It's quite arguably one of the best roguelikes ever made, IMO.

Ok, lemme try to explain.

Ubisoft is Ubisoft (duh), so while it might be Ubisoft (not terrible), it’s also Ubisoft (heavily flawed on many levels). Hopefully you’ll get a taste of what Ubisoft was (not terrible) before Ubisoft became Ubisoft (heavily flawed on many levels) and then became known as Ubisoft (one of many corporation-sized laughingstocks).

Does that make any more sense?

Distant worlds is well worth getting (assuming it's universe) - I've always thought they were losing a lot of business with pricing it so highly. Whilst you'll get the die hard fans, the majority of people won't pay £80+ for a 2D game with seriously 90s graphics.

You can do so, so much with it - the best bit being that you can automate out everything you don't care about and focus on what you do. It's certainly not perfect, but definitely the best 4x out there in my opinion.

That's Matrix/Sltherine for you.  :)  That said (most/entirety of?) their catalogue is on special at the moment.  Worth checking out discounts for anything you have previously thought overpriced.

Simply because we were speaking of it earlier, Assassins Creed: Origins is on sale at 20 per cent off. Steam.
