Special Thanks to Ubisoft for sponsoring this episode. Pre-Order Assassin’s Creed Mirage Today ► https://ubi.li/uOXUxto Assassin’s Creed Mirage launches Oct 12th on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, EPIC, PC, and Amazon Luna. Friends today we’re taking a look at one of my all-time FAVORITE series… Assassins Creed. These…
In 2017, the “AAA” game industry went all-in on loot boxes – microtransactions that emulate gambling to maximize ill-gotten gains. In 2018, new games aren’t using them and old games are scrubbing them. Are they done in the mainstream business, or are companies just biding their time?
How FC2 holds up 10 years later. FC5 has its own attention to details that FC2 doesn’t have, this comparison doesn’t mean FC5 has nothing to show. Both games run under a different version of the Dunia engine (Ubisoft-modified CryEngine). If you don’t know which game is which, Far Cry 5 always cuts before Far…
Is Far Cry 5 good? I think so. The problem with Ubisoft games is you can’t tell anymore, they’re all the same. It’s understandable when a sequel iterates on its predecessor, but Ubisoft is one publisher with MANY franchises all building off each other. It’s making it hard to care,…
It’s time to visit Hope County and do… pretty much the same thing you do in pretty much every “AAA” Ubisoft game.
Everybody loves lists, especially people who say they don’t. The Jimquisition this week roots through history’s garbage to find the ten worst types of DLC in videogame history. At least until we think of ten more, then we can do another list. Lists are great!
Let’s talk about collector’s editions, specifically the ones that aren’t really collector’s editions. You shouldn’t be able to call a box of garbage an “edition” of anything, but welcome to the game industry, where Bethesda, EA, and Microsoft have been doing just that.
Once again the “AAA” industry thinks it has a golden goose, and once again it’s primed to bang that goose until the eggs come out filled with nothing but decaying spunk.
On Monday morning I said publishers were going to embrace “live services” as their new flavor in 2018. That afternoon, Ubisoft told its investors how “live services” are their new flavor in 2018. In fact, they seem disinterested in games entirely… at least as we know them. Like clockwork, folks….
There is a constant problem plaguing the game industry, if its spokespeople are to be believed. Games cost $60, and that price doesn’t work anymore! Weirdly enough, The Jimquisition agrees with this assessment. “AAA” games should indeed not cost $60 anymore, and they most certainly have outgrown it.
Games cost a lot of money to make. You need to pay developers, you need to license engines, you need do a lot. Extra Credits pointed out all of these costs in a recent video, and I’m certainly not going the claim the expenses aren’t expensive. But is it just…
