I’m doing my part to break them.

Well somebody better tell Ubisoft to delay Assassin's Creed Shadows till 2026 then.

[–] Nilz@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

Then the news title will change to 2026 as well.

Nah, they'll just make it a AAAA level game

People need to stop buying them. Be patient. Get them on sale or sail the seas.

Got assassin's creed mirage. Was a decent game. For the $20 sale price I mean. Wouldn't spend more than that

I can already see one AAA failure coming.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is it Assassin's Creed: Shadows? Because a failure by Assassin's Creed standards is still pretty damn successful.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

It is AC:Shadows.

[–] icecreamtaco@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Please break

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Good thing i'm not going to be here for any of them.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee -3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What nonsense. AAA games are not going away there just may be fewer of them.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Not fewer, shittier.

They will just crank the monetization up and the quality down.
