@NEStalgia I know man, I was there no need to explain to me. Was just messing with you. Ended up getting for honor for free last year during Christmas time. There was glitch in Gamestops system. Got a bunch of stuff free, didn't end up playing it but like most Ubisoft games I've read it's improved drastically over the years.
@redd214 For Honor is a great game that was ruined by an ill prepared online functionality.....for a mostly online game. It really needed more modes out of the gate, and the netcode and P2P player base was just awful. I think they fixed much of that and announced just at E3 they're putting up dedicated servers, but apparently not before they had to hand out the game for free to get people to play it Personally I feel the game design could have used some more meat to make it unique. It's an excellent swordplay combat system and they wasted it on CTF & King of the Hill standard shooter fare type game modes where it could have really shined with a more "siege the castle" type mode as a main mode. They missed the boat on that. (Admittedly King of the Hill is like a really small scale Musou game. But could have been so much more. The mechanics are there to support going big.)
@Knuckles-Fajita Let's be real, PS2 sold well because it was the cheapest DVD player on the planet.
You're right, had nothing to do with the amazing lineup of games /s
The DVD player was a big deal at the time if I remember rightly. It came along at the exact right time where DVD players were still quite expensive so a lot of people didn't have one.
When I bought a PS2 on launch day, it essentially became our home's main movie watching device.
@NEStalgia I feel like Ubisoft is missing the boat a lot by shoehorning their always online shenanigans into a lot of their games. It means that folks like me are out, before the game is even out, and the few who bought the game on accident find themselves in empty servers. At least, I like to think that's the way it goes.
Anyway, same goes for Skull & Bones. Gameplay looks brilliant. Always online? Pass.
@Octane Ubis online games are consistently some of the best selling every year from what I recall (may be misremembering) so doubt they'll change any time soon. I do enjoy a lot of their games and the always online fortunately has never been a concern personally.
@Octane the division, Ghost Recon, R6 Siege do though. All always online games, all top 10 sellers for their years. Point I was making was that I don't think they're "missing the boat" as you say when their online games are consistently in towards the top of the charts. I mean the division released in a horrible state over 2 years ago and the servers are still plenty full.
@Grumblevolcano wow really?! Always made at least a bit of sense on the switch but seems unreasonable for a 50gb bluray. I'll be going digital anyways so wonrlt effect me but seems very strange.
@MisterPi Activision are probably using the acceptance of some carts on Switch not having the full game as an excuse to do it on other platforms. I doubt the full trilogy is over 50GB, to me it seems more likely to be a LA Noire type situation.
