Nice. I’m still not using cloud gaming though. Can’t stand lag that's associated with it.

ifinitygamer111d ago

Yep, heavily agree though I've found some success with certain slower games. Something like The Witness or another walking sim would be great to stream and wouldn't suffer much, if at all.

Pentiment is pretty perfect actually for streaming, and As Dusk Falls.

ADF is the first game I played exclusively on my phone through to the end, Pentiment will be the second.

If Call of the Sea is still on Game Pass I'd recommend that too, but other walking-sim/slower paced games like The Medium or Scorn I'd stay away from - lower resolution and compression would make their darker aesthetic pretty awful and muddy even if you've got an OLED phone.

Ubisoft to Focus on "Return to Leadership" in Open World Genre, Expand Live Service Experiences

Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.

Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.

Well, to be fair, they did pump out good open world games before. It was used as a template so much that people now know what it means when you say it's like an Ubi open world collectahon.

What though? I can't think of one game they had where I liked anything about it. Atleast since the ps3/360 Gen

If they have never been the leader in open world gaming, then explain me this: why does almost every open world game follow the same tired old Ubisoft open world formula?

Follow the Leader.

You were never the leader bro 🤣

shinoff218318h ago(Edited 18h ago)

I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting

Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.

Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.

If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard

As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
