Removing the horse speed limit is definitely something the game needs, got so annoying.

Same with RDR2, at least let me do a light jog around the camps!

Assassin’s Creed Is Coming To Reverse: 1999

In an unusual pairing, Assassin’s Creed Is Coming To Reverse: 1999.

Seth_hun29d ago

What the hell is Reverse 1999? :)

goken29d ago

Apparently it’s some Gacha thingy…

Kekewei28d ago

Why is it listed as today's hottest, nobody cares about it here...

Servbot4128d ago

Ubisoft buying their way to the top. They always have the shittiest advertisement ideas, like flooding videos and comment sections with obvious bots.

Garethvk28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

I think it is more of a global appeal versus a U.S. market.

Garethvk28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Obviously they do or there would not be the hits on it. Even Google picked it up for their news feed.

The Open-World Genre In Gaming Has A Quantity Over Quality Problem

More developers need to focus on what makes open-world games like Elden Ring and RDR2 pop, instead of focusing on needless map expansions.

KyRo276d ago

Open world games need a overhaul in general.

Go here - kill this target
Go here - fetch this
Clear this camp
Add dozens of filler side quests
Tack on a RPG skill tree
Finish up with a couple of hundred collectables

98 percent of open world games follow this game design and it's boring now after nearly a decade of following this same design.

anast275d ago

Maybe they know what it takes to make an engaging open-world, but they won't. For most publishers, managers probably get bonuses for finding ways to cut corners.

IAMRealHooman275d ago

yes. Every ubisoft like is overly large map. just to say it's huge with nothing in it.
Love'em or hate'em a yakuza game is a significantly smaller map, with a lot of side activities and absurd quest lines.trying the different restaurants in game can be enjoyable as they offer different buffs, do that or make traversal so good you wouldn't dare fast travel ie Spiderman

YourMommySpoils275d ago (Edited 275d ago )

Stellar Blade says hello.

The only quality game to come out this year.

exputers275d ago

While true, that one's not a full open-world. Pretty much like God of War Ragnarok.

YourMommySpoils275d ago

Not sure how everyone judges this. If that's the case, that would mean even The Witcher 3 isn't open world and just semi maps slowly unlocked.

jznrpg29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Was with you until the only quality game part. Plenty of great games this year. It also came out last year

jznrpg29d ago

Some are great some are not. That’s the same for any genre. There are tons of Metroidvania’s, some are great some are not, souls games etc etc

Technically, we wanted more money.

bradfh555d ago

Call of Duty already does this; Ubisoft and other game companies will follow suit and explore similar approaches.

Kaii555d ago

Congratulations, A technical error In displaying ads while playing.
EU consumer law needs to chew these assholes a new one.

TheColbertinator555d ago

At this point the entire EU commission must be bribed

Christopher555d ago

The big note here is the built in ad-displays during gameplay and not that they happened. Start screen, cool. Gameplay? That shouldn't ever happen.

Yi-Long555d ago (Edited 555d ago )

"Start screen, cool."

Uhm, no. Start screen very much NOT cool either. There really need to be new laws implemented banning these companies from shoving ads down out throats at every opportunity they see fit.

Crows90554d ago

For free to play which is a market of games needing monetization through different venues. In those games this stuff is fine by me. But when you pay ..20, 40 ,60, or $70 that's when it is not okay to any degree.

jznrpg554d ago

Start screen not cool either

walken7555d ago

They're testing the waters, vote with your wallets.

porkChop555d ago

That's not a technical error. An ad can't be displayed mid-game without you creating the code/tech to make that possible first.
