As a cannabis enjoyer, I feel in this case, as is usually the case in my world, quad claims are bullshit.

They never went away. They just aren't advertised as much.

Its $70 because they're making back that expensive nightmare its been whether you want it or not.

Just because the Ubisoft CEO comes up with new flashy words to describe something, it still won’t make up for the fact that this is an awful, unpolished, and unfinished game, just like pretty much anything else Ubisoft released in the last decade, as a first-party developer

I saw Ubisoft in the title and realized I don't care. It could be duodecillion-A and I still wouldn't give a flying fuck.

This game is a collab with the Singaporean government, their workforce has terrible salaries plus benefitting from generous federal subsidies. Is that not enough for you Yves?

Leave it to Ubisoft to add an extra A to the already shitty landscape that is AAA gaming.

Lol

I played the closed beta. For 20min. I couldn't continue because it felt so incredibly boring. Insanely uninspired. Even Blackwake, the buggy mess with the simplest game loop was more interesting.
