    The whole live-service, Fortnite, Anthem, Destiny, Division etc model - became the new hot thing that every company wanted a piece of. Personally, I don’t get the appeal (other than mtx = $, sure) - but trying to turn great franchises into something they’re not, the result is always going to suck @ss.

    A big part of the problem for me at-least is that I find PvP as a whole a lazier way of Game Designing. Just making a big battle royale means they don’t need to throw in any real thought into proper dedicated story telling. Also these companies also seem to have forgotten that not everyone wants to play PvP some of us actually enjoy a well thought out and executed single player campaign

    Exactly! And who has time to look/wait for 3 friends to be available and online at the same time, just to play a couple of missions. Like I don’t have s*** else to do... 🤬

    For me these kind of games are pure escapism from my day to day life, when I’m playing them I don’t even like being interrupted by my better half never mind three other people on a headset lol

    My dread is a WatchDogs cross over.
    The good thing about the crossovers in Wildlands, is they are separate to the story. They’re an aside. Not part of the main story.

    As you say a Watch Dogs crossover would be a terrible idea. The others at least, to some degree, tenuously, fit with the franchise. WatchDogs most definitely doesn’t.

    The only plus side of a possible Watchdogs crossover, is that it might add a way to hack the various drones, and use them against the enemy.

    BP already is a Watchdogs crossover in all but name.

    So, No Man's Sky, a game by a tiny studio, famously maligned at launch, turned into a meme; by all accounts fated to oblivion. After a Christlike comeback, providing every piece of postlaunch content and update free of charge Is, of course, getting a next gen update:



    You ashamed yet Ubisoft?
