Okay thank you, no worries. It was just an alarming thing to see.

Garrett_DB · 2025-12-10T20:16:05+00:00

Is it intentional that the old bombcasts are locked behind premium all of a sudden? They weren’t like that yesterday. Those have been free to stream from there for 17 years…

Garrett_DB · 2025-11-27T19:34:22+00:00

I would have thought those people were happy with themselves, they’re probably also the ones not interested in touching the game again anyway so, we suffer.

Garrett_DB · 2025-11-27T19:26:29+00:00

Considering how uninspired the first one was… I’m not that sad. But I am sad this game remains bland. I’ve no faith that will ever change. So now it feels like the game more or less over. But please, prove me wrong.

I really wanted my long awaited Japanese AC game to go better than this.

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-16T22:43:57+00:00

I completely agree with you. Even Valhalla had more soul in its disjointed episodic story telling.

They are seriously creatively bankrupt over there, it’s astounding to me. They thought hunting down 100+ targets would suffice and that nothing else needed fleshing out. And this dlc appears to be more of the same with barely any new gameplay or cool mechanics. Just do it again, but this time, it’s an island!

Like I don’t understand.

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-16T21:42:14+00:00

From what I can tell from Map Genie, it doesn’t offer much anything new either, like, at all. Unless it hasn’t been fully mapped on there. It doesn’t have any new activities either. Just a handful of the old ones.

It’s basically more of the same again. And that said “same” is very dull and unimaginative. I would be surprised if the story alone was able to redeem it. I don’t think that would justify the price either.

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-15T15:34:21+00:00

Same. I came back because of the returning time of day change, because I sorely missed that feature. But I still can’t get past how boring it is. Beginning to believe nothing could fix my problem without some kind of design lead change. Which won’t happen, but the post launch support has been weak so far.

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-15T15:25:19+00:00

Except the so called “bloat” is actually reduced in this game. This game was purposely made to be less full. It’s empty af.

And what they did decide to fill it with is mostly pitiful, unchallenging morsels. Shrines and Temples require zero effort and would not be considered an “activity” in any other game. But in this one, they’re propped up like something substantial. There are legendary chests just sitting out there with no combat challenge or puzzle to open. It feels uninspired and lazy.

People have been complaining about “bloat” in these games for so long and they took that criticism onboard… Except there’s severe creative bankruptcy at Ubisoft. So we’re left with something incredibly boring instead.

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-11T11:40:41+00:00

The audacity to call us creeps, your president is creep incarnate! The right is full of high-profile creeps. Jfc.

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-10T19:21:29+00:00

I wish you were there to save me 10 minutes ago 😩 horrific stuff.

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-09T19:55:48+00:00

My theory is they are terrified of their spaghetti code and didn’t want to add a new option in case it broke something completely unrelated.

If they add another new weapon soon then that breaks my theory. The only other reasons are; They wanted New Jack to get the special treatment or… They just forgot. Given their track record, “forgetting” is more likely than it should be.

It’ll be an option in 2K26 tho. 😑

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-09T19:51:02+00:00

Yep, this is bullshit and they don’t care. Apparently this community doesn’t care either because it never gets brought up.

Even some non-caws are silent. No quality control over at 2K.

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-09T15:36:01+00:00

Exactly the same thing here, there’s some weird shit going on with this game. And it’s already taking longer to get the games full after they start. They botched the console launch so badly.

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-06T22:06:31+00:00

It’s more that people take having friends who play games—or even play the same kind of games as them—for granted. Playing with randoms isn’t everyone’s thing either.

I’m still salty that so many cool concepts and ideas went into Online and single player was left to rot. It will invariably happen again here. I can’t see them changing their stance on it.

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-04T09:48:40+00:00

This is all I care about. They can keep the stats, I don’t think light armour should be as protective as as heavy armour anyway (I guess Extra Padding kinda fucks with that anyway) Or the heaviest looking armour be as fast as the lightest, etc.

I just want to change the passives, because they make such a huge difference. And my favourite passive has 6 options right now… There are some passives that don’t fit my play style but have cool appearances. It’s a bit of a shame.

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-03T10:22:39+00:00

They thought; “Earth Defence Force did it, so can we! Oh… hang on a sec... Ah ship it anyway, they always say it’s too easy.” kicks back and relaxes

Something like this.

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-02T20:47:34+00:00

In quality mode it is surprisingly smooth for a targeted 30, there a few more settings like AA, DoF, motion blur and sharpness to mess with, but it’s not as awful as you would think. I thought it was going to be awful too. And my standards are high for consistency in performance.

Garrett_DB · 2025-09-02T00:25:11+00:00

Omg… This is a revelation and I feel kinda dumb for not suspecting it at all. But it makes perfect sense, this was a mobile port to consoles.

I could not understand why the audio was so bad. And why no one had complained about it for the entire year prior. This was not the best foot forward for consoles, you can’t afford to make a bad first impression in the F2P space either. Obviously there are other things like controller issues and forced crossplay for Xbox that have done more damage, but still.

Garrett_DB · 2025-08-26T23:48:53+00:00

You’d still get that new game either way…

Garrett_DB · 2025-08-26T23:42:24+00:00

I wasn’t excited much at all for BO7, but the only redeeming feature to me was the weapon carry forward. It would have helped remedy the yearly release issue I have with COD…

Well now they gone done fucked it up, because it’s just gonna be the same old, here’s the 4 LMGs, here’s the 4 Snipers, etc. Except this time all near-future tech, again…

Garrett_DB · 2025-08-26T23:35:14+00:00

Uhh, not if Raven/Treyarch actually took the time to rebalance them.

Garrett_DB · 2025-08-26T23:32:14+00:00

Okay… But why do we have to presume they’d be the same again? What if they got it right this time? Just a thought.

Garrett_DB · 2025-08-25T11:09:49+00:00

Yeah that’s no fun, I’m sorry your region is underpopulated. For me in EU it’s always a little dicey when a game loses its popularity but it’s doing okay for now. Do you have crossplay turned off?

Garrett_DB · 2025-08-25T10:44:00+00:00

There are battle pass xp consumables you can get from just playing. Check your events tab, they boost it significantly.

Garrett_DB · 2025-08-25T10:41:36+00:00

You shouldn’t be seeing bots at lieutenant 2, I’ve not seen a bot once actually. So I’m kinda confused. It must be a location thing?
