That statement doesn't really say anything of value. It's just an opinion based on an arbitrary stat responding to negative news regarding just one of the current subscription services.
I'm still waiting for all the Call of Duty games to be on Game Pass because I want to play them all in order. And to think, last year I thought it would have already happened by now lol.
@Kaloudz Yeah, Gustave looks like him. I also showed the launch trailer to my girlfriend, and she said the same thing, but then I showed her a screenshot and she finally agreed. I guess the similarities are more apparent ingame than in the cutscenes.
@Kaloudz And not just the premise but the execution too. The opening is so strong that I really hope the game can keep up in the later stages. So far it's delivering all right.
@themightyant That happens with every game and even more with Game Pass. Plus, in that scenario you describe those players still bought or installed the game, so my point still stands.
Thinking that Oblivion would directly hurt this game is not understanding the players. I knew this would do well. Its qualities are genuine in the sense that there are no doubtful marketing tactics, meaning no hate nor proportional opposite narrative. This game looks beautiful and feels great to play, period.
@Kaloudz These are NOT good news for every Ubisoft fan but only to fans of the listed IPs. The other IPs, just like many of the employees, have their fate tied to the rest of the company not affected by this change.
I wanted to play Gal Guardians, but it got sadly delayed on Xbox. I'm playing a bunch of shmups, Card-en-Ciel and a couple of old games on other systems.
@Ricky-Spanish Maybe the people you refer to are DA fans, you know, the people who got into the games before when you couldn't. Try to see it that way instead of just dismissing them as haters.
@abe_hikura It's not a half-step, they already adressed what you say last year "We did debate about this internally. “Maybe we should reskin the game into the current open-world type map? But after thinking about this, we would definitely have to basically remake the game from scratch, and by doing so it could alter other things about the game, and we decided that’s not the direction we really wanted to take.”
@FraserG thanks for the mention! This year I finished around 40 games (similar amount as last year coincidentally).

@fizban3332 This was my experience as well. I didn't try it again after all the patches and DLC, but that first impression was too strong.

Sniper Elite 5 is a great game. I haven't tried Resistance yet.
Re: Digital Foundry Impressed With Oblivion Remastered, But Xbox Series S 'Takes A Hit'
Too bad they didn't add console mod support like with Fallout and Starfield (on PC a lot of OG mods work on the remaster).

Re: Ubisoft Shares Spike By 10% After Tencent Invests $1 Billion Into New Subsidiary
That's a very "optimistic" title, to put it lightly. No mention anywhere about the potential layoffs this could entail.
