Ubisoft has had a hard time this year. The initial release of the highly anticipated Watch_Dogs didn't have quite the reaction they were hoping for, and now with the release of Assassin's Creed: Unity they find themselves being scolded by fans and critics alike to take it away and not come back until they've done it properly. They've begun to release update after update in order to fix their many errors and to get us closer to the masterpiece they originally intended. For most people, this is good, but in my opinion, I think it might just have been better before...

Ubisoft has had a hard time this year. The initial release of the highly anticipated Watch_Dogs didn't have quite the reaction they were hoping for, and now with the release of Assassin's Creed: Unity they find themselves being scolded by fans and critics alike to take it away and not come back until they've done it properly. They've begun to release update after update in order to fix their many errors and to get us closer to the masterpiece they originally intended. For most people, this is good, but in my opinion, I think it might just have been better before... By Jamie Lambert Back in late 2011, the expansive, lore-filled game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Its massive overworld was nothing like had ever been seen before, with no end of things to do. Bethesda truly outdid themselves, receiving a mass of awards and critical acclaim for Skyrim. Looking back on it, Skyrim had a massive impact on many games to follow. It has become an icon, a point of comparison to open-world sandbox games. Series such as Far Cry, Dragon’s Dogma and even Indie games like Lichdom: Battlemage have clearly taken inspiration from the title. I’m sure I speak for many when I say that Skyrim re-ignited my love for the RPG genre. By Ben Mapp Gamers, you can all breathe easy now. November is over. With so many highly-anticipated releases having come out within mere days of each other, the wallets and purses of gamers everywhere were emptying by the hundreds. Grand Theft Auto V found a prettier home on next-gen. Far Cry 4 came wandering out of the wilderness looking for food, and – in what has become a once-a-year celebration for veteran Ubisoft fans – the Assassins and the Templars were once more waging war across time. By Luke Kirby In a somewhat rather quiet fashion the first episode of Tales from the Borderlands, entitled Zer0 Sum, was released on PC & Mac last Tuesday and what a lovely surprise it was. Apologies to console owners anywhere but North America as your version will finally be available December 3rd. Also be not afraid, spoilers are not welcome in these parts. |
