Still no Assassins Creed: Canada Fur Traders edition...disappointing.🤨
07:00 lol Yasuke is not African American. Just African. My American coworker here in Australia made the same mistake talking about a Sudanese client who definitely had never stepped foot in North America.
Yeah I’m too ensconced in US pop culture!
Thanks omniscient RUclips arbiter.
@@ibuydigital1574 you're welcome, unnecessary snarky and very late commenter
Missed the Rundown! You're the best Vic!
Appreciate you!
Been following you since your show on TV in 2004! Always a pleasure to listen to you Mr Lucas!
Thank you!! :)
Love the rundown
❤️👊🏻
Marvel animation needs to bring back the Avengers earth's mightiest heroes show for more seasons
Love the rundown :)
African Americans definitely didn't exist the 16th century, however, I think we understand your point.
He knows that.
The biggest game of spring at 3:48
I have to disagree, Vic, I don't think this was always Xbox's plan. I think Game Pass was the plan for Xboxes and PC, but it failed to do the numbers it needed to for how much they were spending on third party content. Then Xbox fumbled their IPs and franchises, fell way behind Sony and Nintendo in hardware sales, and then got the mandate from the c-suite to put their games elsewhere to make up that difference. I think, now, they'll become a third-party with some of their own hardware, but because the c-suite wants money and Game Pass subs, not because that's what Xbox wanted to do.
I don’t know almost since day one that Game Pass was launched we’ve been talking about it being an app on Nintendo Switch. Xbox/Microsoft have published on other platforms for years - Minecraft, Age of Empires and MechAssault on DS, Ori…
I think multi-platform was always the goal.
@EPN I think that was just wishful thinking because the Switch is portable and everyone wanted to play everything on the go. I think that was before devices like the Steam Deck and Ally too. Xbox was in a better financial and hardware place too, and before their biggest acquisitions.
I want new animated shows for characters like Iron Man, Hulk and the Fantastic Four separate from the mcu
Me too!
I love the direction Xbox is headed in. Gamepass Ultimate and xCloud letting me stream games right on my smartphone paired with a phone controller like Backbone. It’s all such an awesome time for gamers
How do you dust the tables behind you?!!
First off, I love Forbes becoming part of the EPNU, having loved Paul Tassi's articles. Your passion for your favourite franchises are always a friendly reminder of why I avoid 'anti-woke' outrage. Am I concerned about how Yasuke is portrayed? Of course, but not enough to steer clear of playing another fun Assassin's Creed game, especially in Shadows' Japanese setting. As for Spidey, diversity is nothing new, besides when you've got Colman Domingo (Fear the Walking) and Zeno Robinson (Attack on Titan English Dub) playing Norman and Harry Osborn! I dig its animation too! Also, I've always considered Nintendo to be in their own ballpark and outside the console war. While Microsoft hasn't been purrfect, I still prefer their direction under Satya Nadella and Phil Spencer, especially ending their side of the anticonsumer console wars. Being in the PC master race, I never cared for exclusivity anyway and find holding onto it childish. Thank you for sharing, Vic!
I’m still surprised when G4 came back for a year they didn’t ask to work with you.
I really want Forza Horizon and Fable on PS5, so i'm very happy they are bringing Xbox games to PS5.
Plus Microsoft bought so many good studios like Double Fine, Bethesda, Obsidian, etc. I want to be able to play their games.
You're the best, been watching you since '98!
Thanks for being along for the ride! ❤
I'm an "old" gamer - first started on an Atari 2600 and playing SMB 1 on a stand-up arcade machine at Chuck e. Cheese way back. So I've witnessed - and been embarrassed by - all the console fanboys. I think it's a fantastic time to be a gamer right now. I own all the consoles and am a heavy PC gamer too.
Right now I'm playing Starfield on Xbox Game Pass (PC version) via GeForce Now using a PS5 controller - imagine telling yourself a decade ago that that would be a thing. I love the direction gaming is heading, love Game Pass, and would love to see more platform agnostic games and "exclusives".
If I can play a game on a Radeon or RTX card, let me play on either a Playstation or Xbox. Let the fanboys complain/brag about specs instead of exclusives.
I'm definitely a fan boy who complains about specs. I gave up on console gaming entirely because I got tired of nearly all the games running at 30FPS. Once you play PC games that run at 120fps, you can never go back to 30fps. I'm so spoiled with PC gaming, that I no longer even like 60fps. Like you I also game on PC with a controller. I use the XBOX controller. I don't like the Playstation controller because I find the thumbsticks are spaced too close together. Feels awkward in my hand.
more of that terrible 15fps "animation" that gives me a headache...i don't get it at all, is it super cheap to create?
Friendly Neighborhood Spidey has me intrigued, I definitely want to watch it.
Assassin's Creed Shadows. Hmm I'm not sure how I feel about it
Xbox changing gears. If others also followed, and shared their library. Exclusivity ends. Might even open more possibilities.
Awesome Previews Sir, Stay amazing! salute from the UK🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've stopped playing AC games for a while now. Was hoping Shadows would be good enough to get me back into them but looks like Ubisoft didn't really improve much and now half the game is just a hack n slash type game and the combat still looks clunky. But South of Midnight looks amazing! That and Doom and Ninja Gaiden 4 I'm very excited for! Thanks vic for great videos
Ghost of Tsushima was a good game, but it sure dragged out way too long. The game should have been about 30 hours shorter. I believe it took me close to 70 hours to finish. I spent about a full month on the game. 10-15 hours is the perfect length for a game. But I don't have a problem with games being even shorter than 10 hours. I'd rather a game be too short than too long. Another really good game that dragged out way too long was Days Gone. One of the longest games I've ever played.
Hi Vic i skipped your Spiderman part cuz of spoilers (did you have any) I want to go in blind with that show
Games are way too expensive to make now, why would you limit yourself to where you can sell those games. And too expensive to buy these days, I usually wait for sales on games unless its on Game Pass
Spiderman 2 is coming to PC in a few days :) But I will wait for sale still lmao
I play everywhere now, PC/laptop, PS5 and Xbox. My Gaming Laptop & steam deck is my favourite way to play now
Its nice to see you get it - about xbox
Thing about ac is I love the history of the setting origins was so good I love Egypt mystery. But when they start adding giant wolves as mounts and such I loose interest.
Its mostly white rage for assassins creed shadows.
I wonder if Microsoft will take it as far to put Halo on PS5 and Switch 2.
I have given my opinion on this on Twitter the other day. I think we the consumer are going to lose here because of Xbox is putting everything to all consoles it will not have Sony in a state of competition and competition drives innovation it drives forward new ideas creativity all comes from competition one trying to outdo the other. So again I'm going to say I respectfully disagree with you Victor. I think this is the wrong road for the industry to head in. There's already almost no games and just remakes and remasters happening nowadays because Sony has no competition they've never seen Nintendo as a threat which I do think they should but they don't. I think Nintendo is the only one here that has that in mind and they prove it all the time that it doesn't matter the hardware power it matters what they create on that hardware and I think Sony has lost their way and same with Xbox. I get the frustration of seeing a game on a certain console and then not having that console and you have to go out and buy more and what not but this is the way it's been and it's the way it should be. The only thing I have in rebuttal to that would be is when certain franchises start off multi-platform and then they turn to exclusive rights that is not good we the consumer lose but as always can't wait for another classic episode of EP see you Saturday #playforever 💕💕
yeah if they put xbox games on playstation, should be atleast timed exclusive. for certain games maybe.
Awesome 👏 I’m looking forward to watching the SpiderMan series
I really could use. PS5 👍🙏🙏
My backlog is gigantic, but I'm sure I'll add AC Shadows to that list shortly. LOL
Do have my fingers crossed that Starfield will come to PS5 at some point.
I’m ok with Spider-Man being a PS Exclusive, because I’ve always owned the PS consoles 😂
I would like to see some of these pc mist survival types on xbox 🤔
Vic the 🐐, hope you're well brother
Now if Xbox decides to bring Game Pass to other consoles I might have some issues! Games I’m ok with
Who cares about Spidey Wolverine is what I want to see everywhere.
So why own a Xbox console if you can play the games on PlayStation and PlayStation has exclusives ? Just own a PlayStation and have more ?
uh game pass?
That assasins creed combat looks absolutely horrible. Looks dated like something back from 2008. I have a feeling its going to be a huge bomb
Reviewing Section 31...?
😬
Great rundown
Honestly I couldn't care less about historical accuracy, the assassin's aren't historically accurate (obviously) but no one seems to have an issue there because they can't commodify that as political discourse. Why must everything be a scandal for online engagement? It's an industry unto itself and it's corroding the medium. I'm going to play it, enjoy it, then move on with my life.
Great reviews, but the conversation on Xbox's future was the best part. Very insightful 🤔 More people should hear this 11:36
Thank you D!
Funny japanese diet is also keeping a tab on this game 😅
Tenchu series anyone ?
Just keep making controllers Xbox, you guys are #1 in that department!
(Besides game pass of course !)💯
Yet Playstation created a better controller.
❤👍🏻
disney and sony dont get along with the spider-man brand/Playboy
Just another Ubislop open world bordom fest.
I'm so bored with open world games. Open world games drag out way too long, and are always extremely repetitive. I much prefer to play a short linear games game like Resident Evil, Dead Space or DOOM. Those games are the perfect length, and never become repetitive fetch-quest borefests.
I want a trash game, can these devs make garbage games again?
You have a nearly unlimited supply of options for trash games to play from the annals of history.
Couldn’t be more pumped to see Xbox go multi platform. As a lover of games, I want all games available everywhere.
I liked Tenchu, if playing with the woman is like tenchu it might be ok. The world is made pretty. Yasuke has no place and time in this game.
african american?? lol u mean african samurai
PS3 had an Afro Samurai game.
@ in the review he referred to yasuke as a African American samurai lol . Yasuke is just African. I just thought that was interesting choice of words
Hey let me help you out here Vic.
Assassin's Creed was never a historical game.
Its a historical sci-fi game, the internet lost its collective minds because RACIST are utilizing the fact that a massive amount of Ass Creed and non Ass Creed players forgot Ass Creed was never historical accuracy period peaces.
Too many aliens and time travel happens.
I fear this Ass Creed will end Ubi
how can he be african american if the game is set in a time period before america existed
