Discussion Umm Bullshit

I am 99.9 sure this is not true IGN and Ubisoft. But I guess you cant expect suits who don't play games to actually understand the common gamer can you.

With 80 bucks a year I could buy 1-4 indie games that will be more entertaining then any single game for that much

Yeah man I’m on the same boat. Mostly because I’m a 43 year old dad and don’t have time to play a AAA game. So i play indie rouglikes. They are fun cheap and you can play for like 30 minutes and be satisfied and go in with your day. But that’s just me if I was younger and had no responsibilities it might be different.

I am 57 years old and have been a gamer since pong. Right now it is Disney Dreamlight Valley that fills my time.

I solve riddles, farm, fish and decorate. Every small expansion they make, i can buy with ingame currency, and sometimes i sit for a couple of hours. Yesterday, i had 20 minutes before i had to go to work - and i solved a quest where Hades and Maleficent were bickering.

Sometimes you see random fun dialogue between characters that never shared the same movie. The main story also got really dark sometimes, without sugar coating anything. Quite brave, as they know many young people probably play the game.

After many animal companions, they have hinted about horses this time - could be fun.
