At least its a good game, from what I've heard.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Looks like all the Ubisoft games will come to steam 6-7 months after release. Too bad its completely redundant since they still require their launcher.

He is a prince.

Prince of Bel-Air

I'm so confused. Why is this not on Steam already? The console versions came out in January.

It's a brand. You also don't play as Zelda in any Legend of Zelda game. Or a Metroid in any Metroid game.

It’s on Ubisoft launcher on PC.

No one gave a damn in this one. You don't even learn his name, or his backstory, or his lineage. His nickname is The Prince, and he got lost searching for a donkey.

Gross.

Technically you do. On Hyrule Warriors games, also you play her spirit in Spirit Tracks and you play her in that rhythm game.

LOL ok. I'm sure you do get my point, but sure.

I do haha.

Gross.

I agree.

Knowing Ubisoft, it'll be another bare bones addition to Steam (no achievements, trading cards, etc). Glad it hasn't taken forever to finally hit Steam though.

I picked it up on sale on Ubisoft Connect for $25 not too long ago (was on sale for $29.99 then they had another 20% of code you could use).

 

[dorkimoe]

Metroid Dread

well that looks awesome but now i need a switch haha

 

[Gamezone]

A Ubisoft game with Steam achievements?

It's listed with achievements on Steam. And yes, I'm surprised.

 

[John Bilbo]

Metroid Dread

I just finished it yesterday. Goddamn what a great game! The map layout was maybe the best I've seen in a metroidvania game.

 

[TheUsual]

Maybe they will start updating their other games as well. It just screamed being bitter when they started selling on Steam again.

 

[Tomi]

Meh
Not interested

Pass
Thx

 

[Gamezone]

I think Ubisoft is the only publisher who doesn't embrace Steam on day one (not counting Sony for obvious reasons). They probably wanted EGS to succeed because of the 12% cut, but it didn't work.

LOL, no.

You DO play as the Prince of Persia in nearly all of these games, tf are you talking about?
Your name is literally PRINCE.

 

[Sanepar]

Finally where is AC Mirage?

 

[Gaiff]

You also don't play as Zelda in any Legend of Zelda game.

Of course, you do. Who’s this?

 

[Hrk69]

No achievements on Steam = no buy

 

[March Climber]

The Prince of Persia game where you don't play as the Prince of Persia.

The best way to not seem hypocritical would be to also point out PoP 2008 for the same point. That way there's at least consistency in your opinion.

Great thread derail btw.

 

[Arsic]

Game is one of my favorites of the year so far.

I felt burned out on Metroidvanias but this one really clicked with me.

 

[Shakka43]

Try the Ori games, if what you enjoyed was the combat then Afterimage is a good choice.

The metroidvania genre has been booming in the last few years I can name quite a few that i have enjoyed a lot, but not a lot play in a fast pace combo style like The Lost Crown.

It's a brand. You also don't play as Zelda in any Legend of Zelda game. Or a Metroid in any Metroid game.

Or Uncharted in any Uncharted game...

That's not how it works lol

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Of course, you do. Who’s this?

Is this a joke?

I was commenting on a post, maybe read for context. There's nothing confusing about my statement.

 

[Blackage]

The Prince of Persia game where you don't play as the Prince of Persia.

Or do you?!

Spoiler

No but seriously, there's a few hints that he's actually a prince as well

Don't let Ubisoft sabotaging it by not putting it on Steam at release or the Erik Killmonger haircut on every black character in gaming for the past 3 years put you off, it's a great Metroidvania.

 

[diffusionx]

The Prince of Persia game where you don't play as the Prince of Persia.

You play as the guy from Black Panther

It’s still a cool game though.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

All you PCMR steam-only dudes who enjoyed games like Hollow Knight need to buy and play this. After the tutorial area (up to the first boss), the game becomes one of the best metroidvania games, ever.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Killmonger of Persia

 

[proandrad]

I lost track, was this game labeled woke? I thought everyone was cool with this game.

 

[Ristifer]

It’s on Ubisoft launcher on PC.

Only by the racists that saw the Miles Morales haircut and jumped to conclusions.

Ubisoft must just be using uplay as a tax write off. There is a better chance of Nintendo putting their games on pc than that shit ever making a profit.

That's the context, and you couldn't be more wrong.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Edit-It seems I got the wrong game. Never mind

 

[Dazraell]

The Elika waifu game.
I remember the weird almost anti-gravity world traversal.
Had a large hub that branched out into different worlds.
I really liked the game, Would not mind playing it on PC.

Here you go. The game is often on sales, and I believe Steam Summer Sale will happen in next two weeks or so

And GOG version

That's not entirely true but I get your point.

In Hyrule Warriors you play as Zelda and in Metroid Dread you play as a metroid.

Clearly not though, as this isn't even the first one where this was a thing. But you do you. Your inability to read posts properly is absolutely not my problem.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

In Hyrule Warriors you play as Zelda and in Metroid Dread you play as a metroid.

Splitting hairs is fine. But yes I'm glad the basic point is understood.

 

[diffusionx]

the fact that you play as the guy from black panther (not actually, he just looks identical) is really weird and out of place, but it's a fine game. The story is total gibberish, no way could it be labeled woke because it makes no sense.
