Tom Clancy's XDefiant - Launches This Summer, Play The Open Session June 21-23

LIke Fortnite, Apex, I doubt this one will get me into the F2P arena FPS genre. This will only appeal to streamers and adolescents.

Xdefiant is the stadia of Splinter Cell.
 
I just find it strange they haven't bothered doing anything with splinter cell, how many AAA spy/espionage games have we had lately? Only one I can think of is hitman and it's pretty different then what splinter cell is. (Used to be)
 
I find it strange they think this can compete in a crowded shooter market. DOA.

I saw on Twitter someone half joking that they'll play it if it has good anti-cheat. With most major FPS games getting wrecked by cheaters, Ubi may win by default. They have some pretty solid anti-cheat in R6 Siege (better than most out there).

I actually installed Valorant this weekend because it is the only FPS game lately with decent anti-cheat on PC. With games going cross play, just going console isn't keeping us safe anymore.

Sadly, this could be a big selling point for me. BF 2042 is going to be a mess with hackers unless they really up their anti-cheat efforts.

COD and Warzone are just getting bad again. Not that you see a definite cheater all the time, but enough to make me question every time someone kills me. It destroys any fun in the game.

Well..... okay here it is. It's from a weird satire movie Jane Austen's MAFIA that is supposed to parody gangster movies like CASINO or Godfather. I can't really recommend it, but it was just memorable I guess for this one scene of gross out puking.


Thread ruined yet?



I think so 🤣

Tell me I am not the only one to see the poo....

If I am the poo girl, I will transfer school the next day. There is no coming back from seen pooed in front of everyone.

By the way, what movie is that?

It will suck. Ubisoft hasn't put out a decent game since AC Odyssey.
 
I have not played it yet, but from what I saw, it was a little COD, a little R6 and a tiny bit of hero shooter. 6v6, but way faster paced than R6, but it had sci fi elements like shields, so a little hero shooter mixed in, but not going full Overwatch. They definitely seem to be going after the more COD type of player.

Game feels like Blops 4. Turn off crossplay though, PC players absolutely wrecking lol

I laugh when gamers complain about aim assist being too strong (auto aim lol). I mostly play on mouse now and it is far better in just about every game except maybe Halo.

I switched to mouse on COD and 2042 and never looked back. Controller players stand little chance, and I'm pretty much trash compared to good PC gamers.
 
Game is fun...on PC. Using a controller on PC and there's no input lag thanks to NVidia's Reflex. On console...it's not good.

While streamers make you think it’s the opposite and controller players have the advantage in games like COD lol.

It might be now that I played it. It is very fact paced and the aiming felt weird. It is funny, this plays how COD used to play. I was playing MW2 for a bit and switched to this and realized how slow COD is now lol.

This has potential. I think it is free to play so I definitely see myself at least trying it out.
