As it struggles to find players, Ubisoft's XDefiant will give you $9 in funbucks if you log in a few times over the next couple of weeks (www.pcgamer.com)

I've never heard of this game before.

Only seen it once myself, because my Anno 1800 addiction requires the Ubisoft launcher.

Weirdest name for a game I've seen in a while.

It kind of got overshadowed by the helldivers 2 craze

Funbucks is corporate speech for something that's not fun at all.

[–] alessandro@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

just remove the "unb" from Funbucks and you got the original plan for Ubisoft to their customers.

"You can spend funbucks on things like taking a restroom break."

I haven’t heard anyone mention xdefient since May.

This game was marketed as an arena shooter when it is far from it. It's a COD clone that can't attract any players.

"please ~~clap~~" play

Dang I forgot about that one. I played a few rounds when it was new but my COD days are behind me. It wasnt great or terrible

This game has no soul, it's a cross universe amalgamation of Ubisoft games but somehow manages to do nothing interesting with any of the characters or cosmetics.

Then the gameplay is just COD but somehow stiffer.

Just look at The Finals, sure, plenty of people have issues with it, but there's genuine creativity in the cosmetics and it brings something new as a shooter.

How much is one Funbuck in Stanley Nickels?

Wow, I think I have more respect for alcoholics than I do for gamers, at this point.

Dirty Bomb was a lot better

TTK in this was so low that you would just kill off spawn until you had to reload or if your team was playing the objective you would hold it while the other team just runs in until they get enough people into their spawn camper
