Hopefully they manage to make the actual gameplay less boring than the original.  One of the only video games ever to literally put me to sleep every time I try to get into it.

Very appropriate, seeing as how the Sonic games are exactly like that as well. 

It’s a good thing they included that gif.  Here I thought Cavill was actually sticking a real sword through that dude’s face.

This is a game that really benefits from the modding community.

I think you mean Dandelion the bard.  /s

I really need to play this game. 

This.

I cringed the whole way through. Combined with the ridiculous over the top chanting, it had some major tryhard vibes.  Angsty teenagers might find it cool though, so win, I guess?

Am I the only one that found that facial animation kind of cringey?

BREAKING NEWS: Video Game Released in 2020 Looks Light-Years Better than Previous Version Released in 1999!

The only problem is having to go back to a time in Assassin’s Creed series history when the movement controls were absolutely terrible.  Going back to Black Flag era movement after the ease and fluidity of something like Odyssey feels like a MASSIVE downgrade.

The phrase ”off with his head” comes to mind.

I’m genuinely curious if anyone responding to you (negatively, of course) actually has kids. Small kids say and do this sort of shit literally all the time. 3 year olds have no concept of gender beyond what parents tell them and what looks cool in their books and movies.

I’m very pro-Warren; she’s my top Dem choice all the way.  But, are we REALLY claiming that the “get me a beer thing” WASN’T a ham-fisted photo-op to reflect down-home relatability?  I mean, you can support her and still recognize the obvious theater of some of this stuff.

“prioritizing their politics over surface-level identifiers”

I can’t help but think that we, as a culture, throw around the phrase, “of all time,” far too casually.

You’re right, but I’d also argue that the tax increases would need to be tied to the cost-of-living in a particular area in order to really effectively ensure that the burden is not falling on those who would feel the squeeze. There absolutely are cities in the U.S. where a two-income family that nets around $150k is…

The only correct response.

Empty political rhetoric is empty. Only the most braindead of morons don’t recognize it when they see it.

Whoever it was in the industry that started the trend of “Adjust until the symbol is barely visible” as the standard way of gauging “correct” brightness should be taken out into the street and flogged.  Use precise fucking language you fucking twats.
