The same opportunities for optimization exist on the PS4, so the gap could get narrower, it could stay the same, or it could get wider; there's not telling yet.

Are these 1:1 scale to the books/series (obviously, within the constraints of not having blueprints for fictitious places) or scaled down?

He's seen some stuff.

Fucking hell. Setting the code to accept different resolutions may or may not be difficult (I'm not a graphics programmer, and I have the nagging suspicion neither are you), but right there you need to redo the interface with one more options screen, at the very least. It's a lot more work (and testing) than you seem…

Small loss. I was looking forward more to a good open-world action-adventure pirate game than yet another AC game, much as I enjoyed II/Brotherhood/Revelations.

As far as I'm concerned, he's still being digested by the sarlacc.

Is it just me, or shouldn't this warrant some kind of, you know, spoiler warning?

They'll both pan out in the long run.

Would have been nice to get a proper pirate action-adventure game without all the extraneous AC baggage.

Not really the game's fault LA is exactly like that, though. They just took the setting and ran with it.

In Grand Theft Auto V you drive. You always drive. You can choose to walk but there is never a sense that you should.

Punitive damages are punitive, I guess.

Sure, in the video section of the shop; the music section is still full of CDs. At any rate, DVD is still dead, it just doesn't know it yet.

I don't know. Perhaps soldiers who aren't tired, thirsty, short on sleep and afraid for their own lives can afford to be a bit more discriminating with their firepower.

On the other hand, a remote-controlled robot (particularly if the camera feed is being logged) is significantly less likely to rape a 14-year old, murder her and her family and set fire to the corpses.

"8 years on and DVD isn't going anywhere."

Except that we're talking about two entirely different definitions of "forcing" here, of course; one metaphorical, the other rather literal.

I presume you feel similarly about foot-binding and genital mutilation, so long as there's a woman somewhere who speaks in support of it, because, you know, "their culture and tradition"?

Cable ties. Arguably the single most versatile and useful item ever.

On the other hand, it's also easier to feign exasperation and mock-surrender than to admit one is wrong.
