Ciri IS the main character in the books, “The Witcher” refers to Ciri. So this was always going to happen.

Just because its longer doesn't mean its "more of an AC game."

I’m always a little perplexed when people unironically call Origins the “best of the franchise." It's barely an AC game.

The last Assassin’s Creed game was Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate. Origins is a cool egyption RPG though.

So you want Star Wars to turn into assembly line movies?

The Witcher 3 (and 1 and 2) are not indicative of what The Witcher is (and imo should be). Monster hunting is not what The Witcher is about. It’s about family, empathy and interesting characters. If you’re left wanting in regards to Geralt-Killing-Monsters then bad news. The novels (the 5 books taking place after the…

God, this is such a bad take. The books are so much better than the games. The games have too much fan service in them and turn Geralt into Conan The Destroyer. The *books* are an a whole “other level.” The games stay squarely at “cool fantasy guy action.”

Jesus, “garbage” ????

I guess I’m one of those fans then that lost them when Origins came out. I want a stealth-action Arkham style open world game where I am an assassin, doing assassinations which is how the series played pre-Origins (for the most part). I don’t want to even *think* about levels, loot, quests and worrying about enemies…

Does your mouse have thumb buttons? Going to keybinds instead of the weird mouse direction control scheme is so much better (but I’m saying this as a Chivalry veteran). Relying on your mouse direction for the attacks just isn’t reliable enough and you’ll find that most top players also use binds. It’s called “Classic”…

It has voice commands (screams, laughs, etc) but I’ll be honest it’s lacking that Python esc atmosphere Chivalry had. Mordhau is a bit more serious.

You may not be aware of this but Mordhau is a spiritual Successor to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. It plays almost identically. The developers are ex competitive Chivalry players (I’ve played Chiv with them when Mordhau was still called “Slasher” and a small idea). 

The Fortnight World Cup? Pfff, piss off.

The problem with Gollum is Andy Serkis’s interpretation of the character was so iconic that it’s turned the character almost into like a one-liner meme character that just goes “HGMRHMGH PRECIOUS! MY PRECIOUS!! MAHAH” and it sucks. Gollum sucks, but when you read the books you realize that Gollum is quite a sad and…

What the hell is that boost sound? The camera seems off to me. The arcade version of this game is so good. You get the whole Anakin cockpit with the steering pokes and engine buttons and everything. The n64 bundle was the first console I got. This game still holds up!

For me, it’s about getting older but it’s also just where current AAA games have gone to. Everything is becoming huge time sink open-world collecting side questing loot boxing expansioning marathons. I’m bored and tired with them and don’t want to make time for them anymore, it’s so bad that it has activly made me…

How about game companies stop making everything huge and open world? This problem of quitting games before you finish them is actually affecting my playing habits in general. I’m playing fewer games, I’m playing less hours in the week and I’m slowly incing towards meaningless multiplayer games where I play a few…

Stephen, would you still call this an Assassin’s Creed game?

Awesome to see those original Origins Fereldan designs in a game. Might try this.
