There was a lot of information in Black Flag, but a lot of people didn't like that the main character was a selfish prick for the most part. He wasn't an Assassin, but he impacted the situation significantly and ... well... blah blah Observatory spoilers something. The series "non-past" story has always revolved…

Depends how much time you want to invest, but honestly start with Black Flag. It's a great pirate adventure game at the worst, and gives an idea for what Ubisoft likes to do with the series; experiment. Many different game mechanics and optional things and unlockable whatsits. Some of the game parts will annoy, some…

But when Mario games come more than once a year, it's awesome, right? Oh wait, because they're on different platforms? Yeah...

That... would actually be pretty cool. We know he was informing, so he would be a Rogue Templar...

Because game series have never diverged between console generations before. Like every Nintendo series ever. I bet all those Mario fans are confused as shit right now.

So if we played the original two zelda games and vaguely remember Ocarina, and still have no clue what the difference is, we're "poser gamers"?

Some of us didn't play/follow the series past the SNES or N64 days. I still have no idea what the deal is between Ganon/dorf, nor when there was a difference in big main enemy outside of stylistically. Not that I'm asking for an explanation, just saying... I had also assumed it was two names for the same character,…

Because people grew up with Mega Man, but Creed is a new franchise in an era and console environment where new IPs don't often stick around for long, or have long gaps between sequels. Nostalgia puts rose-coloured glasses on, and people feel that releasing games for loved old franchises is fan service.

Agreed. I don't mind a good chunk of story DLC; like ACIV's Freedom Cry expansion, but I've rarely bought things like multiplayer skins or weapon packs or unlocks or multiplayer map packs.

And the loud breathing coupled with odd vocal noises.

Open worlds often exist to get you lost, though. They dangle something off to the side of you, and before you know it you've been wandering around over there for hours and you forgot what you were doing before. In what I've played of Dragon's Dogma, there doesn't seem to be much danger of that happening, even while it…

Made me think of...

Or to avoid lawsuits or profit-sharing from Apple.

I find that there aren't many modern comics that I enjoy. Saturday Night Live cast of the past 5-10 years are all the "LOOK AT HOW STUPID AND LOUD I'M BEING. ISN'T THIS FUNNY?" type. Shows like The Office (US) and Parks and Recreation are bland to me. Everyone is portraying their characters so hard it hurts, and the…

Agreed, and thanks for the brief history. I remain interested in these types of games; God games is the typical description, but that's too loose. I call them Ant Farms. You fiddle with the environment, add props, create opportunities and upgrade potential while the AI acts on their own.

Like I said at the end, "Companies CAN come after you for little/no reason" but most companies understand that their fandoms want custom merch that they don't necessarily provide or want to consider.

It's a good concept, but I'm not sure they have the development skill to follow through with their ideas. I could be wrong and they're just not working on it a lot, though.

If he creates this concert ONLY for backers above a certain tier, that's a maximum of 7000 people. Of those, let's assume only 1/3 live in the USA (though it's probably less.) Of that 2300 people, I'm guessing less than 1/10 would actually show up depending on where they live. I doubt people in California are going to…

You're looking at the tag system from an individual item perspective. Those tags create a web of game associations throughout the entire database; similar and dissimilar games can be calculated with those tags.

While I applaud the generosity, I'm not sure a location-specific concert event is the way to reward your backers from all over the globe. Will he sell (for charity) tickets as well?
