You now what might be a stopping point for women trying to enter game development? Oh, I don't know, a high-profile studio literally saying "we're not having women characters because it's too expensive."

So, what, did they just lose all the assets, animation, rigging, and resources they had for Aveline?

Yeah, people who want to see 46% of the gaming population represented in a game that has 4 characters are clearly just social justice warriors.

Because it's not like they could even consider having a female main character, amirite? HAHA WHO WANTS GIRLS IN VIDEO GAMES? THEY HAVE COOTIES.

Is anyone else weirded out by the cow being fed food that's mostly meat (probably other cow) product? Isn't this how prion diseases get started?

I'm a little confused as to why her eating dog food is acceptable and cute. That's not a good diet for a cow, at ALL. I hope they're working on ways to get her off the dog food and onto something that she is actually supposed to be eating.

Please tell me Milkshake doesn't do that thing where they drag their ass across the floor. That would kind of ruin it for me.

The awesome new engine is plenty for me to sink my teeth into.

In the co-op or the whole game? I can understand not having interest in the co-op, but losing interest in the entire game (in a series that traditionally focus's mostly on single player) over that seems silly to me.

I think it's difficult to do full-on all the time co-op without the game feeling like a co-op game in general, which would angle pure singleplayer folks like me. That's why many of us worry about a co-op Elder Scrolls, it might make the game feel more like Borderlands than Skyrim.

I appreciate the answer, but I was mostly just questioning wcgall's assertion that left- and right-libertarians are anti-socialism.

Libertarianism has always had this right-wing strain in our country, where it's less shaped by anarchist figures and more by the philosophy that was dominant in the South. The term liberty derives from an aristocratic philosophy that was used to justify serfdom and slavery— they were required so that the people who…

Except in the US, the right-wing variety is the dominant strain, so when you say "libertarian" most will assume you mean the right-wing variety. Left-libertarian has to be used to designate the left-wing variety because they are rare and not recognized as libertarians at all by the dominant strain.

It's a peculiarity of political history in the United States, probably caused by the excesses of the Gilded Age, the Red Scares of the 20s and the Cold War, that almost no one has heard of left-libertarians (Like Noam Chomsky) or takes them seriously. Instead, in my country, libertarianism, in the original meaning of…

Yeah, that's a good estimate. According to my profile on acinitiates.com I spent 52hrs in the main game and have 100% in it. I'm not sure if that includes the DLC or not though.

You hear that gaming industry? Sack up and make better games! Or cut the shit and make them 1/4 price! Or both!

This guy over here is rolling his eyes at you! Heavily!

ACIV had 50 hours of single player content. I tried to %100 it as fast as possible and it took me 48 hours.

Well, at least they seem to have fixed the broken climbing animations from the previous two games. Call me nitpicky, but the fact that neither Connor nor Edward's feet matched up with the surface they were climbing was a never ending stick up my backside while playing the games. In fact, from being my favourite aspect…

I'm actually excited for this. I didn't really like playing online matches in the past games. But this is something I could get into.

I haven't really looked forward to an Assassin's Creed this much since Brotherhood. The aesthetics of this remind me of everything I loved about AC2. And being able to co-op with the girlfriend, who is also a big fan of the series, makes this one a must-buy for me.
