I absolutely despised playing as Aya in AC:O, so much so that by finishing the game as her and her shitty dual blade style left an extremely bad taste in my mouth at the end of the 80 hour epic. As a character, she was ok, but as a video game character she left A LOT to be desired. Her ship battles were just a watered…

Yeah, Origins makes a great first impression, but I was over it by the end. That and the way it finished the story pissed me off, but that’s for another day. I’m excited to play Rogue, as it’s the only true Assassin’s Creed game I’ve never played (I’m not counting the 2D or handheld versions in this). Thanks for the…

Wait, your favorite AC games are 3 and Unity? Don’t let them know! They’ll skin you alive!

So, AC:IV is vying for the title of my favorite Assassin’s Creed ever. Are you saying this is better than Black Flag? If so, I’m afraid I’ll have to play it, even if I have a little AC Burn from just finishing Origins.

Yeah, but not letting her be in your party always rubbed me the wrong way. She was my absolute favorite companion in the entire series - both in and out of combat. I also feel like she has the best story arc, especially if you go the full paragon romance route. Something about her becoming Professor X to a new class…

They did Jack dirty in 3.

I believe ME:A to be a good GAME, but a bad MASS EFFECT game, much in the same way I believe Halo 5 to be a good game but a terrible Halo game. Without expectations, history, etc. it may well be the best game of all time. As it is, however, it stands in the shadow of the Mass Effects that came before and get hidden in…

See, my only missing achievement from ME1 is BECAUSE of Liara. I’ve tried three separate times to get the ‘Asari Ally” to pop, and I complete the whole damned 40 hour game (I mean, you can’t just blaze through ME without exploring, right?) to not have it ding. DAMN YOU LIARA!

Yeah, I put 40 hours into Andromeda. If it can’t get its hooks in me in that long of a ‘test’ period, then it’s never going to. I plan on someday going back and finishing it, because I do see its merits, but as a Mass Effect game it falls woefully short.

Thane, Jack, Tali, Garrus, Wrex, Liara, Samara, Kasumi...

Fuck. That.

I’ve played through the original trilogy 4 separate times (Male and Female, both Renegade and Paragon). I can quote many of the scenes by heart; other scenes I can play with my eyes closed. One of these days I swear I’ll go and get the TWO missing achievements from the entire trilogy (1 from 1, 1 from 3 DLC). I own…

The internet has made virtually every fanbase toxic.

......ho...how is it like that? One’s real and one is purely a fantasy OF fantasy. Why do people get ‘emotionally invested’ over who has sex with who?

No, it’s a subset of fandom, but that’s arguing semantics. How does it carry “more emotional investment” by fantasizing over who has sex with who? I’ve never read one fanfaction - of anything - and I’ve never had a ‘ship’ fantasy and I’ve been borderline obsessed with more than a few universes in my day.

Fine, ship. It’s your choice. But don’t petition the CREATORS of the fiction to make your ‘ship’ (god, I hate that word) canon, and then get pissed off when they don’t.

Wow. Just, wow. I especially liked the part where you can’t wait for everybody 40+ to die. Oh, guess what though? I’d still be here, telling the youngins that a trying to be a professional gamer is not a viable career option. (As I wrote the original post I was still in my 20s, so...)

By getting rid of Jeff Fisher.

I didn’t say that he shouldn’t complete. I was more reading into the article and the writer’s persuasions to say that a chance at a prize winning is not a career. You have a much higher chance to play any professional sport than you are to make a living playing video games (people participating in event / people…

NASCAR and F1 racers as well as golfers come from VERY wealthy parents that allow their children to make a living playing a game. In the case of NASCAR and especially F1, these teams frequently hemorrhage money to keep their kid’s dream afloat. Can you make money playing eSports? Absofuckinglutely. The problem is you…
