So you’ve been playing for weeks and haven’t played any of the story?

Yep. Assault gas mask. It’s actually fairly common. The outfit above is actually how I have all of my provisioners dressed — assault gas mask and traveling leather coat.

Fallout IV is Elder Scrolls VI!

That’s probably the best writeup/defense of diversity in AC that I’ve ever read. You said everything I wanted to say, except more eloquently.

Simple. Include an opt-in feature for targeted ads. That way, those who think it’s ‘creepy’ can opt out, and those of us who want to see ads for stuff we are interested in and might actually buy can enjoy that benefit.

Batman is too mentally ill to be a boyfriend. I’m not saying he’s a bad crime fighter. He is a great crime fighter. But that guy has some mental issues, which is what makes him Batman.

Correction: he looks like a sadomasochistic goon who would probably enjoy it a little too much when Batman knocks him out with one punch — oh, wait, that’s the Joker in a nutshell.

In 10-20 years, they’ll be saying the same thing about Jared Leto and the next Joker. Frankly, I think Jared is far closer to the comic version than Ledger ever was.

I think that’s what I like about it.

Nobody’s forcing you to buy the games, play the games, read the articles, or comment on the articles. Go be butthurt somewhere else.

Indeed. Of course, the same could be said for an open-world pirate game, period, before Black Flag came out. Hopefully, Ubisoft realizes that they’re in the position to basically print money here, and capitalizes on it.

Maybe they’ll polish it up and bring it back with their forthcoming pirate series — or maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part.

Those are essentially the gripes I had with the games following it. The characters looked plastic, the movement was slow, the gameplay and animations were awkward and stilted, the control mapping had no consistency whatsoever, and there was close to zero effort put into production quality, writing, subtlety, etc. I…

Just curious, what did you hate about it?

But.... what’s the point of parkour if you don’t get to see your sweet-ass moves?

Did you play it on the N64? I’m terribly sorry. I played it on PS1 and thoroughly enjoyed it.

MK4 will always be a classic for me. Every MK since has been a disappointment. They sometimes managed to be cheesy fun, but mostly they were disappointments. It’s a shame that they so wholeheartedly embraced the self-parody angle. It would be nice if they got their animation game together, too.

Still my favorite Mortal Kombat. The series hasn’t been the same since. Maybe I just outgrew it. Shame it didn’t grow up too.

Rogue already brought a lot of the Gangs of New York vibe. I was hoping for more weird, Tim Burton/Sweeney Todd eccentricity for this one, we’ll see if that happens.

Another day another assassins creed game. AC is like the fast and furious of games
