That’s a fair concept in terms or process. But the on the whole this feels deeply predatory. While Kotaku writers may not feel the sense of the game’s pacing to be pushing you to buy more, folks at sites beg to differ from that opinion.

Every review I have read for this game discusses the title as having a problem with forcing you to grind, a thing that has never been done in an AC game (according to reviews past 3, and my experience with games prior to 4), and expressly want you to pay extra money in order to keep up with the pace of the story.

WIthout any kind of hyperbole, the knowledge of these microtransactions, and how prevalent they are in the title, makes this a no-buy. I wanted to check out Origins when it became less expensive (I was burned by AC3 and haven’t played an AC title since), but the microtransactions seemed extreme.

Trasher:Skate and Destroy nailed skating way before EA’s Skate did.

Gran Turismo: best-selling PS1 game (10.85 million copies)

“They do not sell enough copies to be able to fund what they’re doing.”

Meanwhile....

Let’s be clear just because the bigoted, right wing assholes who will eventually flood the comments section have never heard of the atrocities Imperial Japan committed during WWII doesn’t change that they still happened and still affect places like Korea to this day.

The seemed to have shrunk the jaws of the character models, they look noticably smaller than their real-life counterparts.

DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM OR BUST!!!!

I’m about to report a serial rapist who I grew up with and once considered a friend, so... as far as I’m concerned, no matter your irrelevant accomplishments, if you’re a predator, you should be held accountable.

I mean, it is Canada. Either the cop was so patient because their handbooks aren’t laced with racism like in America OR this is an example of the handbook at play, luckily this guy is white, lol.

“We apologize for not allowing crossplay. Unfortunately, our gamers are too busy playing our vast library of first party titles instead of the same shit that’s on every other system.”

Nobody called the police on the suspicious black man scaling the balconies of a residential building? I mean, they didn’t even send him packing when they found out he was from one of them shit-hole countries!

Very fascinating. Considering you don’t own it nor can you resell it, you’re paying $20 for a 1 game netflix that they entirely control how it works for you.

Front Mission 4 and 5!

Sigh. I feel like I’m the only person that loved the older Persona games. The PS1 library was even more amazing when you take into account less popular, but still good, games like Persona and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment(for the sake of this argument, I won’t count P2: Innocent Sin, since it never released on PS1 in…

PSX. No contest. That was the absolute golden age.

Not counting digital services that make craploads of old games available, the PSX was the best. It had releases of classic SNES games like Chrono Trigger, FF5&6, etc, and then it had an absolute FUCKLOAD of RPGs of its own. Lunars, Xenogears, Azure Dreams, Suikodens,…

I have my hands full calling out white people for racist, bigoted bullshit. I’ve generally tried to stay out of discussions about why a few people of color try to be “one of the good ones,” but I am familiar with the phrase “colonized mind.” People respond to oppression in some crazy ways and I think some are under…
