“New AI being Cortana Light is... well, it’s fan service”

What’s so annoying is that they wrote themselves into a corner with H5. It didn’t even have to be this way smdh.

There are some rumors (from a pretty reliable leak that you may have heard about...) that suggest that Spartan points are very, very similar indeed to the Doom 2016 Praetor Tokens.

I will always land on the side of never confirming internet theories if you haven’t already written it.  

Holy crap, I had forgotten all about indoctrination theory.

Your last point is completely correct. I don’t excuse bullying, no matter who it comes from, but you asked what I thought and I was honest about it. It’s probably the one genuinely complex part of his whole special, and the complexity has nothing to do with him.

I did watch it (honestly, I could’ve just read the transcript if I didn’t accept what everyone I know and trust was saying about it, but I’m enough of a bitch to be so fed up with everyone saying I can’t have an opinion without watching it, that I’d put myself through intentionally getting bullied just so the…

You can also just put X optimized games into “cold storage” on an external drive, they just won’t run from it. Eventually I see them implementing data management where you can just have it automatically migrate a large game you haven’t played for a while to external USB storage and vice-versa when you want to play a…

That sounds pretty awesome actually, I’ll check in at least once this week to pick it up. And the alien survivals are fun too.

Updates in the past usually included some new gameplay though. And there’s not much to offer here for a long time player who has most of the event rewards. Kind of a disappointing drop when everything new is just decoration (besides the arcade machine, which is cool but I’m not signing in just for that). Presumably…

Quick point of clarification:

The only thing you *NEED* either the internal storage or Seagate expansion drive for is to *play* “X/S Optimized” games.

You can still use standard USB drives to play XBox One and earlier games, as well as store the above “X/S Optimized” games.

So, for example, if you’re done with playing…

It’s a shame you just can’t have a conversation anymore about certain topics. When Dave had a black character called Ashy Larry, I laughed. When he did a skit on jury selection and show racism extends to blacks, I laughed. Clayton Bigsby (which was pure genius). Dave has never beenafraid to talk social issues…

The team that localized the original was primarily two people in 2001. Today, it’s an entire team that creates far more than the original did (the original translated the Japanese, then changed it to fit an American audience, but also tried to give some nods to its Japanese original like Kapp’n).

By people also playing the game, yes...not by spectators. 

That wasn’t easily available knowledge at the time. Back in the day, most of us kids just assumed “tanuki” was just the name of mario’s raccoon suit.

Though in spite of the raccoon assumption, I suspect that it escaped a localization change because having a raccoon turn to stone didn’t make much sense.

Localization like this usually happens when there’s some kind of a culture clash. Since most people outside of Japan don’t know what a Kappa is, it’s logical to brand him a sea turtle.

This ain’t even the only time they’ve done this in AC.

I love how these characters seem to have a history of surviving with each other before the game starts.

Holy shit, I thought I was the only one who felt this way about CE.

campaigns were all noticeably worse than CE
