I dunno what he expected. I'd consider it flattering if people deemed my work worthy of their own creative time to produce things like this. It means you made characters with lasting appeal across the spectrum...kinda.

You're thinking too far into just throwing armor on regular martial artists. You could say fencers don't have anything to fear from those thin swords and they've got face shields so why not go nuts.

Because people like it. It wouldn't be so widely used if people didn't like it. I personally like motion blur.

The only reason I think not is because it's not set in ancient Rome which was old tired and done to death long before Ryse came along. At the very least I expect the lore in this game to be pretty interesting. I'd probably compare it more to the first Assassin's Creed if we're going for an unpolished but still…

It's a meat cleaver, not a gun. In a place that crowded and a place with security guards, injury would be minimal. Not to mention the security guard at the scene was pretty quick to act and clearly quite vigilant. Hell, if the knife had been a stabby knife and not a chop-chop knife it would have been more threatening.…

OP said "nice gimmick" I don't see how someone saying op doesn't know what he's talking about makes sense. In this context the guy is saying something nice about the game and old boy decided to say the titans are not a gimmick. They are a gimmick and a nice one at that.

You don't know what the op is referring to. He said nice gimmick. There's nothing negative about that.

Cute.

Ironically I don't think you're familiar with the word. A gimmick is something used to attract attention. Regardless of if it's a big integral part of the experience. There's no inherent bad meaning behind the word, people just tack that on in the gaming community.

If they want to make her the new Cloud then fine, more power to them. But we don't need any more Lightning centered Final Fantasy games. On the flip side, I hope this means they'll be more inclined to have decent female leads in more of their projects going forward. Right now though I think we could all use a bit of a…

Everything you said I can easily say back, minus the bit about murder and whatnot. You're not arguing, you're protesting. For you, the ends (unwanted children who grow up in unwanting homes) justify the means (forcing mothers to carry the burden or be socially shamed and shunned). Now I can sit here and argue on…

Err no. Dunno if I said it in this convo string but I have a daughter. The worst we were shaken by here arrival was a day or two where we argued over stupid things. Those however were followed by talks which lead to resolutions and new understandings. There are a ton of situations that can be avoided or prepared for…

True dat. It's all a matter of preference. I have a friend who vehemently opposes things like costumes in fighting games or League of Legends whereas I like to drop a few dollars now and then and indulge myself. It's not like he's poor or anything, he just doesn't see the point. In my case though I look at it as a…

Lol okay barring the elephant heavy irony of that last sentence, I'll try and make this simpler to understand. You ever play a game on a weak PC? Try checking out the differences between say, ultra settings and bare bones booty butt low settings. Sure you get high frame rates but at the cost of everything else. It's…

It's called upscaling. Also the higher the resolution the more work a console has to do. More work = potentially less resources available for keeping a stable frame rate which is pretty important. Trying to talk about whether or not effort was put into something when you clearly don't have any idea what you're talking…

It really comes down to experience and cohesion. Play with a group of people you usually play with and go into it with at least a loose plan and things will be a lot more interesting. Given enough time there are countless things that could come about in the meta such as a dedicated split pusher or groups running…

If it becomes popular enough I think they were talking about making it it's own official mode. Might even get it's own map, that rumored desert themed or void themed map would be nice.

They're waiting and seeing what other developers are doing with multiplayer coop shooters. Destiny is looming big on the horizon and there are a couple PC shooters (like Firefall) that are dabbling in the shooter/mmo realm.

Assassin's Creed is actually in a fine position. It's heavily lore driven on top of it's gameplay so there is plenty to keep people coming back on a yearly basis without them having to worry about saturation.

While I agree that this kind of DLC is the best kind, I have to disagree on cosmetic stuff. Depending on what the game is, things like costumes and other cosmetic items can be pretty cool not to mention absurdly profitable. I'm with you on the single character/weapons/single level thing though 100%.
