You know, I’m not completely instinctively opposed to this. As a huge AC fan, my main issue with the last few games has been how absurdly, obnoxiously large they’ve been. Playing them just becomes a slog, the much-mocked ‘map game’.

If Ubisoft can actually do this right, and take the opportunity to craft smaller, more…

If this ends up where you can pick different eras with different assassins, areas are added to support a story, and still single player, I can be ok with that. But if this ends up trying to be something like Destiny where there’s lobbies of people running around and you join each other on missions....I don’t think I…

Only one problem. It never happened. It was a complete fabrication. We lied. 

I must say I appreciate this article. This is good journalism and puts a lot of the trailer into context.

As a person who used to be really into ska music... I can hard relate.

I think you’ve now proven via logic what we’ve all long suspected: people at all levels of government with access to classified information actively withhold information from him (or otherwise play dumb with him regarding what information they actually have or can provide) because they know he’s unfit for office.

I’d love to see Nintendo do more 2D platformers in this kind of hand-drawn style (or something à la Rayman Origins). I’m kinda tired of the 2.5D style of all the New Super Mario Bros., Yoshi and other Kirby games.

This is genuinely really fucking awesome.

Blow in the cartridge...

I loved the a capella Beat It demo that came out a few years ago (see below); it’d be amazing if we got the Jackson Sonic 3 a capella demos somehow. Or a similar thing for Michael’s best hits.

It’s also explicitly a reference to Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles. There are graffiti tags for Barbelith, King Mob and Tom O’Bedlam in the gang’s hideout. Probably more I didn’t spot, too.

I wonder if part of it is also gamers getting older and having less time for difficult games?

Last game I had notes galore was Fez. And it’s a reason I loved the game so much because it had me scrambling for answers.

I don’t know man I am having about 15 different convos and they have all been pleasant and cool. I think we just need to stop talking about what divides us and start talking about what we all love, games.

No, I am using an argument from 2015.

I feel like you’re trying to be reasonable with people who (I hope) are about fourteen. Surely no self-respecting adult is going to degrade others because he doesn’t play video games “correctly”.

Mordin stands out as one of my All-Time characters in any video game. Absolutely loved his dialogue, wit, passion, guilt, action. Easily my favorite character in ME, he was ALWAYS getting run in my squads. I almost universally went with Mordin/Garrus to fk shit up.

I think there’s a sports themed Peanuts strip that’s relevant to this optimistic anticipation you’re experiencing right now.
