Odyssey is canon but the canon story is Kassandra as the eagle bearer, not Alexios. The DLC ties the game to the rest of the series, Legacy of the First Blade leads into Origins and Fate of Atlantis ties in the other games in the series. Which was an odd choice for the DLC to be really lore heavy when most players…

You know what I miss?  A “future” narrative back in the real world that actually has some bearing on the plot.  With Desmond there was a real story going on, but now you just wake up in the same room a few times and maybe turn on a machine or something.  Ubisoft thought that we wanted them to cut all the future stuff…

I’m curious about this — with the number of people that have now been forced out, wouldn’t refusing to buy their games now at least partially just be punishing the innocent regular employees? It’s not like the corporation itself is a person, so at what point are the previous sins erased because it’s essentially a new…

pretty much all companies are mired in rape culture due to our society being thoroughly mired in rape culture. ubisoft is just the one that’s been revealed, for now.

“AC Unity, which is easily the apex of the series”

Finally someone who says Syndicate is underrated. I really enjoyed that game (aside from the insanely repetitive side activities) and the carriages gave it an almost GTA vibe. Austin Wintory’s score is great too.

This new AC Unity revisionist movement is so weird. The game deserves a lot of the hate it gets. It was pretty unpleasant playing it at 20FPS the whole time on PS4 (and even less before they patched it), the bugs are brutal and the stealth and AI is really out of wack. Paris is one of my favourite video game cities…

Who would want to be associated with a senile, racist, misogynistic, crass, corrupt, criminal TV president, who threatens public health and democracy? Also, Donald Trump is pretty bad, too.

I find it strange that people still have a hard time understanding that it’s okay for people to have different opinions on things. It’s great that you liked the game. Not everyone has to.

(...so I just finished typing this up and it wound up waaaayyyy longer than I expected. Oops... sorry. I wanted to say something about the series and definitely got carried away.)

The irony with the Reagan worship in 2020 is he would probably fall left of center today. 

Yes, let’s celebrate the compelling story of the whiny assassin who’s only motivation is to bang his sister. Let’s also celebrate the game that is so absolutely littered with garbage collectables and awful side quests that you can’t see the map underneath the icons.

Yoooo, Zack. I’ve been thinking about this since your HUD piece, because of that AC1 life bar. These loading screens are one of the few remaining constants in the series that dates back to the original. It really does tie in the actual game play experience with the out-of-simulation story that’s lingering in the…

You know what I miss? The damn puzzles as I still have fond memories of the Glyphs from AC2 and the fact those never came back is depressing even now.

Pretty sure you’re responding to Tomatoface, or a sad clone. It’s never a good idea.

Rep. Yoho’s non -apology states that he cannot apologize for “his passion, loving my God, my family or my country.”

I could never believe Bill molested Monica Lewinsky

There are so many men with wives and daughters and mothers who love them; and they still grow up to be a rapist, a murderer, a pedophile, a wife beater, a drug dealer, the President, a Senator, a judge, a business owner - sometimes love is not enough. 

This could be the stupidest kind of argument. I liken it to saying “I CAN’T be sexist! I have a MOTHER!” If this statement were true, sexism could not exist. Your family has no bearing on what goes on with your own prejudices.

“The offensive name-calling words attributed to me by the press were never spoken to my colleagues, and if they were construed that way, I apologize for the misunderstanding.”
