Absolutely. I played through AC1 - Revelations last year (two years ago?), and after about four hours just stopped playing AC1 and moved right onto AC2. It’s really terrible. AC2 is awesome though! The whole Ezio series aged reasonably well.

Something that I hope the new Assassin’s Creed rectifies is the exploration bit. That series pioneered some of the systems and open-world philosophies perfected by Zelda, but the only thing missing from the exploration was interesting reasons to do so. An AC game where the story put a focus on just exploring the way…

I’m sure you’ll be alright. I seriously considered doing the same, but manage to squeak out the willpower. I ended up using a tracking site and compared it with the online store. So I saw Walmart had 11 in stock. I clicked on he web link for that store and confirmed.

Bahahaha

Oh, good point! That makes more sense than my guess.

Nothing significant as far as I know. A buddy of mine is playing it on U and he said it’s still awesome. The perk of the U is that you can back up save files. I didn’t own one beforehand. As my friend put it, “If you have a Wii U, buy BotW for the Wii U. If not, get the Switch.”

Somehow got my hands on a Switch yesterday! Walmart by me had like 10 of them. I told the lady in elecontrics I was surprised they still had them in stock, let alone so many, and she said, “Usually they sell out morning-of. Don’t know what’s going on with these.” But my hypothesis is that people are holding off now…

I’d say if you want to, go for it. All my friends that have kids recognize openly the best and worst parts. The general consensus is that, “It’s really hard work, but it’s a lot of fun too, and being a parent has made me a better, more patient and understanding person.” Of course, nobody said those exact words to…

New Game Plus? Yes? Yes.

It isn’t a lack of recognizability, but the lack of sustained recognizability. We see this everywhere. Even addicts and alcoholics who’ve been sober for years often relapse because, “Oh, no I’m actually fine after all.” (Or, “last night was terrible, I need to quit” becomes “well, just a few” becomes puking in the…

The scariest part about crossing that threshold, in my experience (and in retrospect), has to be the goddamn certainty. I’ve never been more certain of any perception or reality than when I was at my worst. Terrifying. It’s one thing if someone shows up at your door and is like, “Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you were…

That thread at the bottom of the tweet, holy shit. It always cracks me up when someone’s like, “I don’t think it should matter either way,” and then proceeds to tell you why it matters to them.

If I game at all, it’ll be P5, but I’m probably going to binge watch. This week’s been killer and I need to not concentrate.

This seems less like censorship and more like a company making a judgment call.

Is it censorship though when a company is making a decision of their own volition? Like, they’re sitting around a table going, “Well it’s a play on light switches, but let’s take it out because American audiences will associate it with a hate group.” That’s not censorship, that’s just a judgment call.

Soooo why was this headline changed?

Uggghhhhh.

Yeah, it’s not like I’m gonna get an extra six hours to complete my second play through of The Witcher 3 when I’m 78.
