When I bought my last car, it was the only manual on the lot. I think the only people that buy them in the US, are people that go out of their way find them.

true in the northeast at least. i have the power but i only get to use it on vacation overseas since i got married and had to share a car. when you start rolling back slightly at stoplights on hills or engine brake so that you slow down with no brake lights it confuses american drivers and i had one lady get out of her car and try to attack me because she thought i was loving with her back when i was a teenager.

Yeah they went right after Microsoft at E3 2013 and just showed that out of nowhere as their DRM policy. It was amazing.

I never thought I'd see Sony do something on par with their $299.99 mic drop at the original E3 but there it it PLUS they announced the price as $399.99 instead of MS's $499.99.

Yup. The entire e3 was pretty amazing for just how badly Microsoft dropped the ball and Sony just kept on putting the boot in.

I'll never understand people who think a bad game is better at half price. If a game were worth playing, it'd be worth 60 bucks*. If a game is janky, it's not worth your time.

* exceptions made for short games. Some games are quality but super short and an argument could be made for them costing less in some cases.

I can't believe anyone would be so desperate to have a game to play that they would spend money on Unity. I think games would get better if people would lose this mentality. Like if a game is total dogshit like Unity I wouldn't even play it for free. Why bother.

Yeah, there are cases where I think the price point is important, e.g. FF Type-0 should not have been a $60 game, but I still think it is worth playing. Unity is just a trainwreck, and acceptable at best - I could see it if it was the first game in a series and did a lot of things wrong, but at least was a new concept, but there are literally over 10 AC games out there and most of them are better than this one. Why ever waste your time on this pile of nothing, regardless of the cost?

I totally agree with this. And if someone likes a game that's fine. I just mean, I see this a lot with gamers where the gamer genuinely feels a game is crap and/or is 100% certain it's not their thing but will still drop $$$ on it. I mean that's like Steam's entire business model.

You obviously like the series if you keep playing them. Ask if the people waving you off feel the same. If you're in the mood for more of the same it's probably worth the $20 at this point. The worst of the technical problems have been patched out, as have the ridiculous dependencies on the mobile app and Initiates web site. What you're left with is a run of the mill Assassin's Creed game that has it's share of decent missions along with some spotty design decisions. Personally I thought it was a big step down from Black Flag but a little better than 3. It's entertaining enough to play through the story missions but not to 100%.

Also if you get through it quick Best Buy will currently take used copies for $17 .

I finished AC3 but stopped about a third of the way through Unity. 3 at least had the homestead thing and all the happy people there. I couldn't make myself care about anything happening in Unity, and I certainly didn't want to spend time grinding for non-lovely costume parts.

I thought the technical problems were very minor compared to the game design problems.

Nah, the vast majority of complaints always were over lovely frame rates and glitchiness, and deservedly so. The gameplay can get janky at times as it has always done in AC games ( :argh:

GODDAMMIT ARNO GET OFF THE BARREL ALREADY oh that guy shot you dead never mind then), especially with the changes to combat and stealth mechanics, and there is a dumb microtransaction system (which you can ignore completely), but Unity's biggest problem was that it was a complete trainwreck from a technical standpoint.

Yes, and as I said, I'll never understand that. I didn't say they shouldn't do it or they are idiots. Just that I don't think I'll ever be able to rationalize how that makes any sense. You want to do that, get Gamefly or something. Save some money.

I still look back on that E3 moment with really fond memories. That was such a devastating ice-burn on Microsoft.

(of course, it was also a crossroads moment where some really bad policies were about to be put in place and thank goodness we staved that off at least for now)

I think that if games want to make story a major focus then that is okay. They still have an obligation to be fun to play, so don't think i'm giving the Order 1886 a free pass or anything. But we've all been playing video games since around the time they were just a couple colors and some very large pixels. They didn't really have stories then, and games today are still not required to have a storyline of any kind.

I am getting hyped as gently caress seeing the Bloodborne tile sitting on my PS4 already. Agh, but I can't play it just yet. Soon. Soon.

I'm going to be testing out the PS4's ability to record and share videos for the first time, as Bloodborne makes me actually care about doing so.

Variety is good. There should be games that are entirely story, and also games that have absolutely no story.

SiKboy: Oct 28, 2007; Oh no!😱

I used to want games to have good stories. But I've played a lot of games over the years and there are precious few that have a story that is objectively at least"Okay" when measured against any yardstick other than other, worse, videogame stories. Now my main criteria is that the story at least doesnt get in the way of the drat game. Beyond that, gently caress it, developers and writers can do what they like but the chances of them ending up with a videogame story that is more compelling or better told or a more thorough examination of the human condition than "Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president?" is near zero. Just keep that poo poo from dragging the game down with long sections where the main character lowers his gun and slows his walking speed to a crawl with one finger in his ear while an exposition dump plays.
