Still better writing than Watch_Dogs (not for lack of trying).

Does the game actually gain anything from being set in Chicago? It seems like licencing rights and the need to design a gameworld they were forced to piss away anything specificly 'Chicago' and make a GTA style knock-off city anyway.

Chip Cheezum posted:The best plans of uncles and hackers often go awry. I was willing to put up with the charade in the videos that Ironicus actually lives in Chicago as some kind of a joke or act like you've done in LPs before, but if you're trying to tell me you people actually think that Chicago actually exists and want me to believe that then you are a fool for thinking I am a fool. It's fine for the game to pretend that Chicago exists because its a piece of fiction but anything beyond that is the realm of pure fantasy. Rated 1, unsubscribed, get your act together sirs.

Spider Tank is super fun but it actually triggers my arachnophobia which is not super fun. Not enough love being shown for the history of Chicago video. Which for some reason reminded me of Drunk History. I really don't get these associations my mind makes, but I think it's trying to say Ironicus should be on Drunk History.

Guys there is another Digital Trip that is more absurd than Spider Tank. I didn't see it in the list when Chip was talking to the dealer so maybe it unlocks later or is pre-order exclusive or somthing? I won't mention it in case it does unlock later and people can see just how....strange it is considering you are playing as just Aiden himself. Speaking of the dealer, he is completely useless since you can access all D-Trips through your phone! The dealers are a remnant of when they were planning on having you actually buy them as like a pill or something i guess? But then one of the 10 million people working on this game goes "hey guys these minigames are kinda fun, lets not have the players have to search out a vendor to get a one time play out of them" so they dropped the mechanic but either didn't care or didn't have enough time to erase all of the vendors from the map before launch.

Yes, we all love Spider Tank. Spider. Tank. Two great tastes that taste great together, right? Well, but I have a bone to pick with it. Why is the Spider Tank minigame a 'digital trip' instead of, let's just say, an unusually realistic mobile phone game? This 'digital trip' clearly involves full on body-paralysis-inducing virtual sensations. Perhaps it's at illicit or dangerous levels, and it's regulated, but the technology clearly exists. That's fine, lots of science fiction uses that; I'm not arguing against it being implausible. But think about it: can you imagine how absolutely world changing that technology would be? What it would mean for the world economy, for the status quo? I mean, why go to Grizzlebees and spend money for that Double Pancake Hamburger Pie when you can just simulate eating it? Why work hard at anything when you can pretend to be anyone you want? Why date human females and create babies when you can engage in endless consequence-free depravity forever? Why go anywhere ever? Sometimes technophiles and phobes talk about how some inventions will change everything, but I don't consider it to be hyperbole in this case. Of course, that's why sci-fi that uses it normally has it play an important part in world. Again, it's not that these questions don't have answers. The problem is that this game is entirely uninterested in these questions. This technology doesn't seem to have any influence on the world of the game besides the minigames. (I haven't played the game, so I could be wrong, but it sure doesn't seem like it.) The problem is not that people would use this type of paradigm-destroying technological revolution for vidja james. People will use amazing technology for stupid things, such as me using the internet to bitch about stupid poo poo in bad video games. The problem is that the lazy narrative has the consequence that we must assume people are only using it for that.

...How the gently caress do Digital Trips even work in this universe? Aiden, like, tweaks his ear or something and then starts tripping balls. Is this Ghost In The Shell? Are we all cyborgs now? Because if we're all cyborgs I demand some actual superpowers up in this poo poo.

No need to think about it so hard. Still, you raise interesting points. My answer to that is that tech would be absurdly difficult to develop, so you couldn't use it for mundane things. But in a world where creating your own such trips was a normal thing... that would be a strange world to exist in. It almost feels like engineered solipsism.

I preferred Badboy17's voice over Clara by a long way. The voice modulation did a lot to actually aid the delivery, I guess just by hiding the inconsistencies.

I wanted to think of a way to thank General Ironicus without sounding like a tool but I couldn't. Somehow you managed to not sound douchy so I probably just wasn't trying hard enough. Great work Ironicus. I can't wait for the next one and it strikes a very nice feel between professional level editing, concise interesting facts, and a wonderful conversational tone that keeps me listening and not feeling like I'm in a classroom.

Spider Tank is a better protagonist than Aiden. "So, we finally meet, Tider-Spank89." "YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES TO KILL FIFTEEN POLICE OFFICERS" "Well you're not what I expected either." "DESTROY THE L TRAIN" "I don't trust you either. But I need you to do something for me."

The Chicago history video was fantastic! Well timed, too - I'm moving there in two days. I'm 85% sure I learned something, and 15% sure I'll repeat something that gets me laughed out of town. That faux-faced furrier looked immaculate, regardless.

I wonder if maybe the reason the grenades are on the grid is: They're made to not detonate within a certain radius of friendly guards, and to be disabled if someone incapacitates a guard and takes the guard's grenades. Like since they're in a city and not a warzone, the grenades are just packed with failsafes to not actually hurt people or be used wrongly. Is there anything in the game that gives a reason?

I worked on the official strategy guide for this game, so there's a lot of stuff in this episode of the LP that I'm not sure I can talk about. The NDA is likely still in effect. That said, I think it's pretty widely known that Ubisoft games in general are multi-national affairs: one part's by their Shanghai studio, one part's in Montreal, another might be in Milan or San Francisco or wherever. They have 29 studios worldwide. It's actually a little unusual for an entire Ubisoft game to be the production of a single dedicated team, especially ones that are this damned big.
