I don't understand your point but I'm well aware that it's normal in Europe since I live there. It's a policy that gives genuinely good artists a bit of support when they are just starting out but it unfortunately also enables a lot of talentless hacks. Politics aside you'd think Tale of Tales, if they had any merit, would've been able to secure funding outside of grants after releasing multiple games by now.

Shadow Warrior unfortunately runs out of legs quite quickly in terms of gameplay variety, and the limited backdrop of the levels do not provide any respite from the repetitive nature of the game. I had a blast for the first few hours but then nothing new came along and I was left to slog through the cookie cutter levels for far too long. I really shouldn't have bothered finishing it. Guilty of wanting to like it I guess. You hope that the sequel gets those things right or at the very least makes it shorter.

I just finished Telltale's Game of Thrones game, and Hahahahaha gently caress you Telltale, you lovely bastards. It was a pretty solid Telltale game, but it was literally half a story. In true GRRM fashion they managed to make a GoT entry that completely did not manage to tell a complete story. Telltale didn't leave you with a cliffhanger at the end of the season, they actually just stopped the story midway through. You wanna play a GoT game? The GoT rpg from Spiders is the best one, then this one. Those are the only two GoT games I know of, though. Telltale made a pretty Game of Thronesy game here, but managed to give a big gently caress you to everyone and decided that if you wanted a complete story, you'd buy the second season. Shitfuckers. Story-wise, this game sorta felt like an exercise in futility. That's not necessarily the bad part, tragedy can be interesting - the bad part was that it was incredibly contrived futility. All in all, what was there was okay, but it just wasn't interesting or captivating like TotBorderlands or TWalking Dead. By the end I was just like..."  ehhh yup that's over now, I guess".I'm not going to bother with season 2.

There is absolutely no build-up to that whatsoever but you should weep at humanity destroying nature for entertainment and you're guilty, you're playing a game you monster. It was such a cheap shot at profundity completely removed from the narrative and the game's esthetic that I could only laugh at it. Was this the game where you fly around and collect birds and triangles or something It was interesting, but I stopped because it was getting grindy and I wasn't that big a fan of Ecco, which it's pretty similar to Wtf, why is autocorrect autocapitalizing Ecco

Assassins Creed Syndicate early thoughts: It is pretty fun, and looks REALLY pretty. There are little splashes of color and texture everywhere. It seems like a little bit more of a stealth game than previous titles; enemies now are able to hear noises you make moving around or killin dudes. However, it's still trivial to clean up your messes if you get caught. My only complaint is that it feels like the game skipped a cutscene. On the way into London, Jacob is all, "I'm gonna found a totally bitchin street gang. With uniforms. We're gonna call ourselves the Rooks. That is my man child dream." Then, after completing my first post-intro mission, the facility I took over just got swarmed by like dozens of Rooks in full uniform. Like, the game just kinda skipped that gang getting formed  Other than that, though, it's been pretty cool so far.

Anyway, it doesn't distract from what I actually come to an AssCreed for, which is climbing buildings and getting historical figures to say Famous Quotes to me. I think the series hit peak "Forrest Gump" in 3, when Ben Franklin told Hatham Kenway like his full treatise on the benefits of loving older women, as though it was a prepared speech, just to make small talk when they first met by chance in town. The scene is fantastic, and Kenway is just kind of enduring it all, "Yeah, that's great. I'll keep that in mind, guy."

The first people Jacob recruited weren't blighters, but like the local gang that was being overrun by the blighters. They were already in green. Jacob comes in and is like "You work for me now." Pretty much like Branding in SoM Edit: They were called The Clinkers.

The main plot in London is good, but the modern day/ancient alien stuff makes no sense to me at all. The (spoiler for a "'bonus" area that opens later in the game) World War I stuff contains all kinds of dumb exposition from the alien ghost computer whatever.

Demos largely went away due to them costing more sales than they drew in for the larger developers. There could be a lot of reasons behind that, such as the game actually being bad, the demo being bad, the demo being unrepresentative and so on. This combined with the increased development costs and times, they've been cut by almost all of the big players in the industry.
