Is AC3 worth playing at all? I've heard bad things, but I picked it up for like $3 a few years back so :shrug:

I'm not sure it's worth your time, its easily the worst game in the series.

Did we talk about the Tracer thing in here? Because that was ridiculous too.

Blizzard fans have the best reactions when they lose their poo poo so the whole thing is an impromptu schadenfreude holiday.

Red text is a good concept but most people that but then for people aren't actually remotely clever or funny so it ends up being terrible.

I'm probably gonna get a red text for saying that, aren't I?

Anyways, I'm playing Earthbound for the first time after years of putting it off. I'm already a little bit in (I'm playing as Jeff right now) but is there anything I should know going forward?

When you get to Fourside make sure Paula isn't carrying any cool items you'll want to use in battle.

Other than that you should be fine, the early going is the only real hump in the game and I don't remember any gotchas after Fourside.

Oh geez, looks like Square Enix is censoring their games by giving their female teenage characters thicker underwear. Truly the West does not appreciate true art
I love how gamers treat butts and underage girl panties as anything else but the cynical pandering for goon money that it actually is.

No, there's no perceived deeper meaning to it. They're straight-up upset that they're being withheld from being able to see women as slightly less of objects than the way they see them.

They don't even care in any 'real' sense as evidenced by the fact that they treat every single time it comes up as some sort of giant joke. It's just an excuse to take it to those fuckin' prudes.

Foreign nerds made that panties are being rendered invisible in the final version of Star Ocean 5. I think this was mentioned in the RPG thread but not in this one, so there you have it.

It is to say, more accurate that they replaced the panties with a big diaper or something.

rear end Creed 3 was bad because it had a painfully stupid story and a horrible protagonist. It will make you go "I don't think I know what is going on but I'm pretty sure it's dumb and maybe mildly racist" frequently.

The cities are cool though and probably feel more "alive" than any other game in the series.

If you've played any two console Assassin's Creed games, you can call it quits for the rest of the series. Like, some are better than others, but the formula is so strictly adhered to that you will miss nothing of consequence if you skip them. I say this as a person who's played AC1, 2, 2:B, 2:R, 3, and 4. Sometimes I look at AC: Syndicate but I know that it's the same old song and dance with a few new window trimmings. I'm glad they're taking a break for a year or two. Maybe when they come back to AC they'll bring some fresh ideas, or so much time will have passed that it will feel fresh, at least.

The best scenario is one where Armored Core makes a huge VR-assisted comeback and retakes the AC acronym. Then FROM can make a gritty dystopian game with giant mecha and call it Armored Core: Syndicate, bringing brand confusion to an uncomfortable head.

ac3 has a pretty bad story but you got to play bocce with george washington and run around beautiful new england. ac4 has an okay story of "i want to be a pirate and live for myself forever forget helping anyone. oh no my friends are dying all the time as Civilization starts to impose creeping order on our islands. also i saw a mighty moonman temple"

Because originally it was referring to the Assassins' creed of, "Nothing is true, everything is permitted."

"assassin's creed" isn't actually a person, it's their belief. "everything is permitted". the protagonist of ac1 is altair, of ac2: ezio, of ac3: connor, of ac4: edward kenway. i don't know where their butts are
