For some reason I thought it was only in a war context that the Red Cross symbols were protected, but it makes sense to have a blanket rule especially now that wars are never declared according to the proper rules :dungeonmaster: Regardless, your video game violating the Geneva convention is pretty funny

Farecoal posted:The Red Cross (the symbol) is a protected symbol under the Geneva Conventions, and they don't like it being used in video games (they've been pretty lax in the past about it tho)  (the kind of thing that Nintendo probably enforced in America but nobody actually cared about in Japan because no enforcement)

It was irresponsible enough to plop into international news, I think around ~2008?

The punchline is that "it's only a war crime when others do it" is official US foreign policy and has been since World War 2.

I don't understand why they made a remaster of the most boring AssCreed. Why not 4, or 2?

4 and 2 are already available on current gen. 4 was a dual release, 2 was remastered as part of the Ezio Collection bundle.

Rogue was also remastered last year so it's not surprisingly to see 3 (along with Liberation) get redone as well.

How well is that remaster selling, anyway? Anybody know? I've seen it around, but, well, I already didn't like it a lot even the first time around. Kinda like most people, I guess, which makes me wonder.

It's important that you can buy Watching Paint Dry: Colonial America Edition on whatever box you use, but a more pertinent question would be; would you want to?

I like Assassin's Creed a lot, but AssCreed III is (was?) incredibly bland and boring.

It doesn't really sound like it ought to be, really, at least on paper... but the thing with Asscreed games is that they're really only at their best when they play to their strengths, and that means means having big and beautiful cities to run around and be an rear end in a top hat in. Big and beautiful cities is something colonial America just kind of lacks. A little. Black Flag makes up for it by being 50% Sid Meier's Pirates! by volume, but that's enough to still have it work. That, and Connor is really just kind of a non-entity compared to the colorful personalities of Ezio and Pirate Boy.

 I wonder what the protagonists of other AC games have in common that Connor doesn't.

Dunno what you're trying to get at there, but "they actually had a personality" seems like it would be answer enough.

Rogue definitely sold less than AC3 did and was not a good game. I recall more about Connor than Shay honestly - I had to google just to remember what his name was. I mean seriously, what WAS Shay's personality? But none of this talk is a game glitch, fortunately NPCs showing up unexpectedly in cutscenes happens in multiple AC games!  Here's one from Unity:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DzsFMsIZPM
