I had a lot more fun with the little demo Sniper score challenge game for Absolution than I did with Absolution

Am I Understanding correctly that there are only 6 levels in the game and you can only play one of them now? Is that accurate? I swear to god a civil war is brewing in this country.

Two training levels and one actual big one... Pretty dire at the moment, even though there's a lot of ways to kill the targets (I think there's about 15 'special' ways to kill each one aside from just straight up shooting or garroting them without any special tricks) The custom mission maker stuff is kind of cool but there's only a handful of really interesting targets to designate because the level is really designed around the two base targets.

To address your other point, yes, the next American civil war is almost certainly going to begin later this year, and unfortunately there's a lot of propaganda being released which tacitly encourages people to take up arms against their countrymen (Tom Clancy's Division and Captain America Civil War just to name a couple... Unfortunately the people posting in their respective threads are convinced there's no agenda, so it would be a good idea for people to go into those threads to let them know they're wrong)

Chuck Buried Treasure posted:

I don't understand how all the always-online stuff everyone was complaining about works. Will we still be able to play the regular missions when the plug gets pulled or is the whole game going under?

Apparently they're looking to sell IO, which may or may not include its IPs. I won't get too optimistic but there's a slight glimmer of hope.

Lots of people complained when the plug got pulled on MAG, and that was back when it was struggling to keep enough players online at once to start a 256-player match. I have a feeling that suddenly rendering a game that came out less than two years ago, which has received immense praise and is owned by millions of people across 3 systems, completely unplayable forever due to corporate shenanigans would be an enormous controversy and deal a huge blow to the credibility that SE has been trying to build (WAY worse than the blowback for Thief '14 and botching DE:MD)

Making a beloved and very recently finished full-price singleplayer game unplayable forever would probably be one of the most unwise decisions in gaming history, and I don't doubt Square Enix will do just that. Sucks
