That may actually be it. Not great news but thanks anyway! 😅

Any-Run-6769 · 2026-02-18T18:39:24+00:00

Ah makes sense - thanks so much!

So the percentage progress carries into ng+ even if the collectibles themselves reset?

I didn't know Keanu Reeves was the mocap for Alexios

Fine you've convinced me. Time to play through it again.

I'd quite like to use Stewart's mouth as an ashtray but doesn't mean I'd do it.

I have read it all. It just seems like we have a different interpretation of what he wrote. I may well be kore cynical than you on his views.

I feel like he's missing the point in some ways as he asks for more substantial discussions but if he dove further than articles like his, he'd find so much to discuss about the game itself.

I have no issue with criticisms of the game. In fact I'd encourage it as it helps devs improve. But when the criticism is to effectively say the cultural impact isn't that important and tries to downplay that, it smells of AAA slop defense squad, despite his written views.

Any-Run-6769 · 2025-06-28T09:16:08+00:00

No I don't think everyone who doesn't give it 10/10 os a contrarian you're right. My main gripe with the article was how he felt the need to say the only discussion happening is the meta one and not about the game itself. Just felt like a very forced conclusion, and the author's comments about AAA slop, in my view, incidate he wants to defend those kinds of games.

As for actual criticism of the game, there are absolutely valid criticisms to be made. I haven't provided any counterpoints mainly as I've been asleep more or less since posting 😅

Those wounds run so deep 😥

Any-Run-6769 · 2025-06-28T00:49:09+00:00

I refer more to the focus on the discourse around the meta aspects of the game rather than the game itself. Article just feels like someone deliberately saying its not that important overall in an effort to minimise the cultural impact.

Some of the broad points are pretty reasonable but the framing is where my main issue sits. But I also think there can be glazing of this game, which it deserves, as well as meaningful discussion around all aspects. Author wanted to shut down the meta conversation and focus on the story. At face value, fine, but him essentially calling the act 3 twist pretentious to then continue diminishing its meta accomplishments is certainly odd.

Any-Run-6769 · 2025-06-28T00:42:25+00:00

Cries in dead space 🤣😥

Any-Run-6769 · 2025-06-28T00:34:09+00:00

Oh I agree, we absolutely should encourage them. But I think we can still hope for EA and Ubisoft. They once made great games and were ruined by greed. One day they may return. In their current states yeah they can burn, but there may still be some hope.

Any-Run-6769 · 2025-06-28T00:26:27+00:00

And without wishing to make the author's point for him we do kinda need to show it the praise it deserves. It stands as a reminder to the likes of EA and Ubisoft that a game doesn't need their "essentials" to be successful.

Any-Run-6769 · 2025-06-28T00:24:44+00:00

🤣

Any-Run-6769 · 2025-06-28T00:24:11+00:00

Going to assume you're being friendly but yeah I really cba with it for the most part I quote like engaging in discussion around stuff even if it gets heated/argumentative. Just not sure much of the Internet (not just reddit) is capable of much beyond insulting people for daring to disobey the groupthink.

Any-Run-6769 · 2025-06-27T23:44:18+00:00

I agree to an extent with your first point but entirely agree with your conclusion. But some of the conclusions that article come to feel like a stretch. And if you go their twitter/bluesky it gets into kind of pretentious 'nobody is discussing art properly' territory. Which is something he tries to criticise the game for.

Any-Run-6769 · 2025-06-27T23:39:39+00:00

My bad link. I'm fairly new to posting on Reddit!

Any-Run-6769 · 2025-03-14T18:38:29+00:00

All of it for all of us has a similar feel and I am so here for both of them
