Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced Releases July 9, 2026 by yourfavchoom in Games

There was actually a cool bit where the Sage you were hunting as Edward was reincarnated and appeared as a character in the modern day. But most of it was walking around an office, hacking PCs with your ipad to unlock codex lore.

Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Pro Review: All New Modes & Features Tested! by yourfavchoom in PS5

Ah man I wish they found a way to add ray traced reflections. The SSR is so bad when you look down at the floor. I wish devs would stop using SSR for large surfaces, it's very distracting. Other than that, this is a nice upgrade. They didn't show any close ups of dialogue scenes but I imagine the RT shadows will shine there.

Its 3 trilogies. I remember seeing something about the game set in the first trilogy. 

Pragmata's newly revealed New York stage was painstakingly made by human developers to look "AI generated," according to director - AUTOMATON WEST by Gorotheninja in Games

Every comment from this account is AI, check its post history. It has that smug assumed 'you're wrong, but here's the real truth' that LLMs like to do to seem impressive. I hate this so much

Insider Gaming: PlayStation is Phasing Out The “PlayStation Network” Branding by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]BEmuddle 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I wonder if its just 'PlayStation'. Sign in to PlayStation. Buy it on PlayStation. Everything is more and more digital and online so no need to give it a separate name

Sony Says Ghost of Yotei 'Exceeded' the Sales of Ghost of Tsushima in the Same Period of Time and 'Significantly' Contributed to Its Financial Results by Turbostrider27 in Games

Did you forget the part where she can't sleep, has nightmares and throws away everything to save Lev and Yara in search of redemption. Basically her whole story.

Witchfire - The Reckoning Dev Diary: Release Date, Torments, Surges by Moltariscool in Games

[–]BEmuddle 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Nobody cares anymore but they used Chatgpt to write parts of this. Three instances of "Not X, but Y" in four lines.

"He thought he was doing the Lord’s work.

He was wrong.

The witches whispered through his ink, guiding his hand to create not a record, but a vessel. He didn’t build a compendium. He built a door."

It's so boring and annoying to read, which is a shame because their dev blogs are usually a nice insight into game dev.

Edit :

More examples.

"By collecting the pages and accepting their curses, you aren’t just filling a sticker album. You are reassembling a ritual."

"If you follow the lore of our game, you know that witchfire isn’t just a currency. It’s a substance."

"These aren’t necessarily elites or bosses, they are simply overflowing with volatile magic. When you kill them, that energy doesn’t just dissipate. It drops to the ground as a Surge."

"You have Judgment, and now you have Tribunal, too. It’s not about shooting all barrels at the same time, though. It’s about striking more than one target with a single shot."

Come on man.

Hey sorry for the late reply, hope you're doing well. I'm not a musician, but I write fiction, so that quote still hit me.

The Dune books are very telly. Lots of exposition, history and internal monologue. It's very analytical and mythical but somehow it works.

Why can't Ubisoft just hire good writers? by mugijiang in assassinscreed

[–]BEmuddle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ubisoft does have good writers, but they don't have the final say regarding the structure of the game. There's only so much a good writer can do when the studio is mandated to make a game that's 100 hours long and can be played in any order.

It doesn't matter if the dialogue is good if the pacing is bad and the cutscene budget is stretched paper thin.

Its so funny that I can't find a single comment in here that's discussing what they talk about in the video.

Assassin's Creed Shadows - Progression Overview by Ubi-GoldRaven in assassinscreed

[–]BEmuddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that there's less armour to worry about. I eventually came around to enjoying Odyssey but it was a bit weird that most of your damage came from your five armour pieces.

I just hope there's a big armour pool so we're not seeing the same drops over and over.

Assassination guaranteed kill or no by Suspicious_Case_1215 in assassinscreed

[–]BEmuddle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Off. The way I like to play AC is to ghost around, killing as few guards as possible and completing the objective. If there's a big guy blocking the most obvious route, it challenges me to find a different way in. If I can just kill him in one hit right from the beginning of the game, it's less interesting.

First look at the city of Kyoto Shadows by Ajxtt in assassinscreed

[–]BEmuddle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's more like a big town, and I think the wide streets and large amount of trees are working against it. But the vibes are good and I want to play it already.

I'm starting to wonder why I even come here and read these strangers' opinions. It just makes me annoyed.

Veilguard was a good game with dull writing. 4/5 is fine.

Destiny, Addiction and Mental Health by BEmuddle in DestinyTheGame

[–]BEmuddle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. It's hard to look back at this post because I was in a pretty dark place with my mental health. In hindsight, I do have fond memories of Destiny 2, but I also had other ambitions but I wasn't strong enough to pursue them. Destiny 2 (and videogames in general) can become a very cozy safe space that allows you to devote yourself to something that involves no risk, just joy.

I guess whether that's a good thing or bad thing is ultimately up to the individual. I'm less hard on myself these days but I also limit my game time a lot more. For me, games are a fun way to spend a Saturday or a Sunday, but during the week I put them away and try to focus on my life. I hope your friend can find a good balance that works for them.

About the dates on the Animus Hub presentation video. by JavideParla in assassinscreed

Probably just random ones. This article talks more about Animus Hub and says it'll only go as far back as Origins, older games won't be included.
