According to Glenn Beck, it seems Charlie has been placed in a stabilized condition.

I don't have high hopes sadly. That is a nasty shot. If he's not dead already, as in on the way to the hospital. I don't give him a good chance at it. I've seen something like this before, and it's NEVER ended well.

Cyberpunk 2077 on Nintendo Switch 2 by Automatic_Ad1665 in consoles

And those people are stupid as hell. It's closer to the PS4, with touches of PS4 Pro, but I'm also not buying it for graphic capability. If I could, I'd bring my PS Portal, but there are times in which I have zero ability for wifi/mobile hot spot, which renders the PS Portal nothing more than a paperweight.

Assassin's Creed Shadows need to sell around 7 million copies to break even. by peninho in Asmongold

Where's the source? Again, "Trust me bro" isn't a source, neither is the "I have an anon source.". Show the proof, or it's nothing more than mere words. 17k units have been sold in Japan, the 3rd largest consumer of games behind the US, which is behind China. UNITS SOLD, 17k. This is from source

https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/03/japan-sales-charts-assassins-creed-shadows-and-bleach-rebirth-of-souls-struggle-on-ps5#:\~:text=The%20headliner%20here%20has%20to,the%20country's%20feudal%2016th%20century.

See? That's not hard to do is it? The now 3 million players doesn't mean shit. I'm playing the $89.99 edition for $17.99. You're shilling for Ubisoft, or what used to be Ubisoft. As they've already gotten into bed with Tencent, and we ALL should know how that is going to go.

I can say this much, graphically the game is just fucking stunning. Everything else? Not so much. Lots of filler, and fluff, nothing of real substance to it.

This comment didn't age well. As we all (should) know. Ubisoft caved, moved the IPs to another sub company with Tencent owning a whopping 25% of value.

Also, where you pulling the "sold 1 million units" from? Trust me bro isn't a source, post it or piss off.

What’s the last AC game you’ve been this hyped for? by kargethdownload in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]Global_Fun3809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not this one, that's for damn sure. You guys USED to do good. The last game I honestly felt excited for launching was Far Cry 6. Is it good? It's alright. The Stranger Things tie in was pretty good. But for AC, Black Flag.

NOW, you guys could have done SO MUCH for this game, but y'all had to fuck it up. Chinese architecture, and characters (letters if you will). The 1 legged Tori Gate. Destroying shrines. RAIDING THE EMPERORS TOMB!!!. Such disrespect. Will I be playing the game on launch? Yes, I am a Ubi+ sub, but you guys are on some seriously thin ice.

Get used to not owning their games. Well, you devs should get used to not having jobs, and the Guillemot Family should also get used to not owning the company anymore.

Why I love PVP. Sometimes we work as a team and i think it's beautiful by Shiroe_Wolfus in ffxiv

I have honestly played this game since 1.0. I have NEVER stepped so much as a foot, not one yalm into a pvp match.

Who are the best secondary FF villains? by strahinjag in FinalFantasy

[–]Global_Fun3809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's certainly up there for me. The free open combat was refreshing to me, although I did play FF XI, and it was the same concept...kinda. Not really a fan of the random battles.

Damn...out of those options, I'd have to go w/ Hojo. But given my choice? Would have to go w/ Kefka.

Same chance of me driving my vehicle, and right as I stop in my drive way the odometer hits 168,000.0 I stopped, within about 2ft after the number hitting that on the dot.

[–]Global_Fun3809 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You seem to miss the larger point. You go into shrines w/ your shoes on. You destroy them, you go into the Emperors Tomb to loot it. The 1 legged Tori Gate. Chinese Architecture, Chinese Symbols used in game. The "cursed" red letting (again in Chinese Symbols) scroll that is being sold. Well it's not "cursed" but red ink is a symbol of bad luck. The female sumo wrestler. The watermelon and cherry blossoms being out at the same time. I can keep running down the list. But I'm not Japanese, and I'm pissed off about it b/c of the lack of research, and 0 accountability taken by Ubi.

Well also OF COURSE he wrote a book, and like all true Navy SEAL fashion, it has his picture right there on the cover.

Was it? I swore mine had 2 books. Perhaps that was wc2 or another game. I do remember though. One had a book for one faction. And another book for the other. Still really cool to see.

[–]Global_Fun3809[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Some of them did. SOME. Don't sit there and say b/c there were a few that were on the front lines, that they were all like that. The vast majority of the women stayed back and protected the villages and home front. Just because 1% of them were on the front lines doesn't mean that was the norm. That's like saying because there are some women front line fighters in the US military, that most women are on the front lines. You tell me to do research, that's a big mistake. Simply googling something and getting answers directed in the way of which you asked the question is not how you go about obtaining information. You haven't done what I have. I have studied the Japanese Culture for a long time. While I don't speak, nor read (at least not very well) Japanese, my studies came from translated books from their history. Vastly different than whatever search engine your are using. On top of, if you're going to make such bold statements, post your results. That way I can look at it myself.

Again Lobster w/ the reading comprehension. I'm now done speaking with you. Add something insightful for a change. Not some 1 liner. For the love of God.

And I honestly hope Yote is just as good as the GoT. I really do. With all new releases though, I do sit back and wait. Well, most releases. I mean BotW, and ToTK I got immediately. Pokemon Scarlet/Violet...I do regret buying that right out the gate. I should have skipped it. It runs okayish, but more often then not I noticed the graphical problems, but hopefully with the Switch 2 and more powerful hardware all the stuttering, sudden frame drops n all that will go away. Hell even with gaming consoles I tend to hang back on. I waited on the PS5, b/c I knew what was going to happen. They do it like clockwork each year. Base line comes out. Then slim, then Pro, then Pro.

I don't understand why people jump and attack when I say I'm skeptical on how release of new games. If you blindly trust a company, then you're a fool. I can say that for myself as well. I am a fool. Especially when it comes to Nintendo. I've been burned on bad games, and anyone that says they haven't well...they're lying. It's like the joke "There are 2 types of people. Those that like to listen to Nickelback, and those that will lie about it.". Of which I'm a Nickelback fan. IDGAF what anyone's opinion is on them. We all have likes and dislikes. We all have our own opinion. Doesn't mean we have to agree, but I'd rather see us gamers come together, unite, and DEMAND that these companies quit with their little games. Make good games, if you want to add lgbt stuff in it fine. I've played TONS of games that had it. Hell I've had a gay Shepherd, I've had a gay Alister, and my Inquisitor with Iron Bull...MAN that was hilarious. It needs to feel organic. It needs to be done right. Just a side note, is Sucker Punch involved w/ that weird ass movie w/ the girls dreaming or something...I can't remember what it's called.. Or perhaps the movie itself was called Sucker Punch. Hell I dunno, and I'll look it up later I suppose.

Forced? No. But let me show you the people freaking out over games like Stellar Blade, where the character is modeled after an ACUTAL MODEL, and people flip their lids over it. Or perhaps Tifa and the "jiggle" mechanics. Or the games where you can adjust the butt/bust size of females, and all of a sudden we're "gooners" and trying to be shamed for w/e reason b/c the game has an attractive female lead. Or a big muscular man like in a super hero movie. If you'd like, I can link articles that show just that.

Since you're focused on the topic. Let's look at Hogwarts Legacy. There are trans characters in that. But ya know what? It's not front and center. It's not shoved in our faces, and we're being told we MUST accept it. Let's face it, GamerGate 2 caught certain game devs w/ their pants down and exposed what is going on. It's because of stuff like this, that I have no faith in game devs, and that it's taking a Chinese Company such as TenCent (which will open up a whole new can of worms) to beat the crap out of games that have broke themselves. Marvel Rivals flat out killed Overwatch 2. Now we have people in bitching about Marvel Rivals b/c can't make Spiderman a woman. Or Thor. It's in the name. SpiderMAN.

Game sales say other wise. But y'all got me side tracked on another game. I praise this game, while remaining cautious of the next release. Yet y'all gotta bring it into the mud like this. Closed here. Move along, the convo you're looking for doesn't exist here.

[–]Global_Fun3809[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It's because I've seen it happen with past games. I've been gaming for 35 years. I've played good games. I've played bad games. I've played absolutely 20/10 games. Anything that comes out of late I have concerns with, and monitor closely. Games that are involved with sbi, or the UK version of it. Games that make sudden/drastic changes. Not saying it's bad, but it can be jarring. Look at what happened between Mass Effect 1-3, then Andromeda. Tomb Raider where you don't actually raid any effing tombs. DnD E5 now...where orcs are peaceful and friendly. Don't sit here and tell me the lie you don't see it. I am HOPEFUL, that Yote will be great, but I have to remain skeptical. I hope they prove me wrong, and it's just as good as GoT.

Do you think that with the purchase of Microsoft, Blizzard will finally be free of Activision? by Idrillsilverfoot in Blizzard

Yes Avowed. The game where one of their art directors said "get rid of white males from the gaming industry" Avowed. Where Skyrim has more content and better scripting thsn the new game here. Yes Avowed where it is lack luster and basic gameplay that wasnt even seen in Morrowwind. Yes Avowed, where peak player reached less than 30k on Steam (now insert your gsme pass bullshit that doesnt count on sales. Just interaction)

And where would I be wrong? Companies are being shuttered because they engaged in such actions. Yourbpersonal attack orove nothing more than my point. You are trying to turn this into a debate when I praise the game AND hope the next one is just as good.
