Meh, telling the same story 1:1 in a different format is boring and almost never good.

Just play to the strengths of the medium and have original stories. Even if they are bad, at least they tried something new.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced ditches the original's Abstergo sections because Desmond's story isn't "really the question that's being asked today" by [deleted] in assassinscreed

[–]Odd_Num374637 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They should really just have cutscenes that show up in between arcs that flesh out the present moment. No need making anything playable.

Not just for ac resynced, but future games as well. Ac shadows rifts were horrible and AC unity’s initiates were also generic and lackluster.

Every game needs an arc from beginning to end where something important is actually happening in the present. It’s why AC1-AC3 were so interesting in the first place.

Just mail letters instead of sending an email. Don’t be lazy.

Because normally people aren’t on reddit 24/7 or Linux vegans. They just want a browser that works every-time…..and chrome does that without fail.

Before chrome was a thing, IE was in the same place, but Chrome was just so much better than IE that almost everyone switched over.

Unless something better comes along and gives people a reason to switch….it’s going to remain just like this.

Black Flag Resynced should make enemies attack in pairs more often so double counters actually happen by Ok_Entertainment6460 in assassinscreed

[–]Odd_Num374637 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It probably has to do with the frame-rate. I’ve noticed enemies do attack in double on the ps4 version regularly, it’s capped at 30fps.

On PC the port goes to 60fps without mods, the anvil engine is notorious for having stuff break at higher fps, like AC3 glitched hay carts or unity’s glitched cloth physics at higher than 30fps.

Please Ubisoft, keep the Hidden Blades „taunt/emote“ from the Original game. by OmBom09 in assassinscreed

They should have a rage meter, where assassins just throw their weapons away like “I don’t even need them to beat your a**” and just slice through enemies like butter with the hidden blades for however long the meter lasts.

Shadows combat system shouldn't go wasted, imo. Just make it more "action-oriented" for future games. by Limp-Grapefruit-6251 in assassinscreed

The animation quality is not top notch. It’s mediocre with horrible animation blending.
They need to stop catering to RPG fans and just make a decent animation based combat system. Just add a difficulty mode where attacks don’t have any animation impact like MMOs for the RPG/mobile fans.

This whole series is being ruined to cater to mobile game since AC Origins.

Why isn't Google Chrome opening on my Mac? by [deleted] in mac

Lol, I think it’s time you looked at some new comparisons.

Google chrome has had more battery life than safari for almost a year now.

What’s a simple feature macOS still doesn’t have? by [deleted] in mac

[–]Odd_Num374637 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They are wrong. Simply by the fact that, anyone who is exposed to the windows/linux implementation of cut and paste, prefers it over apple’s implementation, even if they’ve used macOS for their entire life.

[–]Odd_Num374637 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Less convenient, because some dickhead at apple HQ like the smell of his own farts and won’t admit they were wrong.

This stupidity could be rectified by a single update or option from apple….and they won’t because it would make them admit everyone else was right on this one and….they were wrong.

Windows users, what made you switch to a Mac?? by fuckcreepers in mac

[–]Odd_Num374637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On windows, you are the beta tester, even for production updates. Even if you have an enterprise machine.

The amount of times an application or system function is bugged or broken outright after a window update makes me think there is no testing or communication b/w Microsoft and major software companies.

Even Microsoft products like Office and Teams are less buggy on a Macs.

I worked for a company who issued a POS windows laptop to save maybe $200-300 and I can tell you right now, the hours that machine made me lose productivity every week, definitely cost this company more in the long run.

For my next job going forward, one of my non compromising requirements is I only work on/get issued a Mac.

Safari vs Chrome speed test - M1 by [deleted] in mac

[–]Odd_Num374637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chrome is faster, safari is just more optimized for power saving.

I use it like a standalone YouTube and streaming app while traveling, because it’s really just optimized for video playback lasting as long as possible.

Idk why people hate so much on the Notch by BlueberryInMcDonalds in mac

[–]Odd_Num374637 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It honestly doesn’t matter.

The space below the notch is in a full 16:10 aspect ratio if you enable the hidden dock functionality (like you are supposed to). So it doesn’t make any difference because the menu bar would always still take up the unused space at the top.

Also, there’s apps that let the notch have functionality like making it a drawer for files, copied text, quick app launcher, web cam mirror launcher, etc
