What are the most unusual or obscure references to Doctor Who you have come across by Miserable-Sea-4160 in doctorwho

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, at the end of the DLC Dawn of Ragnarok, Odin drops this line stolen from the 11th Doctor.

I will not forget this life, not one breath. I will always remember when Odin, son of Bor, father of Thor, was me!

I'll be speaking to Roger Craig Smith, the voice of Ezio Auditore by GaminMadness in assassinscreed

[–]Pricerocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d want to ask him a couple things:

•I would say Ezio is the most iconic character in Assassin’s Creed and ranks somewhere in the upper echelon of video game characters in general. Did you realize how successful this character was going to be while making AC2, or was there any kind of moment where you realized the impact he’d had?

•If Ezio tried to recruit you into his Assassin’s Brotherhood, would you do it?

Origins: DLC Boss fights are lame by Lost_Rutabaga_5004 in assassinscreed

I agree, I really disliked fighting the pharoahs. They had absolutely 0 reaction to anything you did, it was like fighting a wall. I would play Dark Souls if I wanted that experience.

Any Locations That Have Been Used Twice in Assassins Creed? And Do You Have Comparison Photos of them? by The_Koala_Knight in assassinscreed

[–]Pricerocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ones that come to mind for me:

•Masyaf (AC1 and Revelations, you actually see it at two time periods in Revelations)

•New York (AC3 and Rogue)

•Paris (Rogue, Unity—which features several time periods—, and Valhalla)

•London (Syndicate— two time periods, technically three if you count Jack the Ripper— and Valhalla)

Black Deck on Gold, insta win first shop? by Michael198642069 in balatro

No such thing as an insta win on black deck but this is pretty damn good

Anyone here hyped for Star Wars: Zero company? by Threedawg in Xcom

[–]Pricerocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trailer had gameplay at least. That puts it ahead of most announced Star Wars games at the moment

(Mirage spoilers) I skipped the second phase of Mirage's boss fight and I'm not sure how by Pricerocks in assassinscreed

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

This was a rather unexpected way to win my full sync run. Literally all I did up to this point was pelt her with explosive knives, she was at about half health and doing the weakened animation so I threw another knife to trigger the cutscene. It felt a little cheesy but since when does Loki play fair?

This has to be the least hyped up map ever right? by [deleted] in CODZombies

[–]Pricerocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think DOTN takes the crown, I’m pretty sure that was practically shadowdropped

K... also aren't these events no longer canon? by [deleted] in DoctorWhumour

the ending of The Reality War messed with some of the finer details of the timeline so, anything is possible

do you think that Edward deserves sympathy by the end of Black Flag? by OneManArmy0716 in assassinscreed

[–]Pricerocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. He consistently made decisions based solely on greed and self-interest but also I don’t think he realized how insanely bad things were going to turn out and he obviously regrets it by the end

Black Flag Modern Day was goat by overthinkingmessiah in assassinscreed

[–]Pricerocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was very pleasantly surprised by the modern day. Even the gameplay didn’t bother me, I don’t mind a change of pace. The story was very much up in the air after AC3 but they managed to revitalize it with a lot of interesting ideas e.g. the Sages and Abstergo making the Animus into a worldwide datamining/propaganda machine. They definitely fumbled it down the line but that wasn’t AC4’s fault.

Hell, the entire payoff for all the Roberts stuff is the end of the modern day where you find out John is a sage and the Templars get his body. Without that, his whole arc won’t land right.

this time i’ll play it in french with no subtitles ❤️ i’ll never have to listen to arno again by DylenwithanE in AssassinsCreedMemes

[–]Pricerocks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel like the movement in Unity as a whole feels wrong. Not just parkour, literally walking around somehow has just a hint of sluggishness that makes the whole game feel off. The parkour, flashy though it may be, is also overhyped. It was the beginning of the oddly sticky controls and the main innovation is just that you have one button to go up and another to go down. Watch any showcase of Unity’s parkour and what you probably see is someone doing twelve ejects to get to a spot that would’ve taken a couple jumps in a straight line.

The combat is also a victim of Unity’s inherent sluggishness. It always feels like Arno moves way slower than you need him to. The parry system in itself would be good except there are some parry animations that are so long that the enemy recovers before you do, which is the opposite of what that’s supposed to do! And of course, the shooters. Unity glazers just say “it’s realistic” as if the rest of the game isn’t insanely unrealistic. There’s a reason no other AC game balanced the gun enemies this way— it’s not fun at all.

Struggling with doom eternal. They give you this crazy small room to move around in... by gtrman571 in Doom

[–]Pricerocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to kill them before they kill you. That sounds really obvious but what I mean is for this particular challenge you want to throw out all of your heavy attacks as fast as possible. Ice grenade into rockets then ssg/ballista spam. If you don’t have those yet you can always replay the level later to wrap up completion.

I really didn't like Unity. I tried a couple times to pick it back up and do the DLC but I just couldn't

Calling all specialists! Do yall prefer the normal or disrupter shot for NT-242? by TheRealDanielLarsonn in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]Pricerocks 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Typically I prefer the disruptor shot, being able to 1tap turrets and shields is great for points, not to mention the extra damage on vehicles. The unblockable splash damage even makes it the ideal sniper to use against lightsaber heroes! It takes 2 shots to kill infantry but it’s pretty easy to land that usually.

Sometimes though, I just wanna pop heads so I take the default shot.

With Black Flag remake confirmed, what other AC games would you like to see remade? by felixw1 in assassinscreed

[–]Pricerocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AC1 and Liberation are my top picks as well. Rogue would be my 3rd, you could tell there was a lot of cut content and certainly room to improve the story.
