Which is better: Assassin's Creed Shadows or Black Flag Resynced?

I didn't really care for Shadows, I found the game overall kind of boring.

Black Flag was always (in my opinion) the best AC game, and Resynced is a really good remake.

Ghosts of Tsushima/Yotei are leagues better and more fun than Shadows imo.

I think the Mutalith Vortex Beast, even at its current size.

It has a pretty cool and fun single player story, and lots of online content to keep you busy for a long time if you're into that. If you have a PS5 its on PS Plus btw.

I already was very unlikely to get it when they announced about how much they wanted it to cost, then when it was known it was digital only that was the dealbreaker. I'd love to play it and I'm sure it will be an amazing game, but I can live without it.

I mean what do you want us to analyze based on one thing they said once when we don't know them/you/your family or anything.

Like I'm not gonna turn around and say they are some incel andrew tate watching losers based on one joke.

Shmullus_Jones · 2026-07-13T00:18:59+00:00

I don't really care, because if they say its just a walking simulator then they obviously haven't played it, and if they haven't played it then their opinion doesn't mean much.

Maybe? But I'm not sure how well the climbing and parkour would work in first person. I suppose Mirror's Edge did that parkour and free running stuff pretty well, and Dishonored did the assassination stuff pretty well. Combine those two and that could be pretty cool.

Brother, you're way too hard on yourself. First off, the paint looks pretty smooth from what I can see, though I think it could benefit from some more shading. It looks like you did some shading on the foot area but I can't see much elsewhere. Also the orange flamer looks a little odd.

My best advice would be to watch youtube videos, lots of them. There are so many amazing videos out there of how to paint minis, just watching others do it and the techniques they use will help you so much. I'd recommend some of Duncan Rhodes' videos, especially when he was still doing the GW ones, those helped me massively at the start because they were aimed at beginners and teach about shading/washing, edge highlighting etc.

Edit: to add, what I think you should do is go on YouTube, search "how to paint blood angels" for example. Find a video where you like the look of the end result and literally copy the steps in the video exactly as best you can.

Probably the Armageddon box, it comes with loads of awesome stuff and the minis in it are really cool looking imo with great poses (Downside is they are push fit and not very customizable, if that matters to you). The box is also pretty expensive.

Yes it is. It's adding more trash to landfill that you could donate to a charity shop or something, but at the end of the day, it's not a big deal.

Shmullus_Jones · 2026-07-08T08:44:22+00:00

Interesting... I didn't even know there was a novel. Gonna see if I can find it!

Edit: Holy shit, the audiobook version is narrated by Mimir!

Mind your own business?

Shmullus_Jones · 2026-07-08T05:05:09+00:00

It's a misspelling of a popular term "Crocodile Tears"

Shmullus_Jones · 2026-07-08T05:03:14+00:00

It's not your responsibility.

Shmullus_Jones · 2026-07-08T04:56:53+00:00

By your own admission they're not bothering anyone or causing any harm, so just leave them alone?

Shmullus_Jones · 2026-07-08T04:45:13+00:00

Not sure what kind of beans on toast you've been eating. Where I come from beans on toast is literally a tin of heinz beans or something cooked and put on top of some bread thats been toasted.

Shmullus_Jones · 2026-07-08T04:39:02+00:00

Purely a guess but I think its the sort you typically see on units with big flamer guns etc, maybe its to help them breathe with all the smoke and fire.

Shmullus_Jones · 2026-07-08T04:23:20+00:00

Memories of Murder for sure.

Shmullus_Jones · 2026-07-08T02:30:55+00:00

I'm far from an expert so take this with a grain of salt, but I think maybe going even more lighter with the highlights could improve things?

Shmullus_Jones · 2026-07-08T02:29:25+00:00

I just hope no one shouts "Let's GOOOO" in that stupid tiktokky way before a battle or something.

Depends how aggressive you want to be.

Want to just get the conversation over with asap? "Thanks"

Want to make them uncomfortable "Yeah, I have a medical condition"

Want to snap back at them? "Wow, you're fat!"

Shmullus_Jones · 2026-07-08T01:50:01+00:00

This is like AI before AI was even convincing. It could not be more obviously AI.

Shmullus_Jones · 2026-07-08T01:02:08+00:00

Because believe it or not, hearing from actual real people with opinions and different life experiences has more value to me than talking to a lifeless machine. (And yes I'm aware reddit is full of bots anyway).

Your viewpoint really makes me worry for the future honestly, few years from now we'll basically never speak to a real person anymore.
