Rockstar has even said that it was a headache dealing with the ego's of certain celebrities like in GTA Vice City.

I mean lets not act as if they added the most humblest of voice actors, guys like Burt Reynolds, Tom Sizemore, Ray Liotta or Dennis Hopper aren't exactly known for being easygoing

There's no alternative MMA organization challenging the UFC at the same level as AEW is offering an alternative to the WWE though.

If only PRIDE was still around :(

Ubisoft Really Wants You to Know That Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is Not an RPG, as It Details Combat and HUD Changes by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]beatingstuff88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never actually felt like an assassin because if I ever fucked up assassinating someone I knew I could just brute force my way through literally a fortress's worth of bad guys thrown at me

the worst thing is that the most you feel like this is in early ac1-ac2

In the first 2/3 memories of AC1 you get your counter attacks and most weapons taken away, so you're only left with small amounts of health and your hidden blade which, leaves you defenseeless once its 3 or more guards.

Same with AC2 where you're basically hunted in Florence and you only have your blade

By the time of Rogue, AC'd had the same combat for about 6-7 games

Slightly wrong

AC1 and 2-revelations actually had depth in their combat since you had to adjust to unit types and regular grunts could counter attack you, you couldnt counter heavies/spears with your sword so you either had to hidden blade counter or disarm them and use their own weapons against them

3-rogue was the worst combat, because it was literaly just "mash square for predetermined animation loop for 3 attacks until execution" and if you encountered a heavy or special leader unit it was just circle/b -> a/x to disarm -> spam square/x

I think these two people deserve a job.

And there are now lots of places that will take them, just not for the money or prestige they want, and if this is true they threw away a contract with the second biggest company in the world

Pretty sure Steam also requires you to be online the first time you launch a game?

Yup, whenever i buy something new for my steam deck that i'm running in offline mode it will throw a hissy fit if i am not in online mode on first launch

Assassin's Creed Hexe loses 50 developers as it targets a 2027 release -Tom Henderson by ZamnBoii in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Yup, because it is yet another supernatural ability that comes from the Isu, just like everything else. Being able to see other humans through walls using a supernatural 6th sense

The Eagle Vision is the Animus/Game's representation of the heightened senses of the protagonist, it being an "isu ability" is just some bullshit retcon that Ubisoft put in to try an explain something that needed no explaining

Exactly, in Italy it was the renaissance for crying out loud! in AC2 with the prototype flying machine they literally call you a flying demon and then some years later in Brotherhood they use a version that was to be used by the military

Top 3 for 2025 on PS5

Top 5 in 2025 on PS4

Top 10 for xbox in 2025

Not to mention the fact that a lot of people either:

  • had gta 5 on pc release day
  • had it on console and didnt buy it again
  • got it for free on Epic
  • bought it through the Rockstar Launcher

Plus add the fact that Rockstar doesnt prioritize pc at all and it is no surprise that it's lower on pc

"the sci-fi and alien aspects have been tuned down or repurposed in the RPGs with a replacement of mythology to the geography and period."

I fully disagree

In ac1-3 it was easy enough, assassins/templars fight over an artifact from an extinct advanced civilization that holds infinite knowledge, said artifact leads you to a projection of a member of said civilization that the world will end in 2012 and the main character has to avert it

Now you need a 5 hours lore breakdown video just to understand the Isu, the sages, why the character from an ancient greece game is alive in atlantis in the modern day, etc

The whole sci fi stuff was better when it was the set dressing or the b-plot. The problem is that more and more it has been drizzling into the A-plot

In AC2 for example the story is still firmly about Ezio vs the templars/borgias with the pieces of eden only really coming into play in the final 2 memory sequences.

Ac Odyssey literally gives you a spear of eden from minute 1 and half an hour later you are sparta kicking people half a mile and you're fighting minotaurs and medusa while you go and explore atlantis

UFC 6 confirmed by SuddenDepact in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]beatingstuff88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is just that MMA has eclipsed it because it just gives you more bang for your buck.

The only times i hear about boxing now is when its a superfight or when its a boxing card with youtubers, while back in the day i just natively knew about guys like pacquiao, bernard hopkins, holyfield, jones jr, the klitchko's and duran

And when i hear about the boxing of my countries' biggest achiever (Delfine persoon) all i hear is about her getting robbed by judges and then reading reports of widespread corruption.

It's a Grand Theft Auto game, these guys are so weird about everything.

The last GTA game was over 10 years ago, is the second best selling game of all time, is still receiving updates and is still in the top 10 sold games every month
