  • So Australia just had evil stray dogs that adapted to the extreme Australian environment like every other evil thing in Australia, meanwhile in Russia you got stray dogs riding public transportation and learning to scavenge and beg. It's all the environment.

  • #1 seller for me is the fact that the bumpers are better replaceable cause they're attached to the joystick board not the button board. That was the ibiggest pain for me cause when they stopped working on my first deck I had to send it in, and they gave me a new one wiping out all the software customizing I had done. I can feel the bumper going on my current deck a few months ago, it only works if you press it a certain way and one small jostle could make it stop entirely again and I'll need to RMA AGAIN.

  • I mean, valhalla did have every weapon under the sun, sure, but before unity you couldn't even permanently switch your weapon. Swords and hidden blade are all you had, other than utility items like maybe a gun or bombs. In some earlier games you could disarm your enemies and use their weapons, but other than that it was Swords. So with this being a 'return to classic AC' it's actually chill that there's only a couple different Swords and daggers to equip, rather than an arsenal. It's just not what this game was going for. Combat does take a bit to get used to coming from valhalla but I wouldn't say it's 'janky' it's just far more tactical. In valhalla or Odyssey you could murder entire fortresses of dudes like it was nothing in your combat gear, but this is going back to stealth. You wanna take out guys stealthily cause combat is much harder. You need to do your strikes precisely, parry and dodge at the right times, choose which envies to attack in order of threat and ability to take them out. I like it.

  • It's not even the lowest so far, it's the third lowest. Unity and Rogue where rated lower, and I get that. unity was a buggy mess on launch but is my personal least favorite even after they fixed it, and Rogue was basically a black flag expansion, which was fine. I don't think that deserved to be so low cause I found the story great, an assassin defecting to the Templar was exactly the sort of story the series needed to show, that not everyone sees the assassins as the good guys.

    Mirage so far is.. ok. I've done a fair share of exploring the map and I can say it's probably only the size of one of Valhallas expansions, which is fine, we paid a fraction of the price they charge for a full assassins creed game. Some assets are reused from Origins, which is fine, we're in the desert again. I'm not sure if it's just the shock of going from a fully leveled Eivor to a skilless unequipped Basim, which I experienced the past 2 games, or if this is generally harder than previous entries. Thr fact they brought back notoriety mechanic that was missing from valhalla, and also brought back the mercenaries hunting you from Odyssey, AND the fact that when you die your notoriety doesn't reduce, and while they brought back the stupid wanted poster mechanic, they are few and far between to rip down, and you need special tokens to bribe the town criers.... I'm liking the new challenge, keeps me on edge, makes me really think about whether I should kill a guard or sneak by.

  • Similar, I bought a pair of Bose earbuds 8 years ago. My dog gnawed on one of the earbuds when he was a puppy. 8 years later they still work and I still use em. Granted, only mobile device I have now with a headphone slot is my steam deck. Used to use them for my phone but they weirdly stopped making phones with headphone jacks.

  • Certainly when I was younger that was absolutely the case. I like to think now that I'm older I'm a little more of a free thinker. But ads? Specifically targeted ads? I don't stand a chance. If I see a game on sale that I'm mildly interested in or a new D&D source book that sounds cool I will buy it without regard for if I need that money for something else.

  • Ff14 is the reason my Backlog got as bad as it did. My plan was to quit after end walker but instead I never even finished the story and I hate myself for it cause I played since 1.0, but every time I go back I just keep thinking of every other game I could be playing instead and don't wind up playing more than an hour.

  • When I'm not playing baldurs gate 3, I'm stopping in on baldurs gate 1 which I didn't play back in the day(I only had 2), The original kingdom hearts, a second playthrough of final fantasy remake in anticipation of rebirth, outer worlds, midnight Suns, guardians of the Galaxy, star ocean the last hope, and thr ever present vampire Survivors and Binding of Isaac. I've been hopping games frequently recently.

  • 37, Eastern PA. I CAN drive a stick, but I don't like to. It's another distraction I don't need while driving. Can pay attention to all the other idiots on the road when not worrying what gear I'm in or when to shift.
