Reality vs Adventure

I don't know what's going on, but I tried my saved game on my new system and so far it's worked. I just have to wait and see if it gets corrupted again. If it does, then what? What exactly is causing it? Are you playing on ps4? I was at the Blessed Are the Meek story line. Somewhere past it exploring. So its not too far into the game. I'm thinking about starting a new story up to that point, then start my saved game again with all my collectibles and stuff. Do you still have that weird halloween shit in your game?

Just got Skyrim. Once I finish Witcher 3, I'm gonna be in need of another epic fantasy. Ahhh, my body can age, but I'm sure glad I found something that keeps me happy. If we all did that, I don't see how there will ever be another war.

I have patch 1.26 installed

Say what what what? What did I miss? I have RDR2 all set and ready to go with the latest update after having corrupted files twice. Is it that update that caused it? I have my old data saved and ready to go on it too. Now I'm scared. It wouldn't hurt me as much to just start over, but damn. I found some gems that I don't even remember where what was.

Some ideologies simply don’t deserve the platform. You have a lot more faith in humanity than I do. Stupid and evil vs misguided and misinformed; it is all mixed together. Come stay in the USA for a week and then try to say that. Cause we surely are witnessing the stupid, the evil, the misguided, and the misinformed. In extreme cases of immoral ideology then I am probably right. In moderate ideologies then you are probably right.

If an idea we know is completely wrong, we shouldn’t give it purpose and then try to debunk it. If it’s dirt, let it stay at the level of dirt. Because you can guarantee that if they did set a really bad ideology on equal footing, then some may begin to be persuaded into thinking what is actually wrong. It could have the opposite effect. Some people are walking around just looking for answers. Looking for a reason. Looking for that argument to justify their nonsensical ideology. And if a video game displays it in a way as to put something bad on equal footing, they’ve already lost part of the crowd that was looking for what they needed. Then they shut down after that; instilled in their refortification of their view. Even if the game debunks it later, they will be left asking “what if?” For example, it’s like saying lizard people are here among us. There are people who actually believe that. Now make a game that puts that belief on equal footing with all plausible arguments. Now those real life people that believe in lizard people have extra arguments to reinforce their beliefs. Because they were only looking for that reason. And if they believe that, what makes us think that others can’t be persuaded who didn’t believe it in the first place? Even if the game debunked it, it still has left the seed of legitimate debate in the minds of idiots. But you brought up a great debate in itself. To debunk an ideology, should we present it on equal footing? Or is that dangerous? I’ve learned in cultural psychology; in the media over the years, certain types of people have been demonized. And to get their point across in the media, they make their target look like bad guys, and not intelligent. This has been going on for decades. If they wanted to get their hate across to the majority of people, do you think that they would have held the people they demonize up on the same pedestal in all equality and then debunk it? Nope that just doesn’t work as far as persuasion. It has the opposite effect. So I'm not sure whether you are right or not. Im just going by the logic of how media would portray a victim in order to convince the majority.

Is there an Archer? They could do all sorts of action/adventure with that. It would fit into the adult category.

That's pretty cool! This is a rare honor in the video game industry. Makes me like the game even more. I recently started playing it, and is amazing so far. I hope in their travels in Japan, that they become inspired even more about the history and maybe make another game. But, when you least expect things, you get more than asked for. So this may be a once in a lifetime honor. And that is pretty great in itself.

I think The Walking Dead flirted with humanity itself. Individuals always think they are the righteous ones. But what separates the good and bad in survival mode? Humanity itself is an ideology because who are we to claim to be civilized? We are humans, but are we really humane? The game reminds us that everyone is capable of turning demon. We hold some very dangerous negligence and immorality in our hearts, only to be revealed in a type of situation we aren't wired to handle. And any situation can have a different response from different people. So in that sense, humane/civilized is only an ideology. Just because we have a house, vehicles, job, government, churches, towns, police, etc. doesn't mean we are tame. Far from it. We are just in passing, enjoying the goods, and that demon will show when you don't know how to handle a situation. I think maybe it takes training of the mind like monks or masters of Aikido or something to still the demon.

Every day. Oh, in gaming? Every day.

Careful if you do, cause you won't be able to add DLC content to it if you are in a different region than the game. Guess it doesn't matter for older games. Just get them with all the content already added.

I don’t see how anyone can listen to another person game while going to sleep. That’s like scratching a chalk board. I’ll be almost asleep, hear the person die in game; then I’ll wake and say “ha ha”

7 Days To Die comes to mind. It feels like some underdeveloped computer game on a ps4. But when you are done puking and build up a protected area, it's cool to see if you can survive.

I just got AC3 and all the Odyssey DLC. Only 3 games left I don't have: Rogue, Unity, and AC1. 😁 Happy times!!! How many AC games do you own? How many have you played?

The only other one I played was MGS 2. And the controls were clunky then too. Guess I never got far enough to hide in a box. So you can imagine how an outsider like me perceives it. For a game like that, I would think a camo leaves and branches suit would be more appropriate. But a box? If that was a thing, it's just funny to me.

I've had the same problem with the controls in that game. Hand to hand combat was weird, and trying to catch someone to interrogate or knock out, I couldn't quite get the hang of it. I often would flat out dive on my belly when trying to do something else. Then the silencer on the weapon wears off and so long for stealth at that point. And what's up with the box to hide in???

Humans are eventually gonna devolve into cyborgs. As we see animals being able to play games now, with things wired to their brains, then eventually humans can work from home if they have a job that operates tech of some sort. They can just VR it from home while you control something in a factory miles away. Medical technology will replace actual organs in the body, bones for movement, eyesight, reproduction even. Anything that is electrical can be controlled through VR. You would be able to cook a meal sitting in bed, then switch screen to killing zombies, then bang your neighbor virtually, then picture yourself laying on the beach. That first black and white tv and computer were only the beginning.

I think there is an Indie trend all across the board from music to shows and to games. Music may get away with it more because it doesn't cost as much to create an album. Game developers need the resources, and that is their limiting factor. It wouldn't be called indie anymore if they had big spending bucks and made a name for themselves. So Indie games are forced to be more creative. That is why they probably tend to have better stories, at the sacrifice of graphics and size of map.

Every horror game. I don't think VR would work if the character is jumping and diving around so much. Kind of takes the V out of VR. Because you would have to jump to a third person view in that case. VR is best in 1st person, unless maybe it's a racing game.

I got pretty far in the game, put it down for a while because I got caught up in other games. But I just started another play through from the beginning and I'm liking it even more this time around. I actually don't mind playing through it again. I recommend the game, cause you know, I'm the master gamer and all.

Every game!!!

Also, can't forget about the whole animus thing and the modern day templars; so I wouldn't doubt there to be a modern day story going with the past/time traveling. Should be interesting to say the least.

The fact that it's Ubisoft themselves working with Netflix, should keep it true to the game. I'm thinking it will be based on Ezio or a similar character/story. Or they may go with Origins type with the beginnings of the assassins themselves. But they might have each season a separate story, since the game series stretches across a broad timeline from ancient Egypt, Greece, Renaissance, Imperialism, etc. I'm not sure if any of the games go into the 1900's. So we can expect a historic setting.

Say what? An actual TV series is being planned as Ubisoft is partnering with Netflix. 2022 sounds more realistic when it could come out. I've gotten the Creed fever just in time to be ready for the treat! I don't have Netflix, but when there is a will, there is a way. I will watch it! Will be interesting to see what kind of story they put together. I hope they make it R rated and geared towards a mature audience. Oh please, don't disney the series!!! https://news.ubisoft.com/en-us/article/5yREt2YYOAO2W8zMmPN0s2/liveaction-assassins-creed-series-coming-to-netflix?isSso=true&refreshStatus=noLoginData
