Apparently, Franco doesn't do a damn thing this week as Jack and Geoff discuss Five Facts about Rocket League. On a completely unrelated note, I still don't ...
+gnuibrunst You can change the shade of your car. Pink to red to Orange, Blue to purple etc. He was playing with and against bots, so the car colours were the same.
Was Jack's beard actually made of sound deadening material?Will it sound slightly different each week as his beard grows back?Stay tuned true believers!
Honestly, for all the good this game has, I still hate it. An AC game
should focus primarily on assassinating, and while this game does grasp
that concept, there's still too much lack of focus. From the gender
politics to horse carriages to some really overobsessive historical
accuracy, I feel that for all it's merits, Syndicate is just a step in the
right direction.
the new Creed apparently also takes place the furthest back in time the
series ever gone, to ancient Egypt, long before the Templars or the
assassin order ever existed.
That period is what they need to go back too the Time of the assassins and templar order Egypt sound cool though we will find out sooner or later though
The existed back in the time of the precursorsAfter the Toba catastrophe, the surviving human leaders came into possession of several Pieces of Eden, and debated on how to best use them for humanity's benefit. They were aware of their former slavers interfering with their evolution, and sought to lead humanity on their destined path by any means necessary. In order to achieve this, they utilized the Pieces of Eden as tools, but were distrustful of any who attempted to make peace with the First Civilization.However, others wanted to give humanity complete freedom, and envisioned a world where all beings could live according to their own will. As such, the maxim "Nothing is true, everything is permitted" became their philosophy, exemplifying the belief that all were free to determine their own path. They also believed that the misuse of the Pieces of Eden to control others was against all they had worked and suffered for, as it would enslave humanity once more.
The A.I. of the random people walking around was horrible for a game
released in late 2015. You would murder someone and people would run
TOWARDS you. And after, idk, 10 seconds, everyone will huddle around the
dead body even if you're still there. Who would huddle around a murderer
and not think they're not going to kill anyone else? And it runs horribly
on PC. With my GTX 970, it recommends I play on the lowest settings
possible. What? And the game doesn't even look that great. I really dislike
the looks of Syndicate and Unity. The controls are wonky and I just really
don't understand how this is a great game. How was it your #1 game??
+ShadowWave it's sad that us PC gamers don't get as much attention as consoles from companies like Ubisoft. I gave them one last chance because of what I heard about Syndicate but this is the straw that broke he camel's back for me. I just can't trust Ubisoft to deliver a good, quality game (as far as PC goes). I can only say that Far Cry is the game I trust. Runs well, looks beautiful and shooting is fun. But I just can't.. I'm done with AC..
The only thing I personally didn't like was how you were no longer a badass
assassin that can easily dispatch a crowd of enemies. I miss the
counter-kill. Was my personal favorite thing about the combat. But this is
just me
I did like the new stealth stuff. Just the combat got extremely more challenging. I mean a challenge is good and all, like the slight changes in combat strategies over the years were nice and I was able to adapt well. But everyone owns a gun now and you can't use others as a shield anymore. It feels like I died more times in combat in Unity than all the previous AC games combined. Eventually I got slightly better but I only survived well cus I had Extremely high health and a LOT of healing items. Those guns everyone owns is a bitch to deal with.
+ZackRToler .... That is like the opposite of an assassin, that is a deranged killer. I have stopped playing the AC games but I'm glad they tried to put in a more stealth focus approach into this one (Even though the stealth system was broken, but at least you aren't a god of death anymore)
Ubisoft is easily becoming one of my most hated companies. They make
fantastic games and they just don't seem to care if there are bugs or not.
Somehow, just somehow, with all the awesome games they make, they still
find a way to disappoint. It really is a shame.
+RthritisandFriendsPBTechnically it is the right thing but from a money standpoint delaying a game isn't great. The issue with the current industry is it is so bloated. It has to scale back or quality will drop like it has. Problem is informed gamers aren't the target audience of these games, the target audience are the people who just play things to play things. There is nothing wrong with that but that audience will start to leave once quality starts to slip which it has.
+TheSpoonyCroy Nonetheless, I don't like excuses and the right thing to do for any company, is push the release date back if it has a lot of problems. Like someone once said (somebody said Gabe Newell) No-one will remember a great game that was pushed back, but everyone will remember a game with a horrible launch. (Or something to that effect).
+TheSpoonyCroy But my point is, the amount of bugs Ubisoft has in their games they've been releasing in correlation to the size of the company and its resources really doesn't add up. They release games with too many bugs for a comoany their size. It also makes me mad because some of the bugs were pointed out to them/complained about since the alpha. Then they had three betas after that and still people said hey the same problem is there (as a matter of fact, it got worse) and they didn't even try to fix it.
+RthritisandFriendsPBSimple answer is profits. Unity and BF4 really screwed with their respective companies profits. So yes they have learned they can't just keep turning out buggy messes of games. Also no you have to remember a QA team is going to be around 20 people or so while the target audience is going to reach the millions. So yes there will be alot of bugs found and the problem is games are just getting bigger and bigger so bugs are going to be alot more common now then in the past
+TheSpoonyCroy What about Assassin's Creed Unity? They like straight up didn't give a fuck that the game hardly even worked. Its like EA with Battlefield 4, when your company is as big as one of those two, some of these bugs aren't excusable.
+RthritisandFriendsPB Sorry to say but expecting all the bugs to be fixed in a month time span (including balancing patches in that same timeframe.) No game is ever going to be bug free hell some game franchises have built some its features from bugs (Tribes = skiing, Quake = bunny hopping, Super Smash bros Melee = wavedashing)
+Kirk Hitchen Its not just annual franchises. Here's a perfect example, Rainbow Six Siege, which had an alpha and three beta tests and people were saying from the alpha hey fix your servers because they don't work right. Game comes out at launch still not fixed and even today they still have problems.
+RthritisandFriendsPB i dunno if it's that they don't care so much as assassins creed is an annual franchise. it cannot be delayed under any circumstance. don't buy ANY annual franchise cuz it's gonna be the same thing every year (CoD) or a buggy mess like this
the female protag thing is pretty stupid to me, if a developer wants to
make his MC male make him male, he shouldn't have to make it a female just
because he needs to be more progressive.
+Strong Bad You get it!I don't play a game to relate, I play a game to be someone else, to live another life, if a character does happen to relate to me, like shay patrick cormac in terms of looks and personality then it's a win win.
+xxxMittens (卿ミトン) Right? You are playing a story driven game. These are all predesigned characters with their own personality and story. Its not like a fallout game where you can make your own character to project yourself onto.....you're not supposed to project yourself onto these kinds of characters. They have their own written story and you are role playing as THEM, not yourself. So the gender of the charcter is irrelevant. If its a guy, its a guy. If its a girl, its a girl. Thats what the writers decided work for their sotry, thats what youre given. You shouldnt be offended at that.
+xxxMittens (卿ミトン) Except it was with the multiplayer aspect of the game, where the players are just blank slates for you to project on. Some women would prefer to project on female characters. Also Ubisofts response didn't help, which was basically: "Boob physics are hard to animate"
I agree with what you guys are saying but the reason why people got so pissed off about the female protagonist thing with this game specifically is that there was an actual female "assassin" (the real world version of the word, not the in game secret order obviously) in the French Revolution so it seemed as if they were ignoring that but yeah everyone jumped on the bandwagon of calling ubisoft sex sexist pretty quickly
+xxxMittens (卿ミトン) You're absolutely right, I think (at least among the more calmer sorts) that seeing more female protags would be nice moreso for variety than being progressive. I don't want developers to start making them purely for the sake of being PC or pandering. There have been some pretty good female chars in video games, I think most just would like to see more protags that just happen to be female ALONG with protags who happen to be male. I think Geoff and Jack were being extremely sarcastic about the female protags in this video though, especially Geoff.
Five Facts – Fact Check #7
While Jack hosts, Geoff tries once again to sort the fact from the fiction in this week's Five Facts: Fact Check! || BE PART OF THE AH CREW: ...
Geoff reminds me of that uncle we all have (not the diddler one, the other
one) ,who just makes up utter bullshit every time you see him, but he says
it with such conviction you're just stupefied and amazed
I feel like a better setup for Fact Check would be to give a true fact and
false fact for each game and have Geoff guess which one is true. That way
you'll still aways get an interesting fact and it's more than just guessing
true or false. It would be more fun IMHO. but I enjoy it either way
+Graphic Gaming That's actually a really good idea. They could even do it like they do with "gavin or google". Let 2 people pick which one they think is correct and award points, adds a little competition.
There's a 50% chance of getting these right and yet Geoff, I think, has
consistently had under 3 correct answers. In the future he should decide
what he thinks it is and then answer the opposite of what he thinks. If
he'd done that he'd be way better off so far, I'm pretty sure.
+OneOnOne1162 nah, reasoning is completely unnecessary. since he's consistently performing below chance level, a random decider would be better. like flipping a coinor a monkey throwing shit against a wall.
+OneOnOne1162 Then that becomes a metagame where Geoff would go '' Okay, so I'll pick A, since I think it's B...but then should I pick B since I think A is right?''
