There's another series created by a white supremacist group called Ethnic Cleansing. It's as sick as it sounds.
WTF; so that bigoted b.s. has already been done? This is exactly what happens when terrorists have free speech. And people don't think a government infiltrated by those bigots won't make a whole genre of games like that??? I'm literally pissed some fuck heads actually allowed such a thing to be published.

I've kind of lost interest in recent years. I think playing AC back to back, year after year did it for me. Last AC game I did play, I think was Syndicate. I think I bought origins or one of the other recent ones, but I've yet to actually play it. There's just so many games I have to play right now lol
My favorites would probably be 2 and Brotherhood. The Ezio trilogy is probably my fave, even though I didn't play revelations all the way through. I think by the time I got revelations, Black Flag was already out and I already played 3 and that one. Going back was a bit tough. I was even considering going back to the first game, which I tried for a while, but I wasn't feeling it, I also hear it's the worst of the bunch, as you essentially the same stuff over and over again. That's why 2 is regarded by many as the better start if that makes sense.
But yeah, I love the series, but have fallen off in recent years.
I just bought Syndicate yesterday. I got the limited ed. but forgot all the DLC are already expired. I really want to play the Jack the Ripper DLC. Did you try that DLC? Supposed to be pretty good. I plan on buying the whole AC series. Maybe even the first one. But it seems like that one is a lost orphaned child of the series. I've been playing AC2 and to me is a good starting point. Very good game so far.

In the beginning I was thinking that was filmed here, because the building in the screen before you click it to play, looks exactly like one that's on campus. I couldn't figure out why the hell they would film something like that here. I'm glad to see it was filmed in Paris. Or Europe at least.
That's funny; Notre Dame Cathedral has similar architecture throughout the world to honor it. I've been there before and beneath it are Roman ruins. Much of the stone work to make the cathedral is taken from those ruins. You can actually go underneath to see it all. And Paris itself is built over a massive network of catacombs. I wonder if AC Unity has many quests down in the Paris underworld.
I thought at first the video would be cheesy, but they actually did a great job on it.

Is this normal to have all those old school games available for the ps4 to buy online at the playstation store? I only started getting some games there a couple months ago, but since then I've never seen all these ps2 games. Even rare ones like Warriors, Bully, Red Faction, Destroy All Humans, Siren, and many others to play on the ps4. There are a couple I wouldn't mind playing on my newer system since I'm always too lazy to get out my ps2. Some are enhanced 1080; not sure if all are.

Games need some XXX action. They should have Geralt do some hardcore action with two dragon sisters in human form. It doesn't have to be clunky at all, unless they are doing it bareback on top of a dragon while it is flying over Kaer Morhen. Yennefer needs to go pro.

Got my system back today and seems to be fine. Everything is back to factory settings. Glad I saved all my stuff, cause I have to reinstall everything. And since my wifi is slow, it's gonna take 2-3 days for each game and update. RDR2 itself will take about a week. I'm thinking of just putting my downloadable games I bought, which is only a few, and large gb games on this system. It just isn't a trustworthy system anymore. Thanks playstation for fixing it, and sorry my trust is sketchy after only a year and a half playing it. But they honored its warranty and so far it works. And I will always update here if any other problem happens.

The bull in AC Odyssey. You just inspired me to play Undead Nightmare some more to get that mount Death.

How's this for some Unity

Try not to support companies like amazon for making games. That direction absolutely paves the way of subscriptions for gaming. Should boycott it.

If we define domestic terrorism and protect the rights to vote in unbreakable iron clad, then a republican will never again win an election, because we the people who believe in democracy are the majority.
If we continue to allow gerrymandering, reduce voting locations and all the other insane things republicans have done and as we witnessed their attack on voting rights in 2020, including trying to destroy our entire postal service to prevent mail in ballots; if we allow them to continue this, we can kiss democracy goodbye. And the electoral college system needs a hard look at doing away with. Because that doesn't represent a majority count in a democratic process.
I don't care if whites in the USA are the majority or not, but I believe they are. Either way that does not give them the right to play victim while the systemic racism protects the whites. During all the protests about blacks being killed by police, those M*F* white nationalists of the republican party had some nerve to say more white people are killed by cops. They play on that fear of becoming a minority, which has given rise to these new white supremacist terrorist groups. They attack, try to overthrow democracy, plot, and are treasonous. Then they still expect the left to befriend them and wink, and shrug it off with a 'nice try'. Those groups need to be held responsible. We need to define terrorism.
But even then-this is who the republicans are now. The only way this country survives is if voting is protected. Cause no matter if republicans try to block everything, as long as we the majority win elections, this country will continue on. And the fascists know it. That is why instead of having policy to win over people, they have 'no policy' and spread lies, fear, and voter suppression as their way to to make their votes stronger. We can win by 10 million votes again and again.

I have MGS 5 and feel I've missed out on the older games that led to the latest story. So I would like to see a remake of an earlier game. Would be good to see how they formed and where Snake and others came from.

This year people around the world noticed that more than 10 countries who got the covid vaccine from china basically got fake vaccine. Chinese are this much worst. I won't be surprised if USA's current president biden turns america a communist colony to please millenials woke views.
Sad you think that way. Regardless, democracy is moving on with or without the conspiracy mongers.

You probably should go get a refund because it's pretty much unplayable on the PS4/ Xbox One. You'll probably be waiting for the next year or so before it even becomes playable on those platforms.
Oh sh##T!
Thanks for the heads up. I'll see how it goes then and hold onto it as it was a gift. I'm wondering if they create a whole new disc for the ps4 or ps5. Isn't that what they did with No Man's Sky Origins?

This particular issue has been fixed since last month and if you're on PC, the game is going well for the most part other than occasional bug. With the last couple of patches, the game is performing a bit better although I've been on of the more fortunate ones to not really encounter that many bugs.
Mine's for the ps4, so maybe I can start on it. I play slow, so I'll probably still be learning the ropes by the time another update comes around.

There is a new patch 1.1 updated 3 days ago. Has that helped your gaming at all??? I'm keeping track of updates because I have the game, but not bothering to play it till I get an all good from some gamers.

I can see how people liked the older AC games better than the newer ones. While playing AC2, I found it to have a lot more sneaking around and being weaponless, at first, and being 'wanted'. You have to hide in crowds, travel on rooftops more, and the cityscape with all the alleyways, you have to watch every corner and be really sneaky. I think the best environment for Assassins Creed is Italy. It's the architecture, colors, vibe, culture, and everything else that really brings out your inner assassin. A great game. Don't know why nobody ever recommends it. I sure do! And I'm only in Florence; still got Rome to venture into and Venice. I'm lovin this stuff. And so far I like the story.

So true. Video games give you an avenue to help take your mind off things for a while or even work it out in your head. The only real downside to gaming is addiction and that isn't really a gaming related issue as it is a lack of self discipline which causes that.
Addiction is actually a disease and not a lack of self discipline. Many addicts aren't given proper help due to society's failure to see it as a disease and treat it. In the sense of gaming, porn, or anything people do that doesn't require putting substances in their bodies still needs to be diagnosed as a disease. A gaming addict may be sleep deprived, eat little, nutrition deficient, poor social life; can interfere with their work and they lose their jobs or career. It's the same for any addiction. Of course, every case is different. Last thing an addict wants to hear is lacking self discipline as if you really have a choice. In a state of full blown addiction, you no longer have a choice. They usually need medical or psychiatric help. But it's not like a gamer will have life threatening withdrawals, so they won't need medical help. A good psyche evaluation may help find the deeper problem that led to gaming addiction in the first place. It could very well be this pandemic as an example, and anxieties that has worked its way into a person's life. Maybe they lost someone and just wants to do nothing but play games so they won't face it. It just could be anything. Addictions are not normal unless it is a chemical itself inducing it from drugs or alcohol. Otherwise, it's a definite psychological problem that may be at the root of it. But know, it isn't necessarily the psychological problem that is the disease, it is the psychological problem that led to the addiction, where the addiction itself is a disease. Many of us may feel addicted to gaming at times. But if your gaming interferes with your wellness (just like anything else, not excluded to gaming) it becomes a diseased state. Sure, we had the choice in the first place to put something in our bodies or stay up late gaming, but not being able to break the habit is no longer a self discipline issue. If you are into prolonged gaming and consume your required nutrition and get required exercise, and keep your work ethics, social life, etc. then you don't really have an addiction problem. Addiction literally = disease.

I have, and reviewed it for Downloadable Discontent. I thought it was OK, and the progenitor for the later Origins-style of games with how different some gameplay elements are. I suppose it'll do in a jiffy if you need me ACIV:BF. ^^
Nice review! Although you should of had a bottle of booze, and should I say it? Yes, a parrot. LOL. I love the machete he uses! Brings a more raw hatred rather than an elegant sword. Much of the environment looks the same, but seems worth playing. Cool he gets a ship, cause in Black Flag I remember a scene where Kenway and Adewale both captured the ship and it was up for debate who is captain and they agreed the pirates wouldn't follow a black captain. But now he is one. I still have a little ways to go in Black Flag, then I'll get this DLC. It's $10 right now. Hopefully when I'm ready it will be $0. Or I will take it! Arrr

This is an introduction to Ezio's family, especially his father who was an assassin (fictional, of course). Pretty cool to see a short film reflecting the actual video game environment in Italy.
-
I got the Ezio collection which includes AC2, Brotherhood, Revelations and some DLC all remastered. I've been really curious about the older stuff and I love Italy which is where AC2 starts. I just got it today and started playing AC2 tonight and really loving it! From here I am going to play all the Assassin's Creed games. I'm hooked.

Controversial opinion, idk if I really have one. Or one that I can't think of. I'm literally drawing a blank.
It's kind of like saying there should be no religious movies. I say let the religious people out there have their movies and games. I don't think it's going to hurt anyone.
Religion and games have been co-existing forever now though. Assassin's Creed for example is heavily inspired by religion, and has a lot of themes regarding it. I'm no fan of religion being forced onto us in games or in movies, but I just ignore that type of media. 😄
I would say that Assassin's Creed is inspired by history more than religion. There is a lot of reference to gods and mythology in some of the games especially Odyssey, but I never got the sense that it is being forced or anything. I mean what about God of War, which is mostly about fighting Gods? And even then it is lore and mythology. I think AC1 may have the most modern religious reference with the Crusades era and taking place in the Holy land. But in history of man, you really can't separate religion as not being a part of our history. You can pick any place in the world and make an AC game, and in some places you have to include religion as part of the culture.

I hate to say it, but white supremacy isn't going to end. It's based on prejudice and entitlement. In this country we have gotten used to referring to anyone who isn't white as a "minority". If you compare whites to the combined other ethnicity's in this country, whites are the minority. What needs to be done is to eradicate our homegrown groups like the KKK, Stormfront, Council Of Conservative Citizens, Proud Boys, Westboro Baptist Church, and so many more.
Biden is working on a threat level assessment. But we already know the threat level. Canada is considering making proud boys a terrorist group. In this country we don't have a defined domestic terrorist definition. We need one now, and treat white ISIS as we would ISIS. As long as we refuse to define domestic terrorism, then terrorism will continue and grow. And I don't care if a liberal group is included. But there are no liberal groups causing mass shootings or blowing up churches, or plotting to assassinate politicians like white supremacist groups do and have a long history of doing. Some far right groups from this country cannot travel to a foreign country and gather in a large group, because they have domestic terrorist rules.
In the U.S. there were many people on the terrorist watch list and they gathered together and invaded the capital. What in the world is the point of a watch list if all they do is watch them commit terrorism and treason? So we need to use resources to monitor those groups closely and define terrorism. Free speech and assembly is not protection for ISIS in the USA. Neither should it be for any group meeting criteria for domestic terrorism. Biden needs to define that criteria.
Sad thing is, if a traitorous republican becomes president again, they will manipulate that criteria just to make any liberal group a terrorist and exclude white supremacists. Just like trump tried to do with antifa, who has only one death on their hands; which was NOT a pre-meditated terrorist hate crime. So while we open the door to define terrorism, we have to have caution as to how a republican will try and change it for the benefit of their terrorist and treasonous base.

What examples of prosperity, progress and improvement would you like to see ?
There are a few extremely important issues I want to see improved. Tackle the pandemic. Tackle white supremacists and domestic terrorists. Then, make laws to protect voting rights as republicans only care about suppressing them. They need to get rid of the last minute 'loyalty' positions in government trump appointed. They need laws to protect institutions so that it is no longer easy to fire and rehire so many top gov. positions. They need a plan for racial reform and police reform. They need to make the rich pay their fair share of taxes. We need to protect our environment and enforce responsible practices. There are so many other things that need to be repaired that was almost destroyed the past 4 years. But those are a good start. They really need to take a look at checks and balances in government and build on areas in democracy that trump and party found loop holes in. Because I have no doubt at all that the republican party is only out for dictatorship. They will try again in four years; and four years after that; however long it takes. That's who they are now.
