  Oh, they absolutely made combat easier in this game. Aside from the easier hidden blade counter window, kill streaks let you instantly kill all the enemies that you can’t normally counter. It’s possible to get over a thousand kills in the flawless virtual training mode simply because the enemies have no opportunity to hit you between your counters and kill streaks. Revelations dials it back by making the janissaries impossible to instantly kill in combat, which ends your kill streaks and forces you to actually fight them.

  I’ll freely admit that I’m a terrible pick to ask about the parkour, sorry. Aside from the obvious improvement between AC1 and AC2, I’m intellectually aware that the parkour has been changed multiple times (certainly at least once per engine change), but during actual gameplay the parkour has never really felt different enough for me to notice, and Mirage is no exception. Like, I guess I noticed the more flashy animations in Unity and Syndicate compared to before, and I’m aware that people have complained about it feeling floatier in those games, but that all just goes right over my head.

  Honestly, man, I have no idea what’s even going on with the modern day story anymore. Unity and Syndicate were already super light on modern day stuff (something about deep diving the Animus/Helix for… reasons?), and the only one I’ve played since was Mirage, which somehow has even less (William does a voice over at the very start of the game, and that’s it).

  Crimson Skies on Xbox was actually Crimson Skies 2. Crimson Skies 1 on PC was a completely different game. Still great if you like less arcade-like flight sims, though.

  Speaking of time shenanigans and AC3, that game had the most bonkers example at the very end, where Minerva has a real-time argument with Desmond and Juno despite being a recording. Too bad Ubi kinda just forgot about it afterwards as they tried to pivot the modern day story to “Ancients in the PRESENT DAY oooooo…”, which itself got killed by Unity’s disastrous launch and Syndicate being kinda lackluster.

  IIRC, the DLCs were basically “we interrupt this 10 year timeskip between Ezio finally being properly inducted as an Assassin and fist fighting the Pope to bring you an adventure in Forli and the bonfire of the vanities”.

  Digital distribution of games was a mistake.

  I can never pull it off in AC1 because the timing window is so tight, but countering with the hidden blade is an instant kill and looks cool as fuck. I’m really glad that they tweaked the combat for the Ezio games to make all the weapons equally viable, though.

  On a related note: the fact that your health bar also measures synchronization means that a 100% sync run involves never getting hit, which further implies that it’s possible that Altair somehow managed to pick fights with every guard in the region using only the hidden blade and win every time without a scratch.

  Mmm, pizza broth… Actually, would that be considered broth, or would it be too thin?

  A reminder that the taxes in question were levied to recoup the costs of French and Indian War, which the colonists started.

  I think it’s just that the characters’ creators are all dead.

  Since you already financed the bridge, you can use all those rupees to power your magic armor now instead!

  I wish GP mode had a classic mode option, though, instead of “get to the track and then do a single lap”.

  spoiler

  At the beginning of the game, you’re told that Earth was overrun by monsters, and your character is part of a task force intended to take the planet back. Partway the game, it’s revealed that in the past, there was a machine rebellion that got interrupted by the monsters appearing. The end of the game reveals that all the humans in the game (including your character) are actually robots, because after the machines wiped out the original humans the survivors turned themselves into monsters for revenge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stellar Blade: BLOOD RAIN | Official Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That doesn’t necessarily mean a sequel though. I mean, yes, this trailer could actually be taking place in the Colony, but aesthetics don’t really match Eidos 7 and the spaceships that we see in the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stellar Blade: BLOOD RAIN | Official Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Either there’s a major timeskip, because where the fuck did this cyberpunk metropolis come from given the original post-apocalyptic setting, or this is a prequel kicking off the apocalypse.

  Well, it is the 30th anniversary this year, so I guess Tomb Raider Anniversary Electric Boogaloo shouldn’t surprise me.

  It’s entirely because Miyamoto thought that right-handed players would have their immersion broken if they swung their Wiimotes with their right hands only to see Link swing the sword with his left. Incidentally, this is also why SS and BotW have right-handed Links. Some bullshit lefty erasure, if you ask me.

  Haven’t the slop companies not even actually bought anything yet? My understanding is that no money’s actually changed hands, and that all of this is happening because they pinky promised to buy components in the future with money they don’t even have right now. Which, yes, is basically how buying on credit works, but for everyone else that usually first requires having a reputation for being able to actually pay eventually, rather than the bubble imploding and all these companies going under before the order is even fulfilled.
