I dunno. I did play a VR version with that character and it was very creative and fun.

My wife doesn’t really play many videogames, but we both enjoyed “It Takes Two.” Pixar-level storytelling.

It was rated PG… since PG-13 wasn’t created yet. Kids watched it in theaters back in 1981. So some are in their late 40s now.

In my experience, also IT, I’ve had issues with Dell laptops much more than HP. Though HP printers suck.

Damn you, Sid Meier!!!

I’ve played pretty much all but the most recent. They have their ups and downs. The first was almost like a proof of concept. Kinda boring, but the story sets up the sequels. There was a good overall story arc in the Desmond/Ezio trilogy (Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood, and Revelations) that hasn’t been duplicated since.

AC3 was a bit of a breath of fresh air, being part of the American revolution, but it wasn’t for everyone. The story was being deviated from earlier games too much. AC4 is, for me, still the best single-player pirate game out there. It continues with Rogue. Both of those games I highly enjoyed.

Unity (Paris during French Revolution) and Syndicate (Victorian London) both have fantastic maps and character design, but gameplay and story just wasn’t as interesting to me. The series was feeling stale.

To Ubisoft’s credit, they knew that too and entirely revamped the gameplay and menu system starting with Origins (Ancient Egypt), then Odyssey (Ancient Greece), and Valhalla (Vikings during 9th Century). Valhalla was really fun. I love how they change certain villages up throughout the year… adding festivals/challenges depending on when you play. The maps were just getting too huge and overwhelming at this point.

I play the games now mainly for exploration. Gameplay and story are secondary as they aren’t as interesting anymore. They really put a lot of detail into their surroundings and do their research on history, whether real or fantastical. It’s escapism to another land in another time.

Ubisoft is not Rockstar. The story is no longer the reason to play these games. They are forgettable. The Desmond/Ezio storyline of the earlier games are no more. However, we don’t have to wait several years to play a sequel.

Valhalla was the only one that I paid full price for since it was 2020 and we were still basically trapped in our homes, but definitely got my money’s worth. They seemed to take more time making Mirage so I’ll check that out eventually. They are remastering some of their old games so I’d play those over the dated originals.

The Far Cry series has a similar feeling for me, but with a first person perspective. New lands to explore, new stories and characters, but some are better than others.

Yes. Senate hearings and trade disputes are for kids. 👍

Maybe… but Skywalker was definitely originally called Starkiller back in the 70s before Lucas changed it to a more positive sounding name. It was in one of the original scripts.

EDIT, from Wiki:

George Lucas considered various characterizations for the protagonist of the original Star Wars film.[s] The possibilities included a 60-year-old grizzled war hero, a Jedi Master, a dwarf, and a woman.[5][6] Luke’s original surname was “Starkiller”, and it remained in the script until a few months into filming. It was dropped due to what Lucas called “unpleasant connotations” with Charles Manson, who became a “star killer” in 1969 when he murdered the well-known actress Sharon Tate.[7][8] Lucas replaced the problematic name “Starkiller” with “Skywalker”.[9]

“You know what would be a cool Easter egg for the fans? The new Death Star that’s 100 times as large…? We’ll call it Starkiller base. Cause you know Skywalker’s original name was Starkiller.”

Hurr-durr-durrr.

He co-created Rebels, oversaw all the scripts, wrote a few. That’s not nothing.

When I saw this scene as a kid, I thought Motti coughed up the yellow button on the console. I didn’t know what it was at the time and thought Vader somehow put some yellow choking pill inside him. It was very disturbing to me. This was before I knew what a Force choke was.

I liked the part when I was playing very far into the game and I basically had so many enemies and explosions on screen I couldn’t even see my character anymore… and then my wife came into the room, saw the chaos and didn’t understand how I could still play or how it was even fun.

Good times.

But see how evil he looks…

Region meaning country/continent? One of them lives across the country.

Same household only? Why can’t they just allow a certain number of people in your “family” use it? I have no kids, but I’d like to allow my siblings or in-laws use my games. They live in different cities.

They made an animated web series that follows Kenway:

They made a similar style game with Assassin’s Creed: Rogue and with different characters. I enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as the original.

And IV will likely get a remake:

They didn’t want to spring for the color print or did that not mesh well with the color palette in the room?

I stopped watching during the 7th season. Maybe I’ll go back to finish it up, but it just felt stale even though they tried to mix things up a bit at the start.

Teeth (whole jaw) and arms. Michonne did this to travel around as their smell would cover hers so other walkers couldn’t detect her.
