It’d be kind of like if Assassin’s Creed Unity played the same song that was in that famous reveal trailer (…)

God, that AC Unity trailer with “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” might still be my all time favourite trailer. It’s so good.

I’m glad AC Shadows is going in a good direction though. I thought the series was completely lost after the shift to RPGs. Still not sure I’ll play it but I might consider it now on sale. Yours is not the first surprisingly positive review I’ve seen.

I agree. It still has a bit of a way to improve, but I’d say that if you were to pick it up though, the sale would be the safest bet, especially with the freakishly large base price tag

I have set up the original Fallout (fully modded and running through Fallout 1n2), but it’s pretty hard to get into. Not because of the graphics, which are actually fine, but just because the mechanics are quite intricate and I think my ability to learn new gameplay mechanics is declining as I enter my mid-30s (I’ve only played Fallout starting with Fallout 3). I’m going to keep trying to get into it!

The classic Fallouts do have some quirks, but I hope you get through them and can get into it. They are absolutely amazing games, well worth your time.

As someone who played Fallout 2 as a teen it’s not your age, the first 2 have a lot of little things that end up having a big effect, and they are difficult. They do not pull their punches and will happily smack you around.

I restarted Fallout 2 many times when I was first playing it trying to figure out a build I liked.

the_riviera_kid,

No worries bud, the mechanics for 1 and 2 has always been shit. People sucked it up and played anyway because the writing was so damn good. If you can’t get into the game because the mechanics or controls are bad thats the games fault not yours.

I have been trying to replay both for years and everytime I give up after a few hours because the experience is just painful.

the_riviera_kid, do games w What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?

From GTA to GTA san andreas are all a pain now because the control scheme is so outdated, The pcs ports are even worse because they have the shittiest jankiest controls imaginable but they had that from the start. GTA 4 is borderline unplayable because of the trash camera controls but that was true when it came out as well.

The original Metro 2033 is a bit of a slog to get through as well if you can even get it to run.

Hardly ruin, you have to purposefully go find them gloating over Steam charts. But it’s too funny that people really have choice enough now in the good graphics segment that Ubisoft is sinking. It’s my fault, I cursed them when they left Steam for their 4-UAC-prompts-whenever-you-start PoS. They showed total contempt for their users with Breakpoint, tried an nft grift on the side, evolved all cosmetics to clown shoes level and totally failed to offer anything new. Where’s Reflextions? Stuff like Grow Up / Home, metroidvanias on UbiArt Framework? They have great 3D engines and can’t keep a team happy or unfired enough to have people that know how to use it and optimize a game and are able to take some risks with game design. It’s all either heavily monetized multiplayer dreck or incremental QoL features in ever larger and shallower sandboxes in one of few large franchise flavors. There’s not that much to discuss, woo bamboo cutting tech, a new coat of paint and some gimmicks. People claiming it’s failing because it’s either woke or culture appropriating are ascribing cultural import to a happy meal.

cvf,

I agree, I skipped over the latest Prince of Persia for a while because “eww Ubisoft”, but it really is a great mteroidvania.

Oh, wow! Amazing post, great job here! Loved to read through it, follow links and read more stuff! That Nintendo PlayStation was a rabbit hole!

I’m currently bashing my head with Elden Ring, dying all the time, figuring maybe I’m to old for videogames. I played DS2, DS3 and Bloodborne before, so I’m not new, but other things like online gaming and mount-fighting are too complicated for me. Items are just too many, difficulting me to actually use them. Never played online, ever, do not like the whole idea. Also had a run for Dying light but didn’t finish it. IDK, I’ve died a lot in videogames lately. Kind of tired of dying.

My daughter wanted to wear my headset when I was playing battlefield once. It was so funny listening to those losers rage because they Were getting stomped by a 5 yr old girl. Now days she still puts it on from time to time and it’s still hilarious.

move to the part after 2005s or so I would say. you can also find various documentaries online on how it evolved over time.

softcat,

I tend to think the average person is extremely judgmental and desperate for status hierarchy. In part that’s the conclusion of the study. As you can see in the other IQ-obsessed reply, it’s not exactly uncommon.

Well then the obvious conclusion is that respecting women makes you better at video games.

I don’t think that’s right, I’m terrible at games but I still respect women (enough to spare them from interacting with me whenever possible. Same goes for all people really)

Nosavingthrow,

Think about how bad you would be if you hated women. You’re really skill-maxing.

More likely higher ranked players finally figured out that keeping harmony within your team does wonders for your chance at winning. The amount of infighting I’ve had to stop just to save my elo is insane, why would i start something just because of someone’s gender.

There is a lot of highly critical discourse around the Last Samurai. Not current, because it’s not a current movie, but saying that it’s “okay” suggests you they haven’t looked for criticism.

Also, weary.

Edit: clarity.

Edit2: I have since been made aware by @SkunkWorkz of a different perspective that makes a lot more sense, see comments below.

ka1ikasan,

Yup, Last Samourai is 22 years old. Back then a lot of social issues have not been widely discussed.

Lumidaub,
@Lumidaub@feddit.org avatar

And even then, there were people who were uncomfortable with a narrative of some heroic white dude coming in to save the exotic natives. Just wasn’t a very popular opinion.

Deceptichum,
@Deceptichum@quokk.au avatar

Save the natives?

Doesn’t the movie end with them all dying?

Lumidaub,
@Lumidaub@feddit.org avatar

That’s presumably the beginnings of an awareness of why that narrative is problematic. And also of the importance of historic accuracy. His role in the narrative was that of a saviour though. (Also, he survives.)

SkunkWorkz,

Yeah but it was the other side of the spectrum. It weren’t right wing racist who were mad but SJWs who didn’t see the movie and don’t understand that the word Samurai in the title is plural not singular.

Lumidaub,
@Lumidaub@feddit.org avatar

Oh you’re saying that this is about right wingers who think the Last Samurai is okay (while Ass Creed isn’t).

… That… makes sense. Huh. I hadn’t seen it that way.

Melonpoly,

It was the main reason why I never ended up watching that film.

Flemmy,

Lol as good as the production looked even as a white dude I kind of cracked up at Tommy in that role.

The Last Shogun appears to have the same thing going but idk I havn’t watched it yet.

Stovetop,

I’m not sure if The Last Shogun is something different, but if you’re referring to the Shogun series recently adapted by FX, I can say having watched it that it features a main character who fancies himself a superior white savior, but ultimately leads to realizing how completely out of his depth he is.

But it’s like the Memoir of a Geisha problem: since the original work was written by a white dude anyways, how much value does it have as a cultural work?

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

I thought so too in the beginning. But the English character in that series is more of a… Useful tool that gets used. He has no agency and he never realises it throughout the entire series.

HubertManne,

I recall quite a bit of people taking issue with it. Goes back further with carradine in kung fu. Plenty didn't but same with assasins creed.

RowRowRowYourBot,

In 2003? What are you talking about? The only thing we weren’t talking about by then was trans-rights.

The uncomfortable racism was noted.

Tikiporch,

I think it’s wary, not weary. Could go either way, I guess.

The Sun is so vast that around 1.3 million Earths could fit inside it, making it the largest object in our solar system by far. How many Earths can fit in the Sun? The Sun’s diameter is about 109 times that of Earth, and it contains 99.86% of the solar system’s total mass.
