new asscred pulled down to my xbox yesterday but i've not tried it out yet. reviews aren't super-encouraging but i've enjoyed the series well enough that i can probably get over whatever quibbles.
conan did a thing where he played it and seemed to have fun.
also new dragon age comes out next week and i'm definitely into that. i am reluctant to cut down my destiny playtime tho
If you are to play AssUnity you are playing it on the best possible platform for the game as it currently stands.
I am 3-4 hours in and have not been disappointed. Like I said earlier, it feels like a return to form for the series (not that black flag was bad at all). The Assassination Missions are as great as the missions in AC1 were, only now it has the meat of the open world that AC2 and Brotherhood gave the series.
So like, in many ways this is my ideal for an AssCreed game, so long as I ignore the stupid eShop link that apparently will try to sell me in game upgrade currency and timed buffs. That part would probably enrage me if it felt like progression was needlessly slow or they advertised it all over the place (neither seem true).

i don't think i've taken a single sick day this year
I have "unlimited" sick days (unlimited = how many you can take without your bosses thinking you're an inveterate slacker, so < 3 depending on the team)
I have used maybe 3 this year, but never because I was really sick
Sry babes it's not like I'm saving them for when I get old and my immune system gives up on me
I'M YOUTHFUL kind of still
unlimited sick days is a scam

It is not bad but I miss Destiny's movement right away when playing.
I feel clunky in-game and I think I need to be more conservative when I play -- when I durdle out into the open at all I get ripped apart by fire. It seems like the plan is to sit behind objects waiting for my shield to slowly recharge and then shoot at guys with my dime-sized targeting reticle and no scope.
Master Chief < My Destiny mans
But the unified presentation and music and everything are great.
I also bought Minecraft on a whim and bought the halo theme pack and cracked out on it over the weekend. It was fun but I sm probably already done with it. Oh well.
I am not sure about either AC game.
Next week is DAI and GTAV yusss
This is your daily news on desc and vidyas
i talked with @The Green Eyed Monster about halo a little bit yesterday. like, halo was a super-important series; it was the gold standard in shooters. but by now the entire genre has incorporated halo's successful aspects and innovated in directions that the franchise isn't particularly interested in (from what i can tell). and of course the reskinned halo 1 and 2 are going to feel clunky and backwards.
I'd recommend working through the campaigns, if for nothing else out of cultural edification (these are important games). I wouldn't mess with the multi though.
The Keystone Cops scramble to make whatever comic book properties a studio has in their drawer into a multi-threaded franchise universe like the one Marvel has painstakingly built up is hilarious and tragic to watch.
They have to be in total panic-mode at the executive offices for this to have gotten this far.
Didn't they deny this?
Also I think the problem is they're declaring all this stuff without having a foundation to work with. Was the Avengers announced after Iron Man? No. It was certainly foreshadowed, but not really committed until Marvel felt confident enough to go with it.

There are no other games besides DA:I
No Fall or Winter releases from any major publisher.
Just DA:I
Any information to the contrary is false and misleading.
All there is to play is DA:I soon and put 100% of your time it
And enjoy it.
Also, Aunt May has worn Stark Armor to infiltrate Doomstadt with Pepper Potts so it still wouldn't be crazier than SOMETHING IN THE COMICS.

The trick is to work for a reasonably decent hospital, because then if you're sick they're just like "nope don't you fucking dare come into work today."

With the addendum that the multi will be very much worth messing with in December when Halo 5 multi beta drops - supposedly 343 has been working for years on how to mix things up, and they are putting a beta out a year in advance.
Things must be REALLY different if they are giving themselves that much time to course correct.

I have more PTO days saved up than I'll ever get to use this year

I use my sick leave pretty much as I accrue it because
1. This job isn't permanent and I don't get a payout for unused sick leave
2. I used a ton of sick leave last year for physical therapy
3. I have my doctor appointments and Chelle's appointments to go to, so I wind up using a lot.
it's the best in the series up to unity. maybe lacking a little in central narrative, but still a lot of fun.

I don't have any AC games because they're nigh impossible (Clunk clunk clunkkyy) to play using a KB+M and I don't feel like buying a gamepad for just one series.

i watched a video on their multiplayer innovations.
such exciting things as "sprint" and "maneuver jets"
honestly - and sure maybe i'm just jaded on competitive arena shooters by this point - it looks pretty stale.
i'll pick up h5 for the coop campaign since coop is where i live, but the multi is leaving me pretty soft
it's the best in the series up to unity. maybe lacking a little in central narrative, but still a lot of fun.
I still think Brotherhood is better, but they are CLOSE for the top spot.
My biggest issue with Black Flag is that they traded out their awesome massive city design for awesome naval stuff.
If at some point in the future there is an asscreed game that lets you sail the Mediterranean and port in massive cities like Rome, Barcelona, Athens, etc. - I know it would take like 10 years to make but I think I could just stop buying videogames at that point.

I usually trust Syndalis 'pinions but man. Errybody but you says it performs like mad butts on both consoles and PC. The Xbone version runs better than the PS4, but it's still averaging 20fps and somehow dipping below that, and that's before you get into glitches, the bountiful glitches...

yeah the cities felt a little anemic and horizontal, but i thought they did a good job making it work with various other environmental elements.

I mean, I am not saying the game runs at a silky smooth 30 frames with absolutely no problems. I fully admit people are out there having issues (though much MUCH more so on the PS4 and PC releases).
But when you step away from the technical issues, its a really good game (if you like city based assassins creed games). And thus far, I have been lucky enough I guess to not have been plagued with any aside from obvious frame dips when the camera pans out and sweeps over all of paris WHILE THERE ARE STILL HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WALKING AROUND ON THE STREETS holy shit who cares if there is a stutter on this non gameplay moment thats the entire city with people in it and my box is rendering that!
