    In related news, my brother just tweeted a photo of him roasting marshmallows over a lit stove.

    It's not nearly as ingenious as the picture above though.

    I... think I liked it?

    Yeah

    Strategy games are most likely not like what you remember from last time you tried them

    The last one was literally Warcraft 3

    back then RTS campaigns were incredibly bland

    You may even like the SC2 campaign, it's like the only time I've really had fun with an RTS campaign and I love RTS.

    actually, now that I think about it, ac unity might in fact be the first ac game to have only one lead character

    desmond + altair
    desmond + ezio + altair
    desmond + ezio
    desmond + ezio + altair
    desmond + haytham + ratonhnhake:ton
    aveline + ratonhnhake:ton
    kenway + aveline + adewale
    arno + maybe a disembodied camera like ac4's modern day?

    think of how much better NSMB would be if NSMB2 had been based on SMUSA

    Pick up and throw other players. Or ride on their heads.

    Didn't AC4 sorta do away with "You gotta be related to this dude to become him in the Animus" thing? Hell, Liberation did that. Brotherhood did that when they made MP an Abstergo training program.

    You can be anyone at any time. Hence the "why can't i just be a lady" argument.

    It appears the Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle is sold out everywhere in my town. Also on Amazon. I wonder if they have already discontinued that model.

    Also I should add, anecdotally, there have been Xbones and PS4 in stock. And in a few places one Mario Luigi bundle still.

    yeah the problems with that make-shift hot tub all involve people slipping and falling into it / knocking it over somehow

    There's a part of Wolfenstein where a bad guy is startled by you surviving something and he's like there must be something seriously wrong with your cerebral cortex!

    And in one line they encapsulate the sort of character he is and why he is and it doesn't come off as ham handed or too fourth wall breaking, and comment on violent games a little too.

    It's just good.

    Ladies are also related to dudes, so the whole genetic memory thing allows for that in the first place, even if they did dump it later on.

    okay, so, question

    has there ever been an open world superpower game

    with a super jump

    where you when you jump up and land on a car

    the car's roof caves in

    i don't mean like you do a ground pound attack

    just a normal basic jump has you coming down with all the speed and force that a person would have from falling a few hundred feet

    corollary is there one where when you jump it severely damages the pavement

    i think prototype did that but i'm not sure

    i really really hate the default button layout for smash bros on classic controllers/wii u pads

    they just assign the same functions to the buttons with the same name as the GC pad with no regard to the fact that the button placement is different

    it feels way better to have Y be the attack button instead of A, then your thumb naturally rests on the attack, special, and jump buttons all at once

    They were memories that were 'captured' from Desmond by Abstergo.

    I might be misremembering, but I think one of the audio logs mentioned that replaying memories was easier for male descendants, for reasons.

    Probably too hard to program the Animus for women.

    Well
    The lead scientist on the original Animus project was a woman and she performed a lot of the early experiments on herself.

    Wasn't it that it was easier to replay memories of your own gender and potentially dangerous if you didn't?
    In regards to that guy who went cuckoo when he turned out to be a descendant of, I want to say, Jeanne D'Arc.

    Doesn't help for the supervised demos but I appreciate that smash bros lets you reassign everything, which is super rare for nintendo titles

    Any sort of story reason as to why women have difficulty using the Animus can be fixed by just saying 'we fixed that issue'.
