Seriously, that critique is on my top ten of shit I'm bored of hearing in the field.

@Inkarnate

There's this prevailing thought that I, a noted fan of Ubisoft's open world stab game, is somehow against games with outdated side quests when that is not the case if I like stabbing dudes in said world which I suspect I will in Tsushima

But also yes the constant need for reviewers to use lazy comparisons to other things is never not the worst

All I'm hearing from that is that I'm better than Ernest Cline which is a low bar but I'll take the compliment.

What character archetypes/characteristics do you gravitate towards?

All my characters are gay as fuck

Yeah it's a key ingredient in a Shitpost Stew

Second Son had interesting ideas but was just sort of unpolished, which makes it the direct opposite of 90% of AC games.

I only expect Ghost to be better than something like Oddessy, which should make it just bearable enough to tide me over until Wasteland 3

@Dolerman

I doubt it'll be better than Odyssey you can't even get a boat with Davy Jones, Charon, Herakles, and Richard the Lionheart so it can't even compete.

Also nothing in Second Son was as interesting as alien cyber deities and Adam and Eve being human slaves in a technologically advanced precursor city and said cyber deities would go on to influence religion and humanity's advancement while also guiding the conflict of ideologies up to and including one of them getting mad and hanging out in Ubisoft's mainframe fucking around while you slave away testing a game made by out of touch directors and staffers with the only sign of your inevitable crunch being little figure statues of other characters on your desk shelf in a rare bit of accidental meta commentary on the banal and thankless job making a video game most people will stop talking about in two months is. You can see the exact moment when the game is screaming for help from the player but nothing can be done because deadlines have to be met and the bonus won't happen this year because it's just not in the budget now hurry up and figure out a way to add a cash shop to a single player game because everyone loves those get back to your desk and work you nameless, faceless cog in the AAA machine that is being occupied by a vengeful super being whose plotline will get resolved in a comic book because we decided to go in a different direction that will split the fanbase between those who actually liked the rote mechanics of following someone and not letting a meter fill up and those who actually prefer the series be an RPG because it's more fun to murder and fuck as a Greek woman than it is to play literally any other character we've made.

And who says Assassin's Creed isn't influential?

@Dolerman

Even fans of Assassin's Creed will tell you that Assassin's Creed is more derivative than not. This is more like Sucker Punch doing a Second Son all over again.

War Diaries Acera: An Isekai RP Concept

Well Valkyria Chronicles is cool so I'm down

By the sounds of reviews Ghost of Tsushima is one of those 'boy it looks pretty but boy its design is archaic' games woop woop.

Open world game design could use an overhaul going into the next gen.

Watch Dogs Legion feels both tone deaf and also incredibly outdated and Ubisoft isn't fooling anyone when they say that the people you recruit are going to have 'recruitment missions' as if they're going to be anything other than something that rivals a Bethesda radiant quest in terms of banality. But hey you can be an old woman haha isn't that funny, who cares about consistency of tone that shit's so analog.

Not that I have any room to talk, I'm genuinely looking forward to Valhalla.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla looks fuckin dope
