  • All I remember from Unity and Syndicate is that you're a hacker helping out the Assassin's, something something Phoenix project. something something sequence Isu Genome. It's disappointing because done right i could see myself liking it.

    On the subject of Mirage, I've seen gameplay and it looks closer to the older games i like. How's the parkour though? Is it still that awkward feeling RPG Parkour like what Shadows has? (This might just be a me thing)

  • Damn, another Sci-fi movie too watch. Honestly Sci-fi horror doesn't do a lot for me (The scariest thing to me in Alien was that the cat could die, for example), but i still love the experience. I'll have to queue up a watch party with my friend group

  • I didn’t necessarily mind the Isu being in the present day in the newer games, but I wish they’d just commit to one damn plotline. Even now it feels like they dropped Basim and are doing this whole “Dark Animus” thing unless there’s something I’m missing there

  • They were basically just some extra filler (in my opinion) that consists of:

    The apple of Eden gets stolen by a third party. He uses it to control people and destroy some art. Ezio kills him. Gets it back. Then goes and kills the Pope

    Honestly I think it would have been better placed after the story and just taking the templars out of it. But gameplay wasn’t so bad, except the last part where you have to assassinate 9 targets. Gave me flashbacks to AC Shadows right there

  • It's a work in progress for sure lmao, especially since i found out the settings on my monitor were all jacked up. I ended up just tossing it out and keeping a few filters i liked that didn't mess with colors. It's more muted but a lot less harsh with the reds. Though reshade keeps turning the old preset back on so i get the privilege of trying to fix that.

  • It's possible my monitor's settings were responsible for the dead feeling lmao. I found out today the Contrast and shit were cranked way up to max from the last time i was playing a game with some friend. I had turned them up for some extra visibility and just got used to them being that way.

    I set my monitor the default "Picture" mode and just tossed out any sort of filters that mess with color. Instead i just kept Ambient Lighting and AMD CAS as i like how it makes edges look a little sharper. Though, Reshade seems to love defaulting back to one of my other presets so i have to figure out how to fix that

  • Yeah, i've been messing with the saturation lately and seeing what i like. I had it off in most of the cities and messed with that too but i don't know... something about it seems dead to me. I downloaded something that instead cleans up the color grading in engine, so i might just ditch reshade and stick with that entirely just so i don't keep messing with Reshade. I have a problem where if you give me settings like that i will mess with them just to try things out

    I liked Black Flags modern day on the first playthrough, but any replays it just bogs down the whole thing i find. It really was carried by story. Once that's gone there's nothing really there.

  • I love Unity's multiplayer conceptually, but every time i try and play it i end up having a bad experience with lag or something. Besides that though i really liked it. Giving the bugs time to be stamped out really helped it. A shame it didn't launch in that state

  • The games I grew up with were Unity and Black Flag, so getting to go back and experience Ezio is fun. I’m finally starting to see why a lot of people love him

  • Controller. Specifically PS3. I have a lot of respect for people who play the franchise with Keyboard and Mouse but I could not be one of them

  • It wasn’t too bad on PC but that may have been my monitor, but there were some segments where it didn’t look great

  • I'm so glad i went into it blind, i love it but knowing me it'd be like playing something like Undertale having everything spoiled. There's just not much motive for me there because (to me) the main draw is the story. OneShot does a lot for experience too, but I'm so glad i went in blind.

    It's good too have a space like a minecraft server too i find, especially for friends that aren't as drawn in to something like Halo, which is my usual go to "social" game

  • It took a bit to get them on. Honestly a lot of them were brought by other friends. I hope you get some people to fill it though! It’s a hell of a fun experience

  • I honestly kept checking my math daily these last 5 days or so to make sure it was 730 because it just doesn’t sound right.

    I do still have the numbers too. I’ll have to check but I believe Assassin’s Creed as a franchise was around ~25 posts. Shadows took up the most at 17 Posts though i remember. Mario Kart was in the 10s of digits too.

    I honestly meant to release the list but that was before I realized how difficult parsing it would be with a script. Plus I didn’t think through how I’d share it and I didn’t want to introduce a moving part to take care of (even if it probably wouldn’t need much maintenance at all)

    One shot was a brief 2 posts, that i remember. If I was still on my PC with the files I’d offer to get you the Numbers but unfortunately I’ve developed a bad habit of writing these on bed in my phone

  • Thanks. It really doesn’t feel like it’s been 2 years though. It’s been a blast doing these though

  • Damn, i wish i had known the Hidden Blade was an insta kill. It mentioned something about a "short blade" but i could never figure it out so i assumed there was a mechanic i missed. It must have been the hidden blade it was talking about

  • The combat was where i struggled the most, especially the segments where it throws you into combat with like 10 enemies. Towards the end there were like 3 of these sections back to back and it was tiring. I did like the story though. Altair especially gained a few points with me

  • I did eagle patch for 1, definitely planning that for AC 2 as well. I might not touch the parkour mods though. I tried cheat engine for 1 in an exercise to make a free cam (I wanted to make a psuedo photo mode for myself), but just couldn't get it to launch.

  • I love sharing them! I figure at best i provide an interesting picture for people to stop and look at, so it's reassuring in a way to know i've reached people in that way

  • It's been awesome doing it! I honestly didn't expect people to be so supportive of it, nor did i expect to be doing it 2 years later. I just kind of assumed at most i'd leave behind a digital footprint consisting of some mediocre screenshots. And then here i am nearly 2 years later and it's evolved into full on pseudo-writeups
