[QUOTE=Blazedol;45355367]Speaking of Assassin's Creed, I think 1's the best in terms of gameplay[/QUOTE] I'm actually the opposite. AC1 had the best story and characters, but the worst gameplay in comparison to the other games in the series.
[QUOTE=Alice3173;45355711]They should use some restraint sometimes though. If they're outright shoving your face in it it's quite annoying. But on the flip side, especially here on FP from what I've seen, some people have some awfully absurd definitions of shoving it in your face too. It's irritating as hell when you're looking for something specific and 90% of what you're finding is subject x Sonic or MLPified trash though. Kinda difficult to ignore in a case like that, no?[/QUOTE] Sure, but in most cases you can find somewhere else to look for it But I wonder what place is so filled with that
I really dislike people that make statements like this: "X country is acting like a spoiled child in a toy store" or "X country is like that weird kid in class that noone likes" or whatever. I don't think it adds anything to the discussion and I think it's utterly meaningless to make posts in that fashion. And I think this is an unpopular opinion because of how well received those kind of posts are.
We should realy just bugger having national governments and instead shift towards relying on international ones (like the EU) It annoys me how 'europe' is an issue in the UK. If anything, I trust the EU more than our current government. It's not going to relieve my fear of 'corporations are taking over' *tinfoil hat* but it's better to have The best from all over europe dictating out lives than a collection of one country's MPs.

At least if you dislike the UKs policies you could move out if the UK is in the something area of the EU.

[QUOTE=The golden;45355564]Ubisoft is also the company which has said nothing but a constant stream of lies lately so I would take that with an ocean of salt[/QUOTE] That's why I said "According to Ubi".
What I don't get is why a series called "Assassin's Creed" even needs to concern itself much with direct face to face combat Your greatest edge should be using hiding places and agility to plan your approach, get the drop on your target, then freerunning out of the place before the bodyguards/soldiers realize what just happened If you're taking on a half dozen soldiers directly with no attempt at being covert (which is sometimes the only option given to you) then by definition you aren't much of an assassin
"The Oatmeal" is really shit half of it reads like a cracked article from 6 years ago

Now they're just fancily robed men running, jumping, and stabbing. such is the life.

In the first game, you could only ever blend with scholars who were also wearing long white robes, and that made sense because you look like the people you're trying to hide with. It doesn't work in [I]any[/I] other AssCreed game because the equipment and bright, abnormal clothing makes Ezio/Connor/Edward/Arnaud stand out like a sore thumb in the middle of a crowd. But they made the blend mechanic function as normal anyway, it makes no sense at all. The best thieves or killers or assassins are the ones who are dressed like [I]normal fucking people[/I] and keep a knife strapped to their thigh or hidden up their sleeve or something.

[QUOTE=thelurker1234;45361655]The best? You mean the pretty basic killers.[/QUOTE] In the time periods the games take place in, yes, the best.
FO3 was better than FNV.
I kind of enjoyed Shrek the Third and i think Forever After is far worse
I like M. Night Shyamalan's movies.

Snowden is important because he confirmed the suspicions. If it weren't for him NSA's acts would be but a conspiracy theory, maybe somewhat realistic, but without any evidence at hand. So basically time for this thread's old saying, there's a difference between having an unpopular opinion and being just plain wrong.
[QUOTE=The golden;45365398]FNV has one of the worst intro/starter areas of any game I've played in a long time. I've tried playing that game multiple times but I get 10 minutes into the starting town and I feel like raking my eyes out and just quit out. I've heard so many good things about the later content by holy shit does that game give one awful first impression.[/QUOTE] The intro area is pretty much entirely optional, after you walk out of the doctor's house you can go wherever.
Not entirely true. If you don't go along the highway through Primm, Nipton. Etc. You end up in deathclawtopia or cazadoropolis, pretty much a death sentence at a low level.
That and Yes Man are the reason I never finished New Vegas
I like Yes Man. He was my bestest pal :c [editline]12th July 2014[/editline] And how can you not love that smile?
[QUOTE=Skyward;45366589]I like Yes Man. He was my bestest pal :c [editline]12th July 2014[/editline] And how can you not love that smile?[/QUOTE] He made the plot feel kinda really contrived to me and he seemed less like a character and more like a signpost or a travel guide Again, though, I never finished the game so maybe he has hidden depths that I missed, I really should try and do a proper playthrough
Ah, I thought you meant him as a character, but in that sense I sort of agree. Its actually my most major complaint with the independent Vegas arch. Though if you don't like him, you can always side with the NCR, Ceasar, or House.

So basically time for this thread's old saying, there's a difference between having an unpopular opinion and being just plain wrong.[/QUOTE] But this is something we've known for a while now. It's not hard to figure that higher powers like to make sure people are trying to overthrow them or something. All I'm saying is I'm tired of hearing this noise.
The thing is we didn't [i]know[/i]. We had a very good hunch at best. But without evidence or proof, everything was just within theoretical plane. Snowden was the guy that pushed it over the edge - you can't argue against his evidence. It's like with Higgs' boson, we had been 99% sure it's a thing but we couldn't be 100% sure until we got proof that in fact exists. Before that we had "known" for decades, although we couldn't take it for granted so it wasn't really important. Now we can be sure and that is what matters much more. Basically now we have full right to publicly call US out for spying on everything ever while we couldn't before, we could only quietly whisper and give them funny looks because anything beyond that would be just wild speculation, no matter how probable. It's about as huge for politics as the discovery of Higgs' boson was for science - except in a negative meaning.
But spying has existed for over a MILLENNIA! Every country fucking practices espionage. So what?
Spying is much older than that. But nobody wants to be spied on, especially politicians. The sort of guys that have the power to change the direction the earth is spinning and don't want anyone messing with their scheme. Snowden opened a can of worms and poured it's contents all over the boardgame that is the world, which puts him in a really funny position. So yeah much like with Higgs' boson, we mortals think it's boring and has no meaning to us, but we might be in for a surprise. It's pretty nearsighted to think Snowden's or NSA's doings are going to have no impact on our lives, in fact it's already changing the course of history.
The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys are bland and overrated. Show me how they aren't, please.
