Assassin's Creed tried new things that split the fanbase in two. I like both sides of the coin with this franchise with the classic style vs RPG style.
What has turned me off is the drop in quality with not just this franchise but all Ubisoft games. All ubi games have dropped significantly quality wise that it's hard to look at or listen to.
The amount of mainstream Youtubers and users on this app trying to generate hate click and hate engage over #GTA6 is embarrassing especially when you can go back and see them glaze it for positive engagement since trailer 1 dropped.
The microtransactions and MyFaction persona cards are killing this franchise. As long as idiots keep dumping their paychecks to get all the required cards to play for a persona it's not going away. This game had very little to offer this year. The first time I deleted a WWE game just 4 months after buying.
I've been working on this for a while now and we're finally able to talk about it! WOLVERINE PARADISE. A new 5 issue series from @Marvel. I've been a fan of Logan since I was a kid -writing and drawing a retro series like this is a dream come true! I hope you'll give it a shot!
Hear me out🚀
It wasn’t exclusivity
It wasn’t “money-hatting” third party
It wasn’t acquisitions
It wasn’t console wars
It wasn’t “woke” vs. “anti-woke”
It wasn’t “entitled gamers”
It wasn’t COVID or “the economy”
It was the last two CEOs on both sides that single-handedly ruined gaming’s biggest makers, with live service, greed, cookie-cutter creations and the most terrible decisions that only talented creators and studios paid for with closures🎤
Anthony Bourdain had what looked like the best job on the planet. He got paid to roam the world eating whatever he wanted, and strangers everywhere told him things they would never tell a reporter. Eight years ago today, he died by suicide at 61.
For almost thirty years before any of that, he was a cook nobody had heard of, working long hot shifts for little money. He was in his forties when he wrote a book spilling the secrets of what really goes on behind restaurant doors, and almost overnight, the unknown cook became a star.
What made him different was that he never faked it. Other travel hosts smiled at pretty views and pretended to love everything. Bourdain sat on plastic stools in back alleys and ate exactly what the people there ate. Then he got them talking about their real lives, and they trusted him enough to tell him the truth.
He went to places most shows stayed away from, like the Congo, Gaza, Iran, and New Orleans right after Hurricane Katrina. He once ate noodles at a tiny plastic-table joint in Vietnam with a sitting US president. His show Parts Unknown ran for twelve seasons and won a dozen Emmy Awards along with a Peabody, the top prize in broadcasting. It made a food show feel like real reporting on the world.
His death was so shocking because of the gap between the life everyone saw and the life he was actually living. Here was the guy who looked freer than anyone on TV, doing the job millions of people dreamed about, and the pain underneath was almost invisible to the people around him. He had actually talked about it in the open: on camera he once described how something as small as a bad meal could drop him into days of feeling low, and he had written about his heroin addiction from when he was young. None of it fit the cheerful, curious man people thought they knew.
He died just days after the designer Kate Spade died the same way, and that week, calls to the national crisis line jumped 65 percent. The conversation that followed kept circling one hard fact: the life you envy from the outside can be sitting right on top of pain you cannot see. What he left behind is bigger than any of the awards. He taught a whole generation that the fastest way to understand a stranger is to sit down and eat what they eat.
I see Dead Space 1 & 2 as borderline masterpieces. It blows my mind that this franchise isn't pumping out games like SH & RE 😭 I dream of a DS2 remake or DS4
