Depressing. Please, no more Fallout 3 news. Could we agree on that?

This guy actually doesn't seem so bad. Super Mario Galaxy and Assasin's Creed? AC kicks ass.

A demonstration of local character assassination. Delightful. :drunk:

I just read up on Assassin's Creed, and I must say I've never heard such a stupid story:

You're an ancestor of some assassins and you use a machine to travel into the memories of the past. Uh... right. WHO THE FUCK CARES?!

And you like travel to "historically correct" places and kill people. So I have an idea about how the game ends:

The historic figures all die or disappear.
The assassin survives (how else would he spawn descendants?).
You invent the SANDY HASHISHIN, a drink so good, even strict Muslims would drink it.

Alternative:

Half way through the game you get out of your trip to the memories of the past and some nasty cunt rocks up and goes on about revenge and how you will pay for your ancestors murders. So you boot some ass, shatter bones, poison children and rape their goats and mothers like in the good old days and you also save New York. But New Jersey will be destroyed but no one really cares.

alternative:

You meet Franz Kafka. And then you wake up...

yes, the story is unbelievable at best, but shanking people with your little hide-a-knife never gets old.

why has no one commented on the fact that he is a japanophile?
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

Sushi and Origami don't make him a Japanophile, they make him a swell guy.

There's nothing wrong with eating sushi, but I wouldn't try to make it.

And yeah, Origami is pretty gay.

He's a geek. Big whoop. :bored:

AC on the other hand is great fun. Not even cazim can destroy it with his endorsement.

Sushi's -so- easy to make and homemade actually tastes better than most restaurant or store-bought stuff, unless we're up in a price range where it would just have to be a damn special occasion to buy it.

That hurts. Badly. But the AI does seem to go about regular "business" - however, one thing that did bother me (especially after games like GTA which it was *somewhat* modeled after) - no day/night transition.

Dialogue is about the same quality wise IMHO - but at least in AC you can damage people from your horse and don't have to get off every time you want to attack, although I had some difficulty timing my swing correctly from horseback.

These "news" make we want to carve my eyes out.
