Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

@Kidfried Thanks! It’s been an awesome year!
And that’s a good idea about the introduction thread. When I started posting a year ago, after lurking for many months, I just jumped in. I felt comfortable doing so after watching for a while at how civil and friendly everyone is, but an opportunity to intro oneself may make it less intimidating for newbies.

@Tasuki hey do you know if we have or had an Unpopular Gaming Opinions thread, i couldn't find one but i thought it might be a fun idea

For Honor is currently free for PC players (it's not a trial and you'll get to keep the game). There's also a up to 75% discount in the PS Store for PS4 players.

@FullbringIchigo I know NL has one, but I don't think we ever had one.

@Tasuki so i'm ok to make one then, cool

Phew, I’m playing a game again after over a week and a half not having time for them. I’m playing AC: Unity because I love it and it’ll be easy to put done again for who knows how long. Finally can push square again instead of just completing squares in math.
Edit: playing this in French is actually neat, fixes the dang accent issues.

I'm disgusted at myself, but I'm thinking of buying Ass Creed Origins today. It is (or was) £35 in the digital sale, but Game have it for £25 apparently? I don't know if that is in store or online only though. I might pop in on my lunch. The new one looked pretty good at E3 so...

@Kidfried I have, I thought it was decent, but Unity was far superior. The history far less accurate, with the train not being there to start (not in London until a later year), and it’s impact was felt in the world. Unity was very interesting to look at because it felt like a genuine labor of love and was meant to be very accurate with many animus entires to read about literally everything you’ll do in the game. Every side-quest was based on something. Syndicate missed that feeling. The grappling was also lazy, a way to not put as jug effort in the world for parkour, heck, I don’t use it and it doesn’t need it. It’s too much historically to accept, they couldn’t even think of a reason so a random thug had it for no reason. Combat also wasn’t as good and the weapons were all the same. Crowd blending was a mess too, so walking had no real purpose, which was shame because the hat-hood transition is the coolest idea ever.
It also the lacked the creativity of Unity, with all the bombs you cleanly Assassinate or steal anything pretty cleanly and it didn’t feel like specific solutions had been set up. I liked being able to whistle too, but would have rather had the cherry bomb again. Overall it was decent, but felt rushed and with less thought out mechanics to move it away from Unity after the disaster of a launch.

Just saw a blind woman crossing the road. She nailed it, but that must suck. Enjoy your eyes, guys!!

lol

Good advice though

@kyleforrester87 Here, here! Blind gaming would be really tough. Pretty sure I’d want to find a new hobby if I lost my sight. But it does remind me of that song by The Who, “Pinball Wizard.”

Getting ready to play God Of War and took 10 minutes to find my controller lol.

@Kidfried Thank you! 😂

Hi. I just discovered this site from a friend of mine and I hope we get along fine.

I am expecting my pre-ordered copy of New Gundam Breaker to arrive on the 25th of June. Can't wait to build my my own Gunpla. Anyone here a Gundam fan?

@Kidfried 🤣 Brilliant!
I’ve been trying to think of a second verse:

🎵 He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the Dual Shock 4
Feeling analog and triggers
He jumps into the war
The TV is still turned off
So skilled, he slays all morale
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean royale 🎶

...Eh, not as good as yours. Song writing is harder than it looks. Lol.

I’m at a play for Remeo and Juliet right now. It’s about to start. I’m pretty excited.

@Jaz007 nice. Although it's 1am here and I'm exhausted, so the idea of watching a Romeo and Juliet play is pretty grim from my current perspective!

@Jaz007 Spoilers - They break up at the end.

Random thought...

Being an adult is overrated.

@Splat it's.. weird.
