... you are a pretty funny guy.

More here. These actually make it worthwhile to read the descriptions whenever you find something new in the game.

The similarities between Far Cry 3 and Assassin's Creed 3 are growing weirder by the minute. In a good way.

for real, especially as some of the handbook is written in a sort of third person sense, one entry about his brother says " I'm sorry about your brother"

the handbook stuff isn't written by your character. It's written by someone else you meet in the game. The very first message you get makes that kinda obvious i think.

Had quite a few laughs reading the database entries for sure. Sorta sad that it's something most people won't even notice.

My copies gonna go back to the store. Game is broken. Broken MP, performance issues with SP and glitches galore. You've done it once again Ubi.... You broke my heart.

Laughed out loud at that lotus one. Good stuff.

@TheHT: The "Why did I go hang gliding!" has to be the best though.

Yeah, noticed that, it's cool.
 
I just really disliked how Kotaku reported on it and then proceeds to put up a shitload of pictures.  But they also like to say stuff like "CHECK OUT THIS COOL *game* EASTER EGG IN *game*" complete with videos, screenshots and guides....on the second day of release. Yeah, no thanks. Games are a journey, a discovery and often a thing you spend a lot of time with so having it spoiled sucks.
 
But then again I'm the type who doesn't watch trailers because they spoil too much.

@TaliciaDragonsong: This is the first time I've literally known nothing about the game before going in, besides there being a guy with a mohawk who doesnt seem to like you very much. With the pervasiveness of trailers, dev walkthroughs, guides ad's and easter egg hunts it's pretty much impossible to go in totally fresh and really feel a game world is totally new to you.

That has nothing to do with the thread

@TaliciaDragonsong: I've been trying that this year. So far I've managed with Assassin's Creed 3 and this, oh and Walking Dead (thank god). I feel with games it's much harder not to watch those things as a buyer. With movies you might hear a director is involved or an actor and that's enough. But with games you might need to see 10-20 minutes worth of gameplay to make sure the mechanics will carry it for 8-20 hours. I do feel showing off important emotional moments in E3 demos or trailers is a massive misstep though. As games become better written more narrative driven experiences designed to elicit emotion, they need to keep everything locked up tight.
