I was watching one of the recent 'Best of Giantbomb' episodes and realized I haven't seen any footage of Vinny playing VR and if you ask me that's a travesty. VR shenanigans plus Vinny and Alex? Sign me up.
But I can't think of any video I've actually seen with them. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be stupendous.
After reading a theory and rewatching the scene, I don't think it was Arya. No Needle, a look and attitude we haven't really seen from her, and she was doing things with her right hand. She's left handed and Maisie has made a point to learn to do things left-handed for the character. People are speculating it was actually the Kind Man testing the Waif, mainly because of the way the hair was parted.
I noticed during one of Aryas training montages that she was fighting right handed again. To be fair fighting with a staff like they were is probably harder to do with you off hand than a sword is.
They've spent a very long time cultivating that following. You know how these forums don't tolerate people being jerks and actively discourage petty console war arguments? Well, the Gamespot forums have for years had an officially sanctioned subforum specifically designed to allow people to argue over platform allegiances. Every fan group has their own official label within those boards, and they argue with each other nonstop and keep score of the coveted system wars by tallying gamespot review scores. It's a cesspool of total garbage that just so happens to be the most popular board on the site.
Oh man that reminds me of when GB first launched and you could pick your favorite platform and it would give you a different colored user name. I believe it was a carry over from Comicvine.
I know others have been saying this for years but I feel like the bubble burst, at least for me it did. The first Assassins Creed game is still one of my favourites of all time. I love stealth and climbing around in games, and those gameplay mechanics of social stealth and parkour were revolutionary at the time. Ever since then I've loved the series. 2 and BH are masterpieces to me, rev was a bit boring, 3 was very disappointing and I didn't even finish Unity. As a die hard fan even I've lost all my steam, I just don't care about syndicate, it looks bad.
My completion rating is close to 25% complete, but a good portion of that is side ops. I'm having a blast with the game so far despite the odd lack of story so far. However my biggest gripe is with Mother Base. I've built each platform up to level 2 and while it's a cool big base, it's so damn lifeless. There's nothing going on or nothing to do really. It's populated by a small handful of guys patrolling around having conversations once in awhile. Other than a few easter eggs, diamonds and the shower, I don't see any point to go there.
Maybe I just came in with the wrong expectations. When people were talking about how you'd be building up this big base, I pictured something along the lines of Mass Effects Normandy where you can have conversations with your crew members and see people working on different things. I don't understand why the studio would spend so much time making art assets for this massive base and then not fill it with anything. For anyone who's gotten further into the game, does the base become more interesting in any way?
Admittedly I'm early on still, but so far the lack of BB speaking has not been a problem. It's never come across as lacking, he just comes across as a quiet person, which is fine. Sure there are a lot of places where he could have said something, but he didn't feel the need to.
@village_guy: @mirado: @strife777: @geraltitude: Alright thanks for the help, guys. Looks like I'll be picking up the PS4 version tomorrow. In the end I can always buy it again on PC during a steam sale after I pick up a 980 for a 2nd playthough.
I was planning on picking this up for PC up until my 7970 died on me awhile back. Now it looks like I won't be able to afford a new card any time soon, however I do still have the option of buying this for PS4. I know it's probably smarter to just wait it out and play it on PC in a few months, but I really want to play this game and if the PS4 version is close or equal to PC, I wouldn't mind. Has there been any news about performance or graphics comparison? And if not what was the difference like between the platforms with Ground Zeros?
