    The Thread where I air my grievances with the Assassins' Creed series SPOILERS EVERYWHERE

    You aren't forced to fight that mercenary, just avoid him for now. Go do other stuff to level up and try later. There are enough side missions and question marks on Kefalonia to reach the same level as the mercenary and defeat him with not too much issue.

    GTA V re-release on next gen consoles to cost $75

    The shop page shown in the tweet is from the Dutch branch of a multinational retailer from Germany, but the other national branches of the same company do not even list next-gen versions of GTA V, let alone at €75. On top of that, I can only find one other retailer where it's priced at €75 (also...

    The $299 Xbox Series S - "Next gen performance in smallest Xbox ever"

    I understand that people are apprehensive about buying a next-gen device that's technically inferior to its predecessor in some ways, and to many (including myself), the $200 savings won't be worth the disadvantages the Series S has compared to the Series X. However, the fact that there will be...

    Poll: Worst reboot franchise this gen? Tomb raider or Wolfenstien?

    I like how you specify "reboot franchise", as if there were that many reboots this generation to actually become a series. If you wanted to guide people into agreeing with you purely on a technicality, you might as well have gone for "worst reboot franchise set in an alternate reality...

    Games that are ruined by going open world?

    Now that you mention it, he's been pretty quiet about WorthABuy lately. Probably still angry from when WAB named Red Dead Redemption 2 game of the year and he had to tear all of the Mack posters from his bedroom wall.

    Game of Thrones Final Season Discussion Thread. (SPOILERS ABOUND, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)

    A large portion of online discussions I've seen about the last two episodes went roughly this way: - Person 1 inflates a relatively petty complaint (Starbucks cup, Ghost not getting a proper goodbye from Jon, Gendry having the wrong bastard surname) into some sort of grand symbol of the...

    Gaming Unpopular opinion

    - I absolutely cannot stand anime-style visual design, so much so that it puts me off even trying well-received games that use it. I will never play games like Final Fantasy XV, Nier: Automata, Ni No Kuni, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The overdesigned, inconsistent...

    Would you upgrade? (980ti to 1080)

    I wouldn't. I have a GTX 970 that I'm still plenty happy with, even though I upgraded to a 4k monitor since I bought it. I'm going to try to hold out for the first card under $500 that does 4k60 at maxed setting on reasonably well-optimized new games. I realize this may take quite a while, but I...

    Poll: Metro Exodus vs Far Cry 5 vs Wolfenstein the new colossus. which of 3 upcoming SP FPS will own?

    I voted Far Cry 5 because I'm probably going to put the most time in it of the three, but I expect Wolfenstein to be a more quality product overall. I'm not even slightly interested in Metro.

    Bethesdaland!

    Damn, if there's one theme park where I wouldn't go on any of the rides, it would be a Bethesda theme park.

    What do you predict your 2017 "Game of the Year" will be?

    From what has been announced so far, probably either Super Mario Odyssey or Red Dead Redemption 2 (based only on how much I liked previous installments in those series). It's way too early to call though, obviously.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Confirmed for Nintendo Switch

    With the gaming industry's sad history of false advertising, I don't blame you. However, the idea of Skyrim SE running on the Switch is hardly outlandish enough to assume the worst. Sure, the Switch is going to be less powerful than the PS4 and X1 ? probably significantly so ? but the fact...

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Confirmed for Nintendo Switch

    Wait, what am I missing here? The footage in the announcement clearly IS Skyrim SE, as evidenced by the density of grass and the added small rocks among other things. Whether the Switch version will actually look like that is another thing, but why would you think it's getting the original...

    Game of Throne's Daenerys Will be in The Han Solo Movie

    She's not an actor who can elevate poor or mediocre material (such as most of Daenerys's post-season 1 plots and every major feature film she's been in so far), but she can be servicable when propped up by decent material (such as Daenerys's season 1 plot). We'll see.

    Games where using a shotgun feels awesome/Games where the shotgun sucks

    The ones that immediately stick out as the most satisfying are the shotguns in the Soldier of Fortune games, FEAR, and Wolfenstein: The New Order \ The Old Blood, simply because they all make such a satisfying mess of enemies. I'm sure there are many more, though. The worst ones are...
