I just played a bit of Watch Dogs: Legion after some time away from it and three of my favorite operators died in very quick succession. Please keep them, and me, in your thoughts as I go through this trying time.

[The first Galactic Republic]

That there was more going on than just the Crusades and that Altair’s conflict with the Templars has directly continued on into Desmond’s time was part of what made the first game so interesting. But they lost the relevance of the modern day stuff when Desmond died. Now it’s an artifact of the series.

They should just focus on historical stuff, and if they feel the need to resolve the modern day storyline, they could shift it into the lore of Watchdogs. Say Abstergo defeated the Assassins as an organization but that hacker groups are aware of their hegemony and are now opposing them on their own or something.

I have to ask you though... How would they bring that back?

Assassins' Creed 4 is one of the most celebrated games in the series not just for it's boat mechanics and combat, but also because it's the game that focuses the least on modern day shit, it's an ancillary adventure game at best that is never more important than the main game, because the main story is interesting enough.

TBH, the assassin genetic memory shit just feels like a frame story excuse to just make video games about whatever things they want... And not a very good one.

I seriously doubt they would do that, it's more likely that the Abstergo shit is just either going to get worse or it's going to be dropped altogether.

I’m not sure how it could be made interesting again. I like the recurring war between the Assassins and Templars, but they might as well get rid of the modern day stuff.

Blatantly wrong shit like this is why I will never respect anybody's negative opinion on the modern day, ever. Literally every single game since Rogue has not even remotely had as much modern day in it as both Black Flag and Rogue do. You don't even get any "playable" segments in Unity and Syndicate. Hell, the more I think about it, the more I can't decide which game has less, Unity or Odyssey.

I've said it before but I'd totally savescum the fuck out of that game if it was me playing it.

I remember Black Flag having quite a lot of modern day segments. Probably third most after the first game and Brotherhood.

Black Flag was the absolute worst about that. Literally just an office worker forced to walk everywhere you go.

They’re at least trying with Layla in the newer ones.

The big twist for the tall vampire lady is going to be that you learn actually she's normal human height and just likes to live in a small house to feel big and you're actually just really small.

Yeah, as I recall there was a lot of faffing about in that office in Black Flag.

There's a surprising amount of cool stuff to be found in Black Flag's modern day. Throughout the entire Assassin's Creed series, up until that point, I had no strong opinions on Desmond Miles as a character. Then I heard his audio files in Black Flag's modern day. And so I've loved him ever since. And mild spoiler alert, we got more files in Valhalla. The more Nolan North comes back to voice a dead character, the more I like Desmond. Dude could've probably cut loose from AC a long time ago, but he's still coming back.

I feel like people don't even try to explore the modern day segments (when applicable), which is why people view it as a distraction, they don't even know what they're missing out on.

I think the first time I played I made a point of checking all the files and things I could, but on any replay I just got right back to pirate times.

So Mass Effect Legendary Edition they'll edit the cutscenes with Miranda's butt but the third game ending will remain unchanged hum.

Probably a different camera angle to stop you looking at the A S S

I wonder if they think changing the camera angles will stop the news media from bitching about the sex and adult themes in the game, like they did a decade ago.

Sounds like the perfect thing for internet outrage merchants and twitter anons to blow out of proportion.

And here I was hoping they were going to fix the lack of same-sex romance options, but I guess they are too focused on concealing ass.

Probably not

But Mass Effect isnt in the spotlight that much any more

[The New California Republic]

More whispers that Silent Hill might be coming back.

Wow They lose the source code to Pinnacle Station DLC man that was best place to x gear gear off.

I can already imagine all the videos those right-wing gaming channels will make....
