  • I stopped playing AC when zero punctuation pointed out that the game was entirely useless gofer quests. Go over there and listen to x lines of dialog only up go back and listen to y lines of dialog only to return to the first person and listen to more… And these locations were not near eachother. It was a time sink that had little point to it.

    Other games use similar mechanics at times but often not with characters that are so far apart and/or not without some kind of fast travel system that can make the whole process faster.

    I get what they were trying to do; that specific game had new movement mechanics that I completely ignored and just wanted to get on with it. The idea was that you were supposed to learn the new mechanics while traveling between places…

    The whole thing just set me off and I stopped playing any and all AC games beyond that point. I’ll probably go back and play AC 1, maybe 2 again… But the rest… Idk if I’ll ever touch them.






  • Yeah. Needing to install using an MS account is a massively consumer hostile practice.

    I see it as Microsoft saying: “this is what’s best for you, you’ll do things this way” and giving you absolutely no way to bypass it (unless you’re like me or you… And know the tricks to do so).

    “Safe from pain, and truth, and choice, and other poison devils” …

    No, the rest of us just stopped responding to these threads. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it think.

    The kinds of people who repost this meme over and over again, are the kinds of people who don’t do updates, and the reason why updates are automatic by default on Windows. They don’t know nor care to know what is going on with their os, they just have an idea of what they expect will happen, and when something different happens, they complain and post memes about it.

    Of course, not every single person is like that, there are and always will be exceptions

    The hard truth is that most people don’t know and don’t care what’s running on their computer until it gets in their way.
