Return to its roots by not including the blood mage (or something similar) class because it’s too evil…. Right because BioWare games don’t let you make choices including evil ones at their roots…

@Athrum You can pause game with turn based mode to achieve the same basic thing at least. But I do agree.

Sounds like a ton of fun, but I feel like we’re gonna get another GTP gotcha which will ruin a lot of it.

I’m looking forward to the new evil endings, a year later my first playthrough might get an actual ending to it.

I've had fun playing this flat on PC and have heard good things about the VR from a friend on PC, I'll easily get this unless I hear the port is just terrible.

This game was great in the PS2. I’m glad to see it get a remaster. I’m interested in this one.

@nomither6 I want another War for Cybertron type game or at least a remaster. It’s a shame that’s stuck on the PS3.
That series just needs some better melee and we’ll be set.

It was hard to figure out what to after Resi 7 or 8:Villagev

It sounds like I should my PS3 HD copy instead, that would be simpler and easier.

Remake or remaster?
This is an expensive remake or remaster, it costs more than the original did at launch. I played a little back in the day.

Persona has great romance and I don’t see why it would be an issue here, rulers often also like to use their power lol.

@Porco Well, if it worked with discs that would be the really amazing thing.

That looks pretty cool, if they do the town aspect well enough I might grab it.

I’m shocked 30 million people even know Netflix has games.

@AdamNovice At least do this I’ll consider getting this one again, because Astrobot is a VR franchise first and foremost to me.
I’m not happy with the lack of PSVR2 stuff since it’s such a great headset.

I hope this goes on long enough for me to sign on and fight for the children.

It won’t be very good, this isn’t surprising at all. It looked this way from the start.
But don’t trash Golden Abyss like that, that was a good game.

If it's like the one in the PS3 HD collection, it'll be super easy to get too. I wish we could just get the HD collection or an upgraded version of that to be honest.

Astrobot will day one if it gets PSVR2 support, but flat I I’m not super interested. Astrobot won me over in VR, and will keep me in VR.

@Ralizah The collectibles are awful, but getting points for your purchases which turn into money is actually pretty nice.

I have $20 unredeemed on that, they better put it back or at least let us redeem our points.

I mean, if they want to redo the game to make you actually feel like a student, sure, otherwise just do a sequel that does it all better and focuses on the student aspect.

@AK4tywill Kojima’s last game had a director’s cut, I’m not sure if he abandoned it.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 is failed vaporware at this point. It’s never coming.

This sounds so cool. Samurai Warriors 5 made me so uninterested because it redid the art style so it would work on the Switch. This is the way, get Warriors off the Switch Warriors is such an easy power push for new hardware.

@get2sammyB The Alien Incursion headline is in there twice.

PSVR2 mode or bust.

Always being more visual novels to consoles, especially the ones that just aren’t localized.

I saw, that’s pretty cool. I need to watch season 2 of the anime, as season was pretty good. It also any as fanservice heavy as the it sounds like here.

It’s just a promotion. If you have that many points, you can already just buy it through getting money for your points. So in practice, this offers nothing. I’m surprised they don’t even do $5 off with this.

There’s no way this works, best part of the show leaves because he believes they’re ruining it and the writers dislike the original material. He shouldn't have taken the gig, it’s a sinking ship.

To be honest, there's a decent chance the next game is more scrutinized. they got away with not even attempting to make the third act look finished in BG3, I'm not sure if hiding behind an excellent act 1 will work again. If they keep up the habit of horrible third acts, one day people might start caring.

@Cloud39472 I appreciate the apology man. A lot of people would just double down, so thanks!

@Cloud39472 You see, now you're just arguing in bad faith with the racism by making assumptions. I don't know how to interpret this other than assuming that anyone who disagrees with you here is racist, which is very wrong and I really hope I'm wrong about that interpretation.

AC has lore that is special, yes, but it's treated as extraordinary and the people in history act like it's out of place and doesn't belong. It takes a lot of care with the history outside of that.

Leonardo made helicopter designs and all sorts of thing they didn't have the tech to build, so that's fine and a neat nod to the real man.

But Ragnorok, oh boy, Valhalla's story is a mess and the total fantasy it turns into is awful. It has assassin stuff shoved in and from what I've read all around is careless with the history is a rather offensive manner for the series. Odin? Really, Odin? This isn't some AC conspiracy lore, this is... I don't even know what they're trying to do.
Valhalla should not have been an AC game and is a terrible use of the name.

I also disliked and felt the liberties that Syndicate took, the grappling hook wasn't even attempted to have justification, and the train wasn't there with a lame "stomach ache" excuse, and I could feel the lack of care and love for the history compared to Unity.

Plenty has ruined the AC games lately. You see, you just made a weird assumption that none of that bothered me, because for some reason people like assuming racism without any good reason. I've been moaning about the state of AC for years, I just didn't include years worth of moaning for this particular discussion. I could keep going with my moaning about other AC games if you'd like, I have enough material to write a book.

@PuppetMaster You see, not 100% accurate is not a justification to abandoning history entirely and I think that claim is just dumb.
However, at least your consistent with a the bizarre idea of a Japanese protagonist of a game that should be about social stealth in Africa. I think that’s horrible and would push back.

@themightyant Counter point, don't use a real person as a protagonist. Take inspiration from the many others that could have been for a much more rounded and in-setting idea.

@Cloud39472 Yasuke was a one off oddity that stands out. He's not a natural selection for a Japanese AC at all or the way they interact with so much of history. The fact that a one-off oddity that is being based on one real person (no one person was used for a character before) to justify shows this.
You should be pulling from a group of many examples in history to make an AC protagonist.
It's a square in a round hole even if the square existed one time.

@themightyant This goes beyond creative liberties at a point. Part AC history is to use real people as NPCs that fits in the history, hence why the MC(s) should be a fictional Japanese character. Yasuke should be in the game as an NPC that's an ode to his real role in history.
AC has been playing too loose with history for a while now. Some fiction doesn't justify just ignoring history and I don't except much love or accuracy for history from the game in general.

I do find the racism claims amusing. If they included a lone Irish guy for an African AC, I wonder how many of the same people would call the pushback against that racist?

@Cloud39472 Maybe the inclusion of one doesn’t negate something not making sense elsewhere? It’s not about having a “token representative” so what happens elsewhere doesn’t matter.

@themightyant The pirates were usually and often European, so for him to be a pirate that’s actually accurate.

@Ravix No, the tank shouldn't be there. I also protest a Samurai being playable at all. The trailer also has Yasuke be handed a note about secret stuff and then a little girl naturally gawks at him, making him a poor choice for Shadow stuff.
AC having a tank character in of itself is definitely poor form.
I've actually been pretty consistently upset with every AC game but Mirage for a while now for many historical, RPG, non-assassin, not being what AC is about, etc reasons.

@UltimateOtaku91 @Korgon It's taken great efforts to use real history and to be accurate in many ways in the past. Every single protagonist in the past has been a character that ethnically belonged and that would reasonable blend in as the creed demands. Arab, Italian, Egyptian, Native American, British, French, etc have all been used before. No one complained because they all made sense and were accurate and normal.
Yasuke being real also goes against series history.
Playing as Tom Cruise in this instance, despite the Last Samurai being a great movie, would also be horrificly dumb.

Yasuke being a shadowy figure who's doing a bunch of Assassin stuff is just ridiculous on its face. I also think Nobunaga liked to show him off because he was different.
Nor have any of them been real people. It's very odd and goes against AC's premise.
I'll also say not only should Yasuke be removed as a playable character, playing as a Samurai should also be removed entirely as well as that's also missing the point.

@GamingFan4Lyf This is lore and actual story.

That kind of combat is a horrible bastardization of what inspired it (turn based TTRPG) and should be banned from being in any game again. Origin’s combat makes the gameplay such a chore next to amazing writing and role-playing.
Needless to say, this makes me a lot less interested lol.

@EchoRange and it’s been terrible how the RPGs have gone. We also just had mirage, which had blending and a reasonable looking protag. There’s a difference between stupid armor that shouldn’t be added to the game and a character who is inherently incapable of keeping the creed.

@Neither_scene Predictable isn’t a bad thing, it’s historical and makes sense. AC protags also aren’t real people, if you need a real person that happened once to justify the oddity you’re doing it wrong.

Nope, not playing this. We’re supposed to blend in, not be a singular distinct foreigner who was never a Smaurai.
I’ll take Japanese protagonist. This is getting ridiculous.
