Whether it’s trying to raise breast cancer awareness via Facebook or petitioning the world’s nations over important issues, people who would otherwise feel powerless can add just a little bit to a cause. They might do it to feel better about themselves, to fit in with their friends or maybe, just maybe, everybody genuinely likes to do a little bit of good in their lives. There’s another side to it though, when the passion, when the anger is misdirected and somebody ends up victimised; it happens all too often."
Non-playable characters in certain games are meme material, thanks to their foolish behavior. These are the big-budget games with the dumbest NPCs.
Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩
Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.
Here are the most peaceful areas in games that are otherwise quite violent, offering players respite from chaos in the game world.
My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.
I literally just came here to post this. That music in the Resi 1 safe rooms is playing in my head.
I was thinking TLOU work benches. Although I remember one time where it was a false security.
Perfect. 👌👌
I'd add the top of my highrise apartment in GTA Online. That calm, quiet peace, just knowing as soon as I step out that door I will be bombarded by 8 and 12 year olds calling each other n**** and f****, trolled by combat jets and rocket launchers.
The entire map of SotC is peaceful as hell. Used to just ride around exploring it.
Afterlife in Cyberpunk 2077 is a peaceful area? Erm, hands down and very hard to miss, Misty Olszewski's Esoterica is the absolute epitome of peaceful areas in that game.
The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.
With the recent reveal of Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the promise that the series will return to its roots, there hasn’t been a better time to get stuck into Assassin’s Creed’s back catalog, whether it’s replaying an old favorite or getting lost in previously looked-over classic.
I really enjoyed Assassins Creed 3. My only complaint was that I didn’t enjoy when I had to switch from Connor to Desmond. It’s a personal preference, but Connor’s story was just more fun for me.
On a side note, Black flag was the most enjoyable of the AC games I played.
Worth noting that since finishing my interview with John, I've been in contact with both him and his wife and they're both interesting, charming, eloquent people. Those who sent death threats over a potential delay (if Ubisoft were proven guilty of stealing material, by the way) in Assassin's Creed 3 should be ashamed of themselves.
you know this is america, Where you can sue mcdonald because your fat...
Im not even surprised by this kind of court proceeding
the guy is defending his right, which nothing is wrong with it.
from what I read (just snippets), I dont see grounds for this law suit.
there have been many other stories just as similar to each other and they never sue each other.
Actually I have read the book, and it's when you play Assassin's Creed 2 that you get to realize the similarities. I don't know, to me it feels like the fans have been manipulated into bullying this guy and now he has no choice but turn around and eat his pride, because it's not worth fighting not just a big corporation, but all the hate from immature people. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
Unfortunately for Mr. Beiswenger, The problem with this case has nothing to do with a persons right to defend their intellectual property, but rather the fact that he possesses no such property to begin with. He is suing over something he has no rights to.
One of two things is going on here, Either
A: He is assuming that just by writing a book a person automatically acquires trademark rights to it. Which is incorrect.
Or
B: Some baboon at the trademark office really did grant it to him without doing adequate research into pre-existing trademarks, in which case as soon as his suit gets in front of a judge, his trademarks will be found null/void and tossed out the window.
Either way he has no claim.
Dune .1965: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
They Died Twice .1981: http://www.goodreads.com/bo...
Both of which used the same technological idea that Beiswenger is claiming rights to. His novel came out in 2003, 22 years after They died twice and 38 years after Dune.
A ripoff calling someone else a ripoff never turns out well.
