Assassin’s Creed 3 is where I learned that Ben Franklin was an incredible horndog.

It’s not about Americans at all. This is entirely about the rapist-in-chief’s pwecious fee-fees.

The thing that gets me is the disconnect between the combat animations and what’s actually happening as far as the game is concerned. If an attack visibly misses my character, especially because I specifically moved to dodge it, I expect to not take damage, y’know?

For contrast, Witcher 1 uses the same engine, but CDPR tweaked it so that while attacking is still all dice rolls that don’t really sync with your animations, you can interrupt combat at any time with a dodge, and if an attack animation misses a hitbox then no dice get rolled at all.

Saw that hallway and that Quarren and immediately knew, this is KOTOR. The thing about the combat in this game–which was like the one thing I hated about the game–is that it’s actually all dice rolls under the hood, and the animations are completely meaningless. Like, it doesn’t matter if you physically move your character out of the way of a blaster shot, the dice already got rolled before the shot was rendered, so if your save roll failed then you’re still taking damage anyway.

Man, that lightbeam from the door in that 3rd pic just looks really amazing.

What I did in combat was use the rocket/sticky bomb modes and go for splash damage while flying backwards. I had enough damage mods equipped that most enemies died to one or two explosions, and when I ran out of ammo I’d throw debris to buy time until the gun recharged.

Man, I’m just so glad that the dummies in this game never come to life to attack you. Sure, you’ve got those golems in the astral plane and Foundation DLC, but for some reason those guys just don’t have the same creep factor.

You should be able to just fast travel back to the maze entrance, and you’ll be given the choice to either skip the maze and go straight to Dimensional Research, or replay it. AWE has those two arcade machines, but IIRC it’s just boss replays and a mob survival challenge.

Haha, there’s a sidequest in the Foundation DLC where you have to pick up a TV as a flashlight, so you’re walking around in a bunch of pitch black rooms, except there’s a projected loop of Ahti dancing just moving across the walls the entire time.

Holy shit. As a fan of both Love Live and Ace Attorney I never realized how much I wanted something like this. Unfortunately I don’t have any recs to give, so all I can offer are my thanks and an upvote.

I mean, getting rid of anything that even acknowledges the existence of queer folk is absolutely on brand for Christofascists.
