This looks bad.

It looks painfully average

I did it in 24 lol. I skipped 75% of the side quests, though but I can't imagine they added that much extra to a playtime?

Good shit though

It is without a doubt one of the best games I have ever played. The story is special. It's going to take me days to digest it and read around it. Such an in-depth game. Specially the philosophy.

Pascal's entire arc though...jesus.

70...it took me around 20 jeez.

Make sure you do Ending D and Ending E if you have not. Leave Ending E for last, if you are trying to platinum it or 100% do those first.

It’s definitely a uniquely special and beautiful game, and one of my all time favourites, as well. It sounds silly, but I was pretty deep in thought after I had finished playing through Nier. Games like that don’t come around very often, if ever.

I have done nearly all the side quests apart from few which got locked out because i had no way of knowing they get locked if you talk to an NPC. But i'll get them in chapter select. I am not even sure why it took so long but i spent a lot of time scanning areas to find secret drops and to find weapons and upgrading them. I just read that you need to upgrade all the weapons to face Emil as a level 99 boss in the desert.

I have few more endings to go through but they should be easy to do. I actually didn't feel burnt out at all at any point. Each play through felt unique.

Seems pretty typical "press x to win" console game.

Several allegations by former or current Ubisoft staff accused managers in Ubisoft's Toronto and Montreal studios of sexual misconduct and denounced a toxic work environment for women.

Ubisoft has released a statement which you guys can read on their Twitter page, and Ashraf Ismail, the guy who was managing AC's Valhalla at the Montreal branch, has stepped down and taken a leave of absence.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they overcompensate by making extra LGBTQ- friendly games, from now on. Because that’s what quality games are all about

Not ashamed to admit i bought few trophes since cba getting all the joke endings. I would have but i want to start TLOU2 tomorrow.

There is one absolute creep trophy lmao. Not surprising seeing it's japanese devs

the costume one?

Spoiler:

Yup. I wasn't planning going back to the game so I did it. That is a unique way to end a game. Ending E in general is probably the only one which is remotely uplifting.

Seeing Pods' evolve to this extent was interesting.

So he cheated on his wife. What does it have to do with LGBTQ or #meToo? He didn't abuse his wife or coerce his female colleagues into sexual relationships or badmouth alternative genders. WTF is wrong with these people?
I'm not going to buy any crap from Ubisoft for not having the backbone to release a statement or defend their own. It's easier to scapegoat someone and ruin the person's career..
They can shove those LGBTQ games where the sun never shines. I won't play them out of spite and I'm not going to watch or play an game or film loaded by BS agendas. Their loss..

DrDisrespect permabanned from twitch & subs getting refunded by twitch. Damn.

Greatest streamer entertainer oat. Either he switches to FB gaming or retires with his millions. Mans looked semi cba past few years.

What did he get banned for?

No one knows yet.

Ashraf Ismail himself took a leave of absence after cheating allegations came out and now his marriage is in shambles. He didn't get forced out by Ubisoft, he voluntarily took a leave to save his marriage. Don't know about other staff.

Also which Ubi game is riddled with LGBTQ characters which ruined the game by pushing an agenda? Assassins Creed? Far Cry? Rainbow Six? Ghost Recon?

Any gamer they lose from this is gonna be a minimal loss for them and from what we learned from TLOU2 these guys will still shit on the games without playing them.

It's not LGBTQ movement's business what a man does in private. We don't know his reasons, now, his marriage is ruined. Women or married wives cheat too but that's not my or your business. You ought to have some intellect to recognise he resigned for damage control, the scapegoat..

Is it typical for left activist to quote out of context? I mean you went to a school and learnt reading comprehension.

Point to me with your unlimited wisdom where I mention there I'm gonna avoid Ubi games because of LGBTQ agenda in their games? Or you mean this:

That one isn't aiming at Ubi alone but at the whole industry. I'm not going to buy anything on the first day from now on.

M99 wrote:Any gamer they lose from this is gonna be a minimal loss for them and from what we learned from TLOU2 these guys will still shit on the games without playing them.

I don't care how much they lose I change my behavior. BTW, TLOU2's problem isn't  LGBTQ, even a guy in the role of you know who would've disappointed everyone. The story is shit. It's convenient for Neil to deflect any criticism with "input a gender" + phob.

Except it was not an LGBTQ movement that forced him to step down. People he slept with came forward with screenshots and evidence of cheating and after that he stepped down presumably to concentrate on his personal life. No activist group forced him to. I'm just talking about Ismail, there have been sexism claims to other people in the industry, that is different.

I have perfectly good reading comprehension thank you, the way you are crying it sounds like Ubisoft has a history of ruining games with their agendas.

I've said this before, the existence of people in a certain media does not push an "agenda" You being so bothered by it says a lot about you. What games got ruined by having diverse characters in this gen that you are so fearful of it? The only games I ever came across LGBTQ characters this gen are Life Is Strange and Last Of Us, thats two games across hundred and their existence didn't ruin shit. There are Bioware games and other RPGs too but romancing same sex characters have existed in RPGs for a long time (along with aliens, elves, and dwarves). Think there was one transexual character in DA Inquisition who wasn't involved in the plot and was just a fucking scout.

Man out here acting like games having gay characters will ruin gaming AGENDA is a new buzzword I guess for you like "lefty" or "feminazi"

Why do people speak about things they have absolutely no intelligence on lol.

Why do you care so much about what other people say?

Damn shame about DrDisrespect. I don’t normally watch any of these game streamers, but he’s been around for a really long time and I always thought he was entertaining.

Either he goes to FB gaming or retires. Hope he stays because he's the most entertaining streamer.
TimTheTatman is the second imo with Shroud being #1 for purely skills.

Not big on Ninja even when he streamed Warzone & Valorant.

I just love DrDisrespect’s subtle sense of humor. Even at public events, he looks comical with his incredibly lanky frame and shades, mullet and stache combo. He created a pretty unique character.

But like you pointed out, he’s filthy rich and probably around his 40s by now, so it might’ve been a good time for him to hang up his boots. I’m sure he’ll find ways to entertain outside of gaming.

Don’t forget his production (s/o to his team) is the best in the game and no one come close.

Also the fact that he from time to time use banter with is so hilarious. When Blackout released he had the parachute thing from blackout around his profile whenever he dropped

Yeah, I think I recall him using a 3D model of a motorbike with his face on top of it as well. Creative

What the hell did he do? I only watched him a few times and quite liked him. Pretty funny dude. Very popular too. Internet is scratching its head as to what made Twitch so mad.
