Other Games / Re: Worst Sequel(s) you have ever played?

This is why marketing is VERY important. Sometimes all a game needed to be well recieved was to be a sidegame.

Heck Yoshi Island was originally going ot be called Super Mario World 2 (to admit though... it probably would have still been well recieved)

It was called Super Mario World 2 :p

Assassin's Creed 3 was a bad one, if only for the last 2 hours of the game.

Basically they had a nice ending set up for both Desmond and Connor, fucked both of them up, and ultimately shat on the series.

Edit: I want to make clear I don't really like any of the AC games, but 3 is just the most egregious example.

Yes. 22/23rds of my Yes. Which is to say: please don't repeat the message system in round 4 and I'll jump on this.

Stealing all the fun from newer folks :p awful.

You can represent the old crew.
They'll be more players this time.

Did the ice slip 'n shuffle getting to the car today. Spent two or three seconds trying to regain my balance, before failing, scraping my hand on the ground and bouncing my knee off the car bumper.

Funniest thing that's happened to me so far this year.

It is slightly less funny now that I appear to have done some unpleasantness to my shoulder and middle finger on the side of my scraped hand.

Ah well.

I'd help but I rather enjoyed your last one as a player, so no.

Not even as penance for ruining the last day.

Poor equivalencies.

In the process of being licensed to drive you get an ID, which is proof that you jumped through the necessary hoops to get licensed. The ID issued is to let people know you have been deemed skilled enough to drive safely.

There are also penalties for people who sell alcohol/tobacco to underage folks, usually involving revoking their license to sell them, as well as fines and probable criminal records. The ID check is for the seller, not the buyer.

You don't need to learn a skill to vote (beyond filling in the ballot correctly) and the person who checks off people at a polling station won't be punished for someone else's fraud.

It should be free. Voting is a right, you shouldn't have to pay for it.

This also means you shouldn't have to go out of your way to get any piece of paper which allows you to vote.


Wrong premise. Voting is not an universal right, only certain classes of people can vote - i.e. there's an age gate.

Also, wrong assumption of the problem being solved. Votes must not be cast twice, so you need to know who voted.

Universal suffrage is a thing, stop splitting hairs :p

That's what electoral rolls are for.

In the U.K. you get sent a letter with a polling card (which isn't strictly necessary) and told at which polling station to vote.

You go, tell them your name and address, and they cross your name off a list, very precisely. They give you the ballot, tell you what to do with it, you do it and post it in the ballot box.

No idea what they do in cases someone claims to be someone who has already voted, but it is as Reelya says, you would need to memorize the details of multiple people in multiple districts and not mix up the details, and hope those people haven't been in before or will come in later.

Take it with us to point B, and pick up the box.

Well, make getting an id free or cheap enough that the price doesn't matter (like 5$)? Problem solved (like in every other frigging countries).

An acceptable amendment ;)

Trump doesn't go far enough if he was playing DF. The migrants are still alive if you build the wall.

I'm not sure a Trump impeachment is ideal.

teabag the unconscious guard

Eyeball the other guards to get a feeling for their status, while heading over to point B.

If they don't seem to be particularly alert, mark as many as possible and quietly check out point B.
