Bay 12 Games Forum

The only reason I dislike Assassin's Creed is because it refused to work on a system that met the recommended specs <_<;
Like, the visuals were horribly out-of-sync with the sound, to the point where the first cutscene's dialog was finished before the scene was half over.

Just like a zombie!

XCOM and Hitman. Mostly because those are the two I most want to play

I do have a slug crewmember, thankfully

Wish me luck! I think the quest is actually in the next sector, as there are no markers in this one.

EDIT: Success! Once I managed to get a good slice with the Halberd Beam, it was easy.

If that's what you have to tell yourself to sleep at night, sure.

And...demo, what? You want them to program the demo to purposely kill squaddies? That would be the same pre-planned thing you're criticizing them for doing.

Again though, you pretty much HAVE to play poorly to show off some features. Going out of your way to say "And now I'm going to do this incredibly stupid thing on purpose just to show off" will just make players feel like idiots, especially when they inevitably do the same thing by accident.

Besides, if they did do something like that, they'd just be accused of "dumbing down" or "spoon-feeding" information to the fans, frequently by the same people who complain about the pretending to do bad. You can't please everyone, and some people refused to be pleased.

Y'know what's really fun? Sector 1 in the Zolton Cruiser, when solar flares not only start a fire in the cockpit but knock it out as well. Your pisspoor Zolton crew would die before they could put the fire out, so you have to evacuate and drain several rooms of air, then wait for the fire to be put out, then for air to be restored, and finally fixing the helm all while further flares cause damage and force you to drain half the ship of oxygen, and THEN you have to wait for the engine to recharge. I took more damage from the flares than I did from the enemy ship, which went down before the first flare had even hit!
