Ok if there's going to be 2, I'll set one up for Tuesday. Anyone is welcome to join.

I started up the first game having never played either. I'm maybe an hour in so far and really not enjoying it at all. Literally thrown in with a ridiculous story and seemingly just button mashing so far. Please tell me this game gets better?

I'll be up for it on Tuesday, is there a reason why it's moved to Wed?

Leap of faith time, who was it?

Did you really think I was accusing you of saying that? You couldn't follow the analogy to see how the excuse you're providing for Nintendo is duff?

So? Even with knives being sold to only over 18s, people still misuse them and use them to kill others. Should companies also stop making knives? Or, better yet, should you stop making poor excuses for their bad decisions?

Howcomes...?

You can also do level 30 damage output mode (also known as lucky bastard's boon). :p Sweet. So 3 for 8:15PM.

@Animal I am interested to hear your thoughts/actions.

Bring your arc weapons and your game face.

At least for opinions you just need to reverse engineer a signature to appear at the start of every one of your posts, simply stating "I think". Then you'll be covered.

Sure, I will. Any other takers? @Zell @Shorty @Map? Would 8:15 PM be ok?

I was successful last night, and my target was not Dedede.

I heard it's good on PvP (well, according to Planet Destiny) but less useful on PvE. If you plan to PvP then you wouldn't really need your ice breaker so it could be useful for that.

@Shorty Xur's apparently selling The Last Word (exotic hand cannon). I know you're a HC fan, and it's meant to be pretty good.

Man, got the raid body armour again. At least I got the timebreaker sparrow though. The body armour was again from clearing the gatekeeper...

Ugh, saying Destiny servers down!

I think Persona 4 style slot reels after every boss battle for loot is the way to go with pretty much any game.

I would love if they add something that is equivalent to Wind Waker's several floor dungeon with MM. Just thinking, it probably wouldn't be that hard to do and it would add more for returning players. Dat Song of Healing (is that along the same lines?). Also loved the credits reel music.

I have literally no idea if the final boss was hard or not. See my signature for why.

You said that he shouldn't be doing the reviews after he gave SM3DW an 8. You are a disgraceful manchild. Marketing is mostly to sell copies. I want to know, why don't you complain each time FIFA does not get a 10? After all, there is so much money spent marketing that. Same for COD. It's weird, these are all yearly serialised games yet you never have anything to say about that. Do you really think that because companies spend so much money that something is 'up' when they don't score 9s and 10s? You make the association that big budget = automatically should score top marks? That is beyond stupid. Like actually fucking ridiculous if that's what you expect to happen. Indies are scoring just as well as AAA games these days. It just shows that more money does not = should automatically score highly. You don't need to say it. That's the thing about behaving like a manchild - actions speak louder than words. Suggesting someone should stop doing reviews/go because of an 8 score shows you care too much about scores. Arguing over pages about AC based mostly on an aggregate score, again, shows you care too much about reviews. What you're saying is equivalent to an alcoholic on his 15th pint claiming he's not an alcoholic because 'he hasn't said he is'. Lulz. That's what's tragic. You look at a review score and make your entire assumption. Ok, if I saw a score of 4/10, I'd be inclined to think the game isn't great. Scores are good for low extremes like that. But 75-80% is pretty ambiguous - if it's the sort of game you enjoy, and maybe it has been patched by the time you play it, maybe you'd personally rate it something more like 85-90. Most of all, though, I like to read reviews to find out what the game will be like rather than hinge off the scores. If I went with scores I might have missed out on Destiny. Heck, I've seen you berate Destiny and you don't have it. In terms of how AC often scores, yes it's close. That's why I don't get why you are slamming this series now. It's a yearly serialised game and people enjoy it. It isn't exactly pushing the boundaries, so I wouldn't expect it to score top marks. But bad? I wouldn't say so at all. I really enjoy these games. Right, if Ashley didn't clean up the posts I'll find it later, that's if you haven't gone and deleted it already. What I'll bet you'll do is hinge on the fact you didn't specifically say 'resign' buy made it very clear that, over a review score, someone shouldn't be doing the reviews anymore. You'll argue out of on a technicality, but that's irrelevant. I'll tell you for sure though, people were seriously pissed off with your childish behaviour there and it ended up resulting in the topic being locked a while as a result!

Guess who is throwing their toys out of the pram again over review scores! 80% and you were calling for Ashley to resign in the NSM3DW topic. Clearly arbitrary scoring systems are the make or break for you, which I find pretty sad. 79% for the PS4 version (the version I am getting, coincidentally) is pretty good. Especially considering a lot of the mark downs are, most likely, fixable technical issues (most of which I expect will be addressed by the time I do actually come to play it). And I won't be getting micro transactions, so their existence doesn't really bother me. I never bought them in ME3 and I won't buy them here. Actually look beyond the arbitrary score and you'll see that there is actually quite a bit of praise for the environment and the execution of assassinations. Criticisms about snagging as your run around have always been there; not great but certainly not a deal breaker. I have now got a reasonable idea of what to expect, and I'm excited. What the fuck does how much money is spent on marketing the game have to do with the review scores? AC is a once or twice per year game. It's not a once every X number of years labour of love like The Last or Us or Xenoblade. People buy the games to follow the continuing story and to see cities brought to life, all the while being able to free roam over it, take over the city and play multiplayer. For that, the scores seem fairly reasonable so far. You know what's a far better indicator? Actually reading the review. Who the fuck says anyone aims for 75%? Nobody aims for it, but I'm going back to 80% because that's the version I am getting - that is totally acceptable for a serialised once per year game. It must be, because AC (AC4 aside) continuously scores around there. If that wasn't an 'acceptable' score then the series would have been pulled. You've also got to take into account that review scores, unlike to you, don't mean the world to everyone. Destiny is a fantastic game but did not review amazingly, yet still sold buckets. Frankly, I've never played a single game so much. Lately review scores seem to be the bread and butter of arguments made by basement dwelling fanboys. They can be useful for a general taster, but the way some people use them to argue when knowing little else is just silly.

Woops, thanks Hero. Second time that's happened in 24 hours with me. :p

Of course he fucking can't. Come on. :p

So @Zell @ReZourceman, raid tomorrow (Thurs) at 8PM? Also @Daft, or have you done it twice this week now?
