@king_george. Hence my last sentence. I suggested the value of learning Japanese while agreeing with his desire for English translations.

Got a bunch of 50s and 25s saved up, but I used my 100s and 200s during the gap between events. I've found that to be a more efficient strategy.

Consider learning Japanese. It's easy to buy Japanese games on the PS4.

Learning the language isn't as hard as you might think. Assuming you have the time, immersion and efficient study will get you there after a couple of years.

That said, I second your comment.

Dang. Glitches like that would make the new maps virtually unplayable. I guess I'll just have to wait until they get all this sorted... (Sigh!!)

Where's my new DLC maps?

You have clearly not read or understood my comments. I'm not "afraid" of such content, nor is my comparison moot. I present a hypothetical - IF it serves no purpose, THEN I disagree with it's inclusion. Hence, IF it genuinely conveys dimensions of characterization and/or atmosphere, THEN I have no problem with it.

That the nudity takes place in a brothel is irrelevant. Why include a brothel in the first place? Again, IF it serves some clear purpose, THEN I&...

Perfect response.

And to think about all those arguments/debates you were involved in a few days ago about the 60fps issue - whoever it was "refusing to get this at 30fps" blah blah. I guess this just renders the whole thing moot. 1080/60. Add ketchup and enjoy.

Was a pretty nice deal for me. Day 1 baby!

Nice response. You misspelled *civilized.

Sort of.

AC3's ending was a joke, but then so was the whole game. The fact that they didn't explain what happened to the blonde girl, for instance, left me completely detached (only later did I find out that there was DLC for that). They just had to tie it in to Dec 21 2012.

IV, by contrast, didn't bother me. John's role was a bit predictable, but I don't mind them leaving things open for new iterations this year.

Not surprised. Really, the article contains nothing new, though perhaps the Reddit discussion contains more detailed information.

The game was a mess, and completely destroyed the arc of the series (both plot-wise and emotionally). I know that many felt that way about Brotherhood/Revelations, but I personally loved both of those games and in no way see them as poor additions to the series. AC3, by contrast, was a clusterf%&$ from the get-go. 4 has revitalized the series,...

We're essentially in agreement then. It's nice to read a thoughtful comment, rather than knee-jerk outpourings from people who misunderstand my comments.

Maybe you didn't intend your comment as an objection to me, or maybe you did. But in either case, your last sentence pretty much sums up my posts on this topic. IF it's done "well", THEN I have no problem with it. The problems lies in what constitutes "well".

I object to companies throwing in sexual content - or drugs, foul language, etc - just for the sake of it. When that's done in a way that doesn't contribute to the game, it detracts f...

I fail to see what that has to do with anything. IF, on the off chance, this does add something to the game, then fair enough. But if it's just pointless and gratuitous sexual content, then I'm not interested. So far, I'm not impressed by what I've seen of this game. Adding a layer of sexual antics won't contribute to the gameplay, and certainly won't make up for a poor story if in fact the story is of poor quality.

So you see, I'm not objecting to...

I will buy this Day 1. Will buy every edition. Will buy every DLC/microtransaction. Will buy every piece of merch. I don't care - I've waited over 10 years for a game like this.

So glad I sold this. Single player was fun, Online was/is a joke.

I'm sure it all advances the story and deepens the characters.

I'd totally forgotten that! I need to play that game again.

In hindsight, this scene doesn't surprise me. But at the time I wasn't expecting a scene of such power: The Sniper Wolf death scene in MGS. That shook me up. I mean, the game was obviously emotional, and there were scenes before that with significant emotional content (e.g. Meryl being shot, the torture sequence, etc). But they didn't really impact me too much. But when Sniper Wolf told her story and Snake did his thing, I almost cried.
