Hey idiots, immigrants won't help you pay for your domestic welfare programs unless they are net taxpayers, not welfare recipients

How do you know they won't beb net taxpayers?

Keynesianism requires an endless stream of labor and spending to sustain itself. This is the only way.

There is an interesting aspect to this where some drivers are definitely much more comfortable and prepared for a plastered person or even a group, and some drivers are not. So if there was a way to classify the passenger then the matching could work much better and drivers could choose to avoid taking certain rides. Leave it to those who want to go through the whole vomit fee process.

It is literally discrimination but it would be good for drivers. The problem is that Uber is completely incompetent technologically and can't possibly come up with a decent classifier for this.

Either way, who uses Uber anymore instead of Lyft anyways

Its interesting you say this when I can't help but feel its been incredibly aggravating entirely due to the game's bugginess. I would otherwise agree that I really enjoy the intentional aspects of the missions so far, but it's really been hard to enjoy when I'm restarting way more often than past games.

I don't remember too many aggravating bugs, but I do remember restarting missions a lot to get 100% of the side challenges, some of which were really difficult. That's what I liked about it. It had this MGS mastery kinda feel to it. I remember spending 45 minutes on the boat infiltration mission and it was frustrating and glorious and unlike anything in AC.

The key was that there were like... 30 story missions max? And like 15 side missions. Totally reasonable to play over and over, whereas future ACs get tiring halfway through even the first playthrough.

Speaking of the boat infiltration everyone raves about 4 but no one recognizes that 3 literally invented the boat combat and the boat climbing, ontop of tree climbing, ontop of weather and animals, ontop of parkour-style animation. 3 had everything (except a masculinity-porn suave killer character).

What was ruined about future entries?

Tight mission design (it was the only worth 100%ing), tree/rock climbing (this is the most sad thing imo), nature in general (seasons), having a real character that isn't just some cool killer, cheesy , small personal stories (homestead, assassin recruits) instead of massive grindy content, actually decent assassination missions (first since AC1), interesting tool-based combat

The biggest thing it was missing was really tall climbs. It was also missing the tomb platforming sections, but a lot of the city and mission design had those fast linear platform sequences built into the levels. Also I just remembered the Desmond platforming sections holy shit those were good. Future ones got rid of all of that. Overall it's still the 2nd best climbing in the series after Brotherhood, and by far the best climbing mechanics/animations.

what didn't you like about Odyssey but liked about the previous games

Levels worth playing

SMG2 for example, 99% of yellow stars were A+, and maybe 80% of green stars were A+. That's an insane 90% of A+ gameplay. Completely unmatched by any other platformer (although some like Super Meat Boy and Celeste do come close). The game actually becomes more fun as the difficulty increases too.

Odyssey has like 800 moons. Maybe 50 of them are good (B+ or higher) at best. There is no way to tell which moon is gonna be good or bad. I had around 300 moons when I stopped. The vast majority of that game was a boring waste of time. The controls are great but the levels don't use them well, opting for frustrating tedium to increase difficulty instead. I don't even remember any A+ moons honestly because for every good moon you go through 5 shitty moons. It is the quintessential bloated AAA game.

Not all, but definitely Odyssey. If Odyssey 2 adds soul and keeps everything else its gonna be godlike.

I can see not liking 2 much because of its raw gameplay, but everything there is so god damn fresh and inspired. That's what I mean by content. Everything is technically bad, but the content is so damn good.

World 1 alone is still better than any world in Odyssey though other than New Donk (which it is on par with I think).

Tbh we just need more game series like Mass Effect

ME is super weak at that. Torment and other games in that genre have way deeper relationships between characters and the world. To the point that it's sickening sometimes.

Hat is programmed to use the DS4 directly, which most indie games of the last couple years do nowadays. AAA is still stuck on the 360 controller unfortunately (it's because of rumble and XInput stuff but still).

What insanely brilliant marketing is this that they are getting their victims to willingly publicly advertise that they were duped on the show? I swear it's like they signed a contract to advertise for the show in this way a few weeks before it airs. Which is not unlikely.

I remember the junk items being very clearly marked. Quest items are also clearly marked.

The trick is there's another menu of items that are "gifts" that you can give to your party members for affinity. Didn't find that until 60 hours in.

is it easy to tell which ones are going to have some kind of interesting story or character interactions to them, and which are just busy work?

Very clear

Namely, the busy work sidequests auto-complete, while the story ones make you go back to the NPC. So definitely take all the grindy sidequests you can find, cuz they help direct you around the big levels and give you cool things to do. But don't feel held back by them at all.

Battling is way deeper than it seems at first. It's all about DPS and getting huge combo attacks by managing cooldowns. There's also an aspect of aggro that ends up very important. It's very similar to WoW in that sense. Healing is way less important than other RPGs. Try to kill the enemy before they kill you, don't necessarily try to stay at max health like in other RPGs. There's a reason you auto-heal between battles. You can play with different characters as the lead, and you can equip different abilities to them. Try lots of options because they change the game drastically.

Dolphin always had messed up audio for me (music cutting out sometimes) but other than that it's insanely gorgeous in high def, and you can get texture packs for PS4 buttons and such.
