  • I was so disappointed they pivoted and turned it into an MMORPG. I just wanted a single player focused game where I could be immersed in the story.

    I don’t get immersed in an MMO type game. It just becomes a task to complete all missions and end up clicking through dialogue. Maybe that’s just me though.

    I also just read all the development issues about the SWKOTOR remake.






  • the teams working on various Assassin’s Creed games are “part of the brand” and it’s important that all the studios are talking to each other to avoid “redoing work.”

    Sounds like they are handicapped by the formulaic structure setup for the AC IP.

    I guess it will be akin to previous releases, just more stealth focused again. Potentially.

    I would love an AC game made similarly to the style of Dishonored or even Uncharted and the latest Tomb Raider games. Less focus of filling out huge maps and can focus on capturing a more intimate and immersive story that could heavily play into stealth and assasin mechanics.

    Just my 5 cents though. A man can dream, lol.






  • I’m thankful our HR gave us notice when I was in Desktop Support.

    The rare occasion we received short notice from HR or the general exec of our tech division was due to an immediate termination, and that was usually due to people not passing probation, or for egregious behaviour like sending 100s of GB to their personal email after they resigned and we’re in their notice period.

    Or we once had a guy who was completely off the rails… we don’t know what happened exactly, but a user called up and he was having a manic episode and was convinced someone hacked his account/phone and was listening to him.

    We raised it as a concern and a few weeks (maybe a month or so later) we were asked to terminate his account.

    I heard he had stopped taking his meds. Hope he’s alright now… he was a nice fellow usually.
