Since I’m going to finish Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous (in probably about 10 hours given how long it takes to beat it) I’m currently looking for another game to play. Maybe Gamedec? Or maybe something other than a CRPG? We’ll see. I’ll check on suggestions that you all have down below.
Discussion questions:
-
Who are your favorite game developers in terms of favorite video games? (Nintendo, Sony, etc.)
-
How did you first get into video games?
My answers:
Overall, I’d have to say Nintendo and Owlcat Games (though that last one is more current). In terms of how I first got into video games? The Nintendo 64 was a godsend in that regard. I played the Star Wars pod-racing game first and then, from there, I played a few other classic games like Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Never quite liked Super Mario 64 though as much as some other people. Me, personally, anyway.
Also, shameless plug-in for a Discord server that me, BayArea415, and some good friends created:
Enjoy!
Definitely. As with Black Flag, huge caveat that it’s produced by Ubisoft, but the story really resonates. That ‘Assassins vs Templars’ frame that they place over different periods of history; in Syndicate it’s framing class struggle in Industrial Revolution London.

Can’t rule it out I guess. The furore around the CEO facilitating sexual harrassment does bear all the hallmarks of the kinds of smear campaigns that have been used against Corbyn and other figures like that. But I think that if Ubisoft’s products are subversive enough to warrant that kind of attention they would be going after the products as well.
Makes you wonder though.
