I'm starting to think this hellhole of a board may have been making me hate video games for the last couple of years.

Good lesson to learn. The discussion on here will always skew negative. Get off this site if you can.

>>715562317
Correction: the discussions here will always skew towards the truth

>>715562048 (OP)
It's the internet, anon. Loud polarized opinions where there can be only one are the norm. Most people you talk to here? You'd cross the street to get away from in real life.

>>715562317
>translation: i'm a bitch ass pussy offended by the truth being shown to be with no filter

>>715562048 (OP)
>i was a normie all along
Ftfy, now go to reddit or twitter or tumblr

>>715562048 (OP)
the discussion on here is half bot traffic, some poltards who the /v/ mods let in because they're ideologically aligned, shitposters, and then you might get some people actually talking about games. if you talk about games with friends its fun. /v/ is not where you should go for discussion about a game. any board or forum. get off the internet and go outside. people on this site is not how people talk and act in the real world

>>715562048 (OP)
>for the last couple of years
>implying /v/ wasn't always overly negative about vidya

haha anon is a stuttering lil bitch

I bet your heart raced at the moment huh? LMAO

>>715564490
Actually yes, I'm not used to talk much, so it caught me off-guard.

>>715563830
Absolutely nailed it. You talk to people IRL and suddenly you're reminded that most folks just like to have fun with games, not dissect every frame of a trailer or write an essay on how Ubisoft committed a war crime against game design. Online discourse warps your brain after a while-take one step outside and it’s like a mana potion to your soul. Touching grass is OP.

Howdy reddit!

>>715562048 (OP)
>>715562317
>>715563830
I don't think it's just /v/, if you go to vidya posts in social media you'll se it's the exact same shit, especially now that rage baiting is literally profitable when you pay Elon Musk or Zuckerberg to have your posts reach other people

>>715562048 (OP)
>Yasuke feels tacked on
In a story with nobunaga? Why do midwits give opinions EVERYTHING is tacked on there are no order of ancient assassin's in Japan hunting another ancient order of people you only geeks he's tacked on because he's Black

>>715566680
I said that gameplay-wise, in the story I don't find anything wrong with him per se.

>>715566680
cope harder ranjesh. we all know he's tacked on because he literally was.

>>715562048 (OP)
>historically it's not clear whether he was actually made a samurai or not
But without this hellgole you wouldn't be this voice of reason anong the normalfags. You'd have just follow along and said he was a samurai.

>>715562048 (OP)
I think you sound like a fag

>>715565854
>people outside of /v/ dont have arguments about pointless shit
why do retards get on the high horse only to show they know nothing about the rwal world?

>>715562048 (OP)
Why you had to moderate your discussion instead of telling them Naoe was an ugly ass DEI dyke while Yasuke was a "dick washing nigger" and this was done by evil jews to destroy the white race?

>>715566839
I disagree if you're arguing his lack of grace while fighting is part of the appeal Ubisoft gave you the traditional stealthy approach to fighting but incorporated what they've been doing in their most recent installments where the pc is a traditional fighter he's supposed to feel unpolished when fighting he's a fish out of water

>>715562048 (OP)
How's Shadows? It's on sale.

>>715566680
You dont need an entire game made around one of Nobunaga's countless servants. At best he could have a sidequest or something.

>>715567357
More that his limited parkour makes a lot of areas of the map inaccessible or just not as fun to traverse through as Naoe, as well as those moments where there's shit hidden behind heavy objects only he can move, and I can only switch to him when I go to the viewpoint, it's kinda annoying.

>>715562317
Usually video game discussions IRL, its best to test the waters. My wife and I have known another married couple for a few years, the husband plays vidya, but as recently as yesterday we talked more weeb and /v/ type games because we’ve been measuring how much of each others power level we should let out as we both assumed we were both normies with the mild reddit tier takes.

Typically I dont use “its woke” or “its sucks because of women and blacks” its more “I saw some of it, but I dont normally buy games on release, hell I just bought RDR2 for $15 on a sale” for example, I just dont like giving the youtuber opinion, but talked about vidya here on this board is much better than anywhere else online.

I tried reddit for a while before gook moot got hacked and it was awful.

>>715562048 (OP)
OP here, totally other real story, I'm dying with covid and my last thought is that I wish I had taken the vaxx.

>>715567498
If you like nu-AssCreed you'll probably eat it up, it's the same thing but with better stealth.

>>715567000
True.
The world is marginally better for your suffering, OP.

>>715562317
>>715562048 (OP)

>discussing video games are fun
>i hate discussing vydia online but i like to offline
ok? i dont see the issue. you just like talking to more agreeable people because you are a faggot I guess.

>>715562048 (OP)
>historically it's not clear whether he was actually made a samurai or not
are you retarded?

>>715567625
Again he's supposed to feel like that he's a Bruiser in a samurai game sometimes you don't want to throw a kunsi and kill someone sometimes you wanna Cut an opponent in half with a single stroke

>discuss asscreed irl
>thick black qt aks me what i think about it
>i say "ayo that nigga yasuke lookin zeisty he bout to get buck broke lmao"
>black qt laughs and nods in agreement
>"u aight white boy"
>she gives me her phone number and aks me to call her that night

>>715567000
That's mostly because I hadn't really thought of him until the internet made a huge deal out of his inclusion, when he appeared at Nioh, Samurai Warriors or Nobunaga's ambition I just thought he was neat for being a foreign samurai like William.

>>715567903
>black girl allowing white to say N word
Fan Fic

>>715567263
>Naoe was an ugly ass DEI dyke
Cause that would be a lie, Naoe is the cutest AC protagonist

>>715568026
Let's be honest. The problem with him was that he's one of the MCs. If he was just another historical NPC most people wouldn't have cared half as much.

>>715565854

You talk with normies and you're suddenly reminded that they don't have an internal monologue. Suddenly they reveal that they have no ability to think critically and will actually buy ubislop. Weird.

>>715568934
I prefer Evie

You should've said you just hated niggers, Mr. Redditor.

the very fact that you bought and played assassins creed shadows to begin with just proves youre a retard. get off my board

>>715562048 (OP)
>oh booohoohoo this place bad boohoohoo
yeha we get it op you sucked cocks after playing an ubisoft game
just post that retarded pic or pics about some anon projecting his retardation of taking this place too seriously and advicing others to leave and be done with it

>>715568934
I think what makes Naoe look uglier than usual is the fact that Ubislop forgot how to animate facial expressions after Syndicate.

>>715562048 (OP)
>limited your power level
>STILL got the ">it is so interesting, please talk so you don't shoot up the school" treatment

>>715563830
This place demonstrates what happens when people are not held back by a risk of real-life consequences after an interaction.
In reality, most (if not all) people hate you and your opinions and think they are always right.

>>715569046
If they made him an important character who would later have his own playable DLC like Adewale, no one would bat an eye.

That's because normalfags can't see the obvious conspiracy against them by video game devs, they loved The Last of Us 2 while actual fans of the first game hated it.

>guys I went to meet up with my goyest of friends and they all started ranting about how much they like their slop before chanting "GOTTA HAVE THAT NEW MADDEN" with tears in their eyes
>have we just forgotten how to... have fun?

>>715571351
Nah, lots of normies hated it. Specifically Joel getting killed off and the ending

>>715571998
idk you don't really seem like you interact and can't risk being vulnerable for a second. you're the type to like things but only ever show it ironically for fear of a second of vulnerability.

>>715574818

Imagine being such a cuck you have to pretend to be your own strawman. Like how much of a loser do you have to be to do this shit?

>>715562452
I’ve noticed that people will bitch about the negativity here but almost never bitch about shit being untrue. And when they do they either fail to show evidence or can’t argue how it’s wrong.

>>715562048 (OP)
You have to love a video game enough that criticisms won't ruin your enjoyment of it

>>715562317
>Get off this site if you can.
the fuck are you doing here if its so bad then faggot

>>715579304
Because all this is a ploy to get people that disagree with him off so him and his fellow faggots can turn it into their echo chamber.
