Ubisoft actually clarified that, the quote isnt from them.

@Toadsanime Hi there, while we're very proud of Victoria's performance in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, this did not come from us. [1/2]

I just love how Ubisoft forgot AC Liberation exist.

Considering its the only good thing related to AssCreed 3.

Lol good.

I know Ubisoft can be dumb but this was too much even for them.

 

[Strofirko]

Most of the ubisoft thing doesn't come from them,like the time they fired a shot at nintendo because the partnership with mercedez benz.

Just for the record, Samus is far from the first female video game protagonist.

Here's a random game from 1985 to prove my point:

There's actually a reason I'm bringing up Ninja Princess, though. The same person that created that game also created this game in 1988, which also had a female lead:

More important than all that, though, is that that person is a woman (http://www.giantbomb.com/rieko-kodama/3040-9595/).

Ugh no, Youtube Red is going to go a long way towards helping that, youtubers are going to be making significantly more income with Youtube Red, not less (especially during **** ad revenue months like January, where a single initial month of less revenue will be more than made up for). The whole reason Youtube is implementing it in the first place is how much more money it'll bring in than sole ad revenue, as explained in these two prior posts:





As long as Youtube Red is a decent success, youtubers are going to be making more money, with significantly more potential, and with income that is going to be a lot more consistent (must I state again how utterly horrible January is with ad revenue?).

-



From the Youtube site, with the flak cut down to make it more understandable:

*No ads
*You can save videos to watch offline on your phone or tablet and play videos in the background.
*Your membership extends across devices and anywhere you sign into YouTube, including the recently launched Gaming app and their YouTube Music app.
*YouTube Red works with Google Play Music, so subscribe to one and automatically get access to the other.
*Starting early next year, YouTube Red subscribers will get member-only access to "new, original shows and movies" from some of YouTube’s biggest creators. More information on this is here

I personally would like to see a bit more to make it more valuable to consumers, especially as the "new original shows" don't interest me the least bit.

Fair enough.

My gut says Astro Boy but Death Battle always pulls an obscure piece of work from a different canon when I think anything is certain.

What can Astro Boy even do in comparison to Mega Man?

Maybe this is the way to wish for news and actually get them…

This is great and all, but I was hoping for a date of when we would get the ND

So when's the next briefing? I have a feeling I'll be in school when it happens...

I love Hardcore Gaming.

That last one didn't do anything for me. Not a Final Fantasy fan in the slightest, and Yang I find kind of annoying on first glance/RWBY looks like it'd be hard to sit through.

Betting on Astro Boy for this one, seems like another character who'd have something OP hidden in their series, pretty sure he has greater default firing power/mobility too. That said given the Variable Weapons System, this match up is going to be interesting.

I just hope they don't skip out on the good RM weapons like they did Eggman vs. Wily (no Quick or Shadow? WTF?). Black Hole Bomb, Astro Crush, Copy Vision, Gravity Hold, Flash Stopper, Grab Buster. I don't have a high opinion of Screwattack in regards to the Mega Man series.

 

[Deleted member]

Hardcore Gaming has introduced me to so many amazing niche games; I love that site, too.

 

[Burb]

If there's one, and only one Direct remaining this year, I highly doubt it'll be game-specific. Especially not Splatoon-centered, given all the upcoming games we know very little about.

I'd say that counts as another strike against RogersBase.

Redemption? Tifa vs Yang was just fine. :/

But yeh, this one's gonna b guud.

The fight scene was pretty good but man, I can see why people say that DB is bias with their choices. I feel like they did this to advertise RWBY considering Rooster Teeth (the company that owns the show) is own by a corporation that owns Screw Attack as well.


Because Tifa got nerfed. Atleast this one will be a much better result no matter who wins

 

[Fenriraga]

What can Astro Boy even do in comparison to Mega Man?

Taken straight outta wikipedia.

• Strength equivalent to 100,000 horsepower (75 MW)
• The ability to fly using jets in his legs and arms
• Amplification of his hearing up to one thousand times
• Guns deployed from his posterior
• Invulnerability to conventional physical injury
• An electro-heart that can discern people's criminal intentions
• Bright eye-lamps to assist his vision
• Laser guns in his finger tips
• Laser cannons in his arms
• An extremely accurate electronic brain
• Hyper Adaptive. Body increases in power to match and then exceed the capabilities of stronger combatants

No, you didn't read that 4th one wrong.

 

[Strofirko]

Anyway,I am not mad,considering I am talking about the borderlands guys here,and blizz will make free weekends stress servers,now I only pray for that Paladins beta key.

Let me say this: Tifa can easily take on opponents stronger and more skilled than Yang.

But even with that, Yang's semblance is LITERALLY a direct counter to everything Tifa can throw at her. With how many times Tifa beat her sensless, her power grew exponentially. Also, how is Tifa nerfed? She had her BEST weapon in the game as well as equipment that softened some of Yang's blows around the beginning. Plus, Tifa IS a glass cannon of sorts (among the lower defense stats in FF7) so Yang coming back at her with some powerful blows would be enough to take her down.
Take it from someone who loves both RWBY and FF. Yang won. If Yang's semblance and aura weren't a thing, she would have lost for sure. But they ARE a thing. So... yeah.

So basically a guy could not distinguish fiction from reality.

That's it. Humanity isn't evolving. Rather, it's devolving.

 

[Deleted member]

There's always been people who can't tell fiction from reality. It's just the people who do the more louder things get noticed since it's absurd and outside the norms.

Didnt two girls recently kill their friend because Slenderman told them to, or something like that?

The latest financial results also reveal that, on average, each Wii U user has approximately six retail Wii U games, so the software sales are very healthy compared to hardware install base. Are you above, below, or right at that average? I imagine most users in this chat will be above.

Yeah I remember that one too, there's never a shortage of insane idiots.

Don't think they killed her, but stabbed and severely wounded her.but they are in middle school, almost high school they knew better than that, no excuses

Everyone's already commented on the obvious 'lol first female really?' part, so I'll comment on something different... I feel like they really went out of their way to shoehorn in the fact she plays a transgender role in a totally unrelated show just for Tumblr's sake.

Look, I get it. Trans rights are a big deal, and more power to the movement. But the way this is presented, it really looks like they were fishing for any reason to use the term 'transgender' as a buzzword - no, as a badge - just to promote a product with something that has nothing to do with the product they're promoting. Their intention was clearly little more than to grab more search results.

This, apparently, was more important than selling a functional product.

EDIT: Seeing lots of people bringing up Samus, but I think there's been a misunderstanding (but considering the shoddy quality of the claim, that's no big surprise)... they're trying to claim the actress is one of the first to play a female lead in a video game. That still casts a long shadow over Lara Croft who is, I think, the very first female lead character to have a voice actress.

 

[Chrono.]

Oh yeah, we're getting a new Hyrule Warriors trailer next week.

forgot to mention it yesterday

 

[Bedoop]

I have no internet at home anymore and I'm only posting this from a School Netbook cuz my Internet Provider fporgot to send us the bill vbut trurned the internet off anyway
prapre for bad typing, let's do this ****

Ohhhh I thought of a fun prompt for discussion. It's also a neat bonding exercise we can learn about each other from.

Here's the prompt: one day, you're going about your business, and you receive a letter. But it's not just any letter, no...it's marked with the Super Smash Bros. symbol! That's right, you're gonna be representing your "home series" of sorts in Smash! But...there's one issue: you need to select the songs for your home stage.

Basically, choose six songs for your home stage. Any songs at all, so long as there's six, and they're songs that are meaningful to your life in some way. Then, explain why you chose those songs.

Spoiler: My Stage Song List

Nittany Lion Special - Penn State Blue Band
Sanctuary! - The Hunchback of Notre Dame
King of New York (Instrumental) - Newsies
Song for the Mira (Instrumental) - Allister MacGillivray
Carol of the Bells (Instrumental) - Traditional
Baba Yetu - Christopher Tin (Civilization IV)

Spoiler: Reasons

1. I mean, I go there. Alma mater and all. Plus we have the best songs.
2. Hunchback is my absolute favorite movie of all time.
3. Newsies is my favorite Broadway musical, and I love musicals. Plus, the whole journalist thing makes it fitting.
4. Story time! In my final concert choir performance, we sang this as per tradition. I was one of the five seniors who got a solo. :D Also finding a good quality instrumental version was tough, but it gets the point across. Reminds me of home, and instrumentally is essentially my Eight Melodies or Smiles and Tears.
5. Best Christmas song. I love Christmas music. Plus, I've sung it in choir countless times. That bass line, man. BUM. BUM. BUM. BUM.
6. Sang this one as well, if you can believe it. :D Had the single best Bass II line of any piece I've sung. So low, man. Also amazing to fight to, I'd imagine. Empowering.

Any takers for the challenge? :D

1) VS Theme
Reason;
2) Super Mario Land - World 1 Theme [REMIX]
Reason; I love me some Mario Land.
3) Song that might play when you fight Sans
Reason; I just like it. It's catchy.
4) Katamari on the Rocks (Instrumental)
Reason; ♫ ┌(-' v'-)┘ ♪ JEW JEW JEW ♪ └(-'v '-)┐♫
5) Luigi's Mansion [REMIX]
Reason; Oh yeh! Can't stop Weegee!
6) Waluigi Pinball
WAH
