Great, so we know it is a western with seven dudes in it... Which is exactly what we knew from the still image.

^Simples^

Armoured Ashley was a god-send. She is still one of the series' most annoying characters (in competition with Steve (CVX) and Sherry (RE2)).

wrt "African American" v "British Asian" I think there is more of a tendency in the UK to be either / or. People who consider themselves British who are of Asian descent would just be called British. People who consider themselves Asian and living in Britain would be "Asian". Man, Obama is one of the most underrated (in America - the rest of the world seems to think he is pretty great) presidents of all time. I hope you all realise how lucky you are / were to have him in charge during a pretty shitty time in the world. The whole "rigged election" thing could go one of two ways for Trump, it will either galvanise his supporters to go out and vote their asses off to try to beat the system (worst case scenario) or, it will leave them feeling totally disenfranchised with the system so they don't even bother (hope springs eternal).

British colloquialism would traditionally have been "Oriental" for Far East Asian cultures, though I understand the term to be somewhat of a pejorative these days. "Asian" in UK is, I think, understood to mean both Western and Eastern Asian with nearby communities influencing which you think of first. Someone in Bradford is likely to think of Asian as Indian, Pakistani etc. Someone from Aldershot more likely to think Nepalese (a lot of former Gurkhas there). Certain parts of London (East Finchley springs to mind) would associate the term with Japanese descendants. Feels a bit uncomfortable putting folk in boxes like that though... :/

"The British Empire at present covers a quarter of the globe"... Hence, Brexit.

I love it. It evokes enough of the classic, but adds a new perspective. It is like RE4 which shook things up by giving you control of the camera.

I'm with Dean on the "never really gave a toss about it" thing. The PC port will suck balls anyway. You know it, I know it. It will suck until modders are done fixing and breaking it.

After the US version of the Ring, I have no problem believing that they have called the order the Assassins' Creed.

I will never. NEVER. Do the spoopy name thing. (How even do you change your name!?)

Game trying to gouge customers?! I wonder why... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/03/23/game-digital-shares-take-another-beating-on-profit-slump/

"surprise-release" would have helped I think.

Haha, let's face it, we all knew that this was the first thing people were going to try on that title.

Google Pixel: How much!? £800+ for the top spec model... Jeeeeebus.

I liked IB, got up to rank 5 in a couple of days and I am not even particularly great at competitive FPS's.

I see. Assuming SA as a government hold significant amounts of money in US based accounts. But surely, as soon as this law looked like it might be passed, SA would (if they were sensible) just close all their accounts no? It just seems utterly unworkable from a practical perspective. Setting aside the international relationship damage.

Assassin's Creed does it well. Where it sort of soft-locks you together.

I get in theory why they wouldn't want to be seen to be voting "against 9/11 families" but this is stupid. Are they planning to bring SA to a court, sue them and then have them pay money? How would you even enforce that? You'd go to SA with your Supreme Court Writ saying "You owe me all the dollars." and they would say... "No thanks, we'll keep them." and then what? The US Gov't offsets it against any debt owed to SA and pays the victims, and then SA says, "Well, USA just defaulted on its debts." and then the whole promissory note, currency thing falls apart...

It was across all retail in UK, you'll be lucky to find one now though I'd have thought. Most likely Sony clearing the decks ahead of PS4 Slim launch.

Just so! I got a vanguard one.

Who's selling a 350 Ghost?

Also helps to have a VR setup with the wire running to the ceiling. Can't wait to see the VR fails when people try this spinning shit while tethered to a PC/PS4.

It's like they speeded up original Mario. But with some more fancy jumping. Ninty fans are gonna gobble this up.

It does look like Destiny.

Jedi that are trying to be a bit dark to seem cool are technically Jedgy, or Jedgelords depending on their rank.
