Why do only outdoors or only reading… When you can do both!

I ALMOST talked myself out of this, and I’m so glad I didn’t… They sold out within HOURS

@Whitewvlf1 Ah. That must be a deep preference type of thing. I like when games reward you for testing things and figuring them out. I don’t like being handheld for gameplay, but I know some games that do more and build neat combat systems, so I’d say it’s neither good/bad, just preference

@MADkurious Using the combos and tricks

The OG AC Black Flag came out 4 years after Batman Arkham Asylum, 2 years after Arkham City, and it's combat couldn't surpass either. It was the most onenote boring combat & stealth but people seem to love it for some reason.

@BartSchleining Just South Park probably😂

@MADkurious Not surprised, I cant think of any turn based games you have played in the 3 1/2 years i have been watching your content.

I can’t believe it’s been a year since Expedition 33 came out?? It actually released right before I turned 33… and I still haven’t played it.

@RefractiveENT I joke that I’ll NEVER play it but honestly you never know. I feel like it would be poetic to play it at 33 since it game out for that and from the bits I know that seems to be important, but nonetheless, I’ll be on Black Flag nonstop now to take the WR before the remake

Haha ya if you dont like turn stat based combat, it definitely wouldn't be fun. But ill say I don't typically like that gameplay either but this games story and acting had me hooked so it grew on me. You really have to play for the story tho, so you gotta start from the beginning haha

@2099gaming @sarshelyam Maybe a vegan or something hahaha

@sarshelyam @MADkurious I'm ngl I never in my life never met a person that doesn't like mac n cheese 😭😭😭

No. The og was trash to me and I dropped it. Not interested in this.

@Whitewvlf1 What’s optional?

@MADkurious Very true, all optional sadly.

@RefractiveENT Borrowing*

@RefractiveENT It just doesn’t look fun to me🙈 I wouldn’t mind boring someone’s save file to make some ambience videos though lol. It looks pretty to walk through

@XboxJesus87 I’m of the same mind, but for dislike rather than skill. I just simply don’t think it looks fun enough to compete with the myriad of other potential games to play

@MADkurious I'm pretty terrible at turn based games so I haven't played it yet either. But maybe one day I will buy it when I can :)

@ModernCeasar And the others need to be given a giant push to stop their doomscrolling and LEARN

@MADkurious People had enough of slop and brainwashing

I am more curious how many adults would pass this exam today.

@sarshelyam @2099gaming It’s funny how that works. AC is my COMFORT FOOD and I can’t possibly understand how Spider doesn’t like it (breaking my heart😢), but I’m sure there’s some people out there who don’t like Mac and Cheese, so that applies here as well.

@2099gaming I always find it curious how polarizing this series is. There never seems to be a middle ground, one either loves it or hates it.

@thegtaassassin @NikTek YouTube ruining everyone’s fun as usual. I’m honestly not sure they’re going to stay the video leader forever anymore at this rate.

@NikTek Probably because of YouTube's new policy against gore and blood in gameplays

I don't see a reason why Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced wouldn't include blood. This was likely turned off in the settings, it wouldn't make sense for Ubisoft to have this feature turned off especially right after the most brutal AC game they've ever made that was Shadows

@RavenMentore Sounds like you’ll have another chance though!!

Morally, I am disappointed i missed out. Saddened and now upset i couldn't pre-order this in time.. 😔 Yeah I'm just gonna hide in a corner for a bit. And not available in the UK either anymore..

@KrazIIvan_ Right?? I must have it, I will have it.

@MADkurious It has a pirate diary...just sayin 💅🏻

I may or may not have just pre-ordered my first Collector’s Edition ever, sight unseen on the trailer or event, just by how excited everyone else seems to be!! I might even get a copy for free, so take this as proof I’m not bought, I’m just obsssesed with Assassin’s Creed

@SpawnYaardReply Gamers: “Hey Microsoft when are you going to make a new—” Microsoft: “YOUR MOM IS AN XBOX”

@MADkurious Yeah, I'm glad they got rid of 'this is Xbox' campaign

Xbox does a BRUTAL self reflection starting with: Players are FRUSTRATED Current Challenges 🔹 Player Dissatisfaction: Leadership acknowledged frustrations regarding infrequent console updates, a weak PC presence, rising costs for consumers, and a fragmented user experience in social and discovery tools. 🔹 Development Pressures: The rising cost and time required to build "blockbuster" titles are making traditional game development riskier, while small teams and user-generated content platforms (like Roblox) are gaining massive scale. The Shifting Landscape 🔹 Platform Evolution: While the console market remains stable, Windows (PC) has become the primary hub for player growth and intense competition. 🔹 Consumer Behavior: New generations of players prioritize social creation over "just playing" and are increasingly moving toward subscription-based services for instant, evolving value. 🔹 Global Competition: Over half of the industry's revenue and growth is now occurring outside of traditional Western markets, with international developers reinventing established genres. The Path Forward 🔹 Need for Innovation: The memo emphasizes that the "spirit of risk-taking" that created Xbox in 2001 is required again. 🔹 Strategic Pivot: Leadership explicitly states that the business model used for the last two decades is no longer sufficient, signaling a major transition in how Xbox will operate as a platform and publisher moving forward

@ashnichrist We definitely need more heavy competition in the livestreaming space. And it sounds like Rumble has en ecosystem larger than just that

@MADkurious I'm interested. Chris is a compelling leader

Should I look into Rumble? You guys want a deep dive into the platform? Or nah?

@EmissaryCmmndnt My image? If I was obsessed with my "image," I would about even what the bots like you say. I'm merely making a point of you this morning. Thanks for the content, bud.

@MADkurious It's obvious you’re obsessed with your image and only care about yourself. I mean that in the worst way possible. I really hope you look into your issues, it might actually help you.

She couldn't care less that the company has committed atrocities against women with management's blessing... Great choice in content creators you guys have, she’s just happy about her pre-order.
