@cboye18: I'm sorry, but I strongly disagree with almost everything you said, for the Ezio trilogy that is, since those and AC 1 are the only ones I've played fully. The combat and stealth mechanics aren't bad in any of the games, save maybe the first. And uninteresting characters and stories, are you kidding? The story in the Ezio trilogy is amazing, and so are the characters. I mean, aside from Ezio himself, you've got Leonardo freakin' Da Vinci for crying out loud, and he's really great in the games! For me, the setting, the story, and maybe the characters is what really makes the games so good for me. The missions are extremely repetitive in the first game, yes, I agree. Main reason I didn't like it much. It got vastly better in the Ezio games though. I think they're good there. With all of that said, after the end of the Ezio saga, the series has gone downhill from there, particularly in AC 3, and I've also struggled to get properly interested in the setting in any of the other games apart from maybe Unity. I love old history, and am not very interested in new history, so Renaissance Italy (in particular) and Constantinople, old Middle East during the times of the Templars, and I guess France during the French Revolution = interesting, while stuff like 18th century US and industrial revolution London = *snooooooooore*....

@TheZeroPercent: Quit it with the hyphens already. What's the deal with that? It's a weird gimmick, and I don't get why you're doing it...

@darthrevenx: I'm a long time Star Wars fan who didn't even like The Force Awakens, yet I have to say, this is one of the dumbest ranting posts I have ever read...and you basically just proved d9000 to be right about you...

@kazeswen: Oh, sorry, have not played that one. :-P

@kazeswen: I actually don't remember that, I'm afraid. ^^' I'm sure it was cool though. Which game was this? The first Paper Mario on N64?

@kazeswen: The first two Paper Mario games were proper RPG's just like the Mario & Luigi games. Great stories, parties with lots of colorful characters, turn-based combat, experience and leveling up, all of that stuff. And they were FANTASTIC games, especially The Thousand Year Door. Wit the third game, Super Paper Mario, they kept the great story element, but they turned it into more of a platformer with some RPG elements. It didn't have parties either. It was still good, especially the story, but not as great as the two previous games, which were still quite a bit better. Then with Sticker Star things really went downhill...It wasn't an RPG at all anymore, and it didn't have a great story. And it looks like this new game will be the same...Like most other Paper Mario fans, I just want the series to go back to its RPG roots, and make a great story driven RPG like the first two games. It's a crying shame that the series has descended into some weird platformer thing...

@ninjaxams: Hmm. I see. I haven't heard about that, and didn't know about that, so I can't really comment on that I guess. So you may have a point, if he is indeed being a douche. As far as teachers not being held to high standards though, um...isn't that like, you know...true? :-/ I mean just based on the level of ignorance displayed among an alarming number of Americans, I can't help but think there's something to it...I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone here, and I'm not trying to be rude, it's just what I genuinely think/the impression I get, based on what I see on TV and on the internet.

@ninjaxams:

The hell do you have against Matt Damon? :-/ Guy's both a brilliant actor, and a brilliant movie creator (not just my opinion, movie critics and an overwhelming amount of movie fans agree as well, and his numerous awards speak for themselves), and he seems to be a pretty nice and sympathetic guy to boot. Don't know why you'd call him a clown. :-/ I'd like to hear your reasoning.
