Notes at the Ruins. #35.

#35. Getting raw and broken.

A box of unreleased Cyberpunk 2077 decorated in emblem of unexplainable "over 200 awards" reminded worst games, which released "Game of the Year Edition". I like a without arrogance Volition joked on it in "The Game of the Century" of tremendous Saints Row IV where satirized on games. Twenty minutes of Cyberpunk 2077 dropped in the world web with low-quality photo of package of PlayStation 4 version. Video released a day later by developer wasn't different on understanding about gameplay, but in that unstoppable laughing of so-called "demonstration" was without make-up work. Repair car by dialog choice between "do right technical action" and pressing on "I'm thinking" will return to instant two variants. Few times of pushing on button for ignite engine of a car, once for open a door on a mission place and then again for "kick it". To relief, it was without QTE. That's version showed texture loading what isn't of things by which I disappoint. I became more confident in elements, which I pointed before. It looks, I willn't get availability to play in third-person. Does developers know that it deprives sense in character creation? CD Projekt's cut video of breathing two PlayStation versions provided enhancement of suspicion on driving by using of efforts for keeping straight a car after simple turning to the right. Polish studio somewhere heard "give drama" in building of scenes, which they can't do it. Frozen sitting guard awakes on started conversation where asks to pass guns, which a playable character gets in huge heavy pistol. That's man on duty picks a weapon and wipes imaginable sweat by sleeve of own shirt with holding of this shooting piece. It would be bizarre even for New York. Then visit of equal in moves a custody officer, who takes papers, asks about transportation and simultaneously he turns documents on rib and suddenly decides to have a cigarette. Currently, I see Keanu Reeves is one man, who had filming experience before. Don't creative with last names for personages: Blackhand, Silverhand, Smasher, Weyland. The last in correct, but I think it was taken from founder of one corporation in Alien films. Will Cyberpunk 2077’s Weyland have a same occupation? Other surnames recalled for me Japanese gamemakers for whom is hurdle to imagine non-Japanese names since nineties. I can accept a laziness in explanation in making of American names in which I don’t see hard (Yord Rumpelburitz, for example.). I check dictionary in absence of confidence. It perfectly helped me to write one story (I'm not sure in publishing in future.) where action happens in countries of the Eastern Europe. I have a thought that Night City, which developers put in California, willn't have meaning that story will take a place in America.

THQ Nordic hurts games in every variant and it was discovered in re-release. Two computers with system requirements in five-year range had similar mistakes in Men of Valor in which I wanted to replay. THQ Nordic had bought rights in 2015 and game on GOG now. I hear, but don’t see a launching screens with developers logo on modern machine, but on past shows emblem of present owner, which mustn’t be hear. Introduction screens can miss by “escape” in both situations. A small time for appearance of starting menu in a little window, which, fortunately, can wide in full. Two hours of playthrough and in mission of bunker explosion, which is a grand defiance on last hard difficulty, doesn’t launch a trigger with a team member. It can pass with luck by level reloading and watching of unskipping scenes. Original version hasn’t glitches.

Notes at the Ruins. ##33-34.

#33. Firm expectation of failure.

CD Projekt released a special issue of still coming Cyberpunk 2077 for currently existing Microsoft consoles. Gameplay in scraps usually devoted to walking. And sometimes talking. It would be had astonishment feeling in nineties. Nevertheless, there were informative pieces, but watching of episode was with suspicion on hiding of developers. I had it to movement of a car where I was thinking about possible misbalance in control. Sound of shooting pistol was unnatural in club’s basement or whatever it was happening, but it definitely wasn’t a closed range premise. I am not sure on precise ballistics. Video watching was giving known prejudices. Still was thinking about Deus Ex, but with lifeless lifebars. I again was convinced that developers hadn’t attention to work on using of sword, which physics of sliced head with flying mysterious flesh pieces is a radical cut of editor. Artificial intelligence gives to think I will see many comedic things.

Ubisoft didn’t call a number, but they debunked said on COVID-19 by statement that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla for first week period sold the biggest quantities of units in series and it has the highest sales for PC in all company’s games in Ubisoft Store.


#34. Impostor and in vanity.

Unknown original developing project of IO Interactive was scheduled to reveal itself in December 19. I wanted to see not-Hitman from current studio staff although on their humiliations on Agent 47. I’ve made a cup of tea, but it would be right if I would save rest of Jack Daniel’s, which I’ve used a day before. After appointed four o’clock were additional two minutes, which was first impolite. Second was in few seconds of stream where first sounds gave to think it’s James Bond and I understood soon that I must be a music producer. Project 007 is a working title of a game about getting “license to kill” by leading personage, which continues to be in early development and studio requires developers. IO Interactive must change company’s title.

Keanu Reeves was a sense in all episodes of Cyberpunk 2077, which are accurate to Electronic Arts conferences. Actor represented professionalism in talking, which was about different experience, a game and own character. Presumably, he will much if suppose in a little bit disclosed screenplay. Maybe it will finish with choice on terminate or not Johnny Silverhand? Modern screenplays are so predictive, but, perhaps, everything of written by myself will incorrect and I will drink a bottle of Christmas wine before celebration due of shock condition? It will not a “typical sandbox of new generation” as it inhabits in my suspicions. “So important!” exclaimed me in mind on devotion to radio stations. And listening texts of songs and interviews with singers, which words are raw rudeness for quoting, make me to think that I willn’t find likeable in indicated seven hours and thirty minutes. Everybody with these numbers! Ubisoft didn’t say quantity of sold units of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, but they counted quantity of crossed distances, built houses, played dice rounds and how much beer was drunk. Headline of YouTube channel Ubisoft North America has only acclaimed ratings. I could be again make a miss. I shouldn’t critically accept about music and videos called gameplay, which it hasn’t in Cyberpunk 2077 show. At least in the end was some information about what is usually in every present game (interesting, will it one more project where after creation of a character willn’t allow to play in third person?). All correct, I must play and see what will actually in Cyberpunk 2077, which CD Projekt offering and mentions that on their GOG all profit will go to them. I decided my buying will “Downloaded Edition”.

14 Hands Hot to Trot in one thirsty throat.

Mayflower wasn’t going to anchoring in Cape Cod, but strong winter seas interrupted to planned destination Virginia Colony and forced pilgrims to stop in November 21, 1620 in place, which will Provincetown from where they moved further and based Plymouth Colony. It was a second English vessel arrived on coast of this land, which was filled of Puritans, people whose views wasn’t accepting in British kingdom. Community of these free people will populate a territory which will become New England from where will ignite rebellion against empire and will be created the United States of America.
I always had interest to this country. I had in thoughts of “returning home” in arriving to New York despite I wasn’t there before. Then I didn't know that I am going to the cradle of the United States where was a found job and movement to it was with coming to Boston at first to which I, unfortunately, hadn’t interest then and two times I was there in few minutes for buy a ticket on bus, which I’ve purchased it from made me funny company “Plymouth”, because I knew a car with it’s name. It entertained me again when bus had stop in this town.

All right, I willn’t pretend in hiding of my alcohol addiction and will tell how I had 14 Hands Hot to Trot of year 2015 on the Anniversary of Landing.

A bottle of Washington wine from Columbia Valley to which I did pilgrimage (you should be was thinking that I wasn’t going to use it in telling?) long before of celebration. Turkey fillet was cut on thin slices on which I strongly used a meat spice and crumbs of bread. Fusion of olive and vegetable oils was a spectacular discovery of French cuisine for me. I poured drops of these liquids on heated pan to where was put Turkey meat then. I wasn't risk in experiments.
An uncorked bottle of 14 Hands Hot to Trot gave a poly flavor and a first sip was divine. Strangely, wine was contrasting in frequently using, which was a taste of grape wastes. It was nicely drinking with breaks. Although that's experience made to feel magnificent in aftertaste.

I am not sure on visiting of Provincetown, because I was a passenger in trucks of filled of ice, which was delivering in different points of Cape Cod. Weeks later I was rolling peninsula in a pickup with a staff of landscape designing.

Notes at the Ruins. ##31-32.

#31. Cancelled arrival.

Walkthrough of Watch Dogs: Legion in whole pieces was available for watching in one day before of release. I was exhausting in clicking of storyline due of own supposition that scriptwriters hadn’t in projecting to do with efforts. Most part of the story looks that team of writers didn’t meet until passing to lead author, who compiled from written and Clint Hocking lousy directed it. A quarter game. Villains usually in twice appearances kill any presence of morality. Traitors come without explanation. Almost any NPC can make playable, but nobody will with a personality. Conversations between repeatable actions devoted to discussing of next mission where frequently requiring drone and a lot of spiderbot. Using swears as jokes in talks aren’t abomination of GTA series, but immature. Many missions of the basic storyline fit for secondary tasks, which some of them need to accomplish.

#32. Followers of madness.

“Going gold” defines accomplishment of development and readiness for publishing. I didn’t know a delayed game after that announcement as was with Cyberpunk 2077, which date change surprised ninety percent staff of CD Projekt. Later studio’s representor confessed that game works on PC well. Maybe CD Projekt and Ubisoft made a deal, but that’s just my wacky theory. Occasions after that give a place for thinking. Date relocation from November 19 to December 10 influenced to do it on studios, who were going to release own games in this winter month. One of them was Ubisoft, who scheduled Rainbow Six: Quarantine from somewhere in December (presumably, after Cyberpunk 2077 release.) and Far Cry 6 from February 18 to between April and September. Action explained by COVID-19. Ubisoft was a first gaming company indicated on virus from China since passed year. But it didn’t influence on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in November 10 and upcoming nearest games: Just Dance 2021 will in November 12, Immortals Fenyx Rising in December 3, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake still on January 21 and multiplayer game Riders Republic didn’t relocate from February 21 date. Physical format in require, but Ubisoft sells it in set of collector editions for last years. I suppose, rescheduling of Cyberpunk 2077 delayed Ubisoft Forward 3, which would be interesting for me if company will say a date of frightening Beyond Good & Evil 2.
Expectation of gameplay of Rainbow Six: Quarantine presumably will for death confirmation to series, which actually was in firing of creators of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6: Patriots whose vision harmed some Americans what made one of reasons of later cancellation of the game. Previous duology Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas 1-2 was controversial due of mayor of Las Vegas in whose opinion a game about terrorists who attacked Las Vegas will distract tourists. It didn’t stop releasing of the first part and year and a half later the second was in sells. Ubisoft of present turned to companies, which react on unhappy people. Frenchmen evade from any potential hot spots now. They political correct as commies. Instant reaction on criticizing of Assassin’s Creed video where presented only male personages was in apologizing on Twitter and adding of women characters, which version rereleased. Deleting by patch a journalist performed in Watch Dogs: Legion due of pointing on her controversial views. Ubisoft said “thank you” and apologized for indication by lonely unknown person on “absolutely unacceptable to talk about facial differences this way” about fictional character description in fresh released Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Frenchmen patched “Horribly burned in a childhood, Eorforwine is terrified someone will see her disfigured face. She relieves her fury with burst of violence”. If listen every crazy man... Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is the first in series chose action in fiction place with flashbacks in “Middle-East”. Shame in contract of great games, which were releasing under it’s name. Ubisoft creates fiction enemies, but it doesn’t give safety as it was recently. Emblem of clenched black fists of amoral organization Umbra in a mobile game with Tom Clancy’s trademark reminded one of symbols of Black Lives Matter for these upset people.
NB. One of founders of Black Lives Matter calls organization’s basis in books of Zedong, Marx, Ul’yanov and political theories (which are communistic.) of criminal Angela Davis, whose KGB greatly used.
Ubisoft gave a reasonable answer that “raised fist” is ordinary using in rebellion movements, but understood how “insensitive and harmful” and made fixation. ActivisionBlizzard cleaned shots with rioters on Tiananmen Square in Call of Duty of this year for China. I remember example with IGI-2: Covert Strike when for China showed game without Chinese levels (where can kill PLA soldiers.) for evade of censure, which was imposed six month later when detected. The game wasn’t fixed for this country. I will unbelievably surprise if Ubisoft is a company with racist staff. Of course, that’s did for reputation and for potential money profit, but I wouldn’t take care what they are thinking. It is not a dictatorship where need to be more careful, but it depends on situation. I understand fragility of their feelings, but I don’t like exaggeration, which is used as well as terrorists in Quran presenting. The great man Vladimir Bukovskiy in Judgement in Moscow on his oppressions by communists and who spent twelve years in whole for open dissident activity writes that doesn’t count himself as a victim.
NB. By the way, he wrote this book in 1996 and it translated on many languages. Bukovskiy didn’t succeed to publish in English, because large publishers (one of them was Random House.) required to rewrite book from side where left-wing are good guys. It is completely editing of the second part. Vladimir Bukovskiy didn’t agree on any corrections. He tried to release through a little family publishing house, which have got court threats on closing. English version of the book happened to appear in May 2019 by small publisher Ninth of November.
Unfortunately, I still have no courage qualities in full, but I was revealing myself in some places, which recallings make me feel a human. I had oppressions for chosen way, which belongs to minority even among minorities. I’m in society where don’t like individuality. Certainly, I haven’t a right to compare with what had Vladimir Bukovskiy and all what I can say that I also don’t count myself as a victim. I want revenge and will get it, but that’s not about it. Alien zombies are safety (perhaps) from hysteria and has nothing uniting with series famous as tactical shooter in reality.
No much information on Far Cry 6 too, but I don’t think so I will rethink from not to play in it. A mission was in Far Cry 2 to clear a place from fighting for power a rival faction, which secured gold. Always after getting of assignment, a protagonist got a cell phone call from a partner, who was offering alternative for completing. It was kill a king in this case, who was wearing a ring, which makes an owner a man who carries it. I always took the ring, but didn’t give to prince with whom my partner was waiting in one of safe houses. I was going to complete initial goal. I was killing everybody and have the ring, but developers didn’t extended in this place. You take a mission of one of two fractions and then do given assignment or execute partner’s alternative. It would interesting to create a game with chain of variety. I was writing an article about these kind of games long time ago where was very critical that freedom of choice is illusion. Be honest, if I would do a game with choice possibility – it would be a parody where every taken decision will brings to bad consequences. The ending would be one – a good. Far Cry 2 had advantages that is another setting after two tropic games by Crytek and no character of the first game. Play for one of chosen mercenaries who must find and kill arm dealer Jackal in somewhere in Africa. I’ve completed more than once. There old weapon can break in shooting. Pills against malaria are small in quantity, they run out and you must get a new portion before of new sick attack. I like this game. It was for perfect when Ubisoft bought Far Cry right from developer Crytek, who never made fantastic games. A first sight on Far Cry was graphical charming of tropics through which I was moving and kill at walk, drive, swim and fly. Showed up monsters ruined paradise. They were dying with large quantity of shots. It didn’t get a pleasure. Stage of levels became intrusive walkthrough and story revealed that it doesn’t belong to fine-written drama. I’ve finished game with cheats. Far Cry 3 is succeeded game about tropical island which has excellent that can feel a transformation of leading personage from first time shooter to experienced man. Ubisoft did spectacular Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Far Cry 4 after that. About another dictator of another fiction country against rebels who will do no activity when a main hero will complete goal alone. In game’s description could stop on words “Far Cry 6”, which is “a sandbox from Ubisoft”. I would do more complex story with more than one political faction, who striving to power.

Soul turbulence by McIvor.

A drink for not expensive price of cases when no extraordinarily. Smell is appreciate. Burning in month in searching to find pleasure is explanation that better don’t hold for long. This burning will remind on itself for some time after swallow. Aftertaste says that whisky is drinkable. Improvement in dropped a piece of ice, which removes burning from existing. Drinking and getting pleasure with enjoyable aftertaste. Cooked pasta which stirred with deer mincemeat, cut tomatoes, squished garlic, poured ketchup, peppered is always dish for a good whisky as also cashew, which I some used it later.
