Today's topics are: Australia K mart and Australia Target Remove GTA V From shelves, and Absolute Crap Ubisoft Releases.

If you didn't know K Mart Australia and Australia Target removed GTA V from their shelves. Why? Because some women, who have taken sexual violence or been a part of being sexually abused, made a petition saying and I quote "GTA V promotes violence against women, because by beating and killing a hooker after paying her for her work gives you health points." that quote is completely lying. You do get health for paying the hooker for her work, but not for killing her. The petition has a picture of a dead hooker lying on the ground covered in blood with a man holding a bloody ax. This can be done to any NPC in the game, not just the sex workers. The petition continues to go on about how this game promotes violence against women. The problem is that the petition was made on false grounds and a huge misunderstanding of the game mechanics. GTA V doesn't promote violence against women at all. The women who made this petition and the 256,000 people who signed it have no understanding of how the game actually works. GTA V allows the player to kill anyone in the game and in pretty much any way you want to. GTA V also has repercussions for killing people, the cops come after you after a certain amount of time and as you cause more mayhem more and more cops come to hunt you down. The AI for the cops is so intelligent that it's almost impossible to escape from them, so most of the time ending in your death. These people who made the petition and those who signed it obviously had no clue what the game was, they were mislead by what the petition was saying. I'd like to make a petition to get GTA V back of Australian shelves, but that won't likely happen.

Now Absolute Crap Ubisoft Releases. This year for Ubisoft games has been terrible. The ridiculous amount of bugs. glitches, and terrible optimization. For those of you who don't know Ubisoft has released 7 games this year. 7 games! All of them loaded with bugs, glitches, and false promises. I'll be using AC: Unity for most of this topic. AC: Unity had the worst release of any AC game I have ever seen. The game runs a solid 22 fps on nextgen consoles and can barely get over 50 fps on two SLI'd GTx 980s. This game, along with the terrible frame rate, has a serious amount of bugs and glitches. One of the most famous glitch being the Faceless NPC glitch. This glitch made all of the NPCs in the game have no face. It's really funny the first time you see it, but after more and more NPCs get this glitch it ruins the game. You can no longer appreciate the hard work the animators put in to make the faces. The animations in this game are so well done that once this glitch spreads through out your game the game becomes almost unplayable. A lot of the other glitches include, Micro stutter, bad texture pop in, falling through the map, becoming invincible, the NPCs becoming invinsible, a guide stopping and never moving so the game can't progress, the saves becoming corrupted, saves being deleted, missions becoming incomplete-able due to certain NPCs not loading or objects not loading, input and output delays. I could go on and on about this but I think you get the point. Along with AC: Unity, all the other games that Ubisoft released had some terrible glitches and bugs. I would list those but I think AC: Unity proves my point pretty thoroughly. This shouldn't be happening at all. Games should be completed before release. People should stop buying these games and preordering games and wait for reviews for these games to come out. I don't preorder games unless iv'e played the Beta or Alpha for free and if the Beta of Alpha was actually good. All other games I wait for reviews to come out, then judging by what the reviewer said I may or may not buy the game. Everyone should be practicing this. This would stop the release of buggy and glitchy game releases. Why? Because if you preorder a game the company that is making the game already gets your money, so they can do anything they want. Again i'd like to hear your thoughts on these subjects.
