I also love the historical settings, but the story is what made me first love the series after the original game. And you're probably right about them not having any idea where the story would go after the Desmond arc. It's like Lost where they wrote themselves into a corner and had to tack shit on.
hey, I paid actual best buy spacebucks for this game! I should be able to get it whenever I want!
It's actually from the same developer who did Matt Hazard so i wouldn't be surprised if there are some issues.
yeah i really got into it. It is tons of fun, but especially if you had to play the old game. Crossing hordes of zombies instead of river crossing, and driving a station wagon instead of a covered wagon, lol. It is so great. Endless mode looks like tons of replayability and challenges to compete, shame there isn't any trophies for playing it. (altho I found easy way to get trophies was to start endless mode with everyone as a zombie. Then you can get 2-3 trophies alot easier. ) Also if you go to the map while choosing routes it will change the perks the auto store/combat trainer will have. They might patch that soon tho, so jump on it.
As much as I want to like Assassin's Creed even with decent scores, it still feels like something's missing from this series for me. Maybe it's the combat. I played and loved 4 (only ever played some of 1 and the Vita game) but with so many open world games now I'm not so sure I want to sink another 30-40 or however many hours this game has to offer. Especially when other games seem to be doing it better. I think more than anything I'd just like to see the series take a year or 2 off and come back with something that's polished, updated, and hits a 9 or above because it's obvious the base is solid. Maybe even trash the story or reboot and have it actually mean something.
You always say how you need to finish Assassin's Creed games, I'll make this easy for you...you won't. Just move forward. It's not as if there is some grand over-arching story that's easily understandable that you'll miss out on. As much as I really did enjoy 4 these just pop up every year like weeds!
I usually finish the games that I start (Brotherhood, years ago), I want to play the ACs that reviewed well-ish or added something new and fun gameplay-wise (which is why I'm skipping Revelations and 3), and I already own them so why not play them?
Meh, Unity wasnt all that different from the others. I doubt Synicate is either. They just tweak some things here and there. Every Ass Creed has felt basically the same to me. Which I dont mind as long as I dont have to play the present day shit.
me: i need to identify the hidden traits on this item.
so far indications are that syndicate tweaked fighting to be more batman-ish. combo meter, dramatic finishes, changed gadget/gun integrations - I imagine it'll still feel similar but if the last game you played was AC2 or brotherhood I bet syndicate will feel pretty different. guess we'll see soon!
Yeah I read about the "new" combat but it still looked visually like it would still have that Ass Creed feel to it. We will see. Either way the game sounds fun.
did you pick up blood bowl? I'll snag it from the library today if you want to be a dear and trade some online match wins tonight. I think we can just surrender and not play through the 30+ minute games but I also don't mind playing if you prefer. unless I can pick up syndicate today because hype.
True enough.
I agree with your last two posts (sans stuff about Unity or Black Flag - haven't played them). I think they lost their direction even before the Desmond arc was finished.
I did pick it up, but this entire week I've been falling asleep on the couch before I get to it. #wornout. i'm not into boosting like that, but once I get a chance to learn the game I'd be up for matches.
That's only because it feels like you go back in time 20 years when you walk into one.
Pharm made the point for me, but even just watching gameplay videos tells me it hasn't changed much, time will tell I guess when people in here get their hands on it.
If you want Steam/eBay/gas/etc. cards, the time to cash out is now.
I think the blue looks kind of cool. The other colors not so much. The main problem with them is they don't change the entire top of the console. That would look a lot better. In spite of that the blue doesn't look too bad.
so bizarre that they would include restaurant gift cards along with the console spacebucks cards. maybe they have a bigger margin or something.
it's remake of one in the older syle. i think most people did/are buying it because you can unlock symphony of the night in it.
Nice. Maybe someday soon we'll also be able to buy games for other people.There's a new heart icon thing in the store:
It's a Wishlist.
In what universe does a DS game look better than a PSP game?
it up, WB.
