Im not, id like to be "excited" for AC3 but im not, i know now its gonna play EXACTLY the same as the past games, same combat system, same level of violence, same kill cams, same missions

Im tired of all that, its like ridin the same women for 6 years, its starts off new/fun, but over time, you know exactly what your doin, the "excitement" wears off, you want summin new

By your judgement then a lasting relationship is an impossibility lol.

I disagree, I have no particularly high hopes for the game yet, But I fail to see how it could be the same, There will not be any built up cities to be jumping from building to building on.

This clearly meant a large change in the play style as they had to create a new engine for it. It will definitely be different, if it is as much fun remains to be seen

Nate-Dog4398d ago

They said they have been developing a brand new engine and have taken up combat from scratch. I agree with you in that I am more than sick of the combat at this stage, and even when I first heard that they were improving combat I didn't believe it but they have detailed things more and it all sounds good. Admittedly I'm still slightly sceptical but I know we'll get footage of it soon so I'll judge then.

"play EXACTLY the same as the past games"

False. If you read the previews, you will know that this game will have a completely redone combat system, tree climbing, hunting (Wildlife) and a new engine. To me that sounds like it's going to play a lot different than the past.

JsonHenry4398d ago

I'm actually interested in this one and I haven't been able to force myself to complete or finish any of the other AC games to date.

Stinky_Fish4398d ago

if anything this new game killed anything I might of had left

InTheLab4398d ago (Edited 4398d ago )

I've decided to pass on all annualized titles. I'm done with milked franchises. No more Street Fighter, CoD, Spider-Man, Transformers, and Assassin's Creed....especially AC.

What bothers me about the "new" game is the fact that all of the beneficial changes made to AC3 should be in AC Brotherhood and Revelations. They intentionally gimped two games during the 3 year dev time for AC3. Ubi knew they were shoveling the same s*** every year and basically whoring out one of their top franchises.

At least it took two generations to burn out Prince of Persia...

Veni Vidi Vici4398d ago

I didn't like AC1 but the sequels seemed to get better each time and the story has always been good.

As long as the story is good and they add new things to keep it fresh, it should be a solid game.

Let's just hope there's no ME3 type ending with this one.

Games with the dumbest NPCs

Non-playable characters in certain games are meme material, thanks to their foolish behavior. These are the big-budget games with the dumbest NPCs.

Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩

How did redfall not make the cut.

Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.

My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.

Killer2020UK264d ago

I literally just came here to post this. That music in the Resi 1 safe rooms is playing in my head.

Rimeskeem263d ago

I was thinking TLOU work benches. Although I remember one time where it was a false security.

closed_account263d ago

Perfect. 👌👌

I'd add the top of my highrise apartment in GTA Online. That calm, quiet peace, just knowing as soon as I step out that door I will be bombarded by 8 and 12 year olds calling each other n**** and f****, trolled by combat jets and rocket launchers.

The entire map of SotC is peaceful as hell. Used to just ride around exploring it.

mastershredder263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

Afterlife in Cyberpunk 2077 is a peaceful area? Erm, hands down and very hard to miss, Misty Olszewski's Esoterica is the absolute epitome of peaceful areas in that game.

raiden_188263d ago

The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.

RPGer263d ago

Kingdom Hearts tend to present half peaceful areas and most of them are amazing.

'Assassin’s Creed III': Ten Years Later

With the recent reveal of Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the promise that the series will return to its roots, there hasn’t been a better time to get stuck into Assassin’s Creed’s back catalog, whether it’s replaying an old favorite or getting lost in previously looked-over classic.

Ten years later, we miss the old you, Assassin's Creed.

Popsicle538d ago (Edited 538d ago )

I really enjoyed Assassins Creed 3. My only complaint was that I didn’t enjoy when I had to switch from Connor to Desmond. It’s a personal preference, but Connor’s story was just more fun for me.

On a side note, Black flag was the most enjoyable of the AC games I played.
