OXM - I'm not enjoying Assassin's Creed 3. In fact, I think it's fair to say I loathe it. That's partly because after several hours of play, I'm only just beginning to experience the game Ubisoft has spent the past six months banging on about in the trailers. The monstrous prologue (which, in fairness, houses a cunning twist) is clearly the work of a team that's simultaneously too fond of its own universe and excessively anxious about teaching newcomers the basics. New and familiar tools are handed out to players grudgingly, and the use of those tools is broken up by fat, clumsy hunks of exposition.
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* 😩
Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.
Here are the most peaceful areas in games that are otherwise quite violent, offering players respite from chaos in the game world.
My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.
I literally just came here to post this. That music in the Resi 1 safe rooms is playing in my head.
I was thinking TLOU work benches. Although I remember one time where it was a false security.
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.
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.
The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.
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.
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.
I agree 100% with this read. I feel like this is one of the laziest boring slogs I have ran through this year. Not to mention it is riddled with bugs. Once the excitement of the new locations wears off this game is extremely dissapointing. Dishonored blows it out of the water.
I like mostly everything about this game. The thing that I don't like as much as the rest is the combat...
I'm sick and tired of these kinds of articles.
I mean, what purpose does it serve beyond getting hits. It's hardly informative.
Hmmmm, the majority are really enjoying AC3. I know, i'll write several paragraphs about how much I hate it. People will be angry with what I have to say, but it's my right as an opinionated gaming 'journlist' to get on my soapbox and type dross that benefits no one. And the hits will flow. *performs finger pyramid of evil contemplation*
We really have reached the bottom. Can't think of an interesting, intelligent and insightful article to write. Don't worry, just spout your meaningless opinions. Cos' that's what being a journalist is all about these days.
I just got the game this morning so I am still trying to get used to the controls. But I find the controls a little awkward, doesn't make sense to me that I aim my pistol while it's still in the holster then I shoot. Why can't I draw my pistol out like I do my sword then aim and shoot? Just seems very strange to me. Then again maybe I am not doing it right somehow. I do like the story so far and the environment is really well done.
