The last couple of weeks have given us two of the biggest games of the fall, both from Ubisoft. Assassin's Creed III continues the historically focused swashbuckling adventure series, and Far Cry 3 lets players loose on a violent South Pacific island paradise.
Both games feature the number "3" and both games have a second word that begins with "Cr." Both are very ambitious, open-world games that push the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 to their limits. And as a result, both games shine brightest on PC.
There have been plenty of great villains in video games over the years. Now it's time for the VGU crew to name a few of their favorites.
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.
So true
they are, but I'm still disappointed in assassins creed 3s performance. I know its pretty woeful on consoles as well, but I expected more...
I really feel that everything was rushed or just poorly executed as far as gameplay goes. The game is beautiful but to the culmination of such a great story you figured Ubisoft would have attempted to make a flawless game.
Built my first gaming pc recently and ive been loving the experience so far, but nothing has blown me away yet like Far Cry 3, i find it hard to play the game because i just spend most of my time looking around and admiring how beautiful this game looks, especially at sunrise.
Looks aside, its a great game and im really enjoying it so far.
Not interested in AC3.
Man I hate Uplay.
Do I really have to tell them EVERY time I'm not interested. Take the hint.
No means NO.
