OPM: Just before Assassin's Creed 3 came out we sat down to chat to director Alex Hutchinson about creating the next installment in the series, the newer elements of the game and the changes number three brings.
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.
*POSSIBLE SPOILERS*
You could have followed up on Ezio, by keeping Haytham as the main character and as an assassin. Haytham is interesting and witty, while Connor is a boring and drab.
Assassins Creed 3 is an amazing piece of tech and the I like the main protagonist. Its about time we had more "minorities" in pivotal, heroic roles and not just supporting, or comedic roles.
What I find a little unnerving is that Connor has been given much power and he seems almost childlike in the way in which he utilizes it.
I'm sure this will play into the story, but after 3 games with Ezio I was ready for ANY change.
its was really difficult to like connor for me since he wont accept the grey area of life it made him seem very childish and naive.
