I disagree with two of these "truths". But Desmond really is boring.

iamnsuperman4177d ago

Desmond had to be boring though. Who wants to play a game where the fun parts are the small segments in the modern day. Desmond's role is to drive the modern over arching story forward and he does that quite well (still a terrible undeveloped character though). I found the Desmond missions in AC3 pretty cool.

I also agree with you about the two other "truths"

Italian setting was my fav by miles, American revolution setting is the worst one so far.

Grap4177d ago

i don't know about that. but the mission in ACIII was meh not like AC2 or AC1.

iamnsuperman4177d ago (Edited 4177d ago )

I actually do not think the American revolution had much more potential ( I do love how they show the hyprocrisy on the revolutionaries. Risky but payed off very well). I think they did very well with a setting that doesn't suit the AC universe. The urban areas were not dense which removed a key free running feature the AC universe has always had. It would have been better to have the Cival war over the American Revolution but still not great.

sadly Conner's story wasn't very interesting he seemed more like a lapdog in his own story unlike ezio or Altair who drove their storys maybe it will be fleshed out later with dlc.

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.

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

Rimeskeem264d ago

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.

mastershredder264d ago (Edited 264d 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_188264d 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.

RPGer264d ago

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

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.
