The timing with the election is pretty good. I didn't even think about it that way at first.

Aside from the bugs/glitches and a wonky camera, I'm actually enjoying AC3. Love just exploring the little side missions in the frontier.

LouisGarcia4174d ago

I've never had an interest in these games until this title. As a fan of American history it's right up my alley.

roblef4174d ago

The academic review sounds like a fan wrote it.

iamnsuperman4174d ago

I was disappointed she isn't a history academic but a film and digital media academic which explains the response. Would be interesting to hear what a historian thinks of the game

so... a critic, an analyst, and an academic walk into a bar....

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.

Killer2020UK272d ago

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

Rimeskeem271d 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.

mastershredder271d ago (Edited 271d 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_188271d 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.

RPGer271d ago

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

'Assassin’s Creed III': Ten Years Later

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

Popsicle546d ago (Edited 546d 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.
