gamrReview's Matt Asbaugh: "Nintendo waited until the very day after Apple announced their new iOS and the iPhone 5 so that most major news focused on that instead of them. Good job, Nintendo. No, seriously, thumbs up on that excellent decision. You get a cookie. Shove it in your mouth so the sugar jumpstarts your brain a bit, you freaking dumbasses."
IGN - Assassin's Creed's focus on character-driven storytelling has been buried by its RPG sandbox features, and the series is weaker for it.
A rare W opinion piece from IGN.
IMO, Ubisoft needs to setup two primary AC dev teams. 1 would focus on and release character-driven OG-style AC games for OG fans and the other would continue the current RPG-ified AC style for current fans.
Release by them Bi-annually and alternatively. There'd less fatigue and a boost to quality.
I definitely appreciate 3 more after playing it again in recent years along with the Liberation game. Back when 3 was new I was still riding high on AC2 and Brotherhood so when I played 3 I felt a bit let down. Even the ship battles grew on me.
AC2 - Yes
AC3 - Urm...I don't know
I feel they kind of dropped the ball with AC3 and with the way the story went it just didn't make sense to me at all. I felt it would have made more sense lore wise if they had it so the Red Coats were mostly Assassins and the Templars were mostly the Colonists who wanted this "new world" as a fresh start for their operations, to build a country up they'd have full control of from the start so they manufacture the war as something else while really it's just a front for the Templars vs Assassins.
It just meant that since the Red coats lose the war it explains how the Templars have gained full control of future America and how the Assassins have slowly died out by then. This entire event would have been the turning point of how things went to s**t for the Assassins and how there's not many of them left in the present.
Haythem was a lot more interesting than Connor and he should have been the main Assassin of AC3.
I thought AC2 was the greatest of the series and it is but replaying it recently, I stared to see more flaws in the game. Basically every single mission is an assassination besides a few tailing missions lol. Still, the implementation of all the new mechanics were great. The smoke bombs, disarming guards, story, hidden tombs, swimming, flying machine, multiple locations, etc. it definitely felt a bit more special to me at the time of release though
Dunno about 3, the 1st act was cool, then i couldn't tell you what happens after that. But 2 was so good! The entire acts 1-3 were al memorable, whereas i really couldn't even tell you what happens in any other AC game
Relive the glory days of Wii.
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.
Funny i thought this was gonna b another tedious anti wii u article but infact its the exact opposite.
All i know is im (probably) only going to live once so while im here im goin to enjoy myself and buy what seems fun so yes ive preordered a wii u with zombie u and assassins creed 3! cant bloody wait!
I am waiting for Assassins Creed 3 for Wii U, for a couple of reasons. One it will be In 1080p on Wii U and two the no pause weapons switching. So HOPEFULLY it will be better than the other versions. I will also say I am very happy that the fanboys that were talking smack two months ago saying the Wii U could not do games like that in 1080p have finally shut up. Wii U people took crap for way too long now the fanboys have been proven wrong. Even though they argued and treated us like crap. Now it is them who have been TREATED! :)
Why the @#$% would you preorder a wii u? Because you want one. BOOM. DONE.
Because you WANT a WiiU
This was a fantastic read with some excellent points. Now if everyone people would remove there heads from there asses and stop complaining we could finally move along.
