Slant Magazine: "The game is astonishingly dedicated to ruining the series' fiction, wasting as much of the player's time as possible."
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.
Well, I bit the bullet and gave the story a hit, since I don't believe it should necessarily be considered flamebait to write a harsh review on a well-known game.
Now, the review does seem extremely odd to me. It's not just the styling that smushes everything into 1 paragraph or the writer's inability to predict proper punctuation. He has a strange contrast between having a decent lyrical style and not knowing how to handle it; I have no idea why. It is more in line that the review is more of a constant, almost detached berating of the game with little argument inside. In clarity, most of the points illustrated boil down to: "This isn't the old Assassin's Creed lore. What's this new thing?"
Such as this one: "It isn't much of a spoiler for me to reveal that the first few hours of the game center around an entirely different (and irrelevant) protagonist" - Because Desmond is somehow not that in the previous games?
Or the stark contrast it has between calling the game too short and then saying: "Assassin's Creed III is encumbered with an abundance of horrible, boring side quests that exist only to waste the player's time. Most of these are lifted from previous games, where the collectibles, territory acquisition, Brotherhood recruiting, and so on were naturally implemented instead of forced" - While implying earlier that Relevations does somehow NOT do the same. It has a tower defense element and micromanagement system, of all things.
Calling for the naval battles to have their own dedicated game was the final nail. Though if I can assume this is meant as a non-dedicated AssCreed game, then perhaps. But it would be weird to have an AssCreed title to a game that has very little of both words, no?
I just hope they change the site style though. That spacing is terrible. Well, inexistent, but that is quite bad.
Trolls gotta troll
well its not the best one of the series but also its not a 1/5 , just had to be ''that site''
Under the words "read full review" at the top of the page, is the name of the website, click on that, then give it a "WTF" and "No" for "story quality" and "liked this website?" vote it down people, it's just trolling for hits.
AC3 isnt a goty or the greatest game ever... but giving a 1/5 is just dumb.
Anyway, its juste another obscure/unkown website provin that we shouldnt give too much attention to these websites...
