The rest of 2012 is filled with a ton of huge gaming releases like Halo 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Dishonored, Assassin’s Creed 3, and Resident Evil 6, but what are the three busiest days that will take all of your money?
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
A replica of Most Wanted’s famed M3 GTR is on display at the BMW Welt exhibition until 6th January.
The YouTuber NostalgiaNexus is working on a Need for Speed: Most Wanted remake in Unreal Engine 5, featuring improved textures and police AI.
Wish Ea would connect with Nostalgia nexus create Fan loved Mostwanted instead of online multi-player crap been out since 2012
i wish i had enough money to buy all the games i want
Wow there is a lot going on for the rest of the year, good games there, as well as console launches. (counting the PS3 slim slim)
my main games are Black Ops 2, Far-cry 3, Metro Last Light, Dead Space 3, Last Of Us also getting a WiiU with that gonna get ZombiU also plan on getting the new PS3 Super Slim.
I expect a significant drop in my grades after October 30. AC3 and Libertion will take up all of my time both at home and anywhere else.
