Lucas, like many other gamers out there, has a list of games that he wants to love but just can’t stomach up the will to do so. He tells us his top 5 games that no matter how hard he tries he just can’t like as much as everyone else. Are any of them on your list?
As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.
Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.
And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.
I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.
Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.
Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.
You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.
The controls felt very clunky to me, I tried playing it after beating Darksouls 3 and it didn’t feel fluid, obviously the hit detection is less superior for been an older game.
Assassin's Creed has been hard done by in the past several years despite its success, and as messy as it could be, it might be time for a reboot.
They already did that in 2017 with origins. I don’t think a reboot is on the cards when Ubisoft is about to go down under lol
I hope the splinter cell remake sees the light of day before the company closes
I doubt they'll be closing, but they are primed to be eaten up by a bigger comp. Also 2017 was nearly a decade ago, it could use another reboot or rather it should just be retired.
Origins was the reboot.
But that also alienated the original AC lovers, abit. Not everybody adores the perma-change of the IP to be vast RPGs.
What I instead propose is, alternate between Valhalla/Shadows type AC RPGs and Mirage/ACII like non-RPG releases.
What is old might feel new again. A new splinter cell with semi open levels but still having a linear structure (not just one giant open world) that have multiple paths to complete the objective but still have stealth be the main priority would feel fresh, especially with modern graphics and military gadgets .
I agree, from anecdotal evidence, all franchises eventually stagnate, it might be a good time to start something new.
"it might be time for a reboot." No it might be time to put this shit to rest for a few yrs. A good 4-5 then come back.
Total franchise reboot. This ac game is basically the hail Mary to keep Ubisoft alive if this fails the share price will be so low they will be forced to sell and likely absorbed into another org as the Ubisoft name carries almost no weight.
Don't get me wrong they will end up selling after ac regardless but it will be the difference of getting the deal they want vs the deal they don't
With many wondering what route the franchise should take next, Assassin's Creed should finally visit the Wild West era.
Tell me how that's going to be significantly different than colonial America. AC is about showcasing different cultures throughout history. They already did Native Americans in AC3, so then just cowboys, outlaws, ranchers, etc? Kinda feel like there's already a game out there that does that really freaking well. Hmmm, maybe the one in the thumbnail?

Don't feel bad about Saints Row The Third
That game was ass!
RTS is most of the time anal with micromanaging stuff. I can really enjoy an RTS if done right, but it's def not a genre for everyone
Dark Souls ... yeah, I think everyone should AT LEAST try it. If you don't well, thats completely understandable.
For me personally, I want to like Shadow of The Colossus. I beat the game twice, I just dont get it. Gameplay is very mediocre, story depends on what you make of it, ending is rather weak, characters not fleshed out one bit, world is huge with nothing in it. Colossi are cool, but extremely underwhelming. Never died once and beat them real easy =/
I really tried to like Lone Survivor but i just couldn't get into it.
The World Ends With You was another game that everybody recommend for me since i was suffering from buyers remorse with the disappointing DS, but again i couldn't get into it.
Feel the say way with RTS.
I'm gonna go with Titanfall. The foundation is there for something really good but overall the game is very mediocre. Incredibly fun for a week or so then it's back to battlefield. I should enjoy this game because it is CoD without the bulls$&t but it just does not have the content to keep me coming back.
I should also enjoy Killzone SF but I feel like the game is half the game Killzone 3 was and certainly not on the level of KZ2.
