Hot Heart Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hehe. WUBWUBWUBWUB. Taking Liara along in ME3 is a recipe for destruction. Singularity + Shockwave sends people flying, Singularity + Charge makes them superdead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Just finished Journey. Short, probably under 2 hours, but it might be the most beautiful game I've ever played. This. Although, not convinced it's the most beautiful game I've ever played, but it's definitely up there. Extremely pretty and well designed. Need to replay it, will probably appreciate it more. Amazing that it's only two hours, so 'replaying it', unlike with other games, is not some massive undertaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Journey. Enjoyed it though. Played through the whole thing with some random dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I'm breaking up the ME3/Journey love-in with the exciting news I've finished Fable III. I enjoyed it more than people led me to believe I would though I think it was even more glitchy than the second. I'll be moving on to another bang up to date title next: AC: Brotherhood.

TheMightyEthan Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Oooh, Brotherhood was my favorite Assassin's Creed so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 AC Brotherhood is definitely the best of the AC series. I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Yeah it approves upon almost everything from the AC2. Plus it didn't have tower defense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Yeah it approves upon almost everything from the AC2. Plus it didn't have tower defense! It improves upon nothing. It made most of it worse. More shit=/=useful shit. Anyways, got the evil ending in Infamous 2. Paradoxes, etc. Edited March 12, 2012 by Faiblesse Des Sens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 How did it make stuff worse? It's been too long since I played it to cite examples, but I remember my impression being that it improved almost everything from AC2.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Everything added was half-assed, the combat was once again made too easy, the city wasn't nearly as well put together as any of the regions from AC2, story wasn't as good, etc. It's very, very obvious that it was developed in under a year by a different team.

TheMightyEthan Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I don't even remember there being that much added in terms of play mechanics, I thought it was mostly just a refinement of the stuff from AC2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 When's the last time you played it and how critically did you look at it? You sound like IGN, except you're not in Ubi's pocket. Do you think that releasing the game in under a year with a sub-prime team really didn't effect the quality of the title?

The story was on par with anything else Assassin's Creed has done. How exactly was the city not put well together? The combat is fine. EDIT: Fuck it, I'm not getting into it with you.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Is there a way to search my own posts for when I talk about AC? I've typed up all of this shit before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I think there's a way to do it from your profile, but I'm not sure how. Anyway, I don't think I've played it since shortly after release, but I did write a review for PXOD (which now that I re-read it I can't help but feel the beginning of the review is absolutely terrible).

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 "The singleplayer campaign is rich and full." Just getting that far I disagree. I found the campaign to be dull, rushed feeling, and empty of anything worthwhile. Sure, there's content, but it's akin to checking things off a to-do list rather than anything relevant.

madbassman39 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I just finished Assassins Creed Brotherhood. I really enjoyed it. I felt that the combat, while mostly unchanged, felt a bit more dynamic this time around. I didn't particularly care for Rome as much as I did any of the cities in AC2, but overall I thought it was a good game. I know people say to skip Revelations, but I think I might pick it up after I beat a few other games that I have in my queue of games to finish. I'm not looking for anything groundbreaking and will probably be satisfied with more of the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I wouldn't recommend skipping Revelations just because it's all part of the story, but it's definitely a step down from Brotherhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I don't know if I'd say it's a step down.... It's just more of the same. The RTS stuff is terrible, but after the tutorial, you don't have to do it again. The ending even had a manly tear roll down my face (just kidding, I don't cry). My advice: give a couple months break between Brotherhood and Revelations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbassman39 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 My advice: give a couple months break between Brotherhood and Revelations. I learned this when I just beat AC2, and my brother got me AC Brotherhood right afterwards. I just got burnt out to quickly. I'm going to wait a few months, catch up on some other games to finish.

TheMightyEthan Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Revelations is a step down because there's none of the side stuff that previous games have had. There's like 4 or 5 side missions, and that's it. The game just feels rushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 If you don't like any of the side stuff then don't do it, no one's forcing you. And you might have a point if it had resulted in more focus on and improvements to the main campaign, but it didn't, the main bit of the game is comparable to Brotherhood.

TCP Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Just beat Mass Effect 3. Actually really enjoyed the ending. Might take a break and play some PSN titles for the next few weeks. I do have Resistance 3 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution to play through, but neither of those are drawing me in at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Forgot to post here but I also beat Mass Effect 3 a few days ago. Ending was disappointing but nowhere near as terrible as everyone on the internet made it out to be. Overall the game was still a damn fun 30+ hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
