Much better!

Graphics and gameplay look great!

I can't wait for Assassin's Creed!

wildcat6198d ago (Edited 6198d ago )

But after seeing this, my anticipation has rekindled. They got rid of the blue hazy effect, or maybe it's just a morning effect; either way the game is looking really good. The visuals is just the icing though.

I like how the gameplay is set around the crowd and character animations and AI, and how everything in the environment is traversable. The story line behind it is also very interesting and is supposed to have an open-endedness to it. This just might be THE next-gen multi-platform game of 07, along with GTA IV.

Did a soldier just throw a rock at him? Who throws a rock at a guy on a horse with a sword?? Thats funny...

Anyway, this game looks fun. It has had some negative press lately but I think, in the end, it will be worth a purchase...

Dr Pepper6198d ago

It got negative press? I don't see what there is to complain about unless it's about delays or something along those lines...

I definitely think it will be worth a purchase, it's looking really good.

TheExecutive6198d ago

yeah there was some... but its gonna be a good game...

BTW we dr pepper fans must stick together!

Vfor56198d ago

i don't like the way they move. its like its pre animations. it doesn't flow from him jumping and landing. but, looks interesting none the less.

Dr Pepper6198d ago (Edited 6198d ago )

Well, that's interesting that there was some.
and I agree, Dr Pepper is AWESOME...it makes the world taste better

but they never use that slogan anymore : (

@Vfor5
well, they are still working on it and improving certain issues, we'll have to wait and see!

TheExecutive6198d ago

Vfor5... I guess it does kinda look a little suspect, but I guess i am a lot more leniant on that kind of stuff because it is a video game. After all, why would someone leap on beams when they could simply walk on the ground?

Dr Pepper6198d ago (Edited 6198d ago )

Because he's a badass!

sorry, just had to

Vfor56198d ago

he has a blade for his ring ringer. hes totally badass.

Can We Finally Admit Assassin's Creed 3 Deserves an Apology?

AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.

Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4

Samonuske212d ago

The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.

Becuzisaid212d ago

No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.

-Foxtrot212d ago

Nope

There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war

They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided

They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back

I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.

Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.

Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience

Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.

toxic-inferno212d ago

The game even seems to lack the humour of the other games. It almost seems as though the idea of even slightly making fun of American history wouldn't be acceptable.

-Foxtrot212d ago

Exactly

It just felt super safe

“Better not make the colonists look super bad incase people boycott our game”

jeromeface211d ago

someone missed the whole point

-Foxtrot211d ago

There was literally no point

What I've just said above would at least make sense lore wise and why the Assassins start to loose their war, die off and how the Templars are in control in the future of almost everything....what they did was just, pointless

CrimsonWing69212d ago

I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.

GhostScholar223d ago (Edited 223d ago )

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake223d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga223d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx223d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga222d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9223d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler223d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666223d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52223d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott222d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52222d ago (Edited 222d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara212d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher223d ago (Edited 223d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52223d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner222d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52222d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster223d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot223d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster222d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned223d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9223d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1223d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake223d ago (Edited 223d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster222d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.
