Ass Creed III

[Krab Nicholson]

combat sucks ass because it's ridiculously easy. Isn't a good game when I have to start handicapping myself to have fun. I can take on 30 men. unarmed. and still win. that's not fun.

What bothers me is that after you've dropped like half of them, the rest turn and run like bitches. THAT is not fun at all.

What isn't fun if that you CAN drop half of them. No one in the game is of any challenge what so ever. Take that final fight with Ceasre Borgia. He was built up as being equal to Ezio in every way. In the final fight I slapped the shit out of him. Unarmed. He never touched me.

Not necessarily

Self-imposed handicaps have long since been giving games that were fun once around but didn't require a second playthrough a longer play life

[Jack Napier]

I wasn't referring to secondary play arounds. Now was I? I wasn't speaking of bitches beating Final Fantasy using only white mages on the second time around. I was referring to say you played Final Fantasy the first time with the normal party set up and you dominated EVERYTHING and the only way you stood a chance of losing you had to use all white mages. Changes the meaning a bit don't it?

Okay jeez, no need to get all hostile, jeez. Jeez!

I have to agree, to be honest. Its a good thing that the combat is largely optional and I can just climb and run around on rooftops all day. I like to see how much of the game I can play without ever being noticed, like dropping in on four guards and killing all of them before they can react with my assassins blade skillzzZZzzzMLGzzxxxx

I'm different in that I like to be challenged. To at least feel there is some danger. Like in DMC3. Vergil was a really cool fucking boss fight. He was always great. He honestly felt like Dante's equal and he fought just as well as Dante. If not better. Same with the Dante fight in DMC4. I enjoy fights where it feels like you're battling another human. But in the AC games I can just grab a guard. Slit his throat. Grab a guard. Slit his throat. Rinse and repeat until you win. That's not a good combat system. And what pisses me off is that they just keep making it easier. Adding in kill streaks. Now I have to counter ONCE and I win the battle against 40 men. Are you fucking kidding me? I honestly don't see how the Assassin's are losing this war when they have men who can literally take on hundreds of Templars unarmed and win. Make no mistake. I think the games are kinda fun and enjoyable. But from an actual game play perspective. These are horrible horrible unfullfilling games.

Assassins Creed 1 was trash, couldn't bother to beat it.

Assassins Creed 2, I was really enjoying myself for the first half of it, but the second half made me really bored.

Assassisn Creed Brotherhood was the biggest snoozefest ever created. Skipped every cutscene and could only play half hour at a time.

Never played Revalations.

For some reason, I'm still pumped for this game. I'm really hoping it delivers what the other games couldn't for me, but we'll have to see.

AC1 is the only good one. For one reason. Templars. It's the only thing in the games I actually really enjoyed. 50 Templars scattered through out the world who were the absolute best of the best. I enjoyed going into cities and just walking around for hours. Hunting them. Trying to find them. Maybe it's my sadistic side but I really really enjoy having specific targets to hunt down and kill. Killing random faceless guards bores me. But give the target a name and a face and a quantity. Now we're having fun.

^agreed. One was definitely my favourite.
