At least they have a character arc though! Something not as cliché as "muh family" which is what we saw with EVERY assassin beforehand. Plus the naval combat gave a welcome change from follow this guy here and here without being seen.

disagree with that "muh family" bullshit.

Altair:
developed from an arrogant master assassin to a humiliated assassin with a point to prove back to a master assassin leaving truly by the creed
Ezio:
His family was murdered so of course its going to be about Family. But we also see the journey of a naive rich kid seeking revenge uncover something bigger and devote his life to his father's work before coming of age and truly believing in it all.
Connor:
Protecting his people from the invading white folk while a civil war plays out
Edward:
Fuck everyone around me and all the political turmoil of the british I want this treasure even though i have no clue what it is. well i ignored everyone and they mutinied on me poor me. fuck it lets get shit faced and hope everyone feels sorry for me. OH HANG ON A SEC, it was my fault better quickly sort my shit out no worries and its all good, look I even got the treasure i wanted. Black Flag has good gameplay but its a shit assassin's creed in terms of story

Arno:
A poor man's Ezio really. But is someone truly devoted to doing the right thing but not because of the Assassins. Feel like Ubisoft wanted Arno to kind of take over, but the fucked up modern day story ruined it, on top of a poor game.

Ezio is without doubt the best character the series has had, Altair second. Edward could have been #1, at the very least he would have been number 2 had they given him a second game and looked at what happened between he and his son that ended up leading to Hatham (i think that was his name?) switching sides and becoming not just a Templar but a Grand Templar. That would have probably pushed ACII as best game if they did it right, gotten us to London like a large section of the series had wanted for ages.

From 1-5 it goes
1. Ezio
2. Altair
3. Edward
4.Daylight
5. Arno/Connor (cant separate, both shit)
 
The characters who had more than one game to develop are the better ones? And the best one is the one who had three games? Shocking.
 
I will never understand the Amiboo craze. It's a stupid cash grab for physical DLC that can only be matched by those stupid Skylander dolls.

It's the same reason why a lot of people don't like Dynasty Warriors but love Kingdom Hearts (even though they're pretty similar): Nostalgic immunity.

Been playing a lot of Dota 2 recently, and it's fantastic. I much prefer it to LoL.
 
Really? I thought Dynasty Warriors attracted a lot of hate from the hardcore side of the gaming community. Not on the same scale as CoD, but still a fair amount.

I lump them together mainly for their similar atmosphere; both of which are OTT but enjoyable.

They get hate because it's a button masher with a niche community.

While the tying in with historical events was interesting, Christ, I am bored with Assassin's Creed III already and I am only just back at the Davenport manor after visiting Boston...

Yeah AC3 is a bit shit. Not the worst AC game I played (that's 1), but not as good as any of the games in the Ezio trilogy.

I've still not started 2. 1 bored me so much.

The improvement from 1 to 2 is probably one of the sharpest improvements from game to game. 2 is like an B+. 1 is like a D.
 
Having hated AC2, I shudder at the thought of how much I'd hate the other games.

Dammit now the repressed memories of that game are coming back.. Better play some rocket league to drown my sorrows.
 
Pokken tournament, a fighting game using Pokemon characters. Was originally supposed to be a Japanese arcade exclusive. Produced by Namco Bandai (Or Bandai namco, whatever they're going with this week) it will also be the style of tekken.

The areas really are too big but with nothing much in them of importance. I don't want to hunt or fulfil side quests that get you very little. Tie more of the early stuff into the main story.

Also what kind of a name choice was Connor? No doubt it meant something to Achilles but after saying that Connor's mixed heritage could see him pass for an Italian or Hispanic, he gives him an Irish name.

On top of all that, Connor is devastatingly uninteresting - the cookie cutter starry-eyed youngster with no personality. I would much rather have stayed with Kenway as the main character, gradually starting to doubt the Templar approach, perhaps due to the brutality of the job, of Lee and their British and American allies.
 


It's coming to WiiU!


Hate to rain on a Pokemon parade (I do really like Pokemon), but that game looks shitty. It looks like it's a cool concept that didn't pan out great.

I hope I'm wrong though.

The frontier bullshit is the worst. It takes forever to get anywhere, there are few landmarks to make navigation easy, and you're going to think that you're headed in the right direction and find out that there's a giant cliff, a river, and a nearly impassable hill between you and your destination.

Connor is a boring character, but he has a few more personality traits than you give him credit for. He's fiercely loyal to his tribe and holds onto a grudge like his life depends on it.

I know AC3 is kinda shitty, but stick with it. When you finish the main storyline you get to play Boccie with George Washington.
 
Haven't watched the trailer yet, but that looks like a match made in heaven.

In other news, I've upgraded my graphics card for the next generation. I've changed from a crappy AMD 5400 or something to a GeForce GTX 750 Ti. I've only tested it with Dirty Bomb (a game that did run quite choppily), and it works splendidly.
 
I actually enjoyed AC1 somewhat at the time. I actually can't remember that much about it but remember liking it at the time. 2 and Brotherhood are waiting on my shelf. Probably play them after I finish Ninja Gaiden 3 and Z
