It was an extremely fun game, until you got the counter move. Then the combat was too easy and battles were won almost solely by evasion tactics. Blah. The game got easy, but it spiced things up to do the assassinations in non-coventional ways.

The end twist was ghey.

I fucking hated that game.
It was the same old bullshit every time you go to kill someone. Find a messenger, do some stupid shit for a ninja, pick pocket or beat someone up…every time. Yes the graphics were awesome and you could run everywhere, but after the first 3-4 kills the gameplay was lacking. Maybe I’m just a complete fuck stick but my kills never went right. I also ended up just fighting 30 dudes and running away.
I don’t care how ‘visually stimulating’ a game is, if the gameplay sucks, the game sucks.
That brings me to another point, people who think good graphics are a redeeming quality for shitty games. Give me a fucking break, if I wanted to see shit that almost looks real I’ll go watch a movie. I want to be engaged in the game, not just stare at how pretty it is for three hours. Gameplay > graphics.

I agree that graphics should in no way redeem a game for shitty gameplay, HOWEVER…with respect to Assassin’s Creed, what was pretty refreshing was the control system - though I felt it could have been more elegant - and the concept. Yes, the graphics were good, but it was interesting to see how they crammed so much control using modifier button pushes.
Personally, I felt like I needed the manual every time I played the game. It was way too complicated to control, but in no way does it touch my love for the Prince of Persia franchise.

I hope it’s as good as the first, that was a very good game.[/quote]
UGH. It’s getting bad reviews, it’s said to be buggy.
Re: Assasins Creed, the graphics were good but it felt dry.
I traded it toward GTA 4 before I finished.

I don’t understand the hatred for this game.
There are different types of players. There are shooters, adventurers and puzzle solvers. Which one are you?
I hate shooting games. There is nothing more boring or a bigger waste of time to me than walking around a Virtual Reality jungle or futuristic landscape simply shooting st whatever pops up.
I like free roaming games, myths, legends and puzzles. That is why I like God of War so much and why I first got into Tomb Raider.
This game sets you in a time period and has you go around killing people who actually died back then under suspicious circumstances. The environment clearly has to be one of the biggest draws since the entire premise is based on the theory of Genetic Memory meaning it may be possible to experience times we never actually lived in based on our ancestors living at that time.
How can you not like that concept?
I can understand it getting repetitive as far as how you kill people, but I don’t think that is the main focus of the game. Theoretical Mental Time Travel is.
I can’t even really get into GTA IV because the “missions” are boring and the landscape isn’t fast paced or interesting enough and the characters seem flat to me.
Side note:
I am pissed about the new PoP game. I hate that ‘illustrated look’ and have no clue why they went that route.
Should’ve tried to use the Unreal 3 engine (look at Gears 2!) or whatever it was they used to make Bioshock.
I like adventure games, too. Takes way more creativity to build a good adventure that is pushed forward by a memorable storyline.
This is why I think Shigeru Miyamoto is the god father of modern gaming. We should all kiss the ground he walks on.

Don’t get me wrong X, I don’t have a gripe with the concept. I think it’s awesome, and I was glued to the cut scenes to learn more, but like I said, I’m a gameplay gamer.
I like anything that holds me and I can get lost for hours playing it. There are only so many times were I’ll beat someone up, pickpocket someone, ask a ninja, and spy before I say screw it.
With that story line and the level of detail they put in, they could have made the greatest damn game of the century, and it still might be, but I didn’t get into it.
I guess it was the repetitiveness that killed it for me. I had such a good time the first few missions, but pretty soon I knew I was doing the same thing every time, just maybe in a different city.
However I am not ashamed to admit that I did walk through crowds in real life and try to push my way through gently just like in the game.
But really what kind of games I’m into, its either FPS or RPG, anything I can waste hours of my life on and not be bored.
I wonder if Microsoft can pull of a 360 (hell, even an Xbox 1) handheld…that would be sweet.
The sad thing is, battery technology never evolves at even a fraction of the pace of GPU and CPU processing power.
Nevermind that the 360 as is produces too much heat and has an external power supply. Not sure how they’d do it with a portable.
I know for storage, once SSDs became cheap (read: ~ 3 years), it would make a lot of sense to ‘sync’ games off some device that rips the media disc, or perhaps a subscription service like Steam to download games and put them on the portable’s 200+ GB internal drive.
I don’t see it happening anytime soon unless the laws of physics change like a menstruating teenager’s mood.
Assassins creed is a pretty sick game.
Do any of you guys ever download any of the game demos on your PSP or DS?
I’ve had my DS for over 2 years and have never downloaded a single demo, same with my PSP, that I’ve had for 6 months.

Hey I finally finished Invincible.
Its funny that you say that. MGS4 has to Load between acts and it gives disclamers about smoking and stuff and depending on how long you have been playing its like…
You have been playing for 9 hrs. Dont you think it time for a break?
I thought it was funny.[/quote]
That’d be thje director trolling your ass.
Like the “Snake, its time to put in Disk 2!” “But this is a bluray DVD! There is no need!” Bit.
I thought Assassin’s Creed was decent. The gameplay was really fun in the beginning (I liked how they implemented the parkour aspect of it) but got REALLY repetitive.
I also didn’t like the way they structured the story with the ‘Animus.’ I felt it could have been handled better. What they did in Assassin’s Creed with the “plot twist” would be akin to the Sixth Sense telling you Bruce Willis was dead in the first five minutes.
Still thought it was a pretty good game though.
Might have to check out the PS3, but damn man I need a price drop.
Btw, does anyone know if they’re still releasing models with PS1/PS2 backwards compatibility?

I have my DVR set to record it, so don’t spoil anything yet.
Does anyone else watch The Sarah Connor Chronicles? I liked the premier last night.

Come on when have I ever spoiled anything? But my thoughts are as follows:
I thought the premises for the show was a really good one and as crazy as some of the shit seems I would not be the least bit surprised if our government did have some type of Fringe program.
The guy who played Denithor in Lord of the Rings is in it and does a GREAT JOB!
The chick who plays the lead is fine as shit!!
I plan to follow this show…i havent done that sense DBZ if that says anything
Does anyone remember the name of that show with the billionaire friends who go golfing and out for cocktails together?
It had Chris Titus and a few other famous guys. I caught a few episodes and thought it was hilarious, but I forget what it’s called.
I’ve always wanted to see pushing daisies because it seems to Tim Burton-esque. Never caught it but have heard great things.
