I just wish you had more control of the horse, I always thought the horse controls felt really clunky. This also occasionally made actually getting to the Colossi a slightly frustrating experience. The camera was an occasional issue too.
That said I love how empty the world is; just how untouched it is. So serene, vast and elegantly minimalistic.
Also, the fact that you have to complete the game like 10 times to have enough stamina to climb the tower got pret...
The protagonists sound a lot like Walt and Jesse...
I'm just gonna go all in and say 2013 will be a good year for SE.
If all goes well we get Lightning Returns AND Versus XIII, both of which sound like really immense games.
However, at the VERY least I'm expecting Lightning Returns in 2013, and a solid 2014 release date for Versus.
If we get neither of those things in 2013, then I'll be pretty disappointed. But whatever, we're not entitled to this stuff, just let them do their ...
So cynical. THEY asked HIM a question, and he gave an answer. It's not like SE have made an unprompted announcement out of this.
These are the maniacs that shouldn't be allowed to play this game.
I mean what's the problem? Just be patient. Haven't you got anything else in your lives?
He makes the point of "clunky dialogue" as if it wasn't in the original. I really think the review should only focus on what the game lacks from the original, if anything. Not something that was once praised, or that didn't originally detract from the experience. The "repetitive combat" and "repetitive environments" points fall under this too, the latter being particularly nonsensical as the design of the environments is part of what makes the game's ...
I hate Image macros and I hate that obnoxious image macro font. Such lazy, homogenous humour. Most meme's suck too.
Rockstar already released all those screenshots on the game's website.
Hmmm so let's see, we've got Zhang Liao, Sun Shang Xiang, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, new guy (I think it's Yue Jin), Xiahou Dun, Zhao Yun, another new guy (not sure if he's Jin or Wei, probably Jin because they all have ludicrous weapons) and Dian Wei.
One problem though. They've definitely reused a lot of the weapon models from DW7. The graphics are a little better but I don't know...
The world of the first civilization from the game!
They amount of creative possibilities this would provide!
I'm gonna post this here, because I think it's relevant. I already posted it on another review which was an 8.5. (hence the quote)
"Assassin's Creed III builds strongly on the series but fails to take a giant leap of faith into any real new territory"
It's weird. A lot of people complain about high ratings like 8.5 / 10 merely because they're not 9 or 10 / 10. And I think that's partly to do with a game's expectations, li...

It's weird. A lot of people complain about high ratings like 8.5 / 10 merely because they're not 9 or 10 / 10. And I think that's partly to do with a game's expectations, like with how some games you just feel are going to be perfect scorers in advance of their release.
But when I read reviews like this, it mak...
Hmmmm, contradiction detected:
"it’s hard to really become absorbed in the landscape around you."
"There’s very little to the cities of Assassin’s Creed 3, however. It’s still possible to hire additional Assassins to send off on missions or call into battle, a plethora of collectables to locate and even side missions to complete but it never feels like a part of the game. Not really."
"The setting is a refreshing chan...
It's a pretty fair review. Have you read it?
The review makes good points. Deal with it.
@NathanExplosion: Oh so pirates and mercenaries are fair game are they? Like they're subhuman or something?
The point is in most games you play as a purportedly good guy who somehow has the capacity to murder hundreds of people. And they ARE people need I remind you.
The guys who made Brotherhood and Revelations though. They were a different team.
I mean I suppose it's a victory for the whole company, but the ACB and ACR guys have got to be a little bit envious that they weren't part of AC3's development.
"Assassins Creed 3 is by far the best installment of the franchise."
Jeez I wonder how the guys who made the Ezio trilogy feel...
@Rynocirator
So you don't like VII because Cloud's personality is in fact Zacks... I mean, is that not an interesting and profound plot point / character trait to you? Why should that detract from the game?
I mean, I don't understand how you can love Crisis Core and hate VII. They're part of the same story, not to mention there wouldn't be a Crisis Core if VII hadn't been made.
I'm also doubting your critical facu...
Dem Tizz, dem tights, dat bod, dat face, dat skin, dat hair, dat smile.
