Its not just uniformed gamers buying Assassins Creed, there are millions of gamers out there who are informed to the point that they dont need to be preached to by a rabid core of gamers who are never satisfied and thrive on negativity and the latest hate campaign.
I have been gaming for 30 years and I know my own likes and dislikes and I also know an internet witch hunt when I see one.
I am someone who enjoys AC games and who is currently having a blast with...
As someone who occasionally considers picking up a second console I have been more tempted by Nintendo's machine than Microsofts.
I have PS4 for multiplatform stuff so its just the exclusives I am interested in and the Wii U has som crackers now, on top of the Wii games I would like to play (Mario Galaxy etc). So far only Sunset Overdrive makes me want a XB1.
My problem is that I have never liked owning multiple consoles, I always end up feeling like one...
As good as that bundle is, its still not enough to make me purchase.
I would still look to play the 3rd party stuff on PS4 so I would need more of the exclusives to tempt me, in particular, Sunset Overdrive, as this is the one game I feel I am missing out on.
If I hadnt already purchased a current gen console then this bundle would really make me question which console to buy, its pretty spectacular for people who are new to this gen.
As someone...
Yup, thos imaginary PS4's can be difficult to find, let alone switch on.
Like many other, you are sorely misinformed if you think MS have the cash to keep taking a loss on their console.
They are a single division of a huge corporation and as a division they have to justify their spending and losses to a board of directors who are concerned with profitability of the corporation as a whole.
These directors consist, for the most part, of business people who see the xb division as a side line compared to the vast profits made in thei...
Oh look, another self proclaimed journalist who decides to write negative articles about games he didnt like instead of positive articles about games he does like.
Luckily, I like to make my own mind up and I tried it myself and guess what, as a gamer who likes AC games, this one is a corker.
Pointless article, who cares about your negativity towards a games series. I tell you what, instead of writing a negative article, write a positive one about a game you do like.
Honestly, games "journalism is going down the same negative, miserable alley as mainstream media where all we see are the bad, cruel and miserable stories. Is this what we want for an industry that provides so much enjoyment, happiness and fun?
I know this statement was labelled as 'banter', but I really dont like it when industry people make statements like this, there are enough of these comments being spewed from the keyboards of fanboys the world over without the devs joining in.
Cannot wait for this, great studio producing a great looking, story driven game.....this is going to be awesome!
I broadly agree with your opinion, I think most gamers buy the game anyway and like me, are having a great time with it too.
Like you, I find the levels of negativity and lack of appreciation aimed at developers to be really frustrating. The internet has so many positive aspects, but the way a large portion of the population choose to behave and treat each other really depresses me.
To Ubisoft, I say thankyou - Rayman, Child of Light, Valiant Hearts, Watchdo...
I have played for around 9 hours on PS4 and have really enjoyed it. I havent had any real issues with performance, it has been more than playable and looks fabulous.
If there are any AC fans out there who are being put off by the hate campaign I would urge you to try for yourself, I was nervous following the shitstorm on the internet but in respect of PS4, the issues have been blown out of proportion.
It would be fab if it ran at 60fps of course, but the gam...
Ignore the witch hunts, if you like assassins creed you will love this game.
I have played about 6 hours and so far I have had no real issues with frame rates, sure it isnt 60fps but it is still really great to play.
I dont like to call people out but this is absolute nonsense, I have never seen a game with so much to do on the map.....this game is humongous!
Damn I really want to play this game, but this month is so full of games I want to play. I am just starting Assassins Creed (despite what others say, I really like the series so am excited for this) and have LBP3 pre ordered. Then there is The Crew, Dragon Age and Far Cry that I am itching go play.
Such a shame there are no games for me to enjoy on PS4.....oh wait! Just a joke by the way :)
As for the gif, I think it looks ace and I am excited to try 1st pe...
I value my own opinion much more than this wanna be, second rate reviewer.
The game has one or two issues but was a bloomin cracker overall, I would urge people to discount this guys opinion and make your own mind up, just like the thousands of others who played and enjoyed the game.
Fun article with some cool ideas, I particularly like the idea of China or Japan as a location.
I always liked the idea of a victorian era London personally. Love me some Assassins Creed :)
This has really was an under appreciated title at the time of release but a game that I adored and played through several times.
For me it was a great example of why I love Playstation, games like this add so much flavour and variety and compliment the more mainstream titles. Japan still has plenty to offer when it comes to originality, quirkiness and character they really know how to deliver.
Mighty tempted to try this again on PC, bet it will look amazing...
Another day another opinion piece based on a flawed arguments from a self entitled wannabe journalist. I am getting more and more frustrated with these opinion pieces, they are mostly irrelevant, usually basesless and often poorly written and merely serve to propogate negativity where it is totally unwarranted.
Dont we want to talk about games in a positive way, they are an entertainment medium that I assume you care about if you are here on this site. Why are we putting up...
I would love to see a time when all online interactions are made using your real name and more prosecutions, or at least a loss of internet access is imposed if you are making death threats, racsist attacks and so on.
While dirtbags are able to hide behind a username and face no repercussions for this kind of behaviour things will never change.
As for the game, I really enjoyed the campaign this year and feel like the online is better that it has been for ye...
All the cool stuff mentioned above and also a new Hot Shots Golf if we are lucky :)
