Anyone waiting for Assassin's Creed: Revelations?

[Gornot]

You know, the first thing I remember about Brotherhood is that using the map on the PC version is hell xD
Quite clearly, the game was more oriented towards consoles than the PC (at least in the terms of the controls), but just like the Witcher 2, it ended up being good, if not just a tad bit annoying. In Brotherhood the map, in the Witcher 2, the inventory mess. But hey, they are still epic games

Not exactly the first thing but for me, it was definitely the most anoying thing in Brotherhood.

As for The Witcher 2, I bought it two weeks ago but haven't gotten around to playing it. Hopefully, it's as good as they say.

 

[Gornot]

It's good, but even better than people say, and then some. Trust me, you should play it. Like, right f-ing now xD

I might. I'm half way through Portal and though it's the most boring game I've ever played, I really want to finish it. Not sure why. :sarc:

 

[Gornot]

Portal? 1 or 2?

 

[JaidynM]

The first one.

 

[Gornot]

Yeah, well, the first game wasn't meant to be takes as a stand-alone game, but as a part of the Orange Box. P2 is much more hilarious and interesting, but the first game gets you into the swing of things

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: OMG yes yes yes, I'm waiting for this like crazy, I just finished Brotherhood 3 weeks ago, I want to know what happens, even tho that final scene was weird and uncalled for and makes no sense...

It was like I was watching fringe out of the blue, but I still am hyped as hell for this game, I played the last one on the good old (emphasis on Old) PS3, gonna get it on PC this time around

Well, most of my friends agree. They've said the first one is good to ease you into the gameplay of Portal but beyond that, it's not the most entertaining game.

Lol, same. I hope Lucy's alright.

Don't. Just... Don't. Ubisoft's DRM and re-allocated controls make the game clearly more console-oriented. You won't gain much better experience on the PC. Save your money for other good games coming this year

Oh, and BTW, you may not notice, but I'm hyped as hell too xDDD

Personally, I think PC games are superior to consoles, full stop. That's mainly because I absolutely suck at using a controller and find a keyboard and mouse much easier.

 

[Gornot]

Some games, especially console ports, are impossible to play without a controller, but I know exactly how you feel. Nothing beats KB+M, even for FPSs. Assassin's Creed is fairly simple in terms of controls on an actual console, at least Brotherhood. AS2 was, like, 50-50%, the golden middle.

Not even gonna comment on the first game, for me it sucked so bad I was having second thoughts about moving to the second and Brotherhood at all. That was a nightmare I'm never gonna think about again xD

I feel sorry for Mac users. One of my friends wanted AC on a Mac but only has one mouse click. Assassin's Creed pretty much revolves around using your right click to free-run, block, tackle etc. Though I suppose that's what you get for choosing Apple over Microsoft.

With FPS's anyway, I find it much, much easier to use a keyboard and mouse. I hate joysticks as whenever I even nudge it upwards, my view shoots up more than I intended.

 

[gklsvadpm]

im waiting for it!!!
i think the story will end here...

 

[boogieboy]

me waiting for it as well but have to finish AC: Brotherhood first

Amen to that xDDD

I'll probably end up buying it but......

The last installment tried to improve but got it wrong in a number of ways. The freeplay aspect was handy, but meant that you could achieve too much too early on. As such I had the armour of Romulus way too early - made fighting very tedious and repetitive.

Again making money was pointless, you peaked way too early and made it all irrelevant. If they had paced these two aspects a little better it would have been far better than it was.

I get the feeling we'll have a similar game, with bad pacing just with a different backdrop.

That's true. But I'm the sort of person that finishes all of the side quests and gets all the best items first and then finishing the main storyline. I also had the armour of Romulus as well as the Sword of Altair before I was halfway through the game. All the same, I still found it fun.

 

[scamander]

that's generally the way I play. The game was brilliant in the middling segments (dealing with towers etc). But I got everything too early, as such the treasure boxes were largely redundant as well as some of the guild quests. I've got Altairs Sword, why do I want to spend a good while to get a simple bone dagger???

Well, hopefully we can expect a more entertaining game in Revelations. Only two months to wait now.
