It's a neat little game, but it only lasted me a couple of hours. Only get it if have nothing better going on or you really liked to fuck around with the landscape/elements on map editors back in the day.From Blintzes to Crepes wrote:From Dust looks pretty cool and it's available for download.

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
The gameplay in the first one was repetitive, but I liked the story and the era it was set in. The second game made huge improvements to the first game, and I liked the "city building" aspects to it. The third game was even better, adding new weapons and kill moves, plus the rpg aspect of re-establishing the Assassin's Guild. Again I loved the settings for II and III... especially how they tried to remain accurate with the layouts of the cities...Cryptoplasty wrote:Splain' the lure.

Drunk The Bill struck again wasting my XBLA points & Amazon credits on mediocre games. Downloaded Aliens vs Predator (2010) & Star Wars: Force Unleashed, and Captain America & Golden Eye arrived in the mail yesterday. Man, I'm stock piled on games now

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
The setting of the Asscreed games would be alright because at least it's somewhat original... if it wasn't for the retarded sci-fi shit they decided to package it in. When I started the first one, my immediate reaction was something like, it's all well and good that Kristen Bell is in this, but I thought I was going to be a kickass renaissance assassin here, who's this dork and why am I point-click searching the same boring metal-walled lab room from seventy kabillion other games? And then I had to watch a horse's ass for 45 minutes before the game made me do poorly implemented stealth chores before I could kill the guy I was supposed to kill. And it was pretty clear I'd have to do all this five times over. Once I'd had my fill of jumping off tall towers, I was pretty much done because that was the only fun part of the game.

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
You should totally keep complaining about the first mission of the first game, after Broman and I have both stated that things improve greatly with the second game... It's not annoying at all...

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
I played the second one for 4 hours and that was enough for me to proclaim it the worst gaming franchise in the history of shitty games
everything about that game sucks and every bit of hate people have for it is deserving to the fullest

I was actually just going to make my observation about the sci-fi framework of the setting, but then I got carried away rambling about how much I hated my time with this game again.

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
that's my exact same experience. never played the first one, second one got great reviews so i got it. boring story, cheesy voice acting, combat sucks, graphics were all hazy/foggy or something, missions are repetitive. i don't get the love for this series at all (although it seems like half the people who play the games really hate them).The Schwartz wrote:I played the second one for 4 hours and that was enough for me to proclaim it the worst gaming franchise in the history of shitty games

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
The sci-fi part of the story does kinda suck, but it's not so intrusive as to ruin the game for me. I don't mind repetitive gameplay if it's enjoyable to me (example, I love the Dynasty Warriors series)... but even given that, I don't find AssCree games as repetitive as a lot of the games that most people cream over on here.

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
I'm with Mari. II and III were massive improvements on the game. the first one I hated, I got it for free, just wrote off the game completely. my brother in law told me to try the second one and I managed to get it for free somehow. I loved it. ran out and bought brotherhood as soon as I finished II and can't wait to get my hands on Revelations.
The first one completely sucked, not a good sell for that franchise. therefore most people wrote them off and never returned. too bad, because they redeemed themselves on the next two releases.
edit: finally picked up LA Noire. I love it.

Don't want to get into a casual vs. hardcore gamer arguement, but I've met too many people who own an Xbox and own nothing but Assassins Creed games and Halo and concider them the greatest games ever.

In all seriousness, sure I'm a casual gamer now. But, I definitely own, have played, and enjoy more than an Xbox and Assassin's Creed and Halo...
