Today's game is some Assassin's Creed III. This was what i had lined up to play after Max Payne 2, and initially i was going to play some more of that. But i had decided to set this up ahead of time. Then... i decided to make sure it works... and i kind of lost track of time. These games are kind of my Guilty pleasure. I pick a time period that sounds interesting to me, and then get lost in it. I wish we'd see more modern ones. I personally love to see things closer to modern times rather than ancient times.
This game was actually my very first PS3 Game. I remember moving around a lot when i was young, and that's when i finished the game. It was like 3 AM and i was up in the living room, having Connor chase after Charles Lee. Too this day Connor yelling for Lee is still burned into my head. I still have my disk copy on the shelf next to Black Flag, God of War Trilogy, and Fallout New Vegas.
Going back to this? It's... a little rough in some spots. This is the remaster so i'm sure some things look better. But Haytham feels slow. Maybe Connor will be better. But the Parkour is a little hard for me to wrap around too, and the combat... well. It's a lot like The Arkham Games, that's all i really have to say. It's still fun despite these flaws though. Though, i am sure i am biased due to growing up with this game (it legit helped me pass my History Quiz).
As for the remaster? It looks great. There's still some spots where you go "yep, that is definitely a 360 game" but it still looks pretty good. Especially, look at this kid:
That is a 360 era child if i've ever seen one. It'd fit right at home in a Elder Scroll's game i think.
The plot twist with Haytham i'm surprised i missed growing up. I know i probably wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed as a child, but he has a literal sign on his cloak showcasing it. Then again, PS3 wasn't 1440P, so it's possible i missed it.
Tomorrow, will be more Max Payne 2. I will not be side tracked. No matter what. Childhood Nostalgia can wait.
I played this one purely for Desmond's story. I found everything about Connor's story utterly tedious and the setting meant that the buildings were awful for traversal.
This is the game that taught me the hard way to never preorder. And yes! The Desmond stuff was like 70% of my excitement for this game after playing Revelations and boy did they fumble that story…
Fair enough, especially the traversal. I can see how it'd be bad for the traversal with how spaced apart everything is. Some of them are way too far apart
Climbing between the same three tree branches was not my idea of fun...
