I like Thief THIS much
I haven't bought a single AC game (except the first which came in some cheapo bundle with 5 games for 10 euros), torrent all the way baby.
The game is a semi open casual sandbox game, you just play it to watch pretty buildings and climb on them, all missions are just an excuse for you to climb on pretty buildings. Climb pretty buildings on time, climb pretty buildings for collectibles, climb pretty buildings to avoid guards, climb pretty buildings to kill guards. The name has assassin in it but it is better described as "Ubisoft renaissance casual climbing simulator." It is all about climbing pretty buildings with some cool Prince of Persia moments. That is it, if you don't like climbing pretty buildings, I think you shouldn't waste your time with the franchise.Stuff
Too bad these are still much worse than actual Prince of Persia. I still wonder if Ubisoft care enough to try make at least one decent game in that series.Prince of Persia-like sections are the best part of it,IMO.
Its supposed to be played with the gamepad(X360 one for example)
If you say so, I use the controller for pretty much anything multiplatform except for shooters nowdays.Its supposed to be played with the gamepad(X360 one for example)
No it plays fine with a keyboard, no need to get a stupid useless controller.
Making the assassin a demigod is a big issue when it comes to stealth mechanics. "Oh you fucked up, here's 20 guards coming for your ass. No problem, bring it." In AC4 I did a 5 man kill combo first 30 minutes into the game.
i've always understood that to mean that the original killed the target in a situation where he could talk to it alone in such a manner, but what you did in the memory simulation is close enough to trigger that actual memory playback and thus irrelevant to stuff like guard movement.For some reason, AssCreed 2 keeps AssCreed 1's gimmick of the assassin holding his victim and hearing an "insightful" dialogue as he dies. This made no sense from the start (all the guards politely wait in the corner as their master is dying?), but at least in the first one the dying monologues contained 90% of the plot.
On the plus side, we only once got a cut back to Desmond McDullface, and that one mostly consisted of a dream sequence with Altair. They seem to be using the the meta-storyline towards setting up a modern-era Assassin game with Desmond as the protagonist, I'm sure this will pay off in the end.
If you force yourself to get the 100% sync, the missions get a bit better.
AC3 did it for me. Whereas before I had been enjoying the series as an action thingie (that are fairly rare, or total shit, on pc), AC3 literally destroyed what little value the series had for me. The pathetic attempt at making an uber-dramatic story, and a "deep" main character, the propaganda-infused writing, the shit-as-usual voice acting, the lack of decently designed big urban centres, the "we're turning this into a management/farming/tycoon game now" issue, everything. And Connor is possibly not just the worst main character in the series, but one of the worst designed main characters to date. I won't play AC4, nor any other AC. I might consider replaying remakes of AC and AC2brotherhood, for the visuals, if anyone will ever make something like that.
You could always try standalone version of Freedom Cry, its a bit cheaper than base game (at least in my country during sales). Of course its shorter but for me its good since main games tend do drag on too long, even without doing optional content.No thanks, I've had enough of atheistarded bible-bashing and history-rape. Might try out AC4 later, for now I'll stick with Heroes VI and Wasteland 2.
Games that are based on analog movement without analog targeting play better with a controller. Well, a G13 is even better.Its supposed to be played with the gamepad(X360 one for example)

Great argument. If a console gamer finds a KB and mouse awkward to use and finds controllers more comfortable that means that KB and mouse is stupid and useless, right?I find controllers to be incredibly awkward to use and feel way more comfortable with a mouse and keyboard. Yes, I even prefer the horribly clunky M&KB controls of Dark Souls to using a controller with that game.
