The Free Gaming Thread v2 : Electric Boogaloo

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH*]

Spoiler

Agreed with all of this. The Horrible climbing mechanics made me stop playing the games even more than the hardly-ever-changing gameplay. AC as a series because entirely pathetic after the second one, and wasn't even good for the first. It's also still stealing stuff from Sly Cooper, who did they've stolen better, on the PS2. AC really has no excuse.

That's what I like about it; it's realistic. You can't just fart your way up a building at Mach 3.
Having to find a meticulous path up is part of the fun, more interesting than modern day's "lol here's an objective 10 metres away, run to it in a straight line so that we can give you another objective 10 metres after that. Now press 'F'"

Though I admit ragequitting a few times when you line everything up perfectly and you end up jumping off a cliff in the opposite direction.

Part of the reason I enjoyed IV more than any other Assassin's Creed is because it wasn't buildings after buildings after buildings. The tropical islands were fun to run around, and hiding in the trees had a greater feeling than hanging off the side of a building. Also, pirate ships. They were fun to jump around on, too.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to playing Black Flag. I want to finally hear these shanties everyone talks about.
