I've only played a little bit, since I want to finish Uncharted first, but I think it's pretty good so far (I'm at the part where you get the horse). What's LOLworthy about it, besides the cross-eyed Ben Stiller lookalike main (present day) character?

I'm not finding it boring so far, but then again I've only played about an hour. It's really pretty to look at, and once you get the hang of the controls they work very well, plus it doesn't suffer from the "How do we make this level....uh, challenging, I guess? Let's throw a bunch of acrobatic pirates coming from all directions, stock them with endless grenades, and see how that plays out" syndrome that Uncharted suffers from.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #9 on:** November 26, 2007, 11:16:00 PM »

uncharted is the lolgame of the month, by the by. ac does not merit hate except perhaps an eyebrow raised in contempt at their test planners.

i was waiting on a free copy of mass effect. also i am in the mood for a dumb rhythmic lootwhore game, rather than a smarty-man space dialogue simulator now with tom clancy third-person shooterin' action!

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #30 on:** November 26, 2007, 11:36:24 PM »

Mass Effect is chock the fuck full of annoying technical and design shit. A LOT of people can overlook it cause the story is supposedly omg at the end and the visuals and VA ARE nice. I just happen to not be one of those people.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #31 on:** November 26, 2007, 11:37:28 PM »

mass effect is a polarizing game. read the qt3 discussions on it -- there's smart folks who abhor it beyond words and smart folks who adore it beyond words. even in my first hour, i could see that having a balanced opinion on it was gonna be tough -- the music, dialogue, and especially the visuals/art are fuckface wow holy shit amazing, but the interface is crapped out by satan's own design group. your enjoyment will depend on how much your sense of immersion due to the brilliant execution of the former overwhelms the argh augh wtf of the latter. it has a plot i really want to dig into, but first i have to psyche myself up to discover and overcome all the inanities of the interface and party ai.

I assassinated another guy before I headed out to work today, it was awesome. I kinda wish I got my perfect stealth kill on one of the first guys cause its almost impossible with some of the later situations. I want that achievement

Once you get past like the 5th assassination your combat options are so fun.

MCD · « **Reply #41 on:** November 27, 2007, 02:22:04 PM »

Tamir (first guy) is the easiest for this achievement (stealth kill around crowds).

I like AC, Genghis Cohen. It has its share of flaws, but the game is unique, and the setting is fresh.

Well, the setting SHOULDN'T be fresh, but it is. The crusades are such a ripe time for gaming that I find it kind of difficult to believe that aside from the Total War games, this is actually one of the first major games to seriously tackle that time period.

Anyway, the gameplay is more than competent, the controls are novel, the story is pretty cool, and the setting is as tight as an infant's pussy. The negatives are that the game is as buggy as fuck, and the gameplay's progression, while certainly not bad, isn't as great as the other elements present in the game.

I personally think it's a great game, and the only way the flaws really become flaws is if you focus on finding and exploring them, as you do when you go through a game quickly, and ever little issue becomes a humungadunga. This isn't a patient gamer's game or anything, but if you like to focus on flaws too much, in spite of pretty great things all around the board, it's probably not a game for you.

There have been few better games released this year. You can quote me on that, throw it in my face, whatever. I know I'm right. FUCK SHITTY 1UP.

Himu · « **Reply #45 on:** November 27, 2007, 02:54:55 PM »

The funny thing about AC hate from reviewers: they complain about AC being repetitve when Mass Effect is probably more repetitive.

Are you familiar with the period in history? As my Shostakovich blog post shows, I really hate the whole mentality of saying you need to do research about something before you can appreciate a work of art based on it, but in the case of KoH it certainly helps. It also helps that the period of history was incredibly interesting in many regards. The dark ages were fantastic. Being a human was basically like being an animal. Everyone was uneducated. Lifespans were short, and death for most common people was always right around the corner. And then some Important People got bored and decided Crusades would be a good idea, and things got WORSE.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #51 on:** November 27, 2007, 03:39:01 PM »

Yeah, maybe if I did a bit of research before rewatching it I would enjoy it. I studied it in world history class like 15 years ago but I've never been anything close to an aficionado.

part of the problem is that I hate all groups involved in the Crusades equally. there's no good guys and bad guys, there's just awful guys and fucking worse guys. because of that I've never been able to get into the period because it's just such a cesspit of human horribleness.

That's what makes it so great!

I mean, in real life, even today, there are never good guys and bad guys, just different perspectives. The Crusades are a great period to learn and explore this, since these very disparate groups and people were regularly interacting. And everyone was stone distinguished mentally-challenged, and thought they were the only party that was right. Sure, some people were more "right" than others, but the whole thing was just a mess.

Edward Norton's character in KoH, while a bit romanticized, was pretty much a good guy that understood the perspective of the "enemy" more than others. And he wasn't the only one, either. It's just that history was written by the religious, so the dumbasses tend to be remembered more than the people that really knew what was going on. There were people that were mostly good in the Crusades. Heck, even Salah al-Din wasn't a bad guy in the light of the Crusades. He was just trying to defend and alternately take back the things that had unjustly been taken from his group. Even the Assassins, the historical Assassins, not the AC fictionalized ones, had good goals at heart. It's the methodology that was wrong.

It doesn't do the period justice to think of it in terms of good and bad, bad or worse, or good or evil. Everyone had generally understandable motives at heart. People were just pretty dumb back then, and religion was the guiding light. As history has shown, religion is a VERY POOR guiding light.

The crusades are like this awesome study in all sorts of relativism. With a passing knowledge, you might think that everyone was bad, and everyone during the crusades certainly thought that everyone that wasn't them was bad, but it wasn't like that at all. It was all relativism, misunderstanding, and making the streets of Jerusalem run ankle deep with blood (it actually happened!).
