    I was just reading that. I laughed at this game being a huge leap for the series. AC3 was not a huge leap for the series like it was supposed to be.

    At least we don't have to deal with Connor's boring ass anymore. I think AC3 would have been a lot better if you played as Haytham the whole time. At least he was interesting. Plus it would have been cool to play from a different perspective.

    I finally got around to finishing AC3, but yeah, didn't see it as being a huge leap. It was actually a chore for me to finish after they made me start playing as Connor instead of Haytham, just got boring after the first few hours for me. I will be surprised if there is a "huge leap" in the series at this point.

    Wasn't Brazil rumored to be the next setting? I know they went there in AC3 but I feel like I saw this somewhere.

  • After I beat AC 1&2, that was enough for me.. I didn't even try or want to play AC3.. I don't understand how they're do popular.. So damn repetitive and the same crap, different world.. The developers used the COD model for success I guess.

    Well AC1 and AC2 were pretty different so it had people thinking that AC3 was going to be very different than AC2 (clearly it wasn't). I think this speaks to the difficult balance job that series must do between bringing in something new and exciting and loosing your identity as a series and falling off because of that. You don't want to alienate your base that loved the earlier games, but at the same time you want to offer something new that'll enhance the experience. It's a difficult thing to do.

  • As if I needed more things to convince me to get a PS4. Tonight I was on Xbox Live for the first time in a week or so and about 2 hours into playing the whole Xbox Live server crashed or something like that and kicked everyone off and wouldn't let me log back on. It was really weird.

    I highly disagree.. Both games were the same, repetitive crap. There's nothing different in the gameplay.. You do the same thing in both games the entire game.

    AC series is so overrated in my opinion.

    I find the AC series overrated as well. I bought ACIII because of the time period and lead character, and I was disappointed. Never understood why they incorporated the stupid future story with the flashbacks through the animus. Just make it a period piece and call it a day.

    If the new consoles are not significant boost in power than it is highly doubtful I buy one. These games are starting to look pretty dated compared to PC.

  • I had Xbox for 6 years during this generation. I doubt I even buy the new Xbox. If you are a halo or gears of war fan, I would say its worth it. I am not. I just love Forza. I switched to PS3 and loved just about all the exclusives I played. God of War and MLB the Show is worth it alone for me.

    Xbox Live being pay to play is beyond stupid. PC, Sony, and Nintendo do it right. Its free to play online. I do pay for PS+ but its worth it because of all the extra stuff you get at either a discounted price or completely free.

    PC and PS4 will be my choices. Ill give the Steambox a look but undecided there.

    I'm getting a PS4 on launch day. I've never had a launch console before. If KZ4 is a release title, I'm 100% doing it. Do they allow Preorders for consoles?

    They didn't last generation. Unless they have more than enough (which is highly doubtful) it will be first come, first serve.

    Well hopefully gamestop will do a ticket system for a midnight release. I will head up there at open. Get my ticket then comeback at midnight. I really don't want to sit in a line for hours.

    Prepare to be disappointed.. Maybe it's just me, but my character is so powerful at the point when I downloaded dragonborn that I can't even be challenged. I blew through the entire thing in a few hours. Some of the new things you get are cool, but I didn't feel the desire to go after any of the new equipment because I already had pretty much the best set-up you can think of.
