Yeah, I could never really get into this franchise either.
Hahahaha 4:35 gave me a good laugh. "Ooohhhhh mahhhhh gawwwwwwwwdddd!!!!!!"
But he is right. Uncharted actually makes me consider buying a PS4.
Need to watch it to feel approved of my criticism!11
I played only the first one and it really pissed me off. They advertised it as a "Splinter Cell in day time"… I feel stupid for not seeing it.
I'm a completionist biatch, I enjoyed more collecting flags than all the rest. Player movement and traversal is nailed, but then lacks on everything else.
So boring.
I saw Black Flag super-discounted in a recent sale, was thinking of giving that a try, just because maybe with the ships is ---a bit more enjoyable--- not really AC.
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
I remember seeing the trailer for the first one and really being blown away by it. I got it and then all this scifi crap started. I really, no joke, thought that something went wrong because I missed the intro logo and figured I might have gotten a wrong disc or something. But apparently, it was the game. I played 60 minutes, found it very boring and then combat started because I messed up an assassination due to some fucking peasant getting in the way. I laughed my ass off because 5 guys we're lined up waiting for the others to die so they could take a swing at me. Ridiculous. I turned it off and never looked at the series again.

Ok.. who hacked dux's account...
I do love me some video game dunkey. Love his skyrim video
Never seen this guy, seems pretty funny so going to check his channel out.
But I agreed with pretty much every point in his video. The AC games are so repetitive it's crazy how they've sold so well. I wanted to like them because I love the history aspect of it and the combat could be fun if the enemies actually attacked me. But it's just the same missions over and over.
I'd consider trying Black Flag though since I think it could be a little different and I love pirates. But damn if there's really 40 mins or whatever of following at the start I don't think I'll bother!
Black Flag was a pretty fun game overall. Still follows the shitty structure above but it has 'drunken sailor' so I think that cancels out.
I have no hope to see them changing the formula @FMPONE. The game is targeted at teenagers really. I remember the comment of a much younger basketball mate a few years back: "oh Assassin's Creed is too cool, you kill everyone!!" -____-'
I just wonder if they'll start having slightly darker and more serious chapters as they're fan base grows older (like we have seen happening with super heroes movies/games).
Any case, I think from the story part is so fucked up that I don't think I would ever want to get a game of these again.
The formula is basically a framework for the game now. I'm guessing this cuts right down on initial design time.
Far Cry has also been doing the same for the last 3-4 games. I'm guessing it's ubisoft's mantra to get stuff shipped ASAP.
This is the major problem with most Ubisoft games. They have amazing art and insane animations, but they rehash the same game mechanics until everyone gets bored.
However, there's a glimpse of hope. From what I've gathered, they seem to skip the annual cycle this year and allow more time for design. We just have to wait and see...

Yes maybe ...
But they're still doing the same kind of poor game with a huge amount of useless content you can collect everywhere and repetitive secondary missions.
Being a "MMORPG", the division is definitely going to be the same thing. Watch dogs, Far Cry games and The crew also all had the same flaws.
They try to make people think their games are deep and that it will take you ages to finish them. Indeed it takes ages, but what's long is definitely not the funny part.
Nice video review, even if i liked some stuff in assassin's creed, i played from AC1 to 4...

no that's not the point; Jade Raymond in a panel on GTTV couple years ago basically explained that to sell at full price you need a certain amount of content (read: play hours) so that's what they do. Then you have the trail of DLC to prevent the bleeding caused by used games market.
This problem has been caused by gamers that kept asking "how long is the game". I mean, they are teenagers, I kinda understand why that's their concern, they don't have the experience/culture to make a distinction and demand for quality, they want time sinkers.
So I don't hold it against Ubisoft for doing this bloated and repetitive games: they are catering to their audience. I don't think that the target they have in mind for AC is us, the 25 year older.
Also it's not just them, any MMO is a time sinking repetitive pile of crap.

This is a pretty interesting post, and very true I think. It is pretty easy to tell when you're playing the games, not that I do very often...

Ok, i didn't know they were making estimations about play hours like that.
What i meant, is when you start any recent assassin's creed : all you want is starting and understanding the main story, but very quickly you get tons of informations about stuff you can collect, secondary missions you can achieve, ... And i really felt like the game was telling me "hey look, you can do that ! and that ! and that! and wow you can do that !!", but i wasn't interested in them at all. As if the game had to show me all the things i'll be able to do if i continue the game, just in case i was afraid it was an empty shell.
Get what you mean @leplubodeslapin, I haven't played any AC after the first so can't say but I don't have to try hard to imagine... and I think what you say just compliments and demonstrates my point: these are games for kids. Younger kids probably need to be beaten on the head with this information to A) make them understand it was a good investment buying the game B) to make them feel like the game is even longer (it is my impression that when you branch out immediately, you feel like you're playing more than you actually do).
In sorta related news:
>Tom Clancy’s The Division has sold more in its first 24 hours than any other Ubisoft game in history, according to the Ubisoft Blog.
/facepalm
So I just discovered this by accident...

In the Unity thread...
Quote from D3adsI hope the next installment of the franchise is set in Imperial Russia during the October revolution, All sorts of art-deco classical architecture to troll you haters
Bam! Too bad it's a not a brand new game though! The graphical style is a bit annoying, everything's grey apart from the red stuff? Meh...
