man, it is quite funny how you come here and bash everybody's comments with a negative replies. I guess is the lack of sex life, but hey, i've got some good news for you - GTA5 will give you an opportunity to experience even that!
@adub424 i do not think that you understood it right. hardcore gamer is not a person who buys one game and masters it! it is a guy who bus 20 games and masters them :) That is what makes him a hardcore gamer! An yes, these are the ppl that are like...the barometer of the gaming industry! Microsoft as always, focuses on the mass and the mass is the casual gamers that get 5 games a year and play 1 to 3 hours once every 2 games...but they are so many more than the hardcore gamers ! It is a good video. Lots of right points. And the backtracking iis really idiotic. Lots of ppl on management positions in MS are just not good enough!
@Karjah @FAIL_RETURNETH well, most of the RPG have the option to chose the character's sex! I think that from the shooters GoW tried that and later IGN or GameSpot reported that they did not succeed in attracting more female gamers
@k0k066 @DiMuTk0 cool man, have it your way. I accept only the comment for the boarding ( swim to the enemy ship in the middle of a naval combat HAHAhaAhaHA) and yet. For me this preview was linear - you damage, approach, board....what if i don't want to damage, what if i want to kill only the crew, what if i want to save as much as possible from the crew so i can take them as pirates and for this i want to use chained cannonballs only for the mast! then on the island - way i have to have only two options - main road (kill the guards for 2 min) or goat path - again no stealth - but kill only one guard. What if I don't want to kill everybody, what if i want to release the prisoners silently. And yes you can have a virility of stealthy weapons this does not change a thing. It is a fact that there is one, pre-designed "perfect" path for executing each mission that is a combo of stealth and action - well my dear friend, from the point that we are talking about a pre-designed path there is no more open world!! and the last thing over which we are debating - please, watch the video one more time and tell me, how was the MAIN target killed !??!
Well, what can I say - I was so excited about the theme of this AC...and now it is all gone! I is quite funny how Ubisoft is promoting their linear game play as an open-world! it is ridiculous! Front cannons - this type, side cannons - the other type! damage the enemy ship enough, board it and then ---woooow you get the option to add it to your fleet ( yes, the heavily damaged one)! Boarding - linear, (from all previews that I have seen) stealth - linear ( it is ridiculous how the two guards were closing to each other...). Great job with the no loading times and the smooth transitions ...but not at the expense of a linear game-play! there is one game that i played before 6 or 7 years - Age of Pirates! Upgrade ships - yes, upgrade character - yes, upgrade important crew members - yes, lots of different weapons and treasures - yes, tense naval combat - yes, option to board a ship whenever you are close to it - yes, really fighting to successfully board a ship - yes, interesting economy - yes. UBISOFT - play that game, it is not expensive to get, and there is a lot to learn from it! ....ah and one final thing - make the assassinations with the hidden blades not with tomahawks or swords or sniper rifles or bazookas - you are no longer following the creed!
One more vote for Japan from me! Just imagine the huge variety of weapons, the fact that you can be a bad ass ninja, especially during the period described in the "The Last Samurai" movie. Here comes the transition from AC3 and US. I saw that some of you would like a more modern assassin - that might go terribly wrong! who would like a sniper rifle gunning!! And the sailing part - i wouldn't say it is so crucial - I would prefer a separate pirate game - Red Dead Redemption style!
