@Amhp It looks about average on consoles, but the PC version is very pretty, especially with the high res textures. If you have the computer for it, I'd recommend it - it's regularly marked down on Steam.

The performance of AC 3 on PC was so devoid of optimization and customization it was embarrassing. I'm sorry to say it alone was responsible for my loss of faith in the series, after playing about 40 hours each of AC2 and Brotherhood in silky smooth 60 fps. Let's hope Black Flag lives up to the legacy of the Italian AssCreeds, in quality and performance.

Great narration! I'm not going to lie, seeing Lego City Undercover on here makes me wish they'd port it to PS3 or PC someday - after I'm done with Fez I'll have to find another happy, colorful game world to go to when I'm sick of shooting people.

@Casuallad In case you aren't ranting and want a real response, which I doubt, you may want to screen your post for belittling, insulting phrases like "arty farty drama shit."

Also, the amount of jumps you've made to your own conclusions are just too many to count - that's really all I can say.

Ha! At least your replies are lucid and well punctuated. Your example of an "objective" review speaks volumes on its own.

@loafofgame @ianpac @mrmime777 Exactly my point - every commenter here should take this to heart.

@Venden Speak for yourself. Some of us still value a critic's right to criticize no matter how much readers bitch and whine about their opinion.

@Casuallad Objectivity is not required to be professional as a critic. Quite the opposite, actually. Most well known critics have carved out their niches by presenting divergent, interesting opinions.

Why should the games media alone be expected to behave like machines, putting their stamps of approval on games in assembly line reviews? The very idea of an "objective review" is a fantasy, and a boring one at that.

Everyone saying that a review should not involve one's personal opinions should really look up the meaning of the word critic.

@SpigyX Every review is an opinion, however objectively the reviewer tries to approach it. What gets called "objectively" good is still subjective!
