Their pain, it amuses me. Obviously not the employees, but the company. Zynga is terrible with their shitty farmville and whatnot. Hope this sad excuse for a "gaming company" withers and dies
Personally I just couldn't get into AC2. I thought it started off too slow compared to AC1 so I didn't really like it. I found Brotherhood to be the best because it started off fast paced and had an interesting story. AC1 was a really good concept, but it obviously wasn't as polished as later sequels were.
Great read Tom. Personally, I find it hard to kill innocents in games, or to acquire negative karma in Fallout or renegade points in ME. I think that games that are a little more realistic in their portrayal of people and actually give us choices with consequences make us a little more hesitant to mindlessly murder everyone. It depends a lot on the person. That being said, slaughtering raiders or killing zombies is a great stress release
I remember tomb raider as a staple of my later childhood. This game looks a lot different from the classic tomb raider games but I think that this might be a good thing. When a concept is just reused time and time again it starts to become like Call of Duty; great games, but simply a rehash of the previous one. Looks really fun anyways. Great article!
@evil-zodiark I think that ME gets a lot of undeserved hate specifically because of ME3. Before ME 1&2 were highly praised but since the controversy of ME3 now a person can hardly go without the series being bashed. Does ME3 deserve that bashing? Maybe it does. But that does not make the previous games absolute garbage or mediocre? I don't think so. With the exception of neverwinter nights I have played all of those games and I believe that ME is comparable in quality
I'm going against the hivemind to say I actually enjoyed this DLC. Sure, it wasn't as good as LOTSB in terms of action, but it did an excellent job in the storytelling aspect. However, I do agree with Kevin about the prolonged sleuthing element, and that it starts out too slow, but otherwise I think it was pretty good. Is it worth 800 MS points or the equivalent for other platforms? Well, that is up to the individual, but I think it was
@Hexahedronaut Each to their own, but I found that the combat was even better than ME2. There's a lot of different enemies which have different abilities and require different strategies to kill. The only boring faction is the geth, IMO
@jomipira Actually you are incorrect. The Xbox is the best selling console world wide, as stated during Microsofts E3 press conference. Obviously in some countries the PS3 is outselling it, but in terms of sales the Xbox is number 1.
