Forums - Gaming - My Answer: Holy Crack Ubisoft... (PoP & AC1 Related)

One thing:

Don't you EVER compare Altair to Kratos, Dante and Drake (by the way he sounded like Drake because he IS Drake- Nolan North). Altair is pathetic. He runs like a chicken, he's permanently got a hood over his eyes, he fails at swordfighting, he speaks in a thick American accent despite being Arabic, he can't dual wield blades and he spends most of his time climbing up towers, beating up robbers and generally running away from people.

EDIT: And Altair is in my Soul Calibur IV, but that's because I made him. He fights better in SCIV.

ROFL!!!

Poor Altair, :D ...

Yeah he is creatable in SCIV eh?

And yeah i know Kratos, Dante and Drake > Altair, but i like the we he goes about his work it just seems cool to me, not saying hes as strong or skilled as any of the above, but just the way his personallity is.

The Prince though, i thought he was abit strange, though i like him more then Altair cause atleast he kicks ass.

Yeah, I have to agree with that- his personality is awesome. The Prince, however, is extremely lame, but rather more likable.

Errr there wasn't a single mention of GAMEPLAY in the OP's post.

It was

1. Looks nice
2. Looks nice
3. Looks bad ass

I haven't played PoP on the current gen, but I don't think that it diverged from the SoT trilogy in a good way (no time mechanics, no dying if you fall, etc). Assassin's Creed was such a huge dissapointment, sorta like Fry Cry 2. When you see the scripted gameplay, and the developer's description of a really open world and complex gameplay, it seems awesome on paper. When you actually play it, it absolutely falls flat. They were constantly saying "Prince of Persia team" and the reviewers were overhyping the game, saying "It's like PoP in the crusades era".

But PoP was a platformer, where you have to make the job and cordinate and use skill. In Assassin's Creed, you literally hold 1 button and just run and Altair does everything for you.

The combat consisted of just timing counters over and over and over, and you could take on armies even if you only played for a few days.

Social stealth was such a dissapointment. I could fucking climb walls and do as much crazy stuff I wanted, as long as I didn't kill anyone in plain sight. If the thing was on high alert (red) it was pretty much stay away from the guards, or you could even just press blend and slowly walk past their noses.

What I was expecting was if you stand out in the open, than the crowd then you'll be spotted. If you do crazy shit like climbing things, guards will stop you or follow you, not just some roof guards on predetermined areas telling you to get off.

Whatever I'm rambling now.

Drake is WAY more awesome than Prince (who doesn't even have a name), even though they are the same person.

As for my second post, I double posted. Yes, you're not the only one who does that >_>

True, i guess i'll explain that bit here then lol sorry.

 

I was just so freaked out by how nice eveything looked and its not even a JRPG i was rather dumbfounded is all lulz.

 

AC1's Gameplay reminded me of a Watered down inFamous WITHOUT the cool powers while adding mounts such as horses aswell as batman like tools. it was fun, but not the best i've played this gen for an Action Styled game.

 

Prince of Perisa however im finding it to be VERY charming, not only do you have a badass gauntlet and a magical side kick, but the combos look REALLY nice and style-ish, for examle i can almost compare the combat to Advent-Children final fantasy or the Matrix, really hot stuff.

 

@Kantor- True, but the prince VS drake, drake would get owned lulz.

And yeah, lulz i x5 posted in that other thread by mistake. -_- DUNT LOOK @ IT!!!1



i hate ubisoft....
fancy/pretty looking graphics , boring gameplay

Far Cry 2 . Assassins Creed, Prince of Persia

they alot of my money and now i can't get the actually good games that i wanted (Demon's Souls, Infamous) cause of them.
never going to support them again the only people who like them today are graphic whores.



I never played AC but i have some sort of disrespect about the hype generated, and how a lot of people seems to be disapointed with the game ...



Time to Work !
