8 months agoStarted Assassins Creed Black Flag. The on-foot gameplay is nearly identical to 3 and the lack of a crouch anywhere but “concealing” areas like grass turns me off. Don’t forget the little quirks every early Assassins Creed has regarding traversal. You wanted to jump over the fence? Best I can do is climb it and run along it till I jump in a bush to the right.
However, the surprisingly deep naval combat keeps me coming back.
I’ve got 50% completion on Marvel’s Spider-Man. The swinging mechanic and combat are great and never wear out their welcome. What gets old is the unending cycle of finishing two missions then running into someone who starts yet another collect-athon with, “Help me find my lost pigeons strewn about the city,” or “Fight five groups of enemies in each New York neighborhood”.
