sorophx Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I don't get all this hype around AC. is it a role-playing game or a stealth game? and what's so great about it? Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calax Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 It's a fun game even if the story is a little out there it's still understandable. The closest thing to its gameplay is Batman Arkham Asylum.

Malcador Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Yawn. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) I don't get all this hype around AC. is it a role-playing game or a stealth game? and what's so great about it? It's a heavily scripted sandbox game with "social stealth". It's fun to run around the giant environments and stuff, I guess.

HoonDing Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 So, no BG&E 2 then? I don't get all this hype around AC. is it a role-playing game or a stealth game? and what's so great about it? There's no stealth, it's a pure action game. You're supposed to be an assassin, but you can just stroll into a group of Templars/hoplites/whatever and counter-attack all enemies that attack you one-by-one to death. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purkake Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Pretty much like Just Cause 2 or Red Faction: Guerrilla, but with most of the fun stripped out and parkour and counter-based combat thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calax Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Yay for stupid woman who's watching facebook who said she was laughing at the "Mr. Caffine" Purk, you just don't like it because not enough is over the top comedic explosive fun.

Purkake Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I haven't actually played the second one, but open world seems kind of pointless if all you can do there are procedurally generated quests and looking at pretty views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purkake Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Can you steal a fighter jet, attach enemies to the back of it with a wire and surf on its wing while it's crashing into an oil refinery in Assassin's Creed? Can you ride on the roof of your car attaching following cars to lamp posts and each other, ? Can you dress up in a sweet pimp suit complete with a cane and the swagger and pimp slap everyone who gets in your way? Can you dismantle buildings one reinforcement beam at a time collapsing it on your enemies? Enter a building from the roof with a sledgehammer and rescue hostages? GTA is mostly about getting cops to chase you and that does get boring after a while. Edited June 6, 2011 by Purkake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but that may be because AC games attempts to maintain some lose hold on realism. Yup, jumping hundreds of meters into hay, flying on wind currents created by bonfires and time travel establish AC's firm grip on realism. Also, the question was how does AC justify its sandboxy-ness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmp10 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Also, the question was how does AC justify its sandboxy-ness? I was unaware it had to. Between quite numerous gameplay elements, locations, missions and mostly open-ended nature of the terrain it seems to be quite obvious on what kind of game it is.

Also, the question was how does AC justify its sandboxy-ness? Technically, no time travel. But you can get in a fight with the pope and beat him all over the floor. You can also beat up illegit husbands on request from their sisters. Collect gear for your character, armor, and unravel mysteries. And in Brotherhood purchase the world. Oh, and they're about to do deus Ex on the stream. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I guess the sandbox just isn't that much fun in a more serious game. I like to keep my fun and serious separately and sometimes I get confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
