    So a friend of mine tried to call me a sucker for getting Assassin's Creed and Far Cry, when they're just expansion packs disguised as full games that aren't worth full price

    And then I showed him his own Steam profile where he has played 75 hours of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and that sure shut him up

    I am a big fan of the Sans Culottes clothes, at least for a few days until something else strikes my fancy. I am awful at lock-picking, so I roped my better half into picking the locks. I found the chests thanks to youtube

    Janell is thinking about learning how to play this game, which would be super neat.

    I wish I could get the co-op to work

    I'm all for Art Deco assassins but I don't see how that would work with modern city building heights

    It's database entries on the songs you hear people sing around the place.

    I was showing my mother around Paris in the game and at one point literally asked her "Do you hear the people sing?" as an actual question.

    Various songs from the revolution, I think you pick them up by walking into cafes or by bands on the street? Or by renovating maybe, I'm not sure. So far I have La Marseiallise and Prise De La Bastille

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    I was assuming half the score was just different arrangements of La Marseillaise
    Like in Casablanca where they just play it in different keys when triumphant or sad or Nazi stuff happens

    Really I hate when a dopey piece of clothing has stats I really like.

    Thankfully the belt that gives you like 20 lockpicks looks nice.

    I did not realize belts gave more lock picks. I now have 27 lock picks!

    I really wish you had two kinds of equipping: for cosmetics and for stats

    If you unlock some of the Initiates outfits none of those change with your gear so you always look the same

    My initiates stuff is still broken and doesn't list any of my previous games despite linking them all previously. The companion app works now for me so at least I can run those nomad missions and start unlocking those chests.

    I don't know about Unity's new parkour

    It's designed to go fast all the time but sometimes I wanna go slow

    I love the new parkour. It can look fluid as hell, it is some of the best animation I have ever seen.

  • DragkoniasDragkonias That Guy Who Does Stuff You Know, There. Registered User regular
    I'm in love with the quick drop ability. Best to addition to it in a while.

    I really loved Freedom Cry

    Adewale is a cool character, and the blunderbuss is one of my favorite weapons in the series

    Unity really isn't that bad. I mean, there are some kind of memory leak issues or something, and I cannot get co-op to work, but it is a goddamned blast. It looks amazing, the setting is cool, customizing the protagonist is fun and actually sort of deep and meaningful, and the protagonist is sort of a likeable jerk.

    I totally intend to play unity at some point, because I want the huge beautiful city to run around in. Just can't afford it right now when far cry 4 is also coming out

    But freedom cry is 15 bucks and I've already got the PSN cash so

    Just traded in Unity

    Eff that game

    If they ever fix it (I bet not!) then MAYBE I'll Redbox it and finish it

    But as of right now that game has become 45 bucks that is getting used for Far Cry 4

    Teach me to love again, Far Cry 4

    This time the reviews are actually out and people can talk about the final game to say it is not fucked up, it's just more Far Cry 3 which is a-okay by me

    I've been let down too many times this year, maybe Far Cry can sa--OH FUCK BIRDS GODDAMNIT

    Things I like in unity that I want carried forward:
    More free form assassinations with options
    Free-run down
    Running through buildings and windows

    Things I miss from other games and want return in the future:
    Disarming people and using their weapons
    Variable run speeds
    Bayonets

    Things I do not like
    Costume pieces tied to out of game systems

    I'd like Unity a lot more if Arno wasn't the main character. And if they cut all the microtransaction bullshit. Oh, and if they gave me the hidden blade back.
