@Elann2008 @Spartan_418 There is oddly a rather large group of people out there who think the Transformers movies are great. Personally I think Bay has only ever made one good movie: the Rock... and that was a long time ago.
@jawadhasan3 While I absolutely hated Saw III and therefore never saw the rest of them- I am told that either 5 or 6 is the best in the series (I forget which exactly though, and that is a second hand opinion)
@Bladestop I think it is at least a good indication that it will be as gory as a God of War movie has to be- my biggest fear was that they'd dumb it down to a PG-13 (which was the biggest problem with the Titans movies as well as the biggest strength of 300 and Immortals). I'm not saying that it will definitely be incredible as these guys aren't exactly known for writing oscar contenders, but at least they are known for writing very bloody stuff
@squidracerX @Germandude2 Yeah Valhalla Rising is a bit of slog- the first 15 minutes or so are awesome but then it commits hard to the "journey to hell" metaphor and puts the audience through some weird emotions. In a way it is effective, but it's kind of like Requiem for a Dream; objectively it's well made and very unique, but once you've seen it once there is really no reason to put yourself through it again. Drive on the other hand seems to get better every time I watch it.
I think a full on modern day Assassins Creed would be really cool- although they need to fix how guns are handled in the series. They should look to the Arkham as an example of how dangerous even low-level enemies to a superhero player character if they are carrying a gun. Forcing players to approach combat in AC with more thought would be a nice change of pace- and the Eagle Vision is sort of already in place if they want a system with which to distinguish fire-arm enemies from melee enemies. In AC3 there was just too much of enemy characters waiting around to die next instead of just firing their muskets. Even if they made them panic when Connor first shows up and fire a wayward shot that always misses (forcing them to go through the long reload process) it would've felt more natural than gun wielding enemies watching their friends get hacked up with a tomahawk and not firing a single shot.
@tgwolf @MJ12-Conspiracy Ratchet and Clank games are lots of fun and well written- they're not exactly the type of games I'd run out to get on launch day, but it's definitely still solid - and the free Vita version is a nice touch too.
