@tchanah: I personally like AC3 the best out of all the AC's I've played.
I think Unity would have been awesome if the technical problems hadn't made gameplay so bad.
I think to really appreciate these titles takes a certain level of maturity that younger gamers are not going to have. That's not a knock, I know when I was a kid I did not appreciate history, but now I do and games like this make it come alive. If I had played this when I was in my 30's I might have liked it, but in my 40's I really like the AC settings. AC games give me so much more than your Call of Duty or Doom titles ever could.
If you playing AC titles just for the game mechanics your not going to enjoy it nearly as much unless you also like the semi-real historic settings and story.
@ZRavN I think the general population has grown weary of the Michael Bay type presentation of gaming and want more drama and personal connection to their gaming experience. I know I do.
I dunno. It's closer to what I consider "photo-real" but it's still not at the point where I have to do a double take to make sure it's not a photograph.
Way back when Crysis came out on the PC, there were moments when I really thought I was looking at a real screen-grab from a camera or photograph. I know COD isn't the king of what to expect for photo-realism, but there are some things that to me still look fake. The water for example looks way too CGI, rocks and stuff like that still don't compare to Crysis on PC.
I know, I know, it's a shooter, why should I care? Well, I don't for a shooter, but first releases on a new system are supposed to "WOW" the user as to what the system can do, and so far I don't see any real "wow: moments with this COD.
Maybe I need to look at other games because I'm sure not a COD/MW fan boy.
As far as the XB1 vs PS4 debate, I have owned both the 360 and PS3 during this gen, and looking back I would have stuck with the PS3 from the get go, knowing what I know now.
I'm not a fan of motion and voice controls. I'm a 40 year old Husband and Father, so there are many times when I can't use voice or motion controls when I want to game. Say 3 am on a Saturday night when every one else is sleeping. Let me always have the choice of using 100% controller control. Xbox 360 took that option away with a lot of the "Kinetic required" games that I would have loved to try.
I'm not your typical 360 on the big-screen in the living room gamer. My PC and consoles are all connected to a gaming monitor in my bedroom so I don't have the need or room for 5 feet back distances needed for motion controls and if I wake my wife up at 3 am because I HAVE to use a voice control to use my system, well that system won't be for me because I don't feel like having to sleep on the couch for pissing of my wife.
