Sup guys, i've been on the ball with gaming and here are some more impressions
Assasins Creed (ps3)-I've played and finished this game. Kind of proud that i finished this rather quickly. I actually found this to be an enjoyable game despite all of its criticisms. I'll adress the negatives first. YES THE MISSIONS ARE REPETETIVE, and some of the vigilantes and scholars were a bit useless since most of them weren't around in places i needed them.Drunks and beggars were annoying,especially during the end. The ending was a cliffhanger and was a little weird and out of place...but
This game had soo many more positives. Though repetetive, they weren't frustrating. To complete investigation missions, one only needs to finish two of these. Though you can pick up some valuable informations from doing all 6, pickpocket missions were easy and the most helpfull. What helps is that i really got into the story. I admitt, i was a little pescimistic about the sci-fi premise, but all in all it worked, and i grew to like it. It had religious philosphies and relativism as themes that i really got into.It made the story really enjoyable to get to, and i couldn't wait for the dialogue sequences activate.Fighting was pretty cool, especially when a counter resulted in a death for the opponent. No matter how many waves of enemies i had to encounter, the fighting system was intuitive enough that it was easy. Assasinations were freaking awesome. Using the hidden blade was cool, and never got old for me. The acrobatics and platforming was super awesome. I thought it was actually better than the prince of persia acrobatics. This has the best environment, barnone. No gta game that i ever played made me feel soo imersed as assasins creed has. the architecture, the scale, and the people made me feel like this was a living breathing world. people on the streets felt like they had their own lives. i would give this 9 out of 10.can't wait for the sequel
Star Wars Force unleashed (ps3)- ok so it is fun. Super bad force powers. Another beautiful world. But man oh man the third boss was super cheesy. instead of an epic fight, i kept on wondering how retard and cheesy this boss is.Like a pesky insect which i couldn't lock on too because of bad camera angles and a lack of lock on system. so instead of matching light saber skill, i drained his life bar through 2nd level force lighting... trust me, it made the match super easy, i encountered a glitch where i completely dissapeared on the screen although my lightsaber markings still showed when i pressed the attack button.
With a lack of a good camera and a lock on system, bad aiming and a force grip thats not reliable when in close environments, what keeps me going in this game is that the force is such an addicting thing. Force gripping storm troopers or other enemies, and flining them to oblivion is totallly dope. Force repulsing while surrounded by swarms of enemies is sick. this game has a lot of style and loads of fun 70% of the time. I really got into the bad ass sith char who seemingly has some good guy like qualities. The char expressions is awesome, the story is awesome, and the story is vintage star wars awesomeness. I still give it a 7.5. i'm anticipating the more frustrating star destroyer/tie fighter section...so depending on how the rest of it goes, the score may go down.
thats it for now...once im done with star wars, i'm going to give my ps3 collection a break and finish mgs,god of war 3, and start on symphonia. i'm determined to finish sttfu quickly
