Assassin's Creed 3, The Last of Us and Splinter Cell: Blacklist Expo impressions

Somehow in my last blog I managed to not mention Assassin's Creed 3, The Last of Us and Splinter Cell: Blacklist, all of which I didn't get to play but saw about 15min gameplay of each. Here are my impressions!

The Last of Us looks amaaaazinnngg! I want it and I want it now! It looks really, really intense and has a much darker tone then Uncharted. It looks very cinematic and combat sequences seem to let you approach them from different angles, and I loved how that girl actually helped out in the gameplay. For example when the guy on the stage ran out of ammo, the girl said "hey a**hole" and threw a rock at him, which startled him for a melee attack from the main character. Just looks like a really cool game and I'll try and buy it on release.

Assassin's Creed 3! I'm definately not a fan of this series, and to be completely honest this game looks about as boring as its predecessors. The AI are horrible, no surprises, and it has a bunch of gimmicky useless weapons again. Also it looks too easy... again. I do love the settings however, and the personal story of the Assassin seems better then ever, but still it looks as dull and repeditive as its predecessors. The boat battles looks pretty cool however, if a bit shallow. Also we saw the main character get attacked by bears and play out the same freaking quick-time event over and over and over for about 5 bears straight. Just a heads up Creed fans! You're going to find bears really annoying after this one. Overall it looks better then it's predecessors, but better doesn't always mean good. Creed 2 proved that.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist basically looks like a more refined version of Conviction, a game which I actually really liked despite it being really damn easy. I'm looking forward to it, I hope it's longer and more difficult then Conviction, as what I saw didn't really show that. It just seemed like Conviction, which is nice.

So yeah, there's those games. If I happen to remember any more games I missed I might make a post about them :P
