Enjoy the rest of the last (and only) good Assassin's Creed game.
Nah, i loved all games so far in the series.
I like roaming cities and platforming challenges in these games too much to be turned off from the series.
I played an hour of that seemingly final sequence. It's a bunch of missions where i have to use Apple of Eden as a weapon. So terrible. Nothing is explained and they don't allow to use anything else but the Apple. Can't use my sword, can't use my dagger, can't use my crossbow, can't call for other assasins.
It would have been fine if using apple was at least fun enough by itself, but no its' mechanic is just so super clunky and stupid.
And you can't even do other stuff in the city while during this sequence, like actually enjoying the game by doing side story stuff. No, they put me in a tunnel which only goes one way and only gave me a crappy apple to work with.
Ah well. The end is near.
Castlevania: Lords of ShadowI played Steam demo a bit. It looks great, very good UI. Actual battle system is decent enough, but the battles get a tad too drawn out. I got out of the village to the horse riding segment and that's where i lost interest.
Still looks like a good game. Might get it sometime in the future.
BayoStill trying to get those platinum statues. Still trying to just get through Vestibule (first level) on Hard. Second segment in Vestibule on hard is very different because you only have lightning claw monsters that you're supposed to finish off with torture attacks and they are THE toughest individual mooks in entire game and are impossible to pull long combos on (which you need to get enough magic points for Torture Attack).
I think you're supposed to use Dodge offset a lot but i still can't execute it reliably. It almost feels like Alfheim challenge where they teach you basic mechanics by putting in a position where you can win only by using it a lot and mastering it.
Speaking of. Alfheim challenges where you have limited punches and kicks are the worst. I think this one requires specific combinations of weapons and unlocks and i don't like when game forces me to play with different weapon/loadout/power-up.
I tried out ice skates and magical whip and they're neat but both have their downsides. Ice skates well, you're on ice all the time, kinda hard to control (at least you look FABULOUS while fighting). Whip is slower than regular fists but allows to pull enemies toward you.
