It's the best Assassin's Creed game ever made.

I couldn't believe it either, but it's true.

I had some guy that got to some insane power level because he had a particular set of traits that made him nigh unkillable unless you got him with a stealth kill. Which I did, but then that fucker came back and taunted me. :mad:

the worst one i had was the last war chief of the first area, he could only be hurt by combat finishers. but he was a big bastard with a shield and i couldnt vault over him or wraith stun him so i had to build up combos on his scrubs and then hit him with finishers. he also had a huge amount of health and regened quickly, and if he hit me it took off bout half my life

first time we me he killed me, second time he ran away and i couldnt catch him. but the third time, well i whittled him to half health and then activated storm of urafel and took his head

Worst captain I killed ended up at level 26 with a shield, poisoned weapon, blocks vault, combat master, attacks do 2/3rds of my health in one hit, etc.





And was terrified of graugs. :getin:

So in that Lord of the Rings game do you do anything besides roam Middle-Earth looking for BOSS FIGHTZ?

That's all I've heard about the game, but then again I've never played Assassin's Creed, either.

I had a roommate who did. I saw karate fights and DNA STORY so I figured the entire franchise was hosed.

Goons, as usual, are loving idiots. They expect so much while being so easily disappointed. I posted about it earlier: Driveclub tosses a bunch of tracks and cars at you. If you go into the game expecting something that's similar to Gran Turismo without the really hardcore sim elements, you'll be pleased. Game looks fantastic, plays really well, and has everything needed for a good variety of racing conditions.

I actually hate racing sims and this is pretty much the best mix of difficulty and psuedo-realism with arcadey type stuff.

well ive put 18 hours into it, if you like 3rd person runnin around fightin guys stuff like batman or asscreed then youd probably like this. you will hardly ever fight a boss alone, theyve got a horde of dudes that surround em and in the strongholds they constantly spawn in as you kill their buddies. the combat is fun enough and by midgame you cant just mash buttons and expect to live so its pretty rewarding

the other things you do are pick up collectibles that give you level up points to get better at murder

Is it as bad as Deus Ex: Human Revolution was where there's a massive drop in quality in the last 40 minutes of the game? You can pretty much point to the exact spot in DXHR where they ran out of time or money and had to get the game out of the door

the last story mission is basically a couple of easy fights and then a dead simple QTE

doesn't really keep in spirit with the rest of the game but whatever at least it wasn't a pain in the rear end
