Yes. Yes yes yes. It's one of the best team-based tactical games out there. I've lost 50+ hours to it and its highly customizable difficulty sliders.

haha holy poo poo I can't imagine playing a game like this. what's next, loving magic meter for your grenades and bullets?

for the record I find it hard to play overwatch after titanfall 2. not being able to clamber around everywhere and everything and also slide is a bummer. Dishonored 2 and TF2 make me want every FPS to have a slide function.

Just stick to Lucio and pretend you're still playing the same gsme

It's a laptop.

It can run New Vegas on max settings so I dunno. It does have trouble running AC: Brotherhood on most non-toaster settings, though.

I liked 3, but I think I am a major exception to the audience. I liked exploring the wilderness area, and the animal crossing bullshit at the homestead, and petting every animal in the cities. The cities themselves were total rear end, though.

I did enjoy when Ben Franklin gives his prepared speech about loving older women to Hatham Kenway during the prologue.

No mans sky was a hyped up impossibility and nobody thought mighty number 9 would be any good, middling at best

Enter the Gungeon shows such promise and then after a few runs you start to realize how utterly, utterly flawed and bad it is, and what wasted potential it has

Until the grappling hook was introduced I thought ACIII's forest parkour was the freshest and maybe the best implementation the series had. They were able to make fun and seamless lines to run through as opposed to the cities where slavish devotion to the real geography and architecture often leads to a million chimneys and attic windows getting in the way and interruptions from streets.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
Pirate's Creed was better than any of the other AC games and they should really just make more of those. I was so confused by them returning to landlocked cities for Unity and Syndicate.

Considering Brotherhood is generally held up as one of the high points of the series you're not going to find a lot of agreement there.

The recent "remaster" of AC2 tried to compensate for the slower and more methodical climbing of the older titles by cranking up your climbing speed, only it completely breaks the animation system in the process so Ezio is zipping up and down on one leg while his arms flap around. It's incredible.

You should play Rogue then. It's Black Flag but half winter half spring. Also it has even more wilderness than 3 but a lot better designed.

The UI for shops, trading, etc. ALONE makes 3 one of the worst videogames I've ever played. Like, why did they suddenly decided that everything should be a picture in a weird bubble with almost not text describing what you even do on each screen, when all the screens look the same? What the gently caress even is that?

Like, Korean MMOs and mobile games have better UIs than this.

No it isn't.

Brotherhood introduced the multiplayer to the game, had basically the only good implementation of the optional objectives system, made a lot of refinements to the gameplay and combat over AC2, and had a lot of polish due to the fact they were recycling a lot from AC2. The mechanical changes from 2 to B are actually pretty noticeable if you play them back to back. It's actually a fairly large improvement.

Meanwhile AC3 was launched in such a broken state that only AC:Unity eclipses it which alone is a pretty significant issue even if you don't go to the other things.

Pretty sure this was confirmed to be bs and just polygon being polygon. The glitch you're referencing was in the original game.

AC2 was cool because getting caught during missions was almost never an instant fail, then they put out some miserable dlc for it that was nothing but instant fails, and then they got the people who made that dlc to make Brotherhood and they filled that with instant fails too, so I didn't like Brotherhood.

No, Rogue was the one everybody ignored because it came out only on old consoles and at the same exact time Unity came out on new consoles. Its on PC though now.

Rogue is basically a sequel to Black Flag, it has ship combat but its set back in North America instead of Carribean. Its like a mix of 3 and Black Flag that is supposed to be real good. But everybody ignored it because all the marketing by Ubisoft was on Unity, which was lovely.

The worst AC games were 3 and Unity, and the best AC games were Black Flag and Brotherhood.
