@Kidfried after around 6 attempts (and as it’s on Legendary, you can’t just continue… you have to go through the whole level and boss fight etc just to get to the car chase) I’ve called it a day and started Assassins Creed 2. I will return to it and keep trying but I’m done for today!
@colonelkilgore I left Kena to return to the franchise. How is your current game or how are your current games going?

@jdv95 Y3-5 were pretty much just ports of the old games so they look a bit rough but were serviceable enough when I played through them (although going to them now I'm used to 60fps PS5 game might have been even tougher!).
The Kiwami games were more remasters putting the games into the engine used for Zero so they looked and felt much smoother. There were also a few changes in the first game to link in events of Zero for those of us who played it first.
I was pretty pleased to see 3-5 come to PS4 though as I hadn't long completed YK2 and was wondering if I'd have to dig out my PS3 and find the games on eBay or something.
@TheBrandedSwordsman not bad dude, have hit a couple of walls on Rise of the Tomb Raider & Yakuza Kiwami though… think I’m 3 trophies off the platinum on the former and 1 off the latter but I just feel a bit burned out. Just started Assassins Creed 2.
@colonelkilgore It’ll be interesting to see how you take to Assassin’s Creed 2. My mum’s been loving it despite the admittedly dated controls resulting in a lot of death by falling from great heights!
@nessisonett I’ve quite enjoyed it for the most part. Like the setting and Ezio etc… but the combat is so bad no the parkour is noticeably worse than the later instalments that I’ve played also. I get it though, it’s understandable what with how old it is 🤷♂️
@colonelkilgore The combat’s serviceable in my opinion but absolutely nothing special! The parkour just likes to throw you off buildings occasionally. The setting and characters really elevate it for me, it’s still one of my favourites even though I’ve played every game in the series now.
@colonelkilgore Hmm yeah I did wonder how Assassin's Creed 2 would be like to play in this day and age, especially if you've played the more recent games previously.
Just don't bother with those damn feathers!
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@RogerRoger fair enough. I kinda back-doored it myself. It was Ancient Greece and Odyssey that appealed to me… and like you, I was a little tentative about getting into something with so much story having already been told. It was great though… and it piqued my interest to try some of the others (which in turn made my mind up to eventually play them all). They appeal to my ocd (hell all Ubisoft single player games do)… but I do find that I enjoy the settings/themes of each instalment too.
If you ever do find a spare month or so in your diary, I’d imagine that AC Origins will really impress you. It’s presentation of the late Ptolemaic period of Egypt really is something.
@RogerRoger I think AC Origins would be a good starting point. It’s something of a reboot of the franchise anyways, and although the concept of the animus is introduced in the first couple installments and Origins does little to explain the modern day events, it’s so much less important so as to just be easy to skim and almost ignore whilst you just enjoy 95% of your time as Bayek in Egypt.
If you were to try AC III (the American Revolution one) as an entry point it would be a lot less approachable from a narrative standpoint, as the modern day storyline is much more intermixed since it’s a continuation of Desmond’s story. So you’re prone to feel a little lost without the context of at least the Ezio trilogy beforehand.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@RogerRoger Don’t let people put you off Assassin’s Creed III entirely! It’s worth playing if you’ve played the Italy ones especially for the modern day stuff but the actual Revolutionary War story is fantastic, one of the best actual stories in my opinion.
Just belatedly started Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. I was a bit concerned that it wouldn’t feel too next gen (for the time) compared to … Human Revolution… it does though in fairness. It seems to play smoother and actually looks quite beautiful compared to the previous entry.
@Jimmer-jammer as has been the case for me lately with games that I’m not overly motivated to start… I’m really liking what I see so far. Just finished the first mission and got back to Prague. Been fancying a cyber-punk game since… well, when Cyberpunk 2077 released to dulcet groans. Think this could be my fix until CD Project Red get their act together and release the PS5 version,
Started playing Diablo 3 today. Been wanting to check out this series for a long time now and all this talk about Activision Blizzard has put me in a mood to play it. So far it's really good, the gameplay loop is so much fun and addicting. Really excited to play more of it soon!
Edit: Played some more of it on Vita via Remote Play and it works so well!
