@RaymanFan2 Might want to give Fox a chance if you have a Wii U. Platinum can make just about any game into a thrill ride. If you don't, then it's ok to skip.
But what's the point of a big, realistic rendition of an iconic city if there is nothing to do in it? That's the question I have from playing every other AC game. They are going to have to answer it thoroughly if they expect me to plunge for this one.
@get2sammyb Same happened with Blood Dragon, I suppose. I had trouble convincing my friends Blood Dragon was real, because it was announced on APRIL FOOLS DAY. Ubisoft make some questionable decisions sometimes.
@Azikira Just be glad the campaign wasn't adapted into single player because people (including myself) would have bought it just for the story and been sorely disappointed. It would have easily been possible for a single player mode to exist since it's divided into levels rather than a big open world but it wouldn't have been worth playing.
I actually agree. I find myself being a bit annoyed how similar so many protagonists are to one another. It's starting to blend together too much. It's gotten better over the years, however. I joke about having more representation of fat people in games, but to be honest I'd actually like to see an obese protagonist be pulled off well.
I am very glad to see this. A couple years ago, anybody I asked about Metal Gear Solid would just shrug their shoulders. Made me fear for this game's popularity.
I appreciate the fact that they are putting a lot of effort into the part that fans of the series care about. However, the lack of single player in any game will be a red flag for me to avoid it at all costs. If I buy it, I'll never touch it. It's not the developer's fault, it's mine. The only co-op games I play are on-couch like the old days of SNES and N64.
@xMEADx you're missing out on a lot of great stuff then. Half Life 2, Grand Theft Auto 5, Heck it's not illegal to mod games, so that's a lot of games to not play.
Even I figured this out. However I can see how nobody else found it. There are a lot more buttons these days than in the SNES days, so it's important that most First Person games have the same control schemes. Don't know any that use R2.
@Flurpsel not even 1990s. The original Doom had barrels that explode when you shoot them. Same way I felt, too. It's basically a "look but don't touch" kind of environment.

The Dualshock 4 is definitely the most comfortable pad I've ever held. I thought it was the 360 controller for the longest time but on the Dualshock 4 I can just put my hands on it and my thumbs naturally rest right where the stick are, giving me perfect access to each button. It's just indescribable. Also the handles feel a million times better than the Dualshock 3 (take this from somebody who's never owned an Xbox)
@Anchorsam_9 Maybe we should appreciate Metal Gear Solid for trying to help the situation with games being taken seriously. There are movies about these tough subjects (child soldiers, sxual harassment), I don't see why games can't depict harsh realities considering they're treated with the same respect. Say, for instance, a game that depicts events such as 9/11 or the Holocaust.

@Hego I must have missed it. Thank you for the correction!
Re: EA Games: Publishers Pushing PS4 Remasters Have Run Out of Ideas

Re: Can Your Wallet Survive the Latest NA PS Store Flash Sale?
Yeah the only things that interest me I already have. Still, a survival sale and no The Last Of Us? They really are holding that one close.

Re: Review: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 (PS4)
@blah01 Nah I didn't buy it and I probably won't it just doesn't look bad enough for a zero.

@blah01 True, but it's not unplayable.
Re: What's Hideo Kojima Doing with PS4 Maker Mark Cerny?
I would actually play Knack 2 if Kojima were involved. Hell, I would buy "Action 53: A Hideo Kojima Game" in a heartbeat.

Re: Rumour: BioShock Collection Steps into PS4's Bathysphere
I don't care what they add or exclude, Bioshock will look NUTS on PS4.
Re: You Could Have Been Playing Destiny 2 Later This Month

Re: Destiny's Game-Changing 2.0 Patch Is Out Now
I've too many adventures to be had in the Middle East right now, sorry.

Re: Guide: How to Get S-Ranks in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain on PS4

Re: Activision Demands Your Milk Money with Deadpool PS4 Port
I'll watch the cutscenes on youtube, thanks though.
Re: Resident Evil Origins Collection Collates Two Classics on PS4
It's nice that Capcom is coming back, of course, but it's unfortunate that they have to keep releasing the same games in order to do it.

Re: SNES Smash Super Star Wars Heading to PS4
Nice, owned these on SNES but never played them because when it came to difficulty, young-me was a baby.
Re: Weirdness: The Ouye Is the Ultimate PS4 Rip Off
@SteveButler2210 You're kind to respond to that, but it was part of the joke.
Re: Review: Zombi (PS4)
I am so glad this got a good score. I thought it was super underrated as a survival horror game and I am happy more people will get to experience it.
Re: Rumour: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End to Explore PS4 on 9th March
That'll give me time to play through the rest of the series quick.
