Man, I only wish I had the energy to be angry about a video game company! You know, time is the most valuable resource on the planet, and if you want to waste yours by being angry and bitter about video games, I do pity you.
Does anyone else find it highly ironic that all these people complaining about the Internet being required are people who are complaining on ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ the Internet?
Um, what? What are you talking about? Switch 2 sales are still ahead of the original Switch ā you know - that machine that has well over a hundred million sold?
Interesting! Iām immediately thinking RedRiot193 is correct. As I recall the the mocap was decreased after Syndicate (for whatever reasons). When I get home, Iām going to take a look at those three games in motion and see.
Unfortunately Iām not unbiased as Unity is my favorite in the series - you just canāt beat its parkour AND combat - killer game. I even actually liked Arno and the way the Assassins/Templars conflict was presented through his relationship with Elise.
Absolute rubbish! Sony just pulled PC ports from itās future portfolio. Itās learned its lesson from observing the success of the Switch. PS6 will come when Sony is darn good and ready to release it. MS is no threat AT ALL any longer. PSSR 2.0 hasnāt even released yet! PS5 Pro IS the new Sony console for the next 2-3 years.
And none of those concerns exist for those of us who play our Switch 2 docked 99% of the time and have the disposable income to where owning one is not an issue. Donāt get me wrong! Iām a PlayStation fanboy through and through, but the Switch 2 is a pretty cool little piece of kit.
Really? The cons are that it has the same shooting & looting mechanics that (due to this series) literally defined the genre? AND a personal preference about the UI design? I understand the performance knock - well deserved. But the other two points make no objective sense.
And in the pros you forgot to add in all the improvements in traversal mechanics. There are a lot of them.
Thanks. Would you mind being more specific what it is about each of those criteria that you did not care for? In other words, what was it about the behavior that bothered you? What was it about the attitude that bothered you? What was it about the looks that bothered you?
Hmmm. If they actually follow through with adding in modern day, I may have to rethink my stance on not getting Shadows (1st AC Iāve ever passed on).
I've played every AC through Valhalla. I can't take another giant RPG collectathon. I WANT to play an AC game - but not like this anymore. Especially with NO modern day to speak of.
Yeah - might be the best game Iāve ever played. That game was so emotionally draining and the gameplay was so tight that when it was all over, I didnāt even pick up a controller for six months.
You mean to tell me that the parkour designed to get around in the vast open world and period correct architecture of feudal Japan feels different than the parkour designed for the cramped city streets in Mirage? I canāt believe it! Who wouldāve thought!
It will not. Different audiences. There will be tons of people owning both systems. Exclusives still matter - especially console exclusives. Have you seen God of War Ragnarok? The Switch 2 will never be able to come close to that level of visual fidelity.
Switch vs. PS4 - what interest does Sony have in continuing to develop for it all? Right. None. Switch - how many are still in use every day? And itās Nintendoās current gen system. This doesnāt seem that hard to figure out.
So many Nostradamuses on this website. Itās AC. It will sell despite the weird desires expressed here hoping it will fail. It wonāt. I used to be a big AC fan. Played all on release from 2 forwards. Valhalla burned me out and I never finished it. Waiting for Mirage to drop in price and maybe Iāll try it.
