Come to think of it, I didn't do much with the ships in the North Atlantic in AC: Rogue, and barely managed to scrape by a few missions. I wonder if I'd have more fun with it now that I've played Black Flag.

Wanna know the real reason I thought of this series, despite never having played it before? Cause that developer woman Jade Raymond is soo0 beuwtifel..!!! She's gotta be the hawtest developer woman in the history of developer women....
Is her gheymes really on par with me clone dad's (Kojima) gheymes?!? Actually I just started trying out the first game because of this topic (bought long ago but left shrink wrapped on the shelf for ages). Impressive environments, especially for the time - a real Gen 7 technical showcase... But the gameplay... hmmm... Prince of Persia on automatic... and more than just a tad violent... And the premise - you're playing a video gheyme inside a video gheyme??

leaon79s this game series is pretty much the reason why Prince of Persia failed.

It's a series with up and downs, more downs than ups if you ask me. I guess the main problem that I have with them is that they haven't fixed jackall gameplay wise, the same exploits and cluncky climbing controls have been in every game in the series, also I personally think the plot has gone downhill after Ass 2 by which I mean the stories of each game afterwards are so poorly written they almost feel rushed
Plus I would argue that it has been milked to dead by now, the series was supossed to end with the third one and even then more games are still coming out (although I must admit Black Flag was the best in the series in my opinion)

leaon79s this game series is pretty much the reason why Prince of Persia failed. As I understand it, Assassin's Creed started off development as what was supposed to be the next Prince of Persia, but eventually evolved into its own thing, ultimately becoming PoP's replacement & spiritual successor. Lamentable as that likely means little chance of more Prince of Persias for the foreseeable future, and more's the pity because it's an older more respectable brand with deeper rooted tradition. That Jordan Mechner must be dissapointed with what his brainchild has become... Heil, I just realized the first AC was released on my birthday and I still don't care all that much for it (yet)... I'm just hoping I can hold interest long enough till I get to 4 which everyone says is the best...

The next AC for 2017 is set in Egypt isn't it? Getting closer to approaching PoP's territory and showing even less chance of that series coming back.

Been progressing with the first one. Damn the game is easy... It's like you can't lose! And the strategy's the same all the time - just counter kill, or throw them then finish them off while they're down... oh... The game is rather satisfying got to give it that. Nothing like taking on a whole regimen of crusaders and killing them all off one by one single handedly... Then when the last guy's running off scared chasing him down for the concealed blade finish... So this is how it feels like to kill the infidels! It's... Pretty Good!!! (I do not condone this gratuitous violence - although it does help one in understanding somewhat a bit of the psychology of evil if nothing else...)But it's very monotonous. After you've killed your 100th soldier, saved your 30th citizen, and climbed your upteenth watchtower... If there's nothing more to this game than killing Christians & Muslims alike, then climbing up one watchtower after another... As pretty as the environment and cities are... Bland is bland...

I never knew about that, but it's nice to see that some people out there choose to work with stuff that isn't the obvious choice for them.
