ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome links, Stefan.
Thanks for turning me on to Cracked. That place is a massive time waste with awesome content.
ReplyDeleteBuy AC4 and be done with it. I know AC3 was a beating from pretty much start to finish (When I say finish I mean the point at which I grew tired of Connor and the real life lessons they were trying to shove down my throat and just quit playing), but AC4 is exactly what that review said. It's absurd, but awesome. How often in real life do you have the chance, much less the want, to air assassinate an ocelot? Fear not because AC4 affords you that opportunity in spades along with dozens of other rare and endangered animals. Ever wanted to hate-spear Shamu for getting salt water in your drink while sitting in the splash zone? You get your chance here.
On top of that the pirating itself is just plain fun. It's Sid Meir's Pirates but more girtty and syphilisy with a lot more blood and death. I'm not sure either is all that realistic, but that's not why I'm playing. I'm playing because it's a bunch of fun. Since I've purchased this game I sing those damn sea shanties in my head all day and for some reason I don't want to hurt myself because of it.
The normal AC vs. Templar stuff is still there, but Kenway's character is much more true to life in that he's in it for him, not some noble goal. Quite frankly that's refreshing in an AC game as we saw Altair and Ezio give most of their lives to the struggle and whatever Conner did (TBSP - too boring, stopped playing - if his story adds anything then please feel free to see it as an argument in my favor).
In closing, as this got out of hand, buy the game and be happy and prepare to sing "Leave her, Johnny" or "The Dead Horse" all damn day in your head. I'm happy to have a good AC game again.
Thanks a lot! I think I'll consider it for the christmas break.
