I agree. When I first started the game the combat system really threw me off. I was frustrated with the point and click combat style in the game. It was kind of like playing NWN1. But after spending more hours into the game it felt easier. I think it was the sheer story that riveted me into the game strongly.

I always love a good storyline. However, the combat mechanics are equally important for me. These days, I seem to be less patient with games which don't have proper control scheme and/or a easily adaptable combat system. Part of the reason, why I'm hesitant to play The Witcher, despite loving the shit out of it's sequel. Not to mention, August line-up will kick-off soon enough. So no point in picking up any RPG's now, as they would need way too much time invested in them.
 
@Ethan_Hunt: OMG! I felt the same with Witcher 1. I mean I started the game and then as soon as I was thrust into the combat sequences it got weird. I was not enjoying it even one bit. But you mention that you've played the sequel... could I like take up the sequel and understand it having not playing the first installment at all?

You haven't played the sequel? Before @ALPHA17 swoops in, put aside any game that you're playing, and yeah, I mean Need for Speed: The Run that you just began and start The Witcher 2 right now. I see you have a very good gaming rig, so this game will work marvelously. Grab the enhanced edition and you'll be in for the ride of your life. Visit it's dedicated thread, where me and Abhay had discussed it to great lengths.

On second thought, don't! :ph34r:

We need to get those spoilers fixed up. I'll sit down over the weekend and try to fix mine up. Anyway, @Black_Hawk you'll need to take our word for it. Also, this trailer should be enough to convince you to start the game (at least it did for me):


and regarding the storyline, don't worry, you'll have enough resources within the game to not feel disjointed with the events. Although, you will have more questions, but nothing which can't be answered online. ;)

Black_Hawk You haven't played Witcher 2 also. :facepalm: OMG! I dunno whether to laugh or curse you. So many titles Ha Ha..Abhay you must be irritated that a member hasn't played W2. :bleh: Force him!
 
finished heavenly swords recently and i loved the game. The storyline was fine but the combat was grt and loved the way the game hip hopped between kai and nariko's gameplay.

Started AC1 a month ago and i have dragged myself to my console n number of times so tht i may find something tht will interest me but i am dissapointed. Would be selling it off.
Any recommendations ? I love playing games with great storyline and game mechanics. :)

Witcher 2 i have to start. First need to get my hand on the game.

P.S : i am on PS3. dayn no witcher fr me. Gonna asemble my PC soon. Hope it will run on it.
 
Completed Assassin's Creed: Revelations. Was disappointed with the gameplay. Story line was ok. This is not how you end a series. Ubisoft has minted off of this franchise. :|

Starting The Darkness 2 now.
 
@Ethan_Hunt, @ALPHA17 and @Altair: Thank-you, mates!! Just saw the trailer and my opinion: Yes, most definitely I'll be taking up Witcher 2!! The music in the trailer made it feel even more grand. Presently I'm not getting those long hours of gameplay due to more work at my shop but that should clear up within a few days time and then I'll have ample time and peace of mind to get into Witcher 2 with a good dedication that a RPG like this deserves.

No! I just got it for PC. That's not good news, what's wrong with it?

It is not such a great REVELATION, infact the game I feels became over-ambitious and added many new features, game-play fixtures that I [and many others] did not enjoy.

Also characters did not feel even, some were good others not so good and few should not be there in the game.

Ezio Auditore's story should have ended with BROTHERHOOD. Fine game that was.

Hope Assassin's Creed III is fun and fresh like II was, hoping that the story arc ends with a shining spark and beautiful memories.

@Ethan_Hunt I have patched most of the broken SPOILER's, please edit out the ones that are integrated in your posts and point out any stuff that needs to go under the rug.

Regards,
ALPHA17

Is that reason why my notification box is beaming with quote alerts? I'll run a sweep and get mine rectified as well.

Also, I have a bit more to address on your view for Assassin's Creed Revelation. I'll get back to you on that once I reach home.

EDIT: Done! All busted spoiler tags taken care of. It's odd how the new spoiler tags are and it's odd, as I can't seem to view them after I had applied it. :23:
 
Completed The Darkness 2. Nice, short and fun. :D Wondering what to start now. I think I'll start LA Noire.

I think my words portrayed I was very disappointed, when in reality not so much. :P It was definitely better than Brotherhood, which was a drag and extended DLC of ACII. :|
I felt the gameplay was mediocre and there weren't any exciting missions. Also, dunno if it's just me, but I found the difficulty level easier than the previous titles, nothing seemed to be a challenge. :S

The story was decent and they did a nice job of merging Ezio and Altair's memories. But most part just seemed a bit meh. I honestly was bored of Ezio. His character should have been put to rest in ACII itself or Brotherhood like ALPHA17 mentioned. Oh and even though the title is Revelations, nothing was revealed. :| There was nothing going on in the current day world, it was all just old memories, most of everything which is already known. A lot of things left hanging and the ending was just abrupt and weird. :|
 
People are free to express their views.There is nothing wrong.But i would like to add revelations was the best.I have not played brotherhood.But i found it even better than ACII.Btw revelations does reveals many things or atleast something.Just you have to decode the message.

Roger, just checked, seems every SPOILER tag needs to have an individual title otherwise the system just makes a hash out of it.

As long as the secrets are covered we can have a re-discussion on topic and you can add your views because I have yet to play Roche's path with the enhanced edition patch and all.

P.S. -- Good morning

It did not add anything to what I did not know about Ezio's life it just felt an extended addendum that UBISOFT created to milk the series till it finishes this particular story arc.

I already had gathered most of Altàir's story from the fragmented manuscripts I found about him whilst playing Assassin's Creed II.

And I was not interested in Desmond's whiny story, the only interesting topic that was actually revealed was SUBJECT 16's whereabouts. I think he will make a comeback in Assassin's III [in Desmond's head].

True. Will give it a go sometime next month.
DeusEx platinum run is keeping me busy at the moment, and was also reminded by your pic that MSG4 disc has been lying around. Really have to stop this urge of procuring discs even before completing the ongoing ones. :-)
 
Halfway through ME3. Reinstalling ME2 so that I can play with the imported saves from ME1 and then replay ME3. Also installed AC: Revelations which I bought @ steam summer sale along with trine 2.
1st Aug, and back to work. :( :)
