    Do you write for the Guardian per chance?

    If not, this woman agrees: CLICK!

    i can categorically say that is the first time i've been asked that q. heheh

    No btw.....

    Not at all. It's not even the best game in the series. AC:2 is better in my opinion.

    But they are great games, don't get me wrong. Just not the best ever


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,259 ✭✭✭alb


    Uncharted 2 is better.

    What? Is there something wrong with your keyboard? :rolleyes:


    The Assassin's Creed games are good, even the first one had moments of brilliance, but they are nowhere near the greatest games ever made.

    Nor for that matter is that thing called COD, a truly horrible experience from a shamelessly greedy publisher.

    Skipped the fúcking credits in AC3 and didn't get my gold trophy :(

    Well this thread will soon become a flame war ;).

    I would have to disagree.

    In terms of story I would say Braid or Shadow of the Colossus are the best hands down. They are actually original and their stories are not just re-hashes of sci-fi or fantasy clichés detached from the gameplay, their stories ARE THE GAMEPLAY. The gameplay and the stories are interwoven to such an extent that neither makes sense without the other. IMO they offer a glimpse at what the medium can achieve once it detaches itself from films and books.

    In terms of pure gameplay I would have to say Supreme Commander FA is my favorite. Every battle is so epic you find hard to go back to conventional RTS titles. HOLY **** I JUST BUILT A BOMBER 1KM LONG THAT DROPS A BOMB THAT ENGULFS ISLANDS. The supply+demand freeflow economy was mentally stimulating and made the usual tedious macro mechanics of titles such as starcraft and C&C seem so dated. Pity they neutered the game with the sequel.

    ACB is way too the same to AC2, why didnt they make it in the Victionarn times or World War 1 era


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 10,520 Mod ✭✭✭✭5uspect


    Because AC:B is just AC2.1. The new game is probably going to be a similar inbetweenquel. An AC3, will probably be in a different era with a different character. It may even just be about Desmond.

    Good game? Yup. Best game ever? **** no.

    Indeed, the concept of a 'best game ever' is an absurdity. Favourite game ever, now there's another one.

    And in any case, the best game ever is Persona 4 ;)

    Assassin's Creed:Brotherhood - Best Game Ever?

    No.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,166 ✭✭✭Beefy78


    So if I were to start on this series, unsure whether I'd get through all three games, should I play the first two first or go straight for this one?

    My favourite game ever is Metal Gear Solid 3, btw.

    Start with 1st one, definitely.

    The first one has horrible repetitive segments before each assassination. You have to gather intel on your target by eavesdropping, pickpocketing, etc. These are awful and are repeated for every mission.

    The assassinations themselves are great set pieces tho.

    Assassins Creed Brotherhood: Has way more to do but is too easy to complete and kill.Has great story line but has a few some silly costumes.Overall 8/10.

    Assassins Creed II:Has a good storeyline but is again quite easy to complete and with less to do.It does have some great graphics and locations though.Overall 7/10.

    Assassins Creed I: Also has a brilliant storyline with a great main character,Altair. Can get very very frustrating as is quite repedative and character can't do some simple actions (Eg.swim). Overall 7/10.

    Overall it is a truly brilliant series well worth the play!!!:D

    Persona 4??? That's absurd.... :D


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,386 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Persona 4 is amazing. Don't be knocking it. Would be up there with my best games.

    Anyway Assassin's Creed Brotherhood won't be getting to the top of any best game ever lists as long as Super Metroid exists :P

    FF VII has been out for a long time now...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,057 ✭✭✭Krusader


    You're right, did a quick search there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 282 ✭✭macpac26


    I thought AC2 was better than Brotherhood, much better story and engaged me more. Plus I platinumed it :)

    Best game? No. Hard to say really I still think Uncharted 2 is the best PS3 game so far overall.


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,526 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Far from it. It's enjoyable enough, but in fairness the controls are fairly shocking, particularly if you need any sort of urgency while free running. For this reason I think the race missions you do with the thieves are most likely a sadistic joke on the part of the developers.

    Anyone pick this up for PS3? Is the framerate meant to be a nausea-inducing mess?

    AC2 was fine on PS3 so I don't get why this is so horrible to play


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 10,520 Mod ✭✭✭✭5uspect


    Doesn't seem too bad:

    Anyway 30fps is piss poor compared to the glorious PC...

    Come on - everyone knows COD online sucks. Battlefield is a better online game. I've played both; have you?

    The plot in half life 1 and 2 is better than ass creed..:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 96 ✭✭Old McGroin


    Gears Of War 1 & 2 for their online Co-op and Horde mode, Uncharted 2 for single player story and immersion, not much of a competitive online player but Black Ops had me for a while there! Scratch that, Battlefield Modern Combat on the 360 back in 2006 (I think) was savage online!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,335 ✭✭✭✭UrbanSea


    Uncharted 2 is hands down the best game I've ever played.

    Uncharted 2 is a great game alright, but I finished it in 2 days and, because the multiplayer is crap, I had no other reason to go back to it, good thing I had only borrowed it from my brother!
