And then there's the whole "not resolved until AC: Revelations" bit. Which it largely is.

That good, huh? I really liked RDR's story; even though it was about as dark as a black hole.Drewsov wrote:Max Payne 3
I was pretty much blown away. This is a graphically violent game that deals with some very mature themes, namely that there are ramifications for living a life of violence and addiction. Much of it is hard to watch as a spectator, because it's so brutal. But the gameplay is compelling and the story propulsive. The sneer in Max's words has never left over all these years; he's still bitter, still haunted, thousands of miles from home.
This is one of Rockstar's best games. Many of the issues it deals with are dealt with in Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto 4. That's okay. The same guy wrote all three games, and it's easy to see what compels him. A writer will explore similar themes over the course of his career. Still, it's hard to not see the three as part of a gritty thematic suite, when the smoke has cleared and Max leaves Sao Paulo.

Uhhh... they still make great games. Including Final Fantasy 12 and 13.blacksinow wrote:You mean, when they actually HAD imagination and talent?
Yeah, I never could understand what was going on in the future. Imo, they should just stop the madness and stay in the past; though, an AC set in the future would be pretty awesome.GarthVader wrote:Assassin's Creed II.
Liked it, but it was starting to get a tad old. And that ending was just plain weird.
Same here. Meh, I kinda love the historicalness (yes, I jus' made a word) of the previous Assassin's Creed. I could really care less about what goes on in Desmond's world, honestly.

Guys, you've gotta play Brotherhood and Revelations. And you've gotta do the Subject 16 stuff in each game. It explains everything a ton.GarthVader wrote:Assassin's Creed II.

I've seen some of it, but I still think the story is convoluted. Problem is, it's waaaayyy too late to just give up on Desmond's story. I just hope they wrap it up well.Drewsov wrote:Guys, you've gotta play Brotherhood and Revelations. And you've gotta do the Subject 16 stuff in each game. It explains everything a ton.
