I don't even recognize him without his hat!

I'm a total fanboy of Mass Effect. I loved nearly every minute of the series. I've gone through the first game 9 times, the second game 6 times, and the third game 5 times (with 300 hours devoted to the multiplayer).

What I really liked about Ezio was how much development he had as a character. You meet him as a young man and finally leave him as a decaying veteran. The same arch through a pair of games could very well have existed for Connor too (I'd have loved to see him end up in France during the French Revolution - for…

That's a fair point. However I think they kept Haytham tightly under wraps because they genuinely wanted people to be surprised by both the character and the revelation that he was a Templar. I saw through it pretty quickly, but a good friend of mine was blown away by the revelation. So it's hard to say whether or not…

Pretty much this. I bought the game after seeing all the zombies and thinking how awesome that was - only to find out the game was an utter chore to play. I don't think I made it beyond the one hour mark.

It's an interesting perspective because I for one found Haytham a lot more interesting than Connor. I felt that he was developed in a way that overshadowed Connor and sort of downgraded his character as a result. Obviously, the game is called Assassin's Creed for a reason, but how interesting would it be if they had a…

I think Connor's real problem is that he exists in Ezio's shadow. We got to see Ezio's entire life as an assassin play out before us, from someone that had no idea about the world to someone that would become the undisputed leader of it. He was charismatic in the first few titles and slowly became this Batman-like…

It seems pretty clear that, according to the new policies, they don't have a right to say it. At least not on Youtube. They can of course still say that anywhere they want but this kind of speech needs to carry with it the proper consequences. Hiding on the internet shield them from that consequence.

Your stupid and your face is stupid!

It's true, not all comments are racial insults. However the internet WILL be a better place if we have a way to marginalize the comments that are. As it is they make reading any comments incredibly pointless. They aren't there to open a debate. They aren't there to argue from a particular viewpoint. They exist for…

Yes...?

It's still no excuse to act like a child, sorry.

Don't get me started on publisher expectations vs. actual sales. That's a whole other debate - and with a game that's coming out towards the end of a console generation, one that's hard to get into. Regardless, I said successful series, not successful game. Even then sales don't actually equate to quality, otherwise…

So your complaint is that a successful series now has a budget behind it?

Video games are not a charity. They exist only to make money. Even your most niche titles don't continue on as niche titles if they didn't garner some kind of a profit.

Shepard...

I had the exact opposite reaction regarding Kaiden. Kaiden is Carth! Carth is an annoying whiny little ass!

This may come as a surprise to you but games aren't made just for you. That's fine if you don't want to give it a chance. I can respect that opinion. But the fact still remains that they listened to the backlash from Conviction and managed to find the best of both worlds.

You must have missed the fact that there's a perfectionist difficulty which doesn't allow your sonar to see through walls, doesn't allow you to execute guys using mark and execute, enhances the enemy AI, and doesn't allow you to perform a takedown on enemies except from the side or back.

So you refused to play it and yet call it dull and boring. Ok... You complain about the story as if the series has ever had interesting plots to it, while Blacklist manages to cater to multiple play-styles. It's one of the few games I felt compelled to beat on the highest difficulty.
