Yeah, Mordor got boring really really fast. Mostly because outside of the novelty of the Nemesis system, the world was dull as hell.

Briggs would have been a perfect protagonist to have. gently caress Sam Fisher. Dude went from looking like he was in his upper 40s to lower 50s to looking like he was 32 years old. All so that he could be some oorah lets go stop the terrorists true American patriot.
They actually have some fun with Sam's age in the games as well. Not to the degree of Solid Snake throwing out his back, but some delightfully snarky radio chatter. While this video is gimmicky and obnoxious it hits a lot on the head. The FPS section also, what the hell were they thinking?

Seriously Mordor owned and puts AC to shame.

But I think a better way to put it is AC Unity had the unfortunate timing of ever coming out

ditto. It's up there with Just Cause and like every other mid-80s-on-metacritic open world game for me. Aidan is a terrible character but the game mechanics are all fun so IDGAF about the fact that you're autistic batman.

Oh I'm not calling it a lovely game at all, I had a lot of fun with it for a playthrough. I just didn't find much motivation to play it once the story was over, because there was no challenge in combat and the Nemesis orcs began repeating themsselves.

Mordor was pretty cool and way better than it had any right to be but i just sort of got bored and stopped playing it after a couple of hours, i know they give you cool powers or something that makes the game more interesting later but they really should have handed that out faster. Also the story wasn't interesting.

I make a profit of three and a quarter cents an egg by selling them for four and a quarter cents an egg to the people in Malta I buy them from for seven cents an egg. Of course, I don't make the profit. The syndicate makes the profit. And everybody has a share.
Watch dogs paid the ultimate price for being so very boring.

Assassins creed 2 is a great game and it's also the last one whose plot i thought was cool. Plus you hug Leo Divinci. Yes. You do.

Black flag was pretty great but they ignored the easy money and didn't use the system to make sid miers pirates 2. For that alone they should be put out of business and whipped until they start work on sid miers pirates 2.

shadows of mordor was cool but everybody wishes they'd done more. shadows of skyrim ii the head lopping could have been a real thing.

farycry 4 is probably fine, people love those theme park fps's.

I've been debating picking up Driver San Fransisco since people keep saying it's a good game. Does it have Oculus Rift support? It would be neat to expand the library of the oculus rift at the uni lab from just having Eurotruck Simulator 2.

Downloaded Blood Dragon on Steam.

Installed it, it then says 'opening Uplay to play this game' :pwn:

Then Uplay downloaded and updated itself immediately :pwn:

Uplay opened and its updated interface needed to download another update :pwn:

Then when I selected Blood Dragon to play from inside Uplay, it says 'opening Steam to play this game' :pwn:

I'm not even joking about any of this
Did this but with AC2 but instead of opening Steam at the end, all I got was this..


Thank you ubisoftsucks.
