That said, I've only ever played a bit of the first AC games, read some of the novels and seen the movie, so I'm neutral about it.
I'm pretty sure that's more than most people can say. Although I guess I'm in the same boat, I read practically all the Halo novels before even touching my first Halo game (and ended up hating it).
OT: Anthem looks amazing. But that's the problem, it only
looks amazing. This strafe-in-circles, open area, jump around-y shooting ala-Mass Effect Andromeda is just tiring. The world does look interesting though and the graphics are incredible, but between the gameplay and the coop nature of it, I'm not sold.
AssCreed Whateveritisnow looks pretty shit. It looks exactly the same, except in Egypt which is undeniably cool. But the stealth looks exactly the same, the parkour isn't nearly as interesting as it was years ago, and the combat looks worse. That last bit in the gameplay demo with arrow was fucking hilarious.
The Last Night looks amazing, but it's not really my thing.
Crackdown 3... Oh dear.
Everything else in Microsoft's show were games we already knew were coming out and some other stuff that I have zero interest in.
In my opinion, Sony is going to have to work real hard to fuck up after EA and Microsoft's shows.
