If I may, can I ask a couple anyway?Solnishka said:Assassins Creed 1 and Last Remnant. Hands down. No questions asked.
You surely may ask. To say that I hate Assassin's Creed is an overstatement. The question was worst game I played, not game I hated the most. I didn't like the controls. They were hard to master. Not impossible, but hard. But what really turned me away was the story line. Jerky, fragmented memories of a character I had no reason to care about, living vicariously as a character I had equal reason not to care about. I was not immersed in the story, dying to find out every next detail, unraveling a mystery of story, character, or place. It just seemed tedious, and waste of my time. I found my self constantly checking my phone for messages, playing with my ipod, or doing a million other things, but not focusing on the game.Anchupom said:If I may, can I ask a couple anyway?Solnishka said:Assassins Creed 1 and Last Remnant.

First - why did you hate playing Assassins Creed 1?
Second - Did you like any of the other Assassins Creed games?

To answer your second question, I have not played any of the other Assassin's Creed games. But not because of my poor experience with Assassins's Creed 1. Merely because I do not own them, and don't have the extra income to purchase them at this time. If hypothetically a friend were to lend me a copy of the second title, I would give the game a fair play through and consideration.
Thanks for the forewarning. Most of the people (friends) that had previously heard my complains would usually dismiss me with something like, "Oh, the second one is way better."Anchupom said:Those are fair enough points - I personally found the story engaging, but then again that's why I'm me and not anyone else. And even though Assassins Creed is one of my favourite games, I did find the controls a little... Odd.
Brief warning though - if you were hypothetically lent any of the other games, I wouldn't expect you to enjoy them much more than the first. Gameplay is similar albeit refined, as is usually the norm with sequels, and half of the plot continues from the first. The "in the past" bit is slightly better in ACII, but declines a little in Brotherhood.
Communication is much better if you're both trying to have a conversation that doesn't end up in one of you stating the other's opinion is "wrong".Solnishka said:Thanks for the forewarning.

I'm sure that some where in there is a great story to tell, and a great concept, but some where along the line, it was translated in a way that just doesn't speak to me.
And I don't think it gets said enough, so I would like to thank you, Anchupom for responding and having a reasoned conversation about the topic. Makes me happy inside, and think that there is hope for future generations on this world.
