being a girl is just sad sometimes (a lot of the time)
2008
it looks really cool and has strong vibes. really that's all you need in a video game. if there's cool monsters and fucked up music while people say really scary things to you that's just what a video game should be.
huge fan of when the resident cool guy becomes a grumpy old man. nothing funnier than seeing this ~60 year old dude do incredibly sick stunts with his new hookblade. i think the city is one of ac's best, really tightly made and mobile in a perfectly stylized way.
this one owns, a big map that understands it's gotta use that size for something, mixing fields and city really well. had a really good moment i think of all the time where i ran up to a grate and tried to press the usual B button on xbox for opening doors and it didn't work, because the grate was low and you had to press A to kick it open. miss when assassin's creed was tied to body positions to allow moments like that.
This review contains spoilers
this one feels like everything bad about assassin's creed lumped together. it tries to rush through character building and dialogue and therefore totally fails to let you connect with anyone while the city is just too big and full of so much stuff that's incredibly pointless. you have a big fatal duel with your mentor (who's been onscreen for maximum ten minutes and only calls you 'pisspot') and it just cuts past any sort of fallout from that and he's never mentioned again.
2007
this game is easily the best one, probably in part to being based on a real book with actual themes. it's small, it's tight, there's some really incredible fixed camera angles in it.
2001
being a total pushover of a boy slowly forced to become a real person in the world by your mean evil shadow is so good. the art is sick. the world is fun. its a pretty breezy ps2 rpg what cant you enjoy.
2001
this game is so good. the movement and camera controls are incredible for building atmosphere, and the fixed camera makes me miss when games used fix camera so much. the amount of times it cuts to a new angle to focus on a scary ghost walking down a different hallway is incredible and it works every time.
2000
this game has a lot of the obvious tells of themes that would become a lot more focused in later type moon stuff but it's still good! i think the mystic eyes of death perception are an all time sick ability and arcueid rules. more vampire girls should just be dumb and like eating french fries imo
video games shouldn't be this long. i would have so much more affection if this was just a pretty empty ghibli movie because then at least it'd only be like ninety minutes.
2020
ppl shouldn't be allowed to use voice chat in video games unless they pass a nice test where you have to be nice online
2017
i think if i could play any sport i would choose to play magical basketball with a group of friendly outcasts from society trying to use their connections to forcibly revolutionize society
whats better than this. guys bein dudes. spending a pretty sad summer with some good friends and doing odd jobs without any real advice for how the systems interact or what you're supposed to do feels good.
2018
fuck dude gender and love and revolution really do be like that
2014
i think more video games should have sword boyfriends and/or girlfriends.
