I've got just a few days left at work, which is pretty fucking awesome, although I never realized how exhausting it could be to train a replacement. I trained new file clerks at the law firm when I was bumped up to project assistant, but there was something fundamentally different about that whole experience: namely, that I would be around if ( Read more... )

Skipping over spoilers in case I ever play it to ask: have you guys played Assassin's Creed? *_* That is my new series of love and also love. I just started the second one, which was obviously made just for me (upgrading the villa! how did they know I wanted this!?!) but I have NO ONE to squee with since I am a million years late to this bandwagon.

<3 YAY. I'm am bummed about the first one, because Altair obviously got shafted in terms of game design. Roaming the cities was fun, but all the missions are really repetitive, especially if you play straight through. I made it to the end, purely on my need for bantering with Malik. Altair is still my favorite, but it's pretty obvious that the other games are going to be way more fun.

I am really liking AC2, even though I think Ezio's character arc is proving to be way less interesting: prodigal son's fall from grace vs prodigal's revenge adventure... HM. If only they would let me go harass Leonardo WHENEVER I WANT.

AHAHAH I know, right?? I loooooved Altair so much, but the gameplay became exactly as you said: repetitive and frustrating control system, to the point I got really bored.

*hee* It took me a while to warm up to Ezio, but I grew fond of him. Still, I wish there was more AC versions about Altair!!! Because he was pretty and fascinating and I loved his accent, unnggghhh. /shameless Altair fangirling

Skipping spoilers, but omg I just came off of Dragon Age 2 (replaying it for new storylines) and this sounds really fun! There's not a lot of FPS-style gun shooting, is there? I don't mind 3rd person gun-shooting. :D

Thank you for posting about this! What with PS Network being dead for the past few months, I've been kinda coasting when it comes to new gaming joy. :D

Agreed about all the love for Assassin's Creed. Over at my place we've played thru all three and the second and third are awesome. I keep thinking that I want to play LA Noire but wish it was somehow a bit more fantasy. such a near contemporary setting and besides, isn't it a lot like Mafia II?
