Assassin's Creed

Fuck Yes.
The brother and I went out and picked this up at GameStop earlier, and so far it's been fucking  .

The combat might get a bit tedius as the game wears on, but the semi-open endedness of being able to stab whoever I want sells it for me, stealth pays but not in a 'Shoot out every single lightbulb or pretend to be a cardboard box' way, and it's not nearly as tedius as I thought it'd be reading the manual on the ride home.

Just finished block 2, starting 3 in the morning, but so far I'm *extremely* pleased.

On a side note, stay the fuck away from the conan game for ps3, it plays like a bag of wet shit, and they couldn't bother to find an austrian for Conan's voicework.  I'm sorry, but Arnold IS fucking Conan, and will forever be Conan, fucking deal with it.

is supposed to be a smiley of mockery. It doesn't mean Awesome For Real. But other than that, I agree.

Talk more about Ass C, schild.

Tell me what I need to know.

[Nerf]

It may be the smile of mockery, but the smiley itself is actually awesome for real, so I stand by my original assessment.

I should be able to toss a solid 9 hours into it today, lets hope I still think as highly of it, but it doesn't look like they're going to take away my ability to stab a motherfucker, so I doubt it.

I read your sentence as "It's awesome for real" instead of mockery, so, YAY! I'm also loving the fuck out of this game. When the puppeteer controls work 110% the way you want them to, it's fucking beautiful. There was nothing cooler than running towards a drop, jumping off the wall and stabbing a guy in the face. My only complaint is that you can't actually initiate an assassination kill from a ledge above someone without some tricky on the controls of the game or unless you jump off something pre-stab motherfucking.

I just have to kill my mark to finish memory block 3. The flag achievements are killing me. I want to just run through the entire city scouring every inch of it to find them. I've found 75/100 King Richard flags, so I'm almost there on that one, but I'm running out of places to look for more flags.

[Nerf]

Just finished block 4, should have the whole wrapped up by tomorrow evening.

So far it just keeps getting better and better, altho I've stopped doing every single sidequest and citizen save, they're just too fucking repetitive.

I also am purposely avoiding flag collection, because I know that if I get up to about 80 or so, I'm going to spend the next 4 days of my life mapping out the entire game by quadrant to find the missing ones, and I don't think you get anything special for doing it, so fuck em.

Edit: I did actually get all the scarabs in Ninja Gaiden, but that's because I got a fucking lightsaber, totally worth it, or at least, it would've been if I could've carried it into the next difficulty mode, instead of using it for 1 fight.
