I enjoy them for what they are.

It's one of my favourite games.As an Assassin's Creed game it's pretty weak (the assassin story isn't focused on very much), but as an overall game it's bloody brilliant.What do you like so much about it?The charactersThe way the characters act and interactThe naval combat (taking on a lot of ships and the legendary ships was a lot of fun)The game worldGreat looking environmentsSailing across a huge open sea and listening to the shantiesWhat about the gameplay? It's my major complaint so far.

Yes. It's one of my favourite games.As an Assassin's Creed game it's pretty weak (the assassin story isn't focused on very much), but as an overall game it's bloody brilliant.
The gameplay has always been my main complaint with the AC series. I really can't stand how simplified it all feels, and even then it isn't always perfect. I'd write down some of the things I don't like, but it would derail the thread too much. You're right ont he environments and setting though. Really nicely done.
spoke to my friend who has seen it. everything kiyo said is true

Not my type of movie and reviews are confirming exactly what I already feared / expected. Might torrent it in a few months, but I can't say I care much.All the reviews were positive thoTwo major Belgian outlets rated the movie a 0.5 and 1.5 out of 5 stars, going as far as calling the movie "a terrible failure, an overwhelming disappointment and the coldest movie shower of the year so far." They criticized the heavily convoluted plot, overly chaotic action scenes, boring bad guys, predictability and lacking verbal interaction between the cast. That Whedon's talent as a director, clearly shown by Serenity, Firefly and Cabin in the Woods, fell victim to the "Ridley Scott-disease", as in the abandoning of talented simplicity for CGI and impersonal action. Too much action becomes boring and gets in the way of any involvement you feel.While they praised certain scenes / dialogue, and were impressed by the surprisingly philosophical themes (the desirability of world peace, for example), neither deemed the movie even remotely worth watching for anyone but die-hard comic fans inclined to throw money at anything with a Marvel logo on it.SpoilerBefore the inevitable shitstorm ensues: I have not seen the movie and this is not necessarily my opinion, even though I can definitely see this being correct. Just showing that the reviews have not all been amazing.So?You do realize that a couple bad reviews, especially from some shit Belgium source no one ever heard of, doesn't mean that all the reviews are bad right?Not sure if trolling or just bad reading comprehension. I never claimed that all reviews are bad. You, on the contrary, claimed that all reviews were positive. I simply showed you otherwise. And like I said, the one outlet had its review done by a judge at the Cannes film festival, which is pretty much the most important movie event in the world. Hardly a shit source, especially when compared to others like IGN and "popular" outlets that shill for every blockbuster or pop culture movie.
