Co-op can usually make a mediocre game worthwhile.

But as I have learned it cannot help Kane and Lynch, since it's fucking local split-screen co-op even on PC. No LAN co-op at all.


It can't help it because it's clunky as fucking shit. The objectives are bizarre, you aim slow as shit, move slow as shit, and it's got goddamn squad commands like every shitty 3rd person shooter in the last century.

The story's really cool, too, which sucks.

Assassin's Creed's story wasn't THAT bad. Coulda explained more but yeah, they're setting it up for a sequel.

Oh, I loved the story. The ending was abysmal, though.

Yeah. Definitely going for a sequel. Also, fuck collecting all the non-Masyaf flags and killing the templar, I ain't searching for all of them.

Ending didn't really bother me, but I was expecting it to be lame from what I'd heard so I guess that softened the blow

I may have been too harsh on Kane and Lynch originally. Yes it's slow and NEEDLESSLY hard. (FUCKING DUMP TRUCK JESUS CHRIST) But you do get used to it after a bit so it's not unplayable and the story is fucking badass. Lynch is fucking hilarious and pretty demented at the same time. For the same reasons usually.

I'm so fucking annoyed by Kane and Lynch I don't think I'll even give the game another shot.

And Rock Band comes out in 24 hours anyway, so fuck it.


Although my distaste for you as a human being is brobdingnagian,
what I'm about to do isn't personal.

Vertical split-screen.

It's like the developers are purposefully shitting on their fanbase.

I'm trying to remember the last game with vertical split-screen and I think it was Halo 2 - another cooperative abortion.

has anyone else overheard the lawsuilt Ubisoft is issuing with a certain comic featuring the lovely Jade Raymond?

The comic makes it seem like she actually has tits or an ass to speak of.

^^^

Which just goes to say what this comic really implies -- that most gamers can't see past her gender. And people wonder why there are so few women in the industry.

Hint: it's not that women don't like games.

I've had more people looking for games for their girls for Christmas than boys so far. I don't really know what to say to that.

I mean it's all Wii and DS "gamez 4 girlz" stuff, but still.

Lemma: Gamers are stupid.

Proof: Join a Halo 3 game.

QED.

Edit: I have to admit Ubisoft's reaction was equally stupid though. "Oh hey look a comic that only a select few people have seen, shrugged and moved on because really it's quite insipid! LET'S THREATEN LAWSUIT AND BRING IT TO THE SPOTLIGHT!"

I know I'm not supposed to turn my blade on an innocent, but I just got so tired of listening to those street preachers "Curse the Christian King and his army of infidels" and the like, so I just walked up to his podium and knifed him in the back.

I lost three HP and everyone just sort of went "oh" and walked away. No guards or anything. Either that was intended to show that nobody else liked him any more than I did or the exaggerations for the AI aren't exaggerated.

So far, I've been able to kill three guards in rapid succession by luring them over with corpses. The fourth caught my arm and then I had to fight.

I like to walk around with my sword unsheathed picking fights with guards just by staring them down. I leave the ground in a busy city square littered with bodies. At no point do I attempt to blend or even put up my sword, yet guards are still hesitant to attack the guy standing on a pile of bodies holding a bloody sword.

I find it odd that they act this way when they seem to usually be quick on the draw for the most minor of issues when you're actually trying to avoid pissing them off

I bumped in to a guard once while running. Not from a crime or anything. Anyway, he screams "DEATH TO THE INFIDEL!" and starts attacking me. Now, I don't mind attacking me. But apparently, bumping in to someone means you reject faith in this guys religion.

No shit.

"Oh, hey, move aside, guys, here comes a bunch of scholars."

"Hey, wait a minute. That scholar has a sword!"

"Yeah, but he's with a bunch of others, so just chill."

Later...

"Hey, here comes that one scholar, walking all slow and shit. Yeah, we get it, you're scholarl-...wait, where's the rest of the guys? Hey! You've got a sword! HEY! ALL THE GUARDS ARE DEAD! FUCK!"

The beggars annoy me, so I'd switch to unarmed and just punch them. One HP down, and they run off screaming.

In my defense I feel it is our duty to make the cities cleansed of all the beggers.

That and those fucken retards that talk to themselves and shove you when you get close to them. Sorry HP but I can only allow so many shoving.

So I just finished Memory 7, saw all the weird glowy writing for a half second or whatever, and now I don't know what to do. How do I end this game?!

EDIT: Nevermind!

DOUBLE EDIT: So the ending was pretty lame.
