Time to buy an XBOX360? - Page 221

Davey_Pitch · 20-11-2007, 02:55

That was a fun night with my Xbox back in action. CoD4 MP all night, about 200 kills (including 150 with the G3), and a 5 level increase, now up to level 30. Reminded me why I missed my 360 so much last week

Now off to bed

aye hardened but actually dropped it down to normal so I can hopefully finish it

Davey: Thursday early evening should be free for you and me, fancy some party MP action?

Davey_Pitch · 20-11-2007, 09:51

If I'm free Thursday, sounds like a plan. Not sure how much time we'll have though as we'll be getting the house ready for the weekend, btu I'm sure I'll get on at some point

I read the Eurogamer review on Mass Effect, well skipped to the conclusion and score. 8/10. They say its a great game but it just wasn't *as* good as they wanted it to be. I still plan on trying to ebay a kidney to buy it.

It was going to be the game I wanted for Christmas but I'm not so sure now :/

It's a good laugh, it is a little bit repetative, but in the same way that Crackdown was. You have to find x number of flags lying around and do the same kind of missions in every city, but it hasn't got boring for me yet.

Word of warning, don't read anything about the game until you have played it as there are some big spoilers for it.

Ahh if it's the repetitive nature of Crackdown, that's ok. I don't expect a game that I will play obsessively for hours on end like for example Mass Effect. So it still sounds good to me

I have found it to be a little repetitive, but the everything else makes up for it for me. The AI isn't a problem and I find it quite funny to hidden blade someone and walk away with a guard a few feet away. Although I tried to do hidden blade kill guard who was talking to another guard from the back and got caught, so the AI isn't totally useless. What is the silliest thing I saw is when they were chasing me I climb on top of this archer tower and then accidentally fell down from the top (took most of my health but no all), they went a follow me by jumping off and died lol 3-4 bodies just fell from the sky, that was quite amusing.

You can play the game by going all Gung Ho into the assassination or sneak in, and once you are in you can even sneak up and kill and sneak away or just fight to the death, thou more often than not the target starts running away into the streets which ending up with me chasing him with about 20 guards chasing me..lol Ususally ending with me doing a jump/hidden blade to his neck for the kill.

I have to applaud the designers for the city design, the streets, the walls, roof tops are amazing to go around in and climb. It seems to natural to just go from running on some back alley to find a dead end by just climb up on that window and then on the roof. The viewpoints too are really cool, some are REALLY breath taking. The best one is obviously the highest one in the city, the tower on the cathedral in Arca is absolutely enormous, and have to sit on the top of the cross to achieve it, the view from the top and the leap of faith to the ground has to be seen to be believed.

I also find throwing the beggers around quite strangely amusing, one time i accidentally killed one when when i threw her into a market stall which caused it to collapsed and fell on top of her and the people in the queue...mini-massacre lol
