Prince of Persia 2008 was visually pleasing to my eyeballs, but oh so repetitive. The Forgotten Sands was solid all around.

Warrior Within is the worst of the modern Prince of Persia games.

People complaining about Ubisoft sequels gets old

There was 1 year between Doom (1993) and Doom II (1994) and the game is basically exactly the same gameplay and graphics

There is less innovation between Doom and Doom II than there was between AC: Brotherhood and AC: Revelations which is the most complained about part of the series, yet when Doom II came out everybody was all over it

Why does Ubisoft get shat on repeatedly where other companies get a pass?

There was nothing to compare Doom and Doom2 to when they released unless you had a Mac and played Marathon. There's a ton of open world games that are available from studios outside Ubisoft and compared to them, Ubisoft is terrible.

Well, FC3 was fun and since FC4 is more of the same, it is also fun. This thread pushed me to start FC4 since it's been sitting in my library for a very long time and it's a blast. I don't really like how the paths are pretty black and white and I'm sure it will give you a similar choice as you had in FC3, but the world is big enough that I'm finding plenty to do and the outposts are actually fun to do this time around.

My only gripe with the game is how easy it is to unlock pretty much everything right out of the gates. Almost all the craftables are available right from the start, but most guns are locked for way too long. As in, you get both bows right off the bat, but I'm 60% through the main game and still haven't unlocked the crossbow yet... doesn't make much sense. And the requirement of getting Rank 10 in the arena is a bit silly since it's just non-stop grinding. It would be different if the arena battles changed, but they don't. They should have taken a page from Borderland 2's book about arena fights. I think I'm rank 6 and I really don't want to continue just for that signature.

All in all, I still don't understand why people have to try to be critics about everything. Video games are meant to be fun, not judged based on how realistic the facial expressions are or if the game reuses animations from previous games. If it's fun, then play it. If you don't find it fun, move on to something else.

Video games can be critiqued since developers decided they want to be counted as art. Thus if I think their art is crap, I'll say so. Also when the writing of some games rivals many books and movies, there is a certain high standard that I keep mindful of as I play a game. So while I'll say Michael Bay is no Francis Ford Coppola and I think his movies suck, I will also say that Ubisoft is no CD Projekt Red and their game sucks by way of comparison.

Am the only one who likes all the extra "padding" in Ubisoft open worlds?

Gives me something to do after finishing the main story, their maps are some of the most detailed and i have a lot of fun exploring them

Yea, I'm with you. I probably won't buy it for awhile because I haven't beat Pong yet. Not sure why anyone would need another game when I'm pretty sure NO one has beat pong yet.

Honestly, this one interests me more than 2,3,4 or Primal. The others were pretty generic in terms of their story, except for 1.

I see what you did there. But you are talking about extremes, when I am not!

Boycott? Did you meant to say you simply won't purchase the game? Pretty sure not buying a game and making one post about it here isn't protesting anything.

Boycott until sometime far in the future. And can't I protest solo, without making waves? I am not asking anyone to join me if they don't want to.

Well while it is fun the first time or two, but after doing it for like 10 games(AC/Farcy) it tends to get very repetitive. I think that was my issue with 4, was I just got burned out on the repetitive filler bits.

To be honest, they could have probably waited another year before releasing 5 and the AC that coming up too

FC3 was easily my favorite of the series... 4 just seemed like a re-skinned 3 and there were annoying eagles for no reason.

Didn't play Primal and honestly thought 5 was a joke when I first saw the trailer, made me laugh, but I was 100% on board at the end. crop dusters and super rednecks... Montana? fffffffffffffffffff**king take my money. 'MURCA!

You mean, am I ready for a Far Cry 4 mod that changes the setting from Nepal to Montana?
No, I will never be ready for that.

Far Cry never seemed like a coherent game and I am still shocked the franchise is still around. Maybe I am just too old to have the patience to climb radio towers and listen to assholes in games talk complete fantasy.
