I was having missed it on Vita. But then I realized I haven't liked any AC game yet.
My biggest reason for even being interested in AC:L:HD is because it has a female lead.
Think i'll see how the steam thread impressions go.
*raises hand* It'll be at least a week or so until I can play it, though. Probably longer still if Anno 1404 gets its fashionably-late patch this week and goes on sale.

I play games very differently from people.
For me using a guide to see the whole game doesn't take away from my enjoyment at all.
True in most cases I would play without one but LLTQ seems to have so many branching paths I don't think I could handle doing it all myself. Especially because of the classes on top of it.
You could just delete Ass Flag and play AC:L:HD
I must finish what I started! And then started again!

I played through the game on Vita and it felt like more of an AC game than AC2 did.
Keep in mind, I've only finished AC and AC2 and haven't played Brotherhood, Revelations, 3, or 4.
(1) I think they ditched the multi, which is good, because that was some sort of ill-conceived dumpster fire (which had associated trophies too).
(2) Hopefully they fixed some of the bugs that remained in the Vita version even after the patch for the save destroying glitch. Things like having the game go to a black screen when you bought certain wardrobe change locations and having to save and reload to fix it and record your purchase.
Overall, I had fun with it. The New Orleans setting seemed like a good choice, the mix of gameplay between bayou and town was nicely balanced, and the use of the wardrobe changes for some of the early assassinations was great and felt more in line with AC over AC2 where your actions had purpose and it felt like you were setting up the assassinations with what you were doing rather than playing GTA: Renaissance.

Nice. I'm at 8 hours and about 50% achievements so far. Going for 100%!
As one of the five oddballs who prefer the original AssCreed over later instalments, this news pleases me greatly.

I'll say it right now.
If Ubi offers a female lead in a mainline AC game i'll buy it day 1.
I thought we had almost had one considering Revelations had that video with Ezio and the Girl.......Sound like a loon rambling. I'm sure JaseC or some other AC fan knows what i'm talking about.
Funny, it's the same reason I want to play Remember Me at some point, despite the mixed reviews. Feel kind of obligated, somehow.

Real AC fans play AC for the Abstergo/Sci-Fi Story and not for Ezio/Altair and co.
Somebody said that to me. I couldnt stop laughing.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Count me among those 5 as well. The first game was really well done and a lot of work obviously went into make it an "Assassin Simulator". Some people think it got too boring and repetitive, with not enough action. And apparently Ubisoft agreed with them.
But if you approach it in a similar way as any other simulator game, I found it to be quite enjoyable. Every game in the series after the first has been too action-stealth oriented for my tastes.

The female lead in Remember Me was the main reason I bought it day 1. Had it been a dude I would have waited for the Holiday Steam Sale. We just don't get enough Female Leads period so I have to take what I can get.
Yeah that's it. I never watched it either. But I recall reading the jist of it.

Could you tell me what you did to the commoners to rebel?
Nidhogg will have a two-pack.
Ubi has an unfortunate habit of responding to game design criticism by moving too far in the opposite direction. Another example would be the complete removal of respawning outposts in Far Cry 3, although such concerns were assuaged to some degree with a patch that added the option to repopulate them.

The 5$ (with EC credit) Syndicate+The Saboteur bundle is finally up

Not Steam but I still think it's worth highlighting because it's the first good Editor's Choice deal.

I was playing Ass Creed 4 over Xmas but got bored partway through it, despite being a full year since I suffered through number 3, it still felt too soon to be playing the same thing yet again. Even the ship combat got tedious pretty fast and the Assassins vs Templar stuff is literally shoved in there "just because" and feels out of place. Also the first person Abstergo sections are the worst real world implementation yet, hopefully I won't have any more of those forced on me when I return to the game.
Cheap as chips in Russia (~$7.20 for a single copy or ~$11.10 for a two-pack). If the week-long deals don't drain my budget I should be able to sort one out later for $11.50 or perhaps $12 (to be clear I don't profit from the packs I arrange on here).

It was stupid, in AC, that some of the pre-assassination missions had research like "help me find these 8 flags in 30 seconds".
But the multiple approaches and how you assassinate the contracts... that felt great.
Something felt off to me in the sequel. I liked the game, I 100% it twice... but I don't like it more than AC in terms of enjoyment/story/fun.
I did like the twist at the end of AC2 but after reading about what happens with that in AC:B and AC:R, I have since lost interest in the overarching story.
oh that's no easy!
When I was trying for evil path I noticed cruelty popping up, it's like hidden skill or something. You basically have to win a game while fighting and triggering all wars, yup all of them (you can loose the naval one but win in other way, which is really really spoilery to tell), you have to be mean to all commoners, raise taxes, don't send help when asked, don't heal them and be party pooper - no coronation celebration.
But, it can be that there is some simpler way than that I came up to, I remember it being discussed here.

RUgaf, you are needed
I rather enjoyed Ezio's arc across the trilogy but the modern-day narrative jumped the shark after Brotherhood. Black Flag's meta nature is rather humorous, though (you're an Abstergo employee doing research for entertainment development, with the company's most recent product being... Liberation).
I'm late but...
but I just bought a better dishwasher for 1.5k which is great methinks.
this kind of got me excited to play xenosaga. I may boot it up one of these days. mechas and nietzsche, how can it go wrong
2.5k was the money for the super toilets I think, and couldn't afford it, so I went in for 500 and the kickstarter failed. fucking kickstarter

I can't believe that someone said that.
I'm pretty sure for 99% of people who play AC that's the last reason they do so.

"Cheap as chips in Russia" is going to be my new saying.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Whenever I see this game up for sale:
I read Jet Set Radio Future and get all like, fuck this shit.

Oh, you have no idea!
in fact I have no problems with story itself, even if it's special (><)
I prefer Xenogears, I prefer SNES and PS1 era JRPGs too. There were some good ones on PS2, but not in amounts that gen before.

Especially when Faye is on the screen.
Oops.
some amazing math here, seven dimensional I assume!
i thought xenosaga's story and lore was actually more thought out and planned than gears, but of course none of it matters because someone decided to butcher all of it with ep2.

I didn't even need to see morningbus's post to know exactly what game you're talking about. I see physical copies in shops here and always have to check myself Jet Set Ra...no, wait.
