(no subject)
Okay, so... finally finished up the main plot of Revelations. I have feelings.
- Plot-wise, I think it was just okay. TBH I kind of stopped caring after Yusuf died. REALLY? REALLY?!?! :| Man, fuck you, Ubisoft. Why do you keep killing all the awesome people? Giovanni and Lucy and NOW YUSUF????? Just. Fuck you. :|
- I really liked Sofia... until she turned into this kind of annoying 'damsel in distress' :| In the beginning she was all awesome and smart and nerdy and independent... I feel like they just killed all of that at the end. She had to find out about Ezio being an assassin eventually, but did it have to happen like that? At least... she drove the carriage okay? And, idk, I kind of can't believe Ezio gave over the keys for a girl but... no, yeah, I can. Anyway, I like the idea of her, definitely. I can understand that she's someone Ezio would want to settle down with. I love how his "love interests" have changed over the years (from Cristina to Rosa to Caterina) and how they were all kind of 'right' for him at the time. I love it. But towards the end I just felt like there was something missing from Sofia. And I know, this is ridiculous and I can't believe I'm saying it but... it's like they lacked chemistry, lol. It wanted to be there, and it should have been there, but I just wasn't feeling it when I should have. I'm a little disappoint.
- Anyway, back to plot... Let's face it, I don't play for the current day timeline. I could care less about Desmond. After every game I am just a little more confused than I was before, but a lot more willing to throw my money at Ubisoft to get answers, goddammit. They're really fucking good at that. And I've got to admit, Ezio's was a little less exciting because it was a little less personal. I JUST MISS ITALY. (AND HORSES.)
- I think my game was kind of buggy. There was this guy who constantly had a "target" mark over his head even though I had no idea who he was and I never had any dialogue with him. And when I killed him it was all, "Ezio didn't kill civilians!!" and I was like FUCK YOU!! And it wouldn't go away either, so for most of the game I had an annoying little red marker constantly on the side of my screen :\ Also, what happened to all those random 'events' you were supposed to be getting as you were running around? The only things I got were two different 'beat up event' kind of things where these dudes were bragging about how tough they were SO I KICKED THEIR ASSES. OH. And one of the Assassin Challenges is to recruit 12 assassins. WELP. I've got them all! And it is still saying I only have 11. THANKS. I guess I could try and kill someone and recruit another? Idk. I didn't get all of what I'm assuming were 'special' ones. I mean, for some of them I did the quests but I was already full up. So I'm a little bummed I missed them. How was I supposed to know that one out of a dozen were going to be cooler than the others????
- And I still haven't played the Vlad the Impaler Prison because I had no fucking clue where it was. I had to youtube it. How was I supposed to know that the "hidden tomb" icon in Sofia's shop was not for the hidden tomb that was part of the plot!? The whole game I was like, WHY ISN'T THAT ICON GOING AWAY. I'VE BEEN THERE. -_-
- Also didn't really like den defense. Mainly because I suck at it. It only triggered once, and I lost. :\ THEY BROUGHT OUT A GIANT THING THAT SHOT FIRE! I had no chance.
- I'm still a little annoyed that they changed the faces.
- I feel like I'm being a bit of a Negative Nancy. POSITIVES!: I love recruiting assassins. I just do. I could spend the whole game sending them off to do stuff. I wish I could have more than 12. I also love the challenges. And achievements. I'm kind of a completionist in general, but something about this game makes me go crazy. It's just super fun. OH AND I really like collecting things. (Especially when I have a map.) Just keep giving me things to collect! I WILL COLLECT ALL THE THINGS!!
- I LOVED THE HOOKBLADE. I loved hook and roll/throw. I felt so cool. Oh, and bombs were a lot more fun than I was expecting them to be.
- And I liked that there were less jumpy Prince of Persia puzzle-y things like there were in Brotherhood. (Looking at you, entire beginning and end.) SHEESH. I'm horrible at them. (But without them it did feel like there was something missing...) I also liked the Desmond bits, though I do feel like the info on his past was kind of dumped. The puzzles were cool and kind of reminded me of Portal, lol. I still need to replay some of them to get more multiplayer emblems.
- OH AND! I REALLY LIKED THE ALTAIR PARTS! Though they were mainly kind of depressing because he was so old ;____; And MAN the ending in the library. Was not expecting that. I... know they have to die eventually but it's still really sad!
AND, OKAY. I'm done. I'm really effing tired.
I still have some things to finish up... achievements to get, challenges to finish, landmarks to purchase, and Mediterranean cities to take for the Assassins. (I've gotten all the animus data fragments and the treasures already.) I do kind of want to go back and replay AC2 and Brotherhood. I miss young Ezio. Especially after watching Embers OH MY GOD. THE WORST :C Just kill me, Ubisoft.
BUT I should really hold off. I've got a lot of school work to catch up on lol.
oh wait, a quick reaction to embers before I go:
THAT IS ALL
