games

Ah, the series that forever altered the trajectory of my live by making me obsessed with the Crusades, culminating in writing a undergrad dissertation on the Third Crusade...big mistake lol. These games lost their way years ago but I'll pick this up on sale down the line just to experience Baghdad. The historical tourism aspect of the games has always been strong, the detail and effort to create these worlds is worthy of praise. But damn the combat looks what worse than Assassins Creed 2 even, drastically less options and animations. The old games might have had mindlessly easy combat but at least it was flashy and fun, I'd take any of the earlier games combat over the combat from origins to mirage. And as everyone loves to say now the parkour in unity was much better to look at, but it was still quite buggy and allowed for a lot of strange movements you didn't intend on; just wish they tried refining and improving it rather than scrapping it altogether.
