Today's game is some more Assassin's Creed. I mainly made my way through the Jerusalem assassination. it was here i really started to feel the slowness of this game's parkour. With the other games (not-RPG ones) Parkour feels snappy and like constant lunges. Here it kind of feels like Altair is afraid to grab a ledge and i feeling it out first. Realistic? Yeah. But also it does slow things down a little.
Also, with Altair's face just being Desmond's it really cracks me up a bit. It's just funny seeing that he has the exact same face as him, especially coming from the games where all the Protagonist's have their own faces.
The actual assassination part was fun, albeit it felt a little light on story. I liked actually getting to chase the guy through the streets despite my gripe about the parkour. The fight though kind of boiled down to standing around and countering until he died. And i mean that more so than what the other games are known for.
It also throws me off they don't search for you. Like, i can just hop in there at a yellow and wait them out. I'd expect them to at least search around for me. But nope. They just walk away like they suddenly had something better to do.
Anyways, i'm enjoying this. It's interesting to see the roots of one of my favorite franchises growing up, so exploring this is a fun time. After this i want to go to 2, and work my way up from there. I have a friend who's trying to complete every Final Fantasy game; I'd like to dedicate myself to finishing every Assassin's creed game, even if i'm dreading Odyssey and Valhalla, and Shadows too actually. The story for Shadows was ungodly long, i liked the game play though. I should upgrade my CPU though with how much of a Bottleneck it became for that game.
