Yay! I did it!! (Sorry, I’m just feeling proud for making a pretty list, too)
Ducktales: Remastered
At the start of the month/year I finally got around to playing Ducktales: Remastered, and finished the game.
It’s a fun platformer featuring Uncle Scrooge.
A thing that somewhat weirded me out (As English ain’t my main language) is the difference between the English McDuck and the Dutch one: For starters, the only reason I even know Uncle Duck is Scottish is because I read it in a comic years ago. It’s hardly ever mentioned in the magazine, you don’t hear it in his voice and oh, he doesn’t have the mc prefix.
AC: Revelations.
Ezio Auditore da Firenze…. Altaïr, Desmond…
Definately not my most popular game in the trilogy, but the story was quite engaging and interesting. Seeing I’ve still not played AC1 it was a nice way to gain some background and insight into the struggles of Altaïr while simultaniously getting closure about Ezio’s life…
Ended up skipping a optional levels though, because I just can’t stand first person view games/levels, unfortunately.
And Desmond, damn you, you’re still alive… Now I’m actually forced to play AC3 too just to get closure on Desmond before I can continue Black Flag. Sigh.
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re:Birth 1.
I’ve randomly started playing this title because it’s in the monthly theme list and was pleasantly surprised:
For starters, I’m a girl, so I’m a bit of a sucker for bright colors, pretty images + I actually love jrpgs.
Also, this game just… doesn’t take itself, nor the gameindustry, seriously.
You are Neptunia, a goddess who fell during the Console War and has amnesia.
It also has a pretty cute game over screen.
Anyways, the land of Gamindustry consists of 4 seperate lands, each being cared for by a different Goddess. For some reason the Goddesses are in a war called the Console War.
Neptunia (Or Nep-Nep) travels all over the lands to find someone to help restore her memory, while, as in any other jrpg, somehow getting into a huge mess with various party members.
I just like that this game is so full of puns; even though I haven’t finished this game yet, I fell in love with the series and just instantly bought the remaining 2, too <3 (+ There’s a GA running for this part on steamgifts)
Pretty colors get me every time too especially when they are flashing…
I also didn’t care much for Revelations. Your title for Revelations isn’t showing up correctly btw.
I have to get around to Nep Nep one of these days on the Vita, but are those weird sky letterboxes in the screenshots also visible in the game? Because that’s pretty distracting.
They’re not, dunno why they show up in the screenshots: (For me) the borders of the game pretty much are the borders of those purple-metal thingies at the sides
Congrats finishing those games!! Yaay! :D and good luck with Neptunia
Ducktales seems a fun game… I used to love Uncle Duck when I was a kid :3
Interesting about AC Revelations… this one was the best one of Ezio story in my opinion, a nice gameplay, combat and loved the missions… complete almost all of them.
Anyway, congrats and have fun with your next games :D
I agree about Revelations, I’ve only played through the “Ezio Trilogy” without playing the first one either and by Revelations I was getting a bit tired of it but I wanted to finish the story. I’m not sure when I’ll start the third game but IV does have positive reviews so it might be worth progressing a bit more with the series… but I can understand where the Assassin’s Creed tiredness comes from, especially if the newer games haven’t changed too much!
IV is certainly great. This coming from someone who loved the series until Revelations. Revelations had all kinds of little problems that were hard to overlook. III however is terrible. What everyone says about it is true. Skip it and go to IV and Rogue. Cheers.
Ah that was something I feared… well I did get it for free in that Ubisoft giveaway event so I think I’ll still give it a try despite the negativity, just have to remember to keep expectations to the bare minimum!
Bleh, I’ll just have to get myself to play AC3, then: I’ve got trouble with skipping parts of a serie. ^.^
TBH III and IV are equally bad. Both have the same problems: Too many tail/eavesdrop/follow missions + lack of a good city to explore. However, Black Flag has all that pirate stuff that is awesome. The part of the story that focus on the pirates is great, but when they start to talk about assassins vs templars and that kind of thing, it’s simply boring and uninspired to say the least. I had to force myself to finish that game. :/
Oh that sucks to hear :/ I guess having Florence, Rome and Venice did set the bar very high in the earlier games! Still the Caribbean setting does interest me and like you say the pirate stuff is meant to be awesome, am I right in thinking that the latest Assassin’s Creed games have kind of just ditched the assassins vs templars storyline or was that all the future stuff you were trying to piece together?
They completely ditched the future stuff and eavesdropping which is great, but no the A vs T. They also reduced to a minimum the tail/follow missiom, but unity was plagued with bugs and when syndicate came out people were just saturated of doing the same stuff over and over. Also, doing all those chores like collecting boxes, finding leap of faith spots, getting control of a templar area by doing the same mission 20 times, those things really started to bother most of their audience, myself included.
Yeah I’ve heard about how Ubisoft have almost created an open-world formula that they follow in every game they’ve made recently… it’s probably for the best they’re delaying the release for the next one haha
