      The story is wafer-thin until Uncharted 4, where it gets all deep. Much in the vein of the storytelling in Naughty Dog's Last of Us, they discovered they could be telling a better story with Drake and did. Shame that Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider series is better on almost every level in terms of story, set pieces and action.

    • @sambailey855
      @sambailey855 5 лет назад +13

      @@SetsunaInoue however, I'd argue before playing Revelations you need to understand Altair's background. Plus AC might be monotonous. But it gives a really good basis for the general mechanics of the games and the whole Assassin's v Templars background. It also helps with understanding the stuff as Desmond. Now I haven't yet played any after Revelations. But been told Desmond stuff disappears for various reasons. Don't want to say without giving away spoilers. But for the first four games I actually enjoyed some of the Desmond stuff. So playing AC helps show you more of the narrative and introduces the mechanics. So it depends if you care about knowing the characters and story or want less monotonous gameplay.

      @SetsunaInoue 5 лет назад +1

      @@sambailey855 while I can agree that it might be slightly more confusing with some of that stuff, I still think that because it's so monotonous, it would help have an introduction to the series first, one that's going to give a player a reason to go back to the other games in the series. Playing 2 and Brotherhood and stopping before Revelation might be the best. Actually, I came into the series at Brotherhood, and played one and two afterwards. And personally I'm glad I did, it gave me a reason to care about the backstory

Trying to get into the Borgia towers & get the commanders who are flanked either side by guards was ridiculous. Then again, i keep trying while i was on chapter 3, maybe i was underleveled.

      Make sure to play X-2. It's awesome!
      Seven reasons why you should play X-2 after X(because I actually did that in the other order)
      1: As Yuna you will walk up to a LOT of people who you met in X and while they do explain some of the back story, you're going to be missing a lot.
      2: X-2 has a very well thought out gear system, but many of the character classes you take on via the garment grid system include subtle injokes and sly nods to things from X that you won't get unless you have played X.
      3: you visit pretty much every place you visited in X... or what's left of them. Yeah they don't really show the "before" pictures much.
      4: not every event in X-2 is based on an event in X, but a lot of them are. Which you won't fully understand if you didn't play X.
      5: you won't get the significance of the new places you're visiting that weren't in X.
      6: you won't fully understand why practically everyone knows who Yuna is. Or why it's unusual to meet someone who doesn't.
      7: You won't understand why Yuna is seemingly obsessed with Tidus.
      Or why it's not as weird as it seems at first.

    • @herved.2063
      @herved.2063 5 лет назад +3

      Nah, just play IX or VI after X. X-2 is not worth your time. Reason 3 above is the main reason why X-2 is a chore, it's a poor re-hash of assets from X. Most of the arguments above are for playing X before X-2 if you ever play both, not arguments to play X-2 ever. The only cool thing about X-2 is the fast paced battle system, but VI is also fast paced (though slightly less) and is a much better game.

    • @marhawkman303
      @marhawkman303 5 лет назад +3

      @@herved.2063 I personally thought X-2 was great. I LOVE the way the gear system in X-2 works, best ever in a FF game IMO.
      Also item 3 is talking about how you visit all those places like Zanarkand and Bevelle after the Sin War is over. X-2 doesn't let you explore them the way they used to be, instead you see them as they are now... in ruins.

      Strongly agree with that, the whole point of the game is that it now adds depth to Kratos; if you don't know what Kratos has endured before and where he was, then you completly miss the way the character is now and why this new setting is so great. You'd just think "yeah, very nice portrayal of Norse mythology, cool" and that's it :)

      I thought the story of 3 was incredibly mediocre and felt very rushed when compared to Drake's Fortune & Among Thieves. 1 is repetitive gameplay wise after a while, but the story keeps you hooked till the end and it's worth it. I loved 1, adored 2, was not a fan of 3, and have yet to play 4, but now have a PS4 so I can. The games I'm looking forward to are Death Stranding, The Last of Us: Part 2, and now Cyberpunk 2077 (after playing The Witcher 3 and seeing just how amazing CD Projekt Red are)

      Love the games, the only thing I don't like is about 3/4 of the games always feel like they are Indiana Jones style action games, and then they bring in moments where it feels more Gears of Wars shooter type gameplay. Would rather have the games be a bit more run and gun than strategy shooter, however the games are short enough that you could play through all 4 in a very reasonable timeframe. Did that last fall, actually. Got the Nathan Drake Collection and when I was done with the first game ended up getting Uncharted 4. First time in my history that I went through 4 whole games in a series in a reasonable amount of time.

      God of war is my favorite series of all time. You have to play 1,2, and 3 first. There are so many throwbacks to the old games that a newbie will not pick up on its unreal. For example when Kratos gets the Blades of Chaos out again. The weight of that moment would be totally waisted on a newbie! Play the first three games first. Then you can move on to whatever game you would like in the series.

    As good as the Ezio Collection is, I must disagree with you. It’s best to start at the very beginning, namely Assassin’s Creed itself. Reason being: there are several story elements in AC2 that won’t make much sense if you haven’t. Desmond’s flashback to Damascus where he’s chasing Maria, Lucy rescuing him from Abstergo, the significance of the outfit Ezio is shown and the lore behind the Assassin Order and their creed, not to mention the Templars.... Altair is still a good protagonist and the Crusade-era Holy Land is a fun place to explore, even if it does get repetitive at times. Start with the game that kicked off the series, not the successor.

      The old games have aged terribly, not so much aesthetically as they still look decent, the gameplay is massively dated though. Like tank controls on the Ps1, going back to old button mashing God of wars is pretty horrific.
      At least the studio knew gaming had moved on when they rebooted the franchise, rather than sticking with archaic old tap tap tap tap tap tap tap gameplay like Dynasty warriors (which rightly bombed)
      One of my fave games is Resident evil 2, the 90s one. I wouldn't dream of telling anyone to start with that or the prequel as their first Resi though, they've aged badly - I'd suggest Resi 4 or the Resi 1 remake.
      I'd assume it's the same thinking for Rob. Some old games are terrible to play now and the GOW games for me are in that bracket. Games have moved on from, tappity tap tap dodge QTE tappity tap tap CUTSCENE.
