Yeah that was a good one.

So the game came to PC finally, and its actually a clean port. No issues on my end, but other people have complained about audio dropouts with onboard sound chips. Ubisoft has dropped some really terrible PC ports in recent years, but not this one. It also perfectly works with a 360 controller.

I'm about 4 hours in. A lot of things are already getting frustrating and repetitive, so I'm doing my best to stick to the story missions and nothing else. Every time I wander off and do the side quest stuff, I just find myself hating the AI more and more. The combat is also super easy and you can win 1:10 brawls by just countering everything.

So if you're going to play this game, all I can say is stick with the story-related portions, because the presentation of it all is damn good. Can't imagine actually paying $50 just for it though.

Oh and watched the Zero Punctuation review again and its probably the most accurate review he's ever done. Usually he has to exaggerate a game's points for the sake of humor, but he didnt have to do it with this one. AC seriously does play as illogically as he says it does.

Just read through this topic for the first time and...

This game was produced by a woman? News to me...

Besides producers generally do jack shit on most games. The most active one I think of off the top of my head is Hideo Kojima. All a producer does is sit in board meetings and people present their ideas, they either agree or disagree and thats it really.

It's the creative director/director that truly influences how a game evolves in development. Producers basically just say "do this in this amount of time otherwise it gets cut" If anything the producer is to be blamed for games being released unfinished.

Producers are like Executive Producers in the music business. They oversee the overall financial and ethical concerns of a record. They never have any creative input in the 'product'. Especially compared to the sounde engineer/producer.



Anyways.

I really enjoyed playing AC. Yeah sure the AI isn't the best AI ever. I never saw any glitches in the 360 version and the graphics are very immersive (until you hit the stupid memory walls) I love the free running aspect of the game it's brilliant and something I want to see in more games. Uncharted is very similar. If you liked AC and have a PS3 then i'd urge anyone to get Uncharted. It's like like Tomb Raider (but not sucky) mixed with AC with some Gears of War style third person shooting added in for good measure.

What really annoys me is that she's got more google results than Shigeru Fucking Miyamoto.

Well that's a given since most gamers think that a girl who plays games is godly; now you have Ms. Jade Raymond who makes games and supposedly likes to play them as well... I don't know what's beyond godly but gamers have apparently found it.

The google results have since changed, and shiggy has about a 2:1 lead on her. The world is right again.

There's tons of women in the gaming business. Quite a lot of art direction is done by women these days. Just check any western developed game. Quite an equal spread of sexes there! It is a very male dominated business but there's lots more girls getting into video games these days and what's not to say that they pursue a career in something they enjoy doing. Thats how everybody gets into video game designing. Well... Most anyway. There's still too many people with big wallets dictating the evolution of the gaming platform. *cough* EA *cough*

Haha...in that picture everyone's head is edited to be hers except one asian women. So it was like 20 of her and 1 asian that made the game.
