I worked on War in the North, glad you mostly liked it. It is definitely meant to be played co-op
A slight correction on your post -- Snowblind, the primary developer on WitN wasn't taken over by Monolith. Monolith and Snowblind were both bought by Warner Bros. Monolith in 2006 and Snowblind in 2009 so now they kinda share resources across the teams. Yeah Blitz it was a good game, probably not as popular as it should have been. I felt like I needed more once it was done, I've got all this great gear but it's over, I want more!! Normally most games I'm over it after 5-7 hrs.
Probably if it had been an open sandbox game like most of the big RPG's of 2010+, it may have been more popular. RPG gamers like to muck around doing random stuff. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 7.0/10
Not a bad game really, good mix of guns and hack n slash. Bit too linear and started to drag a bit by the end. It's a lot like Transformers: War for Cybertron. I'm playing through the third Assassin's Creed now. *sigh* what a chore. Let's get this shit done with because Fable 3 is next on my list :) I have 0.4 hours on Steam for AC1. Most of that time was me trying to quit, because it was a ~7 step process to exit the game without killing the thread manually.
ac1 was hot garbage. the combat was just a mess and too frustrating. ac2 was a big improvement, but mostly if you like a story in your games. the gameplay wasn't really all that fun. pretty though.
ac3 I'm only an hour in. they seem to have just assumed I played ac2 because there's barely any tutorials. the puzzle section as desmond with his tightpants gf was quite cool. i'll see if I can get a few hours in today. I hope they haven't put the difficulty up though since ac2, as it was pretty good in that respect (and no difficulty selection, thanks ubisoft for assuming every gamer is the same). "ac3 I'm only an hour in. they seem to have just assumed I played ac2 because there's barely any tutorials."
?? The first 6 hours or so is basically one long tutorial. they haven't given any instructions on combat yet, other than button mash. although there appear to be combat tutorials in the menu, so maybe I'm supposed to do those. i'll just wing it though. pickpocketing not mentioned. walking in groups to stay hidden not mentioned. hiding in hay or wooden things...
maybe they're still getting to those points. doesn't matter I remember them all from II. finishing brotherhood. it was pretty good, better than asII, although the designers were a bit lazy in setting the entire game pretty much in one city.
what ruined it was the last 2 sequences (about 1.5hrs). utter garbage, frustrating gameplay that made all the rpg building you'd previously done completely irrelevant. I might play Revelations next. has anyone tried memory of a broken dimension? played an old demo from 2012(?) I found on a steam forum... seemed cool, but i don't know how long you can keep a game going with the gameplay that's in there.
Yeah. The aesthetic is really cool but it needs more stuff to do. Ezra (the guy working on it) is doing it by himself so I imagine it still might be a while before it's done. But I played it at an offsite PAX event and it is really cool for what it is. Seems like the core mechanic so far is akin to that scene in the Last Crusade where Indy crosses the "invisible" bridge
It's up on Steam Greenlight http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=305638565 with a recent-ish trailer. Looks a bit less abstract, but no less intriguing.
I am excited about it! I played that this summer at Siggraph, and it was still pretty far from being done, but quite interesting.
The dev was a cool guy, but he didn't seem 100% sure on what direction he was taking with it at the time. in theory, so in the witcher 2, but you need to go to GoG 7 times after waiting 24 hours each time before you can get it...
