I almost completelt agree. Every other AC has had me captivated, even though I must admit that by Revelations it felt a little stale. This is a personal opinion, but the locations and settings of the the previous games are just significantly more interesting and exotic than those in AC3...

I voted for Far Cry 3 (probably my actual 2nd choice for GOTY). Ideally I would have voted for Max Payne 3 as 1st choice - the voice acting, music, settings, atmosphere are amazing and the gunplay is the best I've seen in any 3rd person action game to date. Sleeping Dogs is a close 3rd...

The mission complete themes from GTA III and Vice City were the bomb!

I remember playing one game as a swashbuckling rogue when a melee erupted in a tavern during dinner when the town guard stormed in to arrest us. I managed to convince the DM that I'd do a running jump off a table, swing on the candle-chandelier above and kick a baddy into the roaring fire. I...

"The Outlaw Josey Wales" is one of my favourite films of all time. "Pale Rider" is also fantastic. "High Plains Drifter" too. You can tell I'm an Eastwood fan :P I also love "The Searchers" and "The Wild Bunch"

Seems weird that you'd immediately decide not to buy a game based on this one random guy who played it, and not the stellar review under which your comment resides... Also people keep seeming to equate noir with darkness and New York. Having completed Max Payne 1 and 2 there I can outright...

In GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption it was sometimes fun to purposefully fail a mission in different ways to hear the dialogue. It was specific to how you failed the mission (unless you died of course). Also, then on replaying the mission, you'd hear new dialogue on the ride over to the start.

Ekans is snake backwards. And Arbok is Kobra. Blew my mind at the time.

1) Medieval 2 Total War (have always kept coming back to it - especially with mods) 2) GTA4 3) World of Warcraft (even though I haven't played it for 3 years I still reckon the amount I played it while I was still subscribed means it unfortunately gets into my top 3!)

In GTA games if my car gets even slightly dented I have to change it. It's just ruins the atmosphere if you turn up to a mission and you arrive in a car missing panelling. I also sometimes like to abide by the speed limit sometimes and just cruise along listening to the radio. *** Also...

Max Payne 1 & Max Payne 2 - both for only £3 during a steam sale 2 years ago. Fantastic!

I think HUD contact lenses would be much cooler. That way you don't look like a prat while wearing them. http://gizmodo.com/5861749/heads+up-display-contact-lenses-are-one-step-closer-after-passing-safety-tests

Old north church is gonna be featured. Check this screenie of Boston and look left :) http://cdn.gamerant.com/wp-content/uploads/Assassins-Creed-3-Boston-Winter-570x320.jpg It does seem weird that Ubisoft is proclaiming that Connor is going to be entirely neutral in the war, and yet every...

Definitely Vice City. I'd buy an HD port of that immediately! The gameplay wasn't as over-the-top as San Andreas (a gangbanger from South-Central LA ends up piloting fighter jets to blow up spy-ships...), and yet it was just crazy enough to fit in with the 80s vibe it nailed down perfectly...

AC2 had the best story I reckon, so I voted for it. The puzzles in it were the most interesting as well. I also liked how it still had many different locations and cities to visit with historical landmarks. However, the combat and assassination gameplay in Brotherhood and Revelations is much...
