Assassin's Creed IV, Arkham Origins Lead Videogame Writing Award Nominations

[Isalan]

On a side topic, is AC IV really that good? Everyone I know keeps saying amazing things about it, but AC III's ending left such a bad taste in my mouth--and none of the games had really impressed me up to that point anyway--that I'm leery on picking it up.

The assassining(?) is much like previous games, combat is a touch, though not much, harder, however the naval stuff is remarkably good. As usual the story makes little to no sense, and the tailing people missions are kinda thick on the ground. It is honestly worth it just for the boating, probably the best naval combat I've seen in a game to date.

OT: God of War? Batman? Best writing? Honestly, if they're gonna boys club awards like this there's no point in reporting on them. Its self-aggrandizing back slapping for writers who've signed up with a guild, ignoring the truly great writing done in the background on truly beautifully written games. You don't need a certified accreditation to be a writer. You need a pen.

Or keyboard.

Or chalk, you get the idea.
