Action & Adventure: General Discussion

[Rider-1400]

Hi,

im failry new to having a PS3 and went and Got the 1st 2 Assassins Creerds games from PSN.

Excellent, had a ball (trying to decide if i wait to download ACIII from PSN or go and buy a physical copy)

i then got God of War..... never have i felt so let down by a game.  compares th AC t GOW seems clunky and the constand button mashing (ie pres O 5 million times just to te complete a task like openning a door/ killing a medusa) just turned me off straight away.  The game sounds interesting otherwise, but this just made me put it down.

Anyway, i'm trying to find some more games like AC. As i anjoy the narrative type gameplay

So far im interested in

Red Dead Redemption

Dantes Inferno

Castlevainia

Darksiders

Heavy Rain

can anyone tel me wheather these games have the same button mashing as God of war or a more enlightened experience like AC?

Other siggestions would also be good.

thanks

if my memory serves me correctly..red dead redemption is the only game on your list that doesn't contain multiple button mash tasks.... it's a good game too.... ac3 brotherhood is the best assassin's creed so far, you should enjoy that!

[Rider-1400]

Thanks for that.

definately going to continue with the AC series...enjoyed the 1st 2 a lot..

i'd heard good things about Dead Red.

i dont mind the odd bit of button mashing but for every action is a bit much....

Trying to work out if i can fps on the PS3 as well. giving the Black ops Demo a go.  i'm too used to a mouse& keyboard i think

For an fps since your new to ps3 get Warhawk and Mag, both are designed squarley for the PS3 and both have massive communitys were you will meet some awesome mates and a few tools, cod has 75% tools which is the only reason I hire them not buy them!

Also have a crack at Oblivion plenty of freedom and a massive game too. Definatly play Uncharted 1 and 2 as if you liked Assasins your sure to love these.

Oblivion? as in Eler Scrolls? yes played that onthe Pc... much fun and hours there.

will take a look at uncharted then.

I guess with FPS its going to depend in the controls system... still finding the analog stick for aiming a bit odd. I'll adjust though.

Thanks for the reccomendations.

Dantes Inferno is very much like God Of War so you prob wouldnt like that to much, Darksiders is similar but a little more involved, Red Dead is good and its a big game to.

(finally someone new that didnt complain about AC ) but AC2 and Brotherhood have improved the series a lot. Borderlands is a great co-op game (fps ) you can play by yourself but its infinitely better playing with mates.
