    Default The Boston Experiment

    Well I've got the games I was looking to play going..
    Just getting into them and this is the first time I've ever done anything like this with Assassin's Creed
    I want to do something with Hitman Absolution at some point..
    Let me know if you guys like this I plan to do some more and
    it should get even more interesting when I Progress through these games and learn all there is to know.

    The problem with this as opposed to fakeskating videos is that everything you see in that video is EXTREMELY easy. :/
    Assassin's Creed does a theme of making everything you do extremely easy, and making the challenge figuring out how you're going to approach a situation using these easy skills.

    EDIT: I don't mean to be a big downer with this, I'm just saying this particular game isn't suited for it. I'm all for you showcasing skills in games with tough shit to do in a similar fashion, though

    Hey that's your opinion man, No Sweat.
    I guess a part of it is I like the new vaults, I mean.. as far as I know they are new I don't recognize them
    but it has been a while since I played any of the previous games.
    I think this game is fairly difficult.. Vaults on command felt like a challenge to me at least.
    I wanted to do a straight Parkour style video but I guess it was too early on..
    These guys were always around suspecting me. I liked the outcome, It was a challenge for me.
    Maybe I just suck at the free running aspect but that's why I felt it was capture worthy anyway.

    It's great so far M7, like I was saying.. feels Way more difficult and not just the free running the actual campaign is pretty rough. I've been away from this a while but it felt hardcore coming back in.

    I see what you're trying to do, but this really didn't work. Nothing happened. You just ran. And not like interesting routes, just the basic hopping fences and roof jumping. Even the fight scenes had nothing major to them, simple kills and you took damage. Also seems like you included the glitchy kills and run sequences also. Nothing was majorly in sync with the music, just an all round unenjoyable nothing to it video. Like someone said, it required no skill.

    If you was to tidy it all up, create unique interesting free run lines, a range of kill methods, flawless fights with quick succesion kills, in sync music, then yeah it could be interesting.

    Just being honest, tidy it up and it could work well. Will look out for the next one.

    The vaults are new, but vaults on demand are extremely easy. You hold the Right Trigger (R2 for PS3) and run into the fence. That's it. :l

    Also like ben said maybe some free running lines you wouldn't normally think of, especially longer ones, might be a lot more interesting, things that really don't seem like the orthodox path. However, I have to disagree with him on the quick succession kills, after about 10 minutes of messing about it's really easy to kill entire armies of people without getting touched.

    Right on.. I see where you guys are coming from.
    I wouldn't think people had figured you could vault over the window structures on the rooftops.
    I did a quick video search couldn't find anything like this so can't say anyone does them like this so that's cool..
    I would like to find a way to cut out the whole HUD situation and just have cuts that go with the music for sure.
    I really enjoyed putting this together. I'll work at it. Probably do another one when I get the controls down.

    That's actually something the game directly pushes you through in the early gameplay, there's also certain doors you can push through to run through the bottom floor of someone's house.

    Remember this is what it's all about, so whether or not we think it works, or whatever, as long as you're having fun then keep doing it man :P
