The article i linked stated that they are planning that mode for the next assassin's creed game.


from the IGN article

"Update: Ubisoft has clarified, saying this is a new title featuring Ezio, and is not an expansion for Assassin's Creed 2. The new online multiplayer mode will be for an entirely new Assassin's Creed product. The Assassin's Creed Episodes project will pick up where Assassin's Creed 2 left off."

so is mass effect pretty much playing like dragon ages....except for the different worlds?

what i dont understand is how IGN give mass effects gameplay a 9, but then says poor AI and combat hamper the game.....it looks like it uses the radial menu to pause like DA......so whats wrong with the combat?

Anyone seen that game Red Dead Redemption? It's made by Rockstar coming out in a couple of months. It's and open world old western game looks pretty good.

Gotcha gotcha. Well i hope its decent with like death match and team death match. If its just shit like racing against someone in the city that could get old relatively fast

Dark Sector is pretty decent, especially for the $8 or $9 I paid for it several months ago. The glaive is pretty bad ass. Slicing off enemies legs and arms never gets old.

The camera and controls remind me a shit load of RE4.

KILLED this guy 38-10 in a ranked game and then he pulls some bullshit glitch where the game never ends. It just shows all the postgame animations over and over and over. He pretty much waited me out and got the game unregistered.

I hate that crap. Been a while since I've played Madden online ranked. How's the competition this year?

And that is why I would never play a sports game vs a random.

It was All-Pro Football 2K8 and it sucks usually. Most of these guys know every little exploit of this game like the back of their hand it's ridiculous. I'm lucky to be .500 at this point.

The few remaining online run the same offense:
1) Spam HB screens and stretch plays with workhorse RBs.
2) Throw the deep posts to the 6-fucking-8 Pete Metzelaars. Even if he's double covered.
3) If Steps 1 and 2 are not working, hot route an outward slant, fade or quick outs (routes that are near impossible to cover because of animation issues) with a route god or someone with clutch.
4) Repeat until touchdown.

Then spend the remaining stars on corners, safeties, and Dexter Manley (to user with), sit in soft zone all fucking game and the defense practically plays itself.

With that said, it's as fun as Madden at 1/6th the cost ($10 vs. $54.99) and with the 2K Rating thing you can usually find the guys who play straight.

Finished the Dante's Inferno demo... I dunno why they wouldn't at least give us the Hard Setting as far as difficulty though.

After actually getting into "Hell" before the demo ended, I couldn't help think that I wanted to play the GoW3 demo that much more; if not the full game.

one other question about mass effect. i see the first play thru u can level up to 50.....but can you get to level 50 by farming or just by exploring. Or is leveling up based on your progression in the story?

I don't remember the level I got to on my first playthough. I'm certain I visited every single corner of the game as I systematically went through each solar system and checked out every planet.

Don't know if I got to 50 or not, tho I would have been close I bet..
