Dungeons of Dredmor, Assassin's Creed: Revelations
I somehow managed to buy the DLC for Dungeons of Dredmor. Was just kinda looking around and realized it existed and only cost $6, so of course I'm going to impulse buy that. Who cares if I hadn't even beat the original game yet. So I jump in again, load up a character with some of the newer skill trees, and they are sufficiently wacky. My player is a communist vegan, who cannot kill animals and occasionally can take advantage of socialized health care, with the disadvantage of occasionally recieving a Communist-themed curse as well. It is silly. There is also an Atlas Shrugged joke in there, which is something I have never seen before, that's interesting.
I had also not turned on permadeath, and I am perfectly fine to just keep playing the same character even though she has died before. Get to learn how things really work, and I really want to hang on to this awesome pocket dimension that I had found. Pocket Dimension! Get yours today!
Also a lot of time in Assassin's Creed: Revelations, trying to cap that crap off. You know, when you ignore absolutely everything that was added for this game, it's really just more enjoyable Assassin's Creed business. Lot of fun, jumping and stabbing. I just wish the new stuff didn't suck so bad. I accidently had to do the tower defense game again, and it was just...awful. The difficulty curve is way off and the camera angle makes no sense. I also did another stage of the first-person platformer they thought would be a good idea, and boy oh boy, really? First-person platformer? And it's full of all kinds of wacky little fidgets, like placeable blocks and null zones and bleh. And don't get me started how little I care about bombs.
But enough about things that suck! Because the core gameplay is still Assassin's Creed, and old man Ezio is still a baller. Ezio decides to stab the crap out of this guy because the prince told him to. So he sneaks into this base full of dudes and kills him, only for this guy to say, "Hey, I was totally on your side, stupid." WHOOPS! So Ezio breaks the news to the prince, who's all, welp, that sucks, and then Ezio goes to have a picnic with his lady friend, then goes to some dumb water puzzle place and gets the last disc of Altair's dumb life.
And if you thought Ezio was old balls, holy crap you should see how ancient Altair is in this last memory in which he takes back the assassin homeland from some jerk. Altair has been banished for two decades, that is, 20 years after he was already pretty old and had adult sons, which means he's got to be pushing 80. He is so old in fact that he can't vault off stuff anymore, and will occasionally cough into his arm, it is sad. He can still suplex a mother though, as he just walks up and kills a few more guys for fun, and eventually shoots the stupid jerk with a gun. Which, when you think about it, is a big fucking deal on account of it being the 12th century. Guns aren't really a thing yet. Where did you get that, Altair?
