Dance Central 3, Assassin's Creed 3
I am finally getting over my dance ego and downgraded to Easy in the story mode of Dance Central 3. It makes it managable, at least, although I still had to try to crack the 80's dance craze a good ten times. Stupid backstep. So now I'm in the 90's. Backstreet's back, all right. (Did...did Backstreet go anywhere before that song? Because that is the earliest song of theirs I remember.)
Then it is time to start playing Assassin's Creed 3 again! Why the fuck not? Let's get over the disappointment and play this goddamn game. So dicked around on my homestead, and the missions there are getting stupider. They had me herding pigs and sneaking around a girl's campsite to figure out what she wants instead of, you know, walking up and fucking asking her. Stupid French Canadian.
Then I went on the story mission, chasing after some jackass, and Connor gets arrested and goes to prison. I goddamn hate prison chapters. They are always the worst, because you have no freedom in what you do, there is always a goddamn fist fight, and it is usually poorly written. In this one, you hear a rumor about some guy who is carving a key, so you go talk to him and mention the name George Washington and he flips his shit and agrees to help you, despite having no reason to. So you steal a key, and then you switch the key, then you get in a fist fight (I kinda forgot how to fight, so it took a few tries), and then I was sneaking around the prison and the guards are apparently blind, because some of them were staring straight at me and didn't immediately say, "Hey, there shouldn't be anyone out here, because it's a goddamn prison."
Anyway, Connor completely manages to fail to do his job, and Charles Lee is a dick, and then suddenly they are going to hang Connor. Sure, why not? So they are going to hang the crap out of you in front of everyone, and all the Assassins are there, of course, and they save you and you stop the assassination of George Washington, who is just standing there, not even thinking of...you know, moving, and you kill the guy you are supposed to. I don't know, this chapter sucks. Then you go watch the Declaration of Independence get signed, but do they ask you to sign it? No, why would they? Who are you, anyway?
Then another modern day segment, in which you have to do the usual assassin's bullshit, only without a HUD, so it always sucks. This time you're in Brazil, at a boxing match, and there are armed guards looking specifically for you (there are even wanted posters of you hanging all over the place). You are trying to steal this power source from this rich lady, but some scumbag thief gets there first, so you have to chase him, and gah...
I did finally figure out how to turn on the machine, and got some nice info drops about how the Old Ones tried to save the world and what the hell the Apple is and it's kind of nice. Although more talk about the shitty Lucy subplot and how they retconned the crap out of that, blerg.
Then back to work, and Connor is being all pissy, and wants to warn the colonists about the very clear and obvious threat of the Templars, and for some shitty reason we aren't supposed to do that. Washington gives you a job to go look for some missing stuff, and you go to a church and Haytham is there and he's going to kill you. But he doesn't, and instead you do a team-up. Okay, sure, why not? And then I had to figut 13 guys for no reason, and then I dicked around in the Wilderness some, and then I stopped. Man, I sure did half-play the hell out of this game.
