It is the strangest thing having a video game fandom again.

Assassin's-freaking-Creed. This trailer inspired me to pick up the first game, which we happened to have lying around.

I just started playing because my bro keeps playing his moe games (Neptunia) on his PS3--not my thing--and I was still craving some kind of DRAMATIC game. And at last, I can finally say I play western games. *__*

Really, honestly, I am not fit for this game. I have no taste nor tolerance for suspense. And yet. AND YET. 8V I LIKE IT. Although I turned off the blood. I am no less a pansy from this experience, so, no this is not a growing up thing. Pickpocketing is the hardest thing. I've missed jumping around and running about like in Ape Escape, and Assassin's Creed--dare I say it--does it better! Minus fancy kiddy gadgets and the like. And it's also scarier in Assassin's Creed. I'd stick around and ogle at the backgrounds except there're usually guards on my tail because I am a pro at inadvertently attracting their attention. |D So, yeah.

I've been dabbling in Odin Sphere, too, because I still need the bad endings, but, oof, grinding. x_x; Speaking of Odin Sphere, have you SEEN THE NEW VANILLAWARE GAME? HOLY CRAP THOSE BOOBS. Just...just go to the character page and look at them. You'll know instantly who I'm talking about. >_>;

Your back! Your poor poor back. ;___; I-It hurts to look. ...If I were to play this game, I'd probably use her, too, since I usually find myself acting as support... XDD; I'll admit, it's nice to see a more western flair to the designs (feels Dungeons and Dragons-y--which I only dabbled in in high school so idk), but, goodness gracious me--OWWWW. At least she has dem thighs to help her stand.

But I worry Vanillaware's scrapping plot in favor of gameplay like they did with Muramasa. Their new games (Dragon's Crown and Grand Knights History) seem to gravitate towards having a cast of generic characters, and I'd imagine it'd be difficult to develop much story with them. At least I still have my Odin Sphere for fun Vanillaware plot. )': Maybe I'll try GrimGrimoire...? NOT THAT I'VE EVER PLAYED AN RTS BEFORE.

Hahah, I started playing AC: Brotherhood just a few days ago. It's my first AC game and I might pick up the first two if I finish it. So far I really like it. 8D I gave up on pickpocketing because I hate being assaulted by guards if I get caught. XD

Yeeaah! *hi-fives* HAHAHAhaaaaa pickpocketing. I have to redo them like six times over because I'm JUST THAT BAD AT THEM. And I mentally flip when the guards start chasing me. |D;; So pro me. Supposedly I get another bar for my synch bar if I do all the missions though, so I'll probably continue torturing myself 'cause I'll prolly need it.

I should warn you that AC1 starts getting somewhat repetitive with the investigation missions, but the ability to explore and run around the city makes it all right for me. |3b Eeeee, I wanna play the Ezio ones soon~

I wonder how different Brotherhood is from the previous games. XD I haven't done many missions but I'm spending all my time trying to explore the map, getting treasure and liberating restricted areas. My friend didn't like either first two ACs because of the repetitiveness. :<

Btw, the guy who created the series will be working at my work starting next week. 8D They're treating him like a celebrity. XD;;

Huh, really? I heard it stopped getting repetitive by the second one, but oh well. XD I think I can tolerate it! I'm glad it ends up not being repetitive by Brotherhood at least! \o/

Basically my missions so far have been eavesdrop, save citizens, find viewpoints, pickpocket, interrogate, assassinate the person you've been sniffing around for, aaaand rinse and repeat for the next town...so I can understand how it gets irritating after awhile.

Ooooh, how cool! X3 Hahaha, well, hopefully the fans won't get too chaotic while he's around? |Db
