| Assassin's Creed | Ubisoft Entertainment (Ubisoft Montreal) | 2008 | El comienzo estelar de la saga, a pesar de ser mucho más lineal y corto que sus predecesores (y unas misiones secundarias enormemente repetitivas), se hecha de menos no ser una arsenal andante que puede con toda la guardia de la ciudad: mucho más sigilo y huida y menos acción. Especialmente reseñable era la posibilidad de finalizar un asesinato siguiendo el diario de Altair, convirtiendo el encargo en un auténtico reto, además de la claustrofóbica situación de Desmond y la intriga que rodea todo el juego. Como reprochable, la enorme letalidad del agua, aunque también es cierto que es de gran ayuda contra los templarios. 8 de 10***2008-04-09 as boxed 2008-04-09 on Steam (eng,fre,ita,ger,spa)***[b]save points[/b] - there's only one save per profile, so make sure you back it up occasionally. Nothing worse than playing almost through the game and the save getting corrupted for whatever reason (such as BSOD). The saves are stored in `[code]%APPDATA%/Ubisoft/Assassin's Creed/Saved Games/[/code]´.***Latest version: 1.02 (as of 2008-05-14)***The story starts with Desmond Miles being kidnapped in 2012 by Abstergo Industries and put into the Animus machine, a device capable of drawing out genetic memories and allowing the user to re-live their ancestors' lives. For Desmond, this is the life of Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad (الطائر), an assassin who lived during the Third Crusade in 1191. Although the story skips the kidnapping and starts with Desmond jagged into the Animus and experiencing some synchronization issues with it. The game is difficult to categorize and abundantly lampshaded by the fact that most of the game takes place inside the Animus which has been created to produce a video game like experience, so effectively you're playing a video game inside a video game. And the experience produced by the Animus is an abstraction of sorts with various alterations that make it easier for the user to operate it, such as translating all languages to plain English and so forth. So any inconsistencies with reality are due to that, and since memories aren't exactly logical 1 to 1 copies of reality, much illogical instances can occur, some of which can be interpreted to mean some [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/JustBugsMe/Ptitlel59ywfenym8d?from=JustBugsMe.AssassinsCreed]very strange things[/url]. Things you may need to replay the whole game for:[spoiler]In memory block 4, you have a chance to pickpocket Vidic to get his security pen. This opportunity does not represent itself and replaying the memory block later does not roll back time in the "real world". After the credits you gain access to the conference room where you need Vidic's pen to access a computer, but there's nothing else after that besides your ability to replay the memory blocks and aim for 100% completion (collecting all the flags, killing the templars, scouting, and doing all the side tasks).[/spoiler]***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP or Vista * 2.6 GHz dual-core Pentium D or Athlon 64 X2 3800+ CPU * 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista) * 256 MB VRAM * Radeon X1600 or GeForce 6800 GPU * 8 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz or Athlon 64 X2 4400+ CPU * 5.1 capable soundcard***The PC version has 4 new missions compared to the original console version. Director's Cut Edition is apparently just alternate name for the thing and is in no way different from PC releases without that extra bit in their name. | labelimagesubject |
| Far Cry 2 | Ubisoft (Ubisoft Montréal) | 2008 | Con un entorno mucho más abierto que la anterior entrega, manejas a un futuro queso gruyere con patas y malaria en un entorno africano muy interesante. Juego muy completo, la misión de la plantación no tiene pérdida. P.D: Odiarás el proceso conocido como oxidación. 7 de 10***[b]Fortunes[/b] DLC features: Single player additional content: * Three brand-new weapons: Silenced shotgun, Sawed-off shotgun, Crossbow * Two new vehicles: Unimog, Quad Multiplayer additional content: * Additional weapons and four new exciting maps: Cheap Labor, Last Resort, Lake Smear, Fort Fury***[b]lives[/b] - this is almost the same as [url=/groups/info/deathless]deathless[/url]; you have 1 extra life which is used when you "die" and your partner arrives to drag you off to relative safety. However, if you die again before your partner is ready to save you (gain 1 up, so to speak), you die for good. You meet your partner in one of the safe houses when she's ready to do it again.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP w/ SP2 or Vista w/ SP1 * 3.2 GHz Pentium IV, 2.66 GHz Pentium D or Athlon 64 3500+ CPU * 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista) * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 6800 or Radeon X1650 GPU * 6 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Intel Core 2 Duo, AMD 64 X2 5200+ or AMD Phenom CPU * 2 GB RAM * 512 Mb VRAM * GeForce 8600 GTS or Radeon X1900 GPU * 5.1 soundcard***Far Cry 2, the next-generation first-person shooter from Ubisoft, will take you deep into the most beautiful but also most hostile environments in the world: Africa!

Caught between two rival factions in war-torn Africa, you are sent to take out "The Jackal", a mysterious character who has rekindled the conflict between the warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives. In order to fulfil your mission you will have to play the factions against each other, identify and exploit their weaknesses, and neutralise their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force. OPEN WORLD The extensive artistic research combined with the next-gen engine will allow you to explore over 50Km2 of seamlessly rendered African landscape. No game has ever provided such freedom of movement! DUNIA ENGINE The Dunia Engine was built specifically for Far Cry 2 by the award-winning Ubisoft Montréal development team. It delivers the most realistic destructible environments, amazing special effects such as dynamic fire propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic music system, non-scripted enemy A.I. and so much more... REAL-TIME IMMERSION Real-time story telling, systemic auto-healing, minimal in-game interface are just few of the features that will make you feel the tension of being alone against barbarous warlords that threaten thousands of innocent lives. WEAPONS OF CHOICE Choose from a wide range of weapons to make your way to your primary target. Meet the fight head-on with your machine-gun, go berserk with your machete or make stealth kills as a Sniper. If you feel that the atmosphere is not warm enough, light up your flamethrower and let your enemies and everything around them feel the heat. VEHICLES Fly, Drive, Run, slide and hover over the huge open world with your glider, trucks, cars, boats and much more. [Ubisoft] | labelimagesubject |
