My Xbox Live membership recently lapsed. And damn it all, I just then got the itch to hunt down some fools like a hooded predator. Needless to say, the Assassin's Creed multiplayer modes keep bringing me back for more and the recent updates on Revelations are not helping me fight he addiction.
There is just something about it that appeals to me much more than running around with a death cannon in my hands. It is less twitch and more observation (even though some people still rush through it a bit). I love trying to hide while hunting my prey.
My original lamentations about it seem to be getting addressed. Revelations will be bringing lobby support which makes me ever so happy. However, more modes would be one of the greatest joys. I love Wanted mode, but I find it too short sometimes. Instead of having enough time to properly track and find your contract while staying hidden becomes a bit of a trick when people who are trying to desperately max their score within the time allotted are dashing from place to place. You have to leave your safety zone to hunt them down, which opens you up and the slippery slope emerges. I wish there was a mode or mechanic that emphasized the more studied approach. Perhaps I sould just play SpyParty instead.
Regardless, since SpyParty will be on PC and still a year or two away, AC will be my bloody drug of choice. I love it so, and it me.
