Thread revival part II - i've recently tried to get into this game as i've had it on my Steam list for a while now but never gotten around to it.
I must be about an hour in and i'm bored out of my mind. I absolutely loved the Batman games and I think the first AC is the best of them all so I would have thought more of the same would appeal, but it's just not grabbing me at all. The Nemesis system I just don't care about, you kill them and they just get replaced by another orc so what's the point apart from some flavour text when they engage you? The combat doesn't flow anywhere near as well as either game mentioned above - but the biggest gripe for me is the world. It's just a dull flavourless marshland with some cliffs, towers, bushes and a crapton of orcs thrown lazily onto it. They move around so it's just pure luck if you get jumped by one or ten of them and then it's just a case of hoping there isn't a powerful one there or one of those stupid big dog things otherwise you may as well just quit and reload, or hopefully try to run away and hide until they forget you, then reengage again and hope the same thing doesn't happen.
And the bow - whoever designed the controls needs walloping in the face with a spade. It's a finnicky tempramental load of old crap to use and I just found myself looking for ways to never have to bother with it.
Am I missing something here? Currently i'm rating it about a 3.5/10.
