geebsGot my copy of AC3 in the mail today, so played a little of that today. Free-running seems the same so far, though one of the e-mails Desmond receives claims the animus was improved so that there's less of you accidentally jumping off in the wrong direction when scaling. I think combat has changed a little though. I've only gotten to do hand to hand so far, but I seem to remember countering working differently.
I'm a little worried about the change in lock-picking- No more of this holding a button down for a set amount of time, you actually have to do stuff to pick a lock! First you have to rotate the left stick until the game says you have it in the right place. Then you have to hold it there and then rotate the right stick until the game says you have it in the right place. THEN, while holding those two sticks in that exact position, you have to start tapping the r1 button a bunch. So it takes a fine touch, and isn't so hard when you're not under some sort of time constraint, but I'm sure in later missions there will be some stressors.
Oh heh, there are a couple of mini-games one can play, presumably for money once I have some. But I totally suck at them so far.
TV commentary:
SVU- Heh, Rollins' sister is were-panther chick from True Blood? She seems as much trouble here as she does on True Blood.
Criminal Minds- One of the creepier eps I can remember, what with CTB making the human and placenta mulch and feeding it to her daughter.
So, apparently some Glee fans are holding a convention for Faberry, which I only bring up because apparently its in Atlanta. I'm debating about checking it out, but I feel like I'd be the only guy there. Or at least the only straight guy there. Speaking of Glee, looks like a couple of the Glee songs for the upcoming Grease ep have leaked, "Born to Hand Jive" and "Greased Lightning". Not bad, I'm egg-cited for this.
