Crash team racing was fun at the time but trying to go back and play it feels awful

You should play Black Flag because it's a next-gen version of Sid Meier's Pirates instead of an Assassin's Creed game

And therefore the only good Assassin's Creed game in years

Monotonous has those two meanings because they go hand in hand, if you like a monotonous speech or singer, then, well...
Anyway, it doesn't matter why people buy the game if they're still forced to play through it, as far as the s*** Desmond missions go, well, as far as any missions that are boring as f*** go. There are tons of boring missions, tons! I don't need to be a critic to say that, I'm looking at the game and judging how fun it is, and it, as my points all direct to it: not being fun. If I pick up the game, get 4 sequences of playing as Connor's dad, most of the time walking and talking, then get to play as Connor for the obligatory s*** intro/tutorial/whatever sequence, then get to roam around a forest of animals that I can hunt for only a little while before I get bored, then I can say that's not fun, not moderately fun at all. I used my own perspective to analyze the amount of enjoyment you can get, and the best I can come up with is a bit of hunting, and a bit of the savage killing style of Connor, being more of a brute than Ezio or Altair, who used more refined ways, it does feel a bit refreshing, none the less, what the game makes use of is very minimal and patchy, and many of the features end up feeling like a drag.

As far as Black Flag, I've never played it, I've heard good things about it, much better than 3, so I'll give it a shot one day, I guess.

idk if this is unpopular or not so i'd appreciate it if someone could confirm this but

999 > virtue's last reward

either way as long as you like both of them it's okay :>

hotline miami's soundtrack is terrible
