  • AC3 I can see. Haven't delved into the SP yet but the game apparently has a multitude of layers of plot going on simultaneously. AC Liberation? 007 Legends? Uncharted: Golden Abyss? Mickey 2? These games were panned or outright mocked. Only Golden Abyss was any good, but action movie scripts don't belong. That any of the others might have better writing over games like Spec Ops: The Line? Seriously? I would like to nominate Journey to this regard as well.
