Default Shadow of Rome: AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!!

Believe what you might have read about this game.

The "hack"tion is really good (and humorously gory)... but the stealth sequences piss me off. The AI is so damned inconsistent that it's gotten frustrating... and the objectives are too vague. This is one of those games that I really could have used the guide. D'oh.

The coolest part of this game so far: making a guy piss himself before decapitating him. Best. Murder. Ever.

I've been dividing my time up between games the last few days and Shadow of Rome os great except the damn parts w/ octavious. I've just got past the arena and defeated "some animals" (don't want to ruin it for ya if you weren't there yet)
but back to a point where I'm using octavious again so I put it down for a sec. Might pick it back up tommorrow, great game.

Yes... the stealth missions-- starring everyone's favorite oaf, Octavious-- have killed (at least temporarily) the fun of Shadow of Rome for me.

I'm going back to Return to Arms for a few days, and then I'll try playing Shadows of Rome again.

It's just really annoying that the good parts of the game have be literally be unlocked by playing through the poorly-executed stealth bits.

Blah.

You took the words right out of my mouth Pete. As good as this game is is seems more like a chore to play w/ Octavious to get to the good parts w/ Agrippa. Very sad but very true.
