Desmond? I heard your name once before, Desmond, a long time ago. And now it lingers in my mind like an image from an old dream. I do not know where you are, or by what means you can hear me. But I know you are listening. I have lived my life as best I could, not knowing its purpose, but drawn forward like a moth to a distant moon. And here, at last, I discover a strange truth. That I am only a conduit for a message that eludes my understanding. Who are we, who have been so blessed to share our stories like this? To speak across centuries? Maybe you will answer all the questions I have asked. Maybe you will be the one to make all this suffering worth something in the end.
>>738574926It's astounding to me Ubisoft could once write scenes like that.
DESMOND
>>738575017god, we don't know how good we had it
They dropped the ball so fucking hard with 3, it's insane. Black Flag was the last fun one, and then it just went to shit.Unity still looks pretty good for today, but that's about it.
>>738574926Did they have to fuck over Altair like that? I know he was an asshole for most of 1, but he didn't deserve having his hot white wife murdered in front of him, told his son was executed thinking he was the one who ordered it, and left to die alone haunted by the apple's wisdom and everything he lost
>>738575136>the Christina missions in brotherhood
>>738575136>>738575206whoops wrong post>>738574926
Don't get me started on Black Flag. I have no idea how anyone likes Edward or praises the narrative of that game. The sage is an interesting concept, reversing what the animus does but is utterly wasted on the observatory nonsense. Since Desmond was killed off, the modern segments are a complete waste of time and serve no greater purpose other than Ubisoft devs to jerk themselves off over how meta they're being. For all the lamenting about Nassau's fall, all the pirates save Teach were shitty useless people you barely interact with, Mary especially since the game tries to pretend like you care about her. Adewale has no contact with the assassins yet can't keep their dick out of his mouth. Muh natives thought like Assassins bullshit. And Edward, after an entire game of not giving a fuck, sides with the assassins because he feels sad.It's a joke. Edward is in the position to wipe out the templars so many damn times. The sheer amount of plot contrivance. You can practically be the sea king of the fucking indies and everyone treats you like a bitch. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the concept of someone like Edward getting involved in the conflict on his own side could've absolutely made this game. But you cannot tell me this man is Haytham's father and therefore Connor's grandfather.
>>738575017It was more because they had a trilogy to work with so they could flesh out characters. Now it's the exact opposite where you have 150+ hour long games and MAYBE dozen hours of actual story.
>>738575306They don't. People like it because it lets you be a pirate. People who enjoyed BF tend to care least for the overall AC stuff.
>>738575206>It's a good life we lead brother. >The best. May it never change>And may it never change us
>>738575358That part of the game is good. It's a shame about damn near everything else
>>738575358so it's like unity and parkour?
>>738575456I thought unity was horrible and the worst for it
>resolves your franchise long established plot and villain in a comic
>>738575314I think they had a similar idea for Bayek in Origins, but like you said the games are individually simply too big with too much side shit that needs attention to actually give proper stories the attention they need. Also, giving parts of it to Aya was a mistake.
>>738575865Did anyone give a shit about this? They got Egypt wrong years before fucking up Japan. For fuck's sake, the soldiers you fight don't even use Greek weapons or wear Greek clothing in the distinctly Hellenized Ptolemaic Egypt.
>>738575865>dogshit RPG mechanics>retarded story>WE WUZ>turning from sci-fi to outright fantasy
>>738574926>your efforts were so strong that the message was sent across centuries after your deathI love when games (or any media) does things that's above and beyond.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KndDDQZveQ&pp=ygUSYWMgcmV2ZWxhdGlvbnMgb3N0
>>738576018>we never got AC3 set in the modern day with Desmond having the abilities of two of the deadliest men to ever live
I just got the Brutus armorthis shit looks like ass bro and you ca'n't dye it a less clashing colorand why can't you change the outfits of the recruits you turn into full assassins?this is offending my taste for aesthetics
>>738575136>argue to keep the original vision of AC intact>Ubi leaders want to make it annualized>you leavePatrice Desilets had the perfect idea to capoff the Desmond saga, ubishat had to ruin it allhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCaEk1tdBD8&pp=ygUZbm9sYW4gbm9ydGggZGVzbW9uZCBtaWxlcw%3D%3D
>>738576149>this is offending my taste for aestheticsget better taste lmao
>>738576235now post how it actually looks in the game
I never gave a shit about the sci-fi alien plot. Especially when Desmond suddenly was able to wall run
>>738575928Ultimately it was the wrong direction for the series. They needed to build from Unity and Syndicate instead of going for Witcher 3 wannabe.
>>738576273hello?bleeding effecthe could do eagle vision after
>>738576273>>738576308oh goddammit wrong emaili'd screenshot the actual one but i don't want to boot it up
>>738576286what the fuck is there to build from?those are all based on the thrown out juno plot, which wasn't good to begin with
>>738574926Shaun's emails from AC3 are straight up from the based department
>>738576464
>>738576464>based>means the oppositethis isn't funnyAC3 was when the woke shit began to seep in.The natives aren't even portrayed accurately: they literally asked them how they'd like to be portrayed. Historical accuracy my fucking ass
>>738576507
>>738576464>>738576507>>738576543did it ever occur to the writers the founding fathers were british, identified as british, and were raised british in america?
>>738576543
>>738574926Its hilarious that they had the 2012 Mayan calendar apocalypse as a driving part of the story.
>>738576590it was a big thing back thendo you remember all the classic y2k episodes?
>>738576576
>>738575017Asscreed 2 is probably one of my top 5 games, jesper kydds score is still in my rotation
>>738576661samei even prefer its combat to brotherhood's for some reasoni don't know: kill streaks feel wrong>>738576630And then everybody clapped
>>738576559you're kidding? they left their "british" identity, fought with their kind and drove them away, while indulging in the same kind of buffonary.Americans are just Brits with identity crisis
>>738576697your post certainly has an identity crisis
>>738574926>Maybe you will answer all the questions I have asked. Maybe you will be the one to make all this suffering worth something in the end.>"ok">*dies*
>>738576726we were robbed
>>738576661Ehh...2 might have the most errand boy type missions in the older AC games. And somehow the graphic's looked worse than ac1.
I genuinely have no idea why the series just kept going after they killed off Desmond when the actual based direction for the games would be him becoming the ultimate Assasin after living the lives of Ezio and Altair then taking the action to the modern world.
>>738576805God no. That's AC3 and even AC4 with it having a tailing segment/mission in damn near every fucking part.
Name a more kino moment in vidya than learning The Truth in AC2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8aOmMedA7E
>>738576830ubisoft began rubbing their hands>>738576863why do their asses look like that
>>738575017old ubi was really good, shame what happened to them
>>738576842Didn't black flag have a ship based tailing mission?
>>738576928yesit was so fucking retardedand the remain undetected in clear waters with no mist onesWHILE YOU ARE FLYING A GODDAMN BLACK FLAG
>>738576830so assassin Deus Ex?
>>738576082The one thing I was looking forward to and there was teases of it in AC3. Fuck everything.
>>738577002that would literally print money
>>738577007The hint of it at the end of 2 was more tantalizing to me because you got to flail miserably at the beginning as Desmond just to go all Ezio on them at the end.
>>738577034The part where he casually walked into Abstergo to get the ball back was pretty based though. Too bad that was all there was going to be.
>>738577256him revealing he could've just apple instant killed them all the entire time was what the melinated refer to as "flexing"
>>738577256it was his dad in exchange for the ball ackshully
I revelations good? Nearly done with brotherhood. Heard the rot of the series kind of pops in there
>>738577502It's alright, but they made a few boneheaded design changes that make the game much more frustrating to play. The timer for getting paid pauses when you do missions, and resets when you move to a new map, so 100% is a much greater slog than it was in Brotherhood.
>>738577736oh
>Ezio apologizing to Leonardo for destroying the boat sinker because even he knew it was fucking cool
>>738578327Fuck the goddamn bomber missionwho is the fucking retard who has never used a glider in their life who made that dogshit?
>>738577420Oh right. It's been 20 years
>>738578834almostjesus christ, im getting old
>>738574926>Ezio is the most popular character>he's defined by moments like this>how his world was shattered, and he built back up to be even higher and stand at the top of it, just for it to only matter to be a camera for Desmond, and now he has to come to terms with that>yet people also hate that there's modern elements at all and wish them completely removedHow the fuck can this cognitive dissonance existEspecially since like, it's really only AC1 and AC3 that don't let their historical stories be so heavily affected by the Modern and Precursor elements.
>>738577502I was getting tired of the series when it came out, but replaying the ezio collection recently I saw no reason to rank it below brotherhood. It's got everything that worked, but bigger, smoother, and with more variety.
>>738576308>The continent of Africa is now virtually uninhabited.Based plague.
>>738579154is it any wonder why you see no blacks?
>>738578925can you customize your recruits in that one?
>>738575143that is... completely and utterly inaccurate anonaltair's son was with him right before he entered the library. altair told him to go and live with his family and that he loved them
>>738579334i mean altair's first son or was it the second?
>>738576630thanks for reminding me why shaun is such an annoying little cunt who needs a punch to the face
>>738579418he wasn't even that badits just that email sounds like what a retarded white women who thinks the british dindu nuffin either by their own standards would say
>>738578694That one was surprisingly easy upon returning to it. It's the full-sync shit for the Tank that pissed me off.
This ending is what all men truly desire: the absolute clarity Ezio experiences in that moment. All purpose and meaning converge into a single, infinitely small point.
>omg Minerva talks directly to (You), the player! So meta!Remember when gamers were retarded? Oh, right, that was yesterday.
>>738574926Haven’t played an AC since Brotherhood, is Mirage worth picking up?
>>738579765she was talking to desmond brainlet>>738579791lol no
>>738574926I want to go back to 2011, when AC was good
>>738576590its what made the games kino
>>738576882>why do their asses look like thatThey're not nude - they're wearing semitransparent bodysuits with markings on them.
>>738579819I can still replay that whole trailer in my head even though I haven't seen it in 15 years >>738580016
>>738580016disobedient sex toys or just unruly half-breed human/precursor hybrids
>>738580196Didn't mean to quote the second anon lol
>>738574926I replayed the trilogy recently and Revelations was really good. It was actually not just a rehash again, shows Ezio after his prime and is short and sweet, doesn't overstay its welcome. Brotherhood on the other hand was a massive slog to get through.
>>738580465brotherhood is short as fuck though?
>>738579819This with Iron in the background, just amazing.They always had had these amazing trailers.
AC1, 2, Brotherhood and Revelations were great. AC3 was ass, and Black Flag was good solely for the open world gameplay and nothing else.
>>738576273>people still think the First Civilisation are aliensThe first one you see literally tells you they were just a more advanced people that came before modern humans. Minerva looks straight at the camera and says this at the end of 2
>>738580702alien can mean many thingsin comparison to humans, they areand to them, humans are more akin to animals
>>738580491NTA but both were shorter than two with only nine sequences compared to fourteen.
>>738580196>>738579819The trailer that saved Woodkid's entire career
>>738579245Yeah, you can, more than in Brohood.
>>738579334NTA but as far as I remember Altair had at least two sons and one was named after Malik from AC1
>>738580917now i must play itrecruit only women and headcanon ezio is just fucking his harem of foreign beauties
>>738580969weirdly wholesome
>>738580491on paper maybe but it just came off as long winded to me. maybe I had italy fatigue by then. the same cast of characters and plot beats probably didn't help.
Everyone shits on the tower defense side missions in Revelations but I liked building a barricade and filling it with crossbow and musket assassins
>>738581059Im retarded i just looked it up and their names are Sef and Darim
>>738576590>>738579963It was the craze for a while.
I keep thinking it's ridiculous for Ezio to have guns in his lifetime when handgonnes and cannons were a thing by then
THE HOOKBLADE HAS TWO PARTS
>>738581090I did it only couple of times when the story mandated it. Same with bombs. You built what you liked and called it a day.
>>738580702>Looks straight at the camera>Look at THESE, anonWhat did she mean by this?
>>738581219>Who are you talking to? There's no one else here.
>>738580917I wonder if Revelation's recruit system was somehow affected by online services.
"desmond....were in a shitty video game from 2010, desmond....kill obama...end western video games..."
>>738581160Remember when he fucked Carla with his zombie dick?
>At one point I remember thinking about getting a tattoo of either the AC logo or the Outsider symbol from Dishonored on my handThank God for impulse control
they couldn't get anyone to consult on their italian usage?
>>738581469the outsider's mark is pretty cool, nglbut getting tattoos fucks with your skin and thyroidlook it upgood for ye old inflammation from arthritis reduction but not so much for anything else
>>738579578that one was piss easy though?Your attack makes the opposing tanks attacks stop for a bit
>>738582287It was easy when I first did it all those years ago, but for some reason it was a total skill issue on a replay.Don't know why. The rest were fine.
OK I will replay ezio games
>>738582334bueno
>fail an undetEcted synchronization right at the end because the objectIve is right on the guardFUCK YOU WITH A RUSTED SPIKE YOU FUCK
>>738582741bene, ritardato ignorante
People shit on Ezio but Brotherhood would've happened if he killed Rodrigo or not>>738583165loooool
>>738583218It was a retarded move letting Rodrigo live but I understand why they had to do it to set up Cesare and to not mess with history too much.(Beyond making everything an Assassin/Templar conspiracy tied to a precursor civilisation, that is.)
>>738583378He broke Rodrigo
>5 games and 30.000 years of careful ayy planning>dude touches a console and diesBravo Ubisoft
>>738583413He broke my heart :(
>>738581270>never sent assassins on missions unless it was a 100% success rate>final, hardest mission could only reach 93% success rate with maxed out assassins>sweating bullets the entire time waiting for it to completeIt was truly a different time

>>738584016yes
>summoning all your assassins on the final mission against cesare's forcesfgm
>And take the money>On your meager salary, you'll need itkek
>>738584016Yeah man, Krillin is the strongest human for a reason.
jesus christthey looked at the cesare fight and decided all fights should be like that in origins and after
>>738584016Do you understand how badly we would be fucked if it happened now?

>72 days>on the year xx72>adds up to 72spoopy
I forgot Juno straight up appeared to Desmond from nothing
damn rebecca had tits
When I first played ac1 I thought lucy was played by the terminator 3 woman>>738584965I require physical proof of your claim
And Lucy's dead.I guess the sixth sense is precognition, which may as well be knowledge. It's how they can tell the future literal milennia in the past to some degree. The precursors had mad steamy hate sex with humans "abhor and honor". Tsundere ass aliens.Desmond having two bloodlines related to the ayys must be what let him use the apple without taking damage like Ezio did.
>>738584965
how long are these fucking credits
>>738584605when /x/ was dooming about it earlier this year, i was relieved at the thought, honestly
>>738583150Bro I just got to the part in my brotherhood replay where you have to carry a box disguised as a guard with no directions in under 3 minutes for full sync and I missed it by about 5 seconds it's such ass
>>738586402>mfw got full sync for that mission on my first try this playthrough.
Assassin's Creed Revelations or Ezio's Humiliation Ritual
>>738586402i don't even know why i do itfull snych doesnt do anything>>738586676what's stopping ezio from just sneaking back in?he practically runs the city with the local chapter
>>738575136this 4 shouldve been 3. 3 was abysmal ass. its obv that the ending of 3 was supposed to have a choice. but instead its just a cutscene
>>738575640>>resolves your franchise long established plot and villain in a comicwhat even is the resolution?
>>738586758The Turkish Assassins got btfo'd hard with the Templars attacking them from under their nose and Yusuf dead, and all their troubles started when Ezio came into the picture so I reckon they don't want him there any longer either. Ezio spent the whole game being played like a fiddle by everyone and he constantly complains about back pain so he's not in the best shape to do anything solo (canonically speaking ofc with the player in control you could just make him beat everyone up).
I can't remember why Lucy betrayed Desmond, was it something like "it doesn't matter who wins if the sun fucks us all amd the Templars have a better chance of stopping it"? I honestly can't remember. I hope it was actually part of the plot and not some oopsy poopsy bullshit like a writer left ubisoff and took his notes with him
>>738586758Full sync for a sequence gives you access to a corresponding cheat in memory replay.
>>738576590It dates the games slightly, sure, but it did add a cool little time pressure component to things.I actually kind of miss when schizos were obsessed with specific dates for the apocalypse and came up with crazy theories for it. Nowadays, people are claiming every week that the end is nigh and it’s going to be “two more weeks” and it’s tiresome.
>>738574926>scenes I can hear
>>738586962iirc she was a mole for the assassin infiltrating abstergo but they kinda left her alone for too long and then she got convinced to switch sides
>>738586868desmond's secret son who is a sage puts a stop to ityes, really>>738586910you give them a full roster of highly skilled assassins
>>738586676To be fair his entire trilogy was a humiliation ritual.He's a shit character through and through, hard carried by the macho chad persona that normalfags eat up.>watches his father and brothers get killed and can't do shit about it>he isn't there to save his mom from getting raped either>gets kekholded by his gf cristina>doesn't kill his main target rodrigo on multiple occasions despite having the opportunity>gets the apple and immediately loses it like a bitch, causing his hometown to get burned to the ground and his waifu to get killed>leaves the rodrigo alive for no reason>causes rodrigo's son cesare to destroy his villa, getting his uncle killed>his sister and mom now gotta work in a brothel lmao>machiavelli needs to step in and scrape his broke ass together>saves caterina sforza from the castello and she just leaves him cause she knows he's a bitch>multiple opportunities to kill cesare but instead gets him imprisoned, which he escapes and that causes thousands of deaths in spain>goes to turkey, blows up an entire armada in collateral damage just to leave the city>completely suffocates the cappadocia cavern city population with gunpowder smoke to kill 1 dude>gets best bro yusuf killed because he was trying to get his dick wet in a bookstore bitch>his entire life's purpose was to be a camera for desmond>dies of a heart attack shaking hands with a nigga, never seeing his kids grow upHe's a bitch. A BITCH. And a shit assassin who broke the tenets 1000 more times than altair ever did.
>>738586758>full snych doesnt do anythingI've owned Brotherhood since release and I'm just learning this now?
>>738586962>>738587103that's the given answerthe real answer is her va asked for more money than she was worth so they killed her off
>>738587112lolfunny but it didnt happen
>>738587185literally all of this happened exactly like this in the three games and the embers movie
>>738587104>desmond's secret son who is a sage puts a stop to it>yes, reallywas there an explanation why there was no mention of a son before? lol the saddest part of the real world sections is that they purposefully butchered it to make more annualized games in the future and milk the franchise but then abandoned the real world shit anyways in future instalments making the butchering pointless. they couldve resolved the story properly as patrice desilets envisioned and then just done the "its a console now" bs anyways
>>738587256desmond admits to being weak to pussy in his retarded revelations minigame puzzlethat's the best "proof" anyone can point at
>>738587256that's what happens when 20 different directors work on a seriesasscreed already lost the plot with 2
>>738587347lol no
>>738587112>his waifu to get killedNigga what? His piece at the time was Caterina Sforza who he then rescues from prison then she fucks off back to Forli, the village chick doesn't count she exists for one side mission in thr beginning of brotherhood and all she does is exposition to him about how Claudia misses him and wishes she wasnt stuck in the villa for 20 years
>>738575372Wish I could go back to 2009, the years definitely changed me.
>>738576235The hood just being an old wrinkly rag killed it for me
>>738587347in a perfect world. they shouldve never fired patrice desilets. they shouldve allowed him to FINISH the story and then reboot the franchise with otherts to milk it. or just not milk it at all and allow him to make 1666 and other franchises for the company. yet anothert example of INVESTORS ruining everythign they touch
>>738587386yeah it looks like shit>>738587374She didn't age a damn day.if she really were a whore and not a madame, she'd be well paid
>>738587379I wouldn't want that me to see me as I am now. He deserves to live in blissful ignorance. He was such a hopeful boy. I can't even recognize him as myself anymore.
>>738587374Brohood repressed Cristina missions. Savonarola gets the apple, goes to brainwash Firenze, Cristina gets caught in the crossfire amidst the slaughter and fucking dies in Ezio's hands, saying she always loved him.
I loved the puzzles in 2, the asscreed setting felt so interesting back then.
>Ezio's memories of Christina are so painful he represses them on a genetic level
>>738587789it was pure kino
>>738587789I played the fuck out of AC:B back in the day but I completely forgot it has it's own Truth puzzle. I'm glad it's only 10 instead of 20 like AC2 had
>>738574926in AC3, connor speaks mohawk which is spoken by maybe 100 people today, and like 20 of those are in the game. in far cry primal (beginning of the ubislop era), they reconstructed 3 different dialtects of proto indo european for the characters. Ubisoft was just movin different man. or pic rel for writing quality.
>>738587868I wonder what Eve in the garden of eden was really supposed to be since Juno also eludes to a woman he needs to meet.
>>738574926how is Hagia Sophia IRL? Might plan on travelling Istanbul.
You now remember that a movie happened
>>738587550Same. Hope we crawl out of it.
>>738587940disgustingturkified greeks are a monstrosity
>>738574926I will go to my grave angry about the way they butchered Desmond's story in AC3. Literally what was the point? Can Ubisoft stop being faggots and just make a non-canon one off game with Desmond as a master Assassin in the modern day and saving the world from 2012? I just want a proper end to that storyline.
>>738575640>>738586868Juno will be back. Trust the plan
>>738588010it's over anoneven if they pull that time travel bullshit, they're going to rape the original story anyway
>>738588037how the fuck do decade old graphics look better than this
>>738587934His personality is close to his origin too. Stoic and disciplined like they were IRL. Connor's shines in the homestead missions, with how much kindness he has in his heart. And people call him boring protag lol.
>>738588108Connor just feels too much like a tool. None of Altair's arrogance nor Ezio's burning passion. Connor doesn't learn anything or change.
>>738584664ngl, it is extremely funny to think about
>>738584664>>738588195>mfw what I feel is my life is just my descendant reliving it and knowing the utter agony my existence was
>>738576464>>738576507>>738576543>>738576576>>738576630>When you let the Reddit intern write something
>>738577502Its ok but really just pure filler. The story is forgettable because again, its filler. Just watch the epilogue with Ezio's death on Youtube.
I can't believe people actually miss Desmond. He sucked.
>>738588365t. British Cuck yahtzee
>>738588282Refute any of it.
>>738588360all the games may as well be filler at this point
>>738575017>>738574926Didn't the entire desmond story end in a wet fart? Nothing you experienced matter and the bad guys just kept going on as usual?
>>738575372Anon why ..
>>738588384Fair point
>>738588181Yeah true. I view it bit differently. He worked for his tribe for most of the game, but after his brother's betrayal + killing his father, he learnt how "real life" actually is and worked to stand on his own in a newly emerging world. It's not frontloaded like other two protag (and nothing wrong with that), like his nation, he was just stoic and adaptable.
>Mother, Father, I am sorry. I have failed you both. I made a promise to protect our people. I thought…I thought if I could stop the templars—if I could keep the Revolution free from their influence—that those I supported would do what was right. They did—I suppose—do what was right… What was right for them.>As for you, Father: I thought I might unite us, that we would forget the past and forge a better future. In time I believed you could be made to see the world as I did; to understand…but it was just a dream. This too, I should have known. Were we not meant to live in peace, then? Is that it? Are we born to argue? To fight? So many voices, each demanding something else… It has been hard at times, but never harder than today to see all I worked for; perverted, discarded, forgotten! You would say I have described the whole of history, Father. Are you smiling, then? Hoping I might speak the words you long to hear? To validate you? To say that all along, you were right?>I will not.>Even now, faced as I am with the truth of your cold words, I refuse, because I believe things can still change. I may never succeed—the Assassin's may struggle another thousand years in vain—but we will not stop! Compromise. That is what everyone has insisted upon. And so I have learned it. But differently than most, I think… I realize now that it will take time; that the road ahead is long, and shrouded in darkness. It is a road that will not always take me where I wish to go, and I doubt I will live to see its end. But I will travel down it nonetheless. For at my side walks hope. In the face of all that insists I turn back, I carry on. This…>This is my compromise
>>738588604Great character, equally terrible father
>>738587940If I had the money I'd rather fund the restoration project, the least thing we could do, not just for preservation
>>738588401The implication Founding Fathers are revered for being good role models and not having world changing achievements under their belt.
>>738588401SureYou are judging them by modern standards of morality. If you wanna do that, then you are saying the entirety of humankind before whatever you call it as "modern" were evil.

>>738588108AC3 was the first ac game i actually played so i def have rose tinted glasses, but damn i love this game and connor. the homestead missions are all fantastic as well as his interactions with haytham. in the ac3 book he even laments that he was too young and stupid to get along more with his dad, saying stuff like "it's too late, how can i tell you that i now understand you?" after he killed him.
>>738588706tbf with unity they went all out with the aesthetic, yeah the parkour is broken but at least it's a beautiful broken mess. and making paris 1:1 and having it not be as terrible as london was in syndicate was nice too. not to mention how unity was the peak of AC fashion with the modular equipment and colors.
>>738588604>You were right about everything all along dad...but I disagreeBRAVO KOJIMA
>>738588604his debates with Haytham had be thinking that Assassin's ideas could be flawed too. Loved the scenes with both of them.Like Luke and Darth Vader.
>>738587934>>738588706Pre Covid era was just a different time. Economy was decent and companies were willing to invest in cool but non-practical stuff like this for bragging rights. Nowadays everything is about maximizing profit for as little effort as possible.
>>738588401what's the point?like yeah what he says is factual but like he said all of it is common knowledgehe's being a pedantic piece of shit. I like to leave as little of this shithole game in my memory as possible so am I missing something? Is there some context before this where Desmond sends him an email jacking off GW? It comes off as some british douchebag's completely unsolicited SJW rant... being forced into a AAA game for dudebro stoners in the peak SJW rampup eraShaun wants to rant about the US not being woke enough in 1776. My nigger in christ, what about people in his own country sentencing Oscar Wilde to 2 years hard labor just for being a faggot?the entire plot of the game is already "btw the templars were in the right this time and sometimes the Assassins are wrong" was all this shit really necessary?
>>738588770this but unironically>>738588710>If only you never existed. If none of you were ever born!>I did everything they told me to>Hard work only brings more pain and wasted effort>It's all just luck. None of this is real.

>>738587940underwhelming but it's one of those things you just have to see at least once. arrive 10-15 minutes before the opening (9am iirc) and there won't be any line, you can buy the ticket up front. they'll try to fleece you into paying triple for a hagia sophia + museum + blue mosque ticket so if that's not what you want make sure to tell them you want ONLY hagia sophia. also don't miss the viking runes carved into the upper floor.
>>738589321my rambling and rationalizations>It's right for you to fight for yourself but not in a way that intrudes on others. But if everyone is stomping down on you, you have to just take it?>I forgave you. I was the bigger man. I accepted you were all flawed. Just leave me the fuck alone already.>That dog was worth more than all of you. He was my best friend. And I killed him All because I couldn't help him anymore. His smile when I took him in to die will haunt me until the end of my days.>I am happiest alone. I yearn for the company of others but all I get are burns. Something must be wrong with us to be like this.
We spent so long wondering if we could never pausing to question if we should. Has there ever been a game so kino that caused so much destruction?
>>738576308A plague depopulating a continent (and only just that continent) in 3 months is pretty insane, now that we've seen covid. It could only be like that if it was specifically designed to target ethnic africans, but then it would still be fucking up the americas.
>>738587468You don't even really need to reboot anything. The game had a fantastic premise for history hopping adventures that could be self contained and low stakes in the real world. Finish the trilogy and then just plan for endless spinoffs.
>>738589631>kinofunny way to spell dogshit
>>738589631at least this and odyssey were honest about being nothing like classic creed, though being called "ASSASSIN'S CREED" is still a shame
>>738589027This is why I love ac rouge (the last one ac I will ever play unless I replay other older ones)it tried to show how neither assassins nor templars are perfect and exposed the weaknesses of their creeds, it would have been interesting to see more of it but I'm not fond of todays Ubisofts writers

I had teachers, but there was no mentors. I had pets, but I am left with the sad void of their passing. If I died, I'd be furious my funeral wouldn't be about my life but the grief of those who think they know me. I am the only one I speak to in earnest. That and strangers I will never meet. This isn't living: I'm observing my own existence.
>>738578925>replaying the ezio collection recently I saw no reason to rank it below brotherhood. It's got everything that worked, but bigger, smoother, and with more variety.Bigger and more variety? Not really. The map doesn't have nearly as many iconic landmarks as Brotherhood, the main story has so much fluff, the Assassin tombs from AC2 and Brotherhood are gone (I think there's literally 1 of them and it's used as a story mission), there's no assassination contract side missions, in fact there's basically no side content at all. All it added was bomb crafting, which amounts to a gimmickApparently Revelations was originally gonna be a portable game before it was quickly turned into a mainline console game, and it shows

Anyone else feel like the assassination targets peaked in the first game? Starting with AC2, I feel there were alot of forgettable targets, whereas I still remember every target from AC1.
>>738590330We are in your walls in planting thoughtshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q23jxU4vFj0Make your stand here!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fityz5_grUDefend that area
>>738592646The variety to AC1 assassinations fell to the wayside when the scope widened in the sequels.The only one from 1 i disliked was the guy who tours the docks. and simply due to the instant death water and sperging retards npc type that would push you into it.
>>738592773I remember years ago having a conversation with a friend about Assassin's Creed being a stealth series that forgot it's a series about stealth>Metal Gear Solid is a stealth game, Assassin's Creed an action game with some stealth in itNow remembering ACR literally had you building fortified walls with flamethrowers i can see his point
>>738592646People shit on the first game for being empty and boring compared to even 2 but having to do all the legwork yourself with no distractions besides pointless collectibles was the best at selling the whole "You are an assassin in a borderline fanatical order of assassins" compared to the other games
>>738593098Stealth game that turns into action game when discovered, bravo Kojimbles
Taking back Tsargrad one beaten muslim woman at a time
>>738592454download the presynced mod for 2, brotherhood and revelationstaking more than 2 enemies at once is terrifying
poor clayhe got fucked over so hard
>>738574926Ive been playing the desmond saga and currently in brotherhoodI still dislike 2 and love brotherhood and 1i hope revelations doesnt get too boring
>>738576308is it mentioned in the most recent games? like origins where modern sequences are in egypt
>>738592646The first game formula needed to be ironed out, being about assassinations not "open world" gaming like AC2 and onwards
>>738595012lol no
>>738593064If anything, the problem with AC2’s assassinations is that they were too gimmicky. Probably the most egregious example is the carnival assassination where you have to win 3 carnival minigames to lure the target out, and then the actual kill itself is a forced hidden gun tutorial where you HAVE to use the gun.2 has more than double the targets that 1 has, but what that leads to is a lot of them being underdeveloped and killed in a mission with no build up. I remember even as I kid that I was disappointed that 2 did away with the Bureaus and having to learn things about the target before going in for the kill. IMO, the way they should have done it is make the investigations their own unique side quests, but then keep the assassination and escape formula the same.
>>738591472>Who cares about popularityYou lol, thats the reason you are still bitching about Ezio.
It's retarded that Ubisoft killed off Desmond after showing what a modern day AC would be like in the Abstergo raid in AC3
>>738574926>build present-day plotline for FIVE fucking games>kill the MC in with some completely random bullshit and ends the game in a cliffhanger>next game is a pirate simulator and the present-day sequences are unrelated bullshit that doesn't go anywhereThat was when Ubishit died for me. After AC3 and AC4, I decided to never give them another penny, and it fills me with joy to see their newer releases flopping and everyone dunking on them.
>>738597668Apparently the original creator was planning on only making three games, and the last one was supposed to be set entirely in the present.However, Ubishit decided to fire him and milk the franchise forever while making it increasingly shittier over time.
>>738597361Point me at a sentence in my post where I 'bitched', pussy. I just stated facts.
>>738575017Such is the rot brought on by antiwhiteism and White erasing developer teams.
>>738598215They didn’t fire him. He left because he refused to milk the series. He’s responsible for all the good AC games.
>>738576464>haha>i am very antiwhite>White history is evil>hahaubisoft were always faggots.
Ezio will gorge on Turkish, Greek, Gypsy, and Slav pussy instead of French and Italian pussy for once
>>738576576>>738576630>the founding Fathers would accept all religionsHoly fucking shit. NO.They abso-FUCKING-lutely would NOT accept or tolerate islam in America. They'd know it is completely counter and destructive to our way of life. They made a White Christian nation for White Christians. Catholicism, Protestantism, etc would be allowed, but not shit like islam or buddism, etc.These lies peddled by antiwhites are so tiresome

>>738600694after Desmonds death, the modern bullshit doesnt even matter
>>738588401He's an antiwhite shitbag.(You) refute why loathing fags is wrong.They are well known to be disease chasing pieces of shit that sexually abuse kids. Keeping them out of society is 100% a good thing.Same for keeping women out of power. Giving women rights rined the Greeks, the Romans, is killing modern society, etc.Plus Shaun is completely ignoring how everything said of the Founding Fathers applies to every great British leader or writer, French, German, Russian, etc.You don't just cast aside and demonize your forefathers because modern society is morally bankrupt and subversive as Hell.You being an antiwhite shit heel is your own problem.
>>738599464It's kinda stupid for the assassins to uphold the ottoman rule status quo especially since it's only been 80 or so years since they took the city
>>738600803The classic AC multiplayer was lifted from a game called The Ship.
>>738575017Ubisoft didn't write it. A corporation cannot write. A human wrote it. That human left Ubisoft.
>>738598378>He's a shit character through and through, hard carried by the macho chad persona that normalfags eat up.>He's a bitch. A BITCH.Yep, totally not bitching and seething lmao. Your favorite assassin is irrelevant and Ezio is the face of the franchise, its okay dude. A BIIIITCH kek
>>738601217>>738600803That shit was so fucking good it's ubnreal.Put so many hours into both 3 and 4's multiplayer.No game picking up those ideas is a real fucking shame.

>>738602080Explain why Ezio is so great then. Refute everything I wrote in my original post. Your dismissal of any criticism is saying he's hurrdurr popular therefore good. That's not enough.
do you think humans raped the ayys or the ayys raped the humans?
>>738600803>a fall guys cloneThe fuck?
>hear that the only multiplayer still active is black flagFUCKING HELL its badthis shit doesnt work at all with the colonial parkour controls
>>738604240
>>738600694All of them, yes. Even Shadows currently has Abstergo making Skynet and letting it do what it wants even though they can see it's starting to get progressively more evil. Mirage was the only one that didn't really do anything because the intro is just following up on Valhalla's epilogue where Loki gave William his Isu blood so the Assassins now have an actual Isu sample they've been looking for since the Animus was created and a random Assassin wanted to view Basim's memories from the blood and William goes "Okay, just know he's got a messed up life". They cut an ending where a radar dish started up in the middle of the desert but that's about it.
>>738584605Set back to the 1930's at the worst
>>738590330AC threads are fairly regular, it's just ever since around Origins' release they've been more and more uncommon while dying way quicker than they used to. Some aren't even hitting like 100 posts anymore when 300ish was the norm. Shadows really didn't help since there's a whole four people outside of me who have even played it here in all the months that I've seen.>>738590941
>>738602975It happened both ways.
>>7385909411 > Brotherhood > 2 > Revelations > Unity > Rogue > Black flag > 3 the rest dont matter as far as im concerned
>>738606954kek this all sounds like a convoluted Marvel lore. They got lost in their own sauce.Glad I hopped of AC pre-RPGification.
>>738590941>From that I've playedS : BrotherhoodA : AC 3, AC 2, Revelations (barely)B : AC 1>Planning to playAC4, Rogue, Unity (kinda meh on it), Syndicate (I find Evie Frye very cute).I'll try Origins for few hours, but I'm not hoping to stick with it.
>>738584605It would mess up our hospitals, food supply, factories, supply chain, and trade for decades but it's not like we don't have contingency plans for things and can't work around old systems.Back in the 1800s we had something similar happen to a much less developed electrified grid, and while it did knock stuff out for several days and do obscene damage to the world's economy at the time (15% of the world's production affected) it wasn't catastrophic.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_EventEven if it's the AC-level solar flare where it literally kills people just because it happens I don't see why after a few years we couldn't replace the major affected electronics and work through the issues. Sure, we're more reliant on it now but the big boys outside of arguably Germany (Since they're more industry-focused nowadays) should be able to easily bounce back due to their domestic production of various goods necessary for daily life. Obviously we'll have to go back to shipping or something, but if the telegraphs still worked during the Carrington Event theoretically that niche community could still keep things working diplomacy-wise and getting things going.
>>738589568thanks anon
I am really really interested in Assassin's Creed Hexe, that will follow the German inquisition which by the way was the most brutal inquisitions of them all.
>>738610037Is that around the time the Old Prussians were ethically cleansed?
>>738611027*ethnically
>holy shit, ninja assassin in Japan! I can't wait to play it in two years!
>>738576286>and Syndicatebetter to pretend this one doesn't exist
>>738611217I have no clue why they bothered including Yasuke in Shadows. A ninja-focused AC is an absolute slam dunk on paper.
>>738610037what I find interesting is they fired the ''magic disguised as futuristic tech'' writers and got a guy who will scrap all the magic bullshit out
>Make him an assassin gone crazy mastermind>he even makes the main protagonist run away scared>his final boss battle, he turns into a lumbering retard with the AI of a normal enemyI fucking hated this shit so bad. His real identity should've been Jacob but ubi pussied out
>>738590941Brotherhood>2>Revelations>3>14 ranks close to 2 in terms of fun but is not an AC game.
>>738610037I'm interested to see how they're going to fuck it up.
The ending of valhalla implies they want to use time travel or something similar to stop desmond dying at the end of AC3 and instead just let the 2012 end of the world thing happen.
>>738612219>3>1Come on now. 1 is in the top 3 at least for having the best story and atmosphere in the franchise and also being the most true to the “assassin” concept in a way that would be replicated until Unity and Mirage.
>>738612032>magic disguised as futuristic techThat's what it should have been. Instead they were saying you were going to be using actual magic i.e. not PoEs by turning into a cat.>>738612343No it doesn't. It implies that they're going to get Desmond (As The Reader) a body like Juno got and they're going to figure out a way to save Layla while combing through Isu data and brainstorming in things they may have overlooked. Origins is the only one that implies some sort of butterfly effect or ability to change time but none of the games after it have remotely followed up on that thought process.
>>738612386In terms of story and atmosphere, and also visuals, yes. But the gameplay and overall design were still pretty rough.
>>738612654I think it’s aged better than people give it credit for. It’s a little jank by today’s standards, but it wasn’t for the time. I feel like if they remade it with Unity’s gameplay, it would be even better.
>>738612470>That's what it should have beennot in the way they've been using it.Remember in 1,2 through Revelations the pieces of eden were mysterious artifacts, that not everyone could wield, they were sparse and connected to real events and real figures.then they started using them for anything and everything and we ended up having immortal fucks walking around. And then you end up with mythical beings, time travel, etc. and its all excused with bullshit like>oh you cant believe a bit of magic in the lore? its just isu tech, dont worry about it.
>>738612845Pieces of Eden were always futuristic technology that looked like magic to everyone. The Shroud of Eden is just a fancy nanotech cloth fiber that uses Consus' digitized consciousness to diagnose your issues. The Apples of Eden are basically batteries that have some secondary functions. Altair literally used the one he got from Al Mualim to research how Adamant worked and applied it to his and his followers' Hidden Blades. The weapons like the Spears of Eden and Swords of Eden seemed more for ceremonial deals rather than in actual use because they clearly had guns in their time period. Even in AC3 you directly see that the Isu just live in basically giant skyscraper-laden cities meaning they were just more technologically advanced than we currently are.They only started using it to actually justify magic in Origins onward with Origins making it so that mass group think in the Egyptian religion allowed Curse of the Pharaohs to happen, Odyssey made it so that the Apples projected a threat to the person perceiving it to keep them away from Isu Vaults and it was basically just an amalgamation of bodies being used to physically provide the mass for the Apple to keep them away. Valhalla's Isu content is all a drug binge by Eivor except for the one temple which just has platforming challenges to power up an AI and Yggdrasil which itself is just a computer. Mirage had no magical content outside of implying The Old Ones are real in-universe. Shadows directly showed you Yokai are real but that's about it.
>>738613495>They only started using it to actually justify magic in Origins onward with Origins making it so that mass group think in the Egyptian religion allowed Curse of the Pharaohs to happen, Odyssey made it so that the Apples projected a threat to the person perceiving it to keep them away from Isu Vaults and it was basically just an amalgamation of bodies being used to physically provide the mass for the Apple to keep them away.

Mirage had no magical content outside of implying The Old Ones are real in-universe. Shadows directly showed you Yokai are real but that's about it.see how that is just a bunch of mumbo jumbo? thats the problem
>>738613636Yes, and prior to that no one took issue with them being futuristic technology that looked like magic. Tyranny of King Washington is Connor and Washington literally having a group hallucination brought about by the Apple they were holding.They even used the saying that "If you brought a man in the Middle Ages something from today he'd think you were wielding magic" as the basis for Pieces of Eden. Even as far back as either 2 or Brotherhood you have the database entries talking about these things as if they're technology, not magic.
>>738613789I know they were always technology. but its how they were portrayed and how they were used in the narrativeYou maybe got to see a piece of eden like once or twice in the game. You get to use them once in brotherhood and once in revelations.They were a mystery. The other pieces being woven into historical figures like the staff of moses etc.That was great about it, it was mysterious and rare.now its just boring
>>738614029It was always going to be this way simply because of how frequently they appeared in history. Napoleon himself wielded an Apple so of course you'd see it in Unity. The Shroud was only found pretty much right at the end of Syndicate. The Apple was found early on in Origins and then nothing was done with it until literally like an hour or two before the end of the game when Bayek realized what that room in Siwa was for. We constantly see Isu temples in basically every game or parts of them outside of AC1. Sure, nowadays we're seeing bigger Isu temples but the only real thing that changed between Syndicate back and Origins forward is how they utilize the PoEs to justify stuff. Prior to that they were still used fairly heavily. I mean hell, the entire Chronicles storyline exists to explain what the Box did and even contradicts Rogue despite needing it to be Shay's box for the ending to make any sense.
>>738612032That is precisely one of the newest developments I am the most glad about. When the first reports about the game came out it leaned way too much into science fiction (like for example having the main character using an Isu artifact to transform or control a cat), idea that I despise. I really hope they show the time period in a historically accurate way through Elsa, the main character.
>>738587934>>738588706AC Unity came out before Primal. They were already deep in the slop, nigga. Not even counting games like Splinter Cell Conviction or that they were already being criticized for making AC an annual franchise with Brotherhood and Revelations years before. It was just that Ubisoft for the longest time at least still had an art team that gave a fuck no matter how much you hated the rest of the company.
