Name one flaw.
Name one flaw
The game is tedious with out the leap grab that you get 2/3 through.
brotherhood is better.
The story
Edward > Altair > Ezio > Piles of shit > Connor
Prove me wrong.
i stopped playing these games after this one some years ago
any of the newer ones better than 2?
Two is the peak
Was IV actually as good as this? Finally bought if off a PSN sale, haven't been able to stand the series since 3's bullshit.
The pirate one is a great game, that would have been even better if they had just cut all the assassin shit and made it all about a rape and plunder sandbox ala Pirates.
This. You only have to play brotherhood to see what's wrong with AC2. Still had good atmosphere though.
swap Altair and Ezio and you're golden friendo
Brotherhood is basically 2 but better. I never played Revelations but it's probably not too much different from Brotherhood.
3 should have been god tier but they completely dropped the ball, the game is a glitchfest with horrible controls and excessively tedious missions. What a pile of fucking garbage.
I never played 4 but the sailing/pirate parts of 3 were far and away the best part of the game, so I imagine it's enjoyable as long as it has more of that than the shitty missions.
3 completely killed the series.
IV is one of the best, leagues better than III but it's pretty lacking in over all Assassin theme.
Fuck off son
aigh't fuck you then and your shit taste
Revelations is a pile of shit fueled by Altair nostalgia. They basically thought of the cool ending to Ezio and Altair's stories, then made a whole filler story in a boring setting to sell it as a game. Literally not a single memorable scene other than the very end. Modern day portions were also the weakest in the series, with Desmond becoming a full-on black guy for some reason.
Revelations isn't too different from brotherhood in terms of gameplay, with the exception of the hookblade, bombs and a few in-mission mechanics. It was a little worse in terms of setting though, because the giant city was just a pain in the ass to run around in because everything looked the same, there were no horses, and hookblade lines were in awkward spots unless you're in a section that a missions ran through.
This. Altair barely had any character to him; Ezio was definitely better. Connor had potential, but they just completely shit on him, shame since the setting was cool
I didn't play Syndicate so I can't comment on the twins but Evie was cute! CUTE!
I dunno man. Edward is kind of obnoxious and stubborn compared to Ezio.
Revelations was my favorite game, but I know I'm in the minority here.
To be honest I hardly remember anything about the plot of Revelations. A vaguely remember playing as Altair and the ending where Ezio finds his body. But the gameplay was pretty solid, and that's why I don't say that Revelations was a "bad" game.
sorry, i'm drunk.
No you're not.
Black flag spin-off series when?
AC4 was one of the best pirate games I've played, but the assassin missions felt so shoehorned in. It would've been a lot better if they kept the opening parts where Edward learns how to be an assassin to steal their shit, but instead of joining their cause eventually he stuck with the original plan and cleaned them out.
no qt player character
Revelations will always have a special place in my heart since I got into Assassin's Creed thanks to its fucking awesome trailer.
You cannot play as a female or transsexual character
DUDE aliens LMAO
suffered through 1, played a little bit of 3
It has a revisionist, uncomplicated perspective of history. Important figures are name-dropped, sanitized, or turned into caricatures. The world is born from the perspective of French Canadian white collar coffee hipsters, not exactly masters of historical fiction.
le jade's game XD
Oh yeah.
how about a magic trick?
play the trailer muted at around :45
youtube.com
then play this over it
youtube.com
The writing is absolute shit compared to the first game, but it was easier for the average gamer to understand than shades of moral grey so they killed any depth the series had going forward.
AC2 ruined AC.
>A jump button would be more interesting than "hold a and left analog forward to win"
There's been a jump button in every single AC game
Everything else you said is true tho
>Nobody else makes historical games like this where you can just run about a reasonably well represented locale that had interesting things going on at the time and mess around in the setting
God fucking dammit
The only games in the series that are somewhat worthwhile and don't feel like tossed out rehashes are 1,2, brotherhood and AC4
It didn't have a yearly release when AC2 came out retard.
>The writing is absolute shit compared to the first game
What writing did AC1 have? All you did was go from one city to another doing the same shit over and over, which was the plot too.
I mostly agree with you but fuck, the settings of the games are enough for me to give Ubi $60 every year.
Edward > Old Altair > Ezio > Haytham > Shay > Young Altair > Connor
Shit series.
they weren't aliens
Brotherhood had one of the most fun multiplayer modes I've ever played.
Edward > Ezio > Altair > Evie & Jacob > Haytham > Shay > a small pile of shit > Connor > a huge pile of shit > Arno
...
Why do people care so much about Altair? I get he held the order together and changed things for the future, but goddamn was he bland for the most part
>not wearing best outfit
You get a gun later on. How the fuck can the game have the worse assassin in the game when you get a wrist mounted musket? It couldn't be more conspicuous if Ubisoft tried. And then you start with it in Brotherhood, which is why I trashed that game instantly.
...
>starts as the best assassin but cocky
>learns that he can fuck up but is still cocky
>learns that other assassins can be helpful even tho he still is the best one
>got too close to the assassins and now hates the templars even more
>templars actually make him question why the fuck is him killing those guys NOW when Al Mualim could've ordered that ages ago
>goes ape shit on everyone and learns assasins, specially al mualim can also be full of shit
>decides he is the boss now because he is the best anyways
goes rambo against the Assassin and the Templars
>Solo's barehanded the Assassin Leader with the Apple
>Let bygones be bygones and his fellow assassins live.
>Makes the brotherhood go global. Manages to build stuff the templars scientists couldn't even after eons of relic studying
>Assassins betray him again
>Noto this shito again... Well I'm 120 yo but I can still solo the entire brotherhood barehanded because I'm fucking Altair
Fast foward
>Italianfag is born
>can't figure out his entire family is made of assassin
>Let's his entire family die because he was hanging out in the city
>goes full muh uchiha clan
>doesn't hug Leonardo
>Loses a finger even tho Altair created a blade without the need for that because muh heritage
>gets an Apple and goes to fight a 97kg 67yo 5'5 pope
>manages to lose to said pope
I don't even want to get into brotherhood and Ezio getting cucked
I felt his entire young-adult stage (ie AC 1) was redeemed by him being based as fuck in his later life, in Revelations.
...
>tfw AC2 came out the year I roamed around Italy for 3 months
>tfw seeing all that shit in-game I had just seen over there
It was neat
That last cutscene involving the fucking aliens. Other than that, pretty good game.
LEAVE CONNOR ALONE
People shit on AC1 a lot for its obvious flaws but it's the only game in the series where the characters and story doesn't feel lazy. Quite an interesting game when it first came out.
...

>ingame_16x9.jpg
>16x9
I enjoy the series. I'm assuming they're going to announce a new one at e3 this year and it come out in during the holiday.
...
why did they give altair an accent in revleations
You don't follow the news, huh. No AssCreed this year. Enjoy the movie though. I know I will.
Now I need help. Someone make similar screenshots for Rogue, Unity, and Syndicate.
Doesn't mean they can't announce it at e3 and release next year.
That happens all the time.
Fuck, FFXV and TLG were announce over a decade ago
Because something about improved animus
3 is my favorite.
The frontier map and the story are great
I hope they don't, the wait would kill me.
I liked 4 the most. I liked that the activities were a lot more varied.
I'm on Unity now, which is more like 3 and has more of the standard AC gameplay.
>evie
obsessed with the pieces of eden, overly planning to a fault. pretty shallow and boring overall, seemed to fall in love with greene out of fucking no where.
>jacob
wreckless to a fault, but charismatic and interesting. biggest flaw was that he was clearly trying to recapture the ezio spirit. he was capable of being a god damn ninja or a warrior, smooth with his words, and rallied the common man behind him just like ezio.
>"haha they skipped a year that one time, so you're a retard!"
Oh gosh, I couldn't be more wrong could I? The Assassin's Creed fanbase everybody.
Missions have too many constraints
town management was superfluous
Some weapons were redundant
Plot was weak
Thanks for admitting you were wrong, it's big of you.
HE WUZ GUD BOI
DINDUNUFFIN
the whole thing
Why would you rank Arno as last when he's literally Ezio?
Ezio's ring finger was branded, not removed, and sure he wanted to avenge his family but he extremely far from being an Uchiha edgelord.
He also didn't lose to the pope, but it was beyond retarded that he spared him because it ended up getting Uncle Mario killed.
connor was cute as hell
the homestead missions were honestly the best part about 3
that, and the unique recruitable assassins. really, really wish they'd kept assassin recruits
This.
There was nothing wrong with his character. He was quiet yeah, but he was thrown into a world he didn't quite understand. And you'd be angry all the time too if you were used by everyone to reach a goal that didn't help you or your people at all.
...
yeah, pretty much everyone was lying to his face at all times
everything he did ended up doing nothing for his people anyway
You don't desync if you don't hug Leonardo so you can try again
Jacob sounds kinda based. Shame Evie was a shit character
>muh uchiha clan
>took nearly twenty years to get anything done because half the time ezio was fucking some chick or screwing around
mmm hmm
>doesn't hug Leonardo
Alright people, let's hear em.
>Ideal location+time in history
>Main character
>Unique gameplay elements
I'm positive we can come up with something better than Ubisoft
Thank you!
except that was sarcasm and it does have a yearly release schedule, not even in a loose sense of the word. It just didn't one year. Even ubisoft says so. Is this bait? Who's retarded?
3 is my least favorite from what I've played but has my favorite trailer
youtu.be
It is beyond repetitive.
>the poorly written Scooby Gang in the present time
>the poorly written Scooby Gang in the Renaissance
>the uninteresting one-dimensional targets
>the sidelining of conspiracy and intrigue for a straightforward revenge plot
Otherwise it was pretty golden
The futuristic aspect of the game. Just about every problem with the game comes from the futuristic aspect.
Try AC1.
There will never be an AC where Connor and Arno team up to kill Shay.
Was that game before or after Indians started shitting in streets?
I really liked that trailer too.
I wish they didn't go batshit crazy with the nonsense with the Gods in 3. Worst ending to any game I ever played including Mass Effect 3
They also needed to to ease up on the future shit. Learning to fight with fucking swords and daggers won't fucking help anybody in the modern age, why even bother with the animus?
>second northern war in poland
>pole attacking swedish troops
>have to juggle working with polish, russian, danish, prussian and dutch troops
>game ends with assassination of charles x gustav
essentially evie wanted to be like altair and jacob wanted to be like ezio. everytime jacob kills someone it fucks things up royally but he was at least taking down the brotherhood.
Meanwhile evie is too busy trying to fuck henry and find the shroud and fixing jacob's fuck ups
and Aveline
I remember an article awhile back where Ubisoft heard suggestions from fans and said their ideas sucked. Like someone suggested Edo era Japan (ninjas!) and they said it was the worst possible locale for an Assassin's Creed game.
Irks me how self-satisfied French and French Canadians are with their movies/video games/music/art/books even when they're mediocre.
My ideal setting would've been Victorian London but they already defiled that so nevermind.
I feel like there was a really interesting concept in two secret societies that have been warring and altering the course of human history for centuries. One that was absolutely ruined by the piss poor execution of the games themselves.
The future bullshit is probably the game's biggest problem for me.
