Wake me up when we get to ancient Egypt.
General Assassin's Creed thread

That means going way back in time. I don't see them doing it.
If we have to stay in the West I call for either Morocco or Germany. Preferrably Morocco.
-
Good thing I was already bored with Assassin's Creed by the second game.
-
I only started with the second game (ACII) which was probably my favorite in the series, then after Revelations (read: AC3) it kinda got stale. Haven't played AC4:BF in a long time, but I'm planning to finish it once I finish the next few Phoenix Wright games.
-
Had a hard time getting into Revelations before my PS3 yellow-lighted me. Now I have no motivation, except to see the story progress.
And then there's III to go through, then Black Flag, and then these two…
Yeah I won't be catching up anytime soon.
-
Yeah. I've never gotten past II myself though my friend just got the Ezio trilogy, so I may borrow those.
-
Only play ACIII if you feel like hating yourself
ACIV is literally the best game in the series
-
I could not for the life of me get into the first game. I literally across a span of several years picked it up to give it another go. 7 hours in once the game opens up and you get to the city I lost all motivation at the exact same spot both times. I have all the games and I plan to eventually just skip 1 entirely, I even watched the story of the first game on YouTube. The main motivation for me wanting to actually get into the series is the best friend of someone special to me is actually an art director on the series. I feel I gotta give the series a shot for that reason alone, plus the fact it is such a big series and several of my friends are into it.
-
Actually, 1 is the only main game that I have never touched, and I hear it's unnecessary to even play. I read through the story on a wiki, and that was pretty much enough tbh.
-
I liked 1 but it is very repetitive. 2 improves on the gameplay a lot.
-
So what I'm hearing from all of this is that I should just and only play ACIV
-

Pretty much yeah .
It has basically the best representation of Blackbeard ever.

No, I hear II and Brotherhood are also really good. But 1, Revelations, III, and Liberation aren't.
-

This. I freakin' loved II. Spent so much time on it, doing side quests and… having fun, really. Only thing I didn't like was collecting the feathers, and I gave up on that eventually.
Brotherhood was pretty good, it felt like a slightly watered down II. Right now I can't recall what, but Brohood was missing something that II had. I felt there was so much more to do in II. But the additional assassins was a nice touch! Sooo satisfying to call an assassin to take someone out for you, and to watch it from a distance.
-
and Liberation aren't.
If we're going to throw Liberation under the bus we might as well throw Altair Chronicles and Bloodlines under too.
-
Assassins Creed for me at this point is a game series full of game elements none of which are done as well as they could be - and they are unwilling to change it.
- The combat is easy: really no need to buy better swords; and in comparison to the Arkham Games, gather boring, although I do like the animations and the sound the weapon makes upon the stab.
- Doing anything stealthy is pretty much pointless. Cannot duck, cannot properly hide behind anything. The word "assassin" doesn't mean that you must kill stealthy, but some variations would be nice. Which leads into …
- Repetitive missions. Run after this guy. Kill this guy. But when the two other game aspects are lacking, it quickly becomes boring. AC4 has soooo many tailing missions.
Every developer, their games, have an unique design etc the way the characters move, do things and so on. I recently played Uncharted 3 again, and there were so many small things that annoyed me in how Drake moved. The Last of Us, while similar, improved upon everything.
I loved AC2 because it was something new and I loved the setting. I liked AC3 because of the setting. AC4 had the naval combat to help tide me over the bad aspects. I actually didn't like the setting. All the pirate talk god irritating after a while.
Unfortunately I predict there'll be nothing different with Unity. Though I'll probably buy it again cus I'm a sucker for these types of settings.
-
I liked the first game the best because there's something about the mian targets and thier settings that felt rather memorable. By the second game, it felt like another triple-A game with a typical everyday-man movie star ripoff protagonist and a ton of cutscenes that supposedly shows off "more characters". It did some cool things, like the Assassin Tombs and that one flying mission. But to me, I felt like the games moved away from improving the subtle little aspects I liked in the first game. Like… gather information and learning about the mutlitude of ways you can use to dispatch the main templar. I remember one where someone mentions this bad wall near the palace and you could have used that to your advantage to reach the mian target completely undetected and out of sight of guards. It wasn't as deep, but eh... The games just got really boring for me. I recall some people liking the games for the fact that you can climb historical buildings, which is cool. But I'm more a combat/exploration with actual reward person. Can't see myself wasting 40 hours and another one of these games ever agian.
-
ACIII bored the crap out of me, the only thing that kept me in it was the sailing but once I did all of that I dropped the game. Have yet to finish it. Just way too much of the same too often and the games are barely moving any story forward if any anymore.
I'll grab ACIV eventually just for the sailing and all.
-
I saw a ton of glitches during the sailing portion. Trying to attack ships would get these level 60 ones after me, and if I died I would spawn right next to them and die over and over, until I restart and they spawn a little bit farther away so I can run around in circles around islands. >.< So frustrating, I put the game on hold for almost 4 months.
-
I am one of the very few people who liked Assasins Creed 3 and Conor. I felt he represented just how much the Assasins order had degraded from Altair's and Ezio's time to then.
Now for this new game, they need to change the format of the game play, that should be what makes it next gen and sets it apart from the rest. I really hope that this guys took a step back and decided to improve the gameplay first and then do whatever they want.
I read an interesting article(can't remember where) that talked about how Ground Zero(that "glorified demo")does open world better than most open world games nowadays and it wasn't because of how big the world is but rather the revised gameplay mechanics behind it and I hope they took a leaf out of it.
Ubisoft is a french company right?
-
Assassin's Creed is my guilty pleasure series, I just love it. I got all the statues of the 4 main assassins, and I am pumped that we are getting French Rev. Although I would have preferred Russia, I'll gladly take this over Egypt.
Bring it on, my body is ready.
-

They are indeed. They're probably giggling like schoolgirls now that they can make a game set in France. Hell, that's probably what inspired them to do it in the first place. They don't even have to travel anywhere to do set design, they can just walk outside.

So Ubisoft owns a DeLorean or a Tardis as well?

Assassin's Creed parkour in real life:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-07-23-watch-four-parkour-fans-go-assassins-creed-over-paris-rooftopsFreaking awesome.

I love Assassin's Creed.
I love everything about the series, I have all the statues, all the games, love love LOVE this series.
Also AC: Rogue for last gen systems has been leaked. http://kotaku.com/leak-shows-off-rogue-this-years-last-gen-assassins-cre-1616239537
Give it to me.
-
I don't even know why at this point Kotaku classifies them as leaks when they're pretty blatantly Ubisoft throwing them a bone to write about before the actual trailer shows up soon after.
-
They won't give us Rainbow Six Patriots but goddamnit they're going to give us another Assassin's Creed game on last gen consoles and where going to like it. Redundancy be damned.
-
Oh wow watching that video that sounds way too promising to be true. Trying to get more to the stealth game from AC1? Removing the counter in combat? And additions to parkour which was already like the strongest part of AC?
I'm curious how this will turn out. Now if only they just dropped the whole sci fi stuff and they'd be set :D. -

That's like expecting Kishi to drop the whole ninja facade in Naruto.
Hasn't Kishi basically already done that?

Kishi has been working towards it. The infinite Tsukoyomi is basically the animus after everyone's in it, everyone can have any facade they like :P

Oh boy it's going to be Assassin's Creed 3 all over again.

Do you hear the people sing

Even better with this quote
"Ubisoft North American president Laurent Detoc said that Ubisoft would break Assassin’s Creed’s annualized schedule by delaying a game "if it’s not good enough..If we think we’ve ended up with a 70 percent Assassin’s Creed game, we’re not going to ship it,” Detoc told IGN. “That damages the brand. I’m not going to give you the names of products, because you know them as well as I do, but if you start to make games at 70 percent, even with a big brand, eventually people are going to change their mind about that brand. They won’t want it anymore.

^I said then same thing with AC3 and yet there people who says SSB was rushed.

Part of Super Smash Bros. 3DS's problems is that it is rushed (though not to the level of being meme material like some other games)….the other problem is that it's on a system with weak tech.

Do you hear the people sing
Singing the song of angry fans.
It is the music of the people
Who will not play this again. -

Great news
Maybe Ubi Montreal can ditch this shitty series and go back to making Prince of Persia

Fixed that for ya.

Oh of course Robespierre is a Templar. Of course Marat is not here for some reason despite being the most famous assassination of the French Revolution. Of course the stance taken by the game is that the revolution was done for the benefit of the wealthy.
Of course.

Well maybe if their efforts were directed in the proper places it could be better!
But seriously, even the shittiest POP games are miles better than any AC game. I don't know how the studio that made Warrior Within can accept the "press x to win" BS that they pull in the series.
-
Oh man I so want them to make another Prince of Persia game. The PoP Trilogy had by far better designed platforming segments and was much more fun to play. Even the combat felt better. AssCreed is just the same thing every year with no real improvement to some of the very awkward climbing, like getting stuck on things, the combat isn't getting better etc.

Yeah this so much
I think they've just been so focused on shitting out another Asscreed game every year they've had no time to actually look back on what works and what doesn't.
-
Exactly. And unfortunately this series just sells much more than PoP, so it's not going to stop anytime soon with the yearly assasins creed releases. I just read somewhere recently that ubisoft themselves said that they won't make a new PoP game anytime soon, because people like AC more. Such a shame.
Imagine the budget of assasins creed put into an Prince of Persia game on current gen consoles and PC. Especially since they wouldn't need to create a big open world the game could look and run even better. But ubisoft kinda already, after the trilogy, couldn't reach the same quality with following games anymore.
