Wow! Why is the fuck is this game so goddamn bad. AC3 is as good as sleeping in an outhouse.
Oh no how did I get here?
I'm not good with boats.
>>332978513
Holy shit, i haven't seen glitches of that magnitude yet.
>>332978762
Are you kidding? These kind of glitches have been in the engine since AC2.
>>332979567
I was in a story mission in AC3, sailing the stormy seas on my trusty boat, when something goes horribly wrong and the ship does A FRONT FLIP
>>332979567
You mean AC1. You can literally just walk into a town and then fall through the floor.
Sadly, even after 3 1/2 years in development, I had many of the same issues in AC3. NPCs who follow you would get stuck, fail missions because walls do not block enemies field of view, endless spawning redcoats make you have to leave and restart some missions, jumping onto a wall and Haytham won't grab it, etc.
>>332981179
You are correct. But I never played AC1. I just got AC2 and 4 because I'm not a complete moron.
>>332982772
The first Assasins Creed has arguably the best protagonist and story. And its rather moronic for you to claim a game is not worth playing when you haven't even tried it.
Boku no Charles Lee is considered the worst one in general. AC rogue is the superior one for the North American setting.
>>332983034
>Altair
>best protagonist
He's literally Connor but with ROBERT DE SABLE instead of CHARLES LEE
>>332983360
Altiar starts off as a man obsessed with gaining power and a complex over killing someone. But over time, he gets over both of those and becomes the responsible leader his mentor wanted him to be. While his mentor goes mad with power.
Connor never makes that transition. He whines about his dead mother and abandonment at the start....and whines about it at the end as well. You could completely remove Connor from the story and pretty much nothing would change. The revolution would have happened even without his interference. He's only there to stop Charles and his father. And once he does...he's still a whiny teenager in a mans body.
>>332983726
Having a story happening adjacent to history is a lot better than having the story be the history
I always hear people rave about how good 4 is, which is true, but then forget about Rogue. Play that. It's more of what you liked in 4. Most people seem to forget it exists after all the attention was drawn to Unity and it's bugs.
>>332984671
Rogue was made by an outside company and their was a leak saying that ubisoft wanted it to fail, that's why it had shit advertising.
>>332984407
I disagree. AC is best when it is creating its own story and not trying to shoe-horn in every famous person they can.
The first three AC games were the best because they dealt with their own story they were creating. And while AC2 added in real people, they weren't part of the main story. Ezio finding hidden Templar layers or learning about the ancients wasn't connected to Leonardo.
Every game since has just been 'how can we throw an assassin into a revolution situation!' While at the same time, having the assassins ties to that revolution be so weak, it doesn't even matter.
>>332984671
4 had a shit story and shit characters
gameplay was great though
>>332979567
Um I don't remember any glitches in 2.
>>332985138
Fuck Ubi. Rogue was great.
Makes sense they I had no idea it existed until I saw it in stores
>>332984671
I'm playing rogue right now, its decent. But, being an AC game, it literally is just more of the same shit. Burnout is setting in only after ~25 hours, but fuck me if I don't get that last Epic Naval Battle. Also, screencapped on a toaster, last gen game
>>332989690
Go figure it's ubisoft, they want to sell what's new and hot.
>>332990571
That looks pretty solid for last gen.
>>332990697
Runs really well on a machine that was mid-tier ~5 years ago, respect for that, I study vidya-software and I find it impressive. Not that many bugs. Some really annoying ones exist, though.
>>332991135
Seems like a hidden gem almost.
Apart from bugs and performance issues, why is Unity hated again? I'm playing it right now and it's good or at least not worse than 1 and 2. Actually even the performance aspect isn't so bad if you can accept fxaa and turning off nvidia exclusive features like soft shadow and hbao+
>>332981179
you call those issues? no, no, no
you should wait and see what didn't get fixed in AC3 due time constraints, the new york hell glitch, where every sound present in the underground area gets played at once, graphic corruption starts to happen, and other shit, sounds like if your console/computer got possessed and this issue is present in both consoles and computer.
Also the save corruption issue is also present in computer and consoles, it happens way more often on pc and it literally screws up your entire progress, at least on pc you can fix it by yourself with some file tweaking but on consoles you're beyond fucked
>>332978351
AC3 is so bad I don't want to fucking talk or remember that pile of rotten fucking horsecock
>>332991898
It you really couldn't get enough of 4 its a gem.
For me as fun as the sailing and pirate stuff was, its still and AC game. It never progress beyond whats shown in the tutorials.
The "boss" ships where hella legit in 4 though. Probably the best part of the game.
>>332983726
he somehow redeems himself and you get to somehow understand him with the cut end speech of his, sadly it was only present in the novelization since in the game it got canned, along other shit like haytam boss fight, the nigger mentor family backstory and how he contemplated suicide, how his mother learned to fight and how she learned english, daniel cross boss fight and end plea to end his life because the visions were too much for him, along several other shit cut out at last minute
>>332992816
>along several other shit cut out at last minute
"We need more time to place the feather collectibles"
"Axe all the character development to compensate"
>tfw favorite part of AC series was the present day
>it has been butchered they don't even care anymore
I wonder if AC 5 is on it's way and if they will keep it going. Seems like they just don't have a plan but kind of do as well?
>>332992816
Fuck Ubisoft so fucking much
>>332993675
I feel ya mayne, I liked the historical and modern sci-fi spookaloo. Everything went to shit after 3 though. Man, 2 was such a good game. I miss Ezio.
>>332978351
>Only kills redcoats
>>332978351
>AC4, at home dock
>ship not there
>huge gap in the water indicating where it should be
>wtf
>look around, run away, come back, ship still gone
>shrug and about to just fast travel instead
>ship suddenly comes dropping out of the sky with wally west speed right into the spot where it should be
>so this is how fast travel actually works in AC...
That glitch happened all the fucking time, too.
AC4 is even worse
>shitty unresponsive controls resulting clunky combat and not-so-free running
>shitty stealth system featuring dumb AI
>gratuitous mission segments (tailing, eavesdropping etc.)
>unskippable cinematic for every fucking collectible they put on the map
>collecting all collectibles felt unrewarding
>unskippable cinematic after every ship boarding
>uninteresting story
>it's not even an Assassin's Creed game
So much flaws for '2nd best AC XD', not even the island jumping scenery porn could save it from how horrendous it is.
>>332994515
I liked the story in AC4, actually. At least how it related to the pirates.
The actual assassin/templar stuff might as well not even have been there.
I enjoyed it
Combat was just Brotherhood but not janky as shit which made it enjoyable
What's with ubisoft and adding a character that does nothing but talking shit but it's supposed to be endearing.
>>332994340
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pQ_ZozZIio
>>332992526
I've been tempted to give unity another go. AC always lures me in with their settings and I'd been praying for French Revolution for years.
I vaguely remember the combat being fairly shit, but that's just AC I guess, can't remember why I put it down.
>>332992771
Fucking this.
I bought into the hype wholesale, the last ezio game and AC3 is where it nosedived.
>>332995558
Ha! Holy shit. I've never seen it happen the other direction before.
That's fucking hilarious.
>>332994515
Brotherhood is the real 2nd best ac.
>>332993675
original plan for the series was to have desmond relieve the lives of 6 master assassins to become the ultimate assassin, and since he got killed in 3 because rushed game, we don't even know where the fuck the storyline is even going or trying to accomplish
They came so close to making a decent combat system in unity but they fucked it so they could push their new exp/level system.
>>332995558
A-amen ...
>>332995829
The French revolution is literally window dressing for Arno to chase that hot dry ginger pussy. Which, isn't something I necessarily begrudge the game for, but the story sucks despite the romance. And that ending....jesus christ what a terrible, fedora tipping ending.
>>332996165
Desmond is going to go full ghost in the shell and become sentient in the Abstergo network and beat Juno in CYBERSPACE.
There will be a watch_dogs crossover during.
>>332993675
I enjoyed it then came to hate it when they butchered it. It's especially bad in Black Flag.
Do something with it or gut it entirely.
>>332996338
The DLC is alright and it's a good thing Ubisoft made it free, Napoleon is best and is what happens when someone not retarded intrudes on the Assassin/Templar business.
AC3's only fault is killing off Desmond and the past civilization subplot, ruining the one thing that made the game so unique from other games where you just go around killing.
>>332996508
DLC is fucking terrible. Arno goes through a cave and then....maybe....visits Egypt after still being depressed over his ginger waifu getting vaporized by a magic sword.
The American Revolution should have been a backdrop for a good old fashioned samurai revenge story in AC3
Instead you have Connor fucking participating in the Boston Tea Party
>>332996934
This.
What are the best and or most essential games of Assassin's Creed games?
>>332996338
What was the ending?
>>332978351
Real question OP
why is this shitty version of Prince of Persia such a bad series
>>332996165
What game fucked up the series worse? Mass Effect 3 or Assassins Creed 3? Goddamn 2012 was a dark year for vidya.
>>332997294
The Ginger broad and Arno fight the guy heterochromia who is super bad because he is super bad. And then the Ginger goes off to fight the Merovingian alone but gets killed because she couldn't be arsed to help Arno get up from underneath that pillar which fell on him seconds prior.
Then Arno goes on an atheist diatribe and basically says "fuck it, I'm done" while still claiming to be an Assassin even though he was banished from the fucking Order a few chapters back.
Literally, I had never been this deflated from an an ending since Mass Effect 3.
>>332996552
>the sci-fi is the one thing that made the game so unique
Pretty sure it's the historical setting m8.
>other games where you just go around killing
Okay
>>332996552
>>332998203
Getting rid of all the sci-fi and present day stuff entirely is the best thing that could happen to the series. It fucks up everything from the basic game flow, to the readability of the database. Literally adds nothing but annoyance.
The real draw is the quirky conspiracy/killing shenanigans going on throughout known history, and all that works just fine without MUH PRECUSORS
>>332993061
there's a backstory for how the game came to end in that state, to cut it short they had lots of shit they wanted in but could not since the writing was one this and implementing it into the game was another, and how the game was rushed to hell to meet a deadline and the game was being handled by 500+ people across 3 different ubisoft studios in the world at once, literally a management nightmare
iirc the desmond parts were done by a newbie team as well hence why they stand out of how shit they are coded in, people complained how bad they were and the higher ups covered their ears and praised everything they did
>>332997485
I thought the first four games were good, this one so far is dogshit.
>>332997082
2, Brotherhood, Revelations. That's it.
>>332997526
It says something when the best game that year may have been ME3. They were right the end of the world was that year, the end of the world of games.
>>332999019
revelations was awful, 1 has the excuse of how it was uncharted territory but ultimately is horrible as well, 2 was the overall okay, brotherhood is regarded as the best one and revelations was the start of the nosedive into shitness
4 is regarded as the last good AC game but I just don't feel it
3 is the black sheep alongside unity
>>332999252
What was so bad about Revelations? I thought the story wasn't that bad really, though a bit disconnected, and the gameplay was for the most part fairly fun.
>>332999252
>revelations was awful though
It was basically AC 2 only with closure. Sure it wasn't exactly innovative but
>>332992526
I think the story is pretty awful just because Arno stabs people and gains their memories. You also don't really care about anyone but that one guy you're framed for killing. Even the side-missions are kinda eh. The new gameplay improvements are most welcome though outside of ammo being rarer than anything else and those level 5 guys with the hats. The hat guys are by far the worst.
>>332999550
That sounds absolutely retarded.
>>332999405
story was tedious, city was basically empty and felt overall the same place, that tower defense minigame that was horrendous on its own and how you have to do it in order to not get your shit captured
but yeah, the gameplay overall was alright but the grenade loot/crafting system just was useless, basically why we didn't see it again, and some parts of the story are redeemable like how it shows how the fuck altair died and how ezio met that skank from embers
>>332999708
The first assassination literally had Arno just stab the guy and went to the council going "I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO SOUND CRAZY BUT I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON". The same happened once you got framed for the murder, they just let Arno go stab a guy and he gains his memories and that's enough for the council to deal with not killing the Templar girl who just entered their most sacred of areas to plead for her life who they now suspect of killing one of the council members just a day later.
>>332999747
The tower defence was bogus as fuck, but I only ever had to do it once. The grenade idea was cool but you never really needed to use it. I personally liked constantinople and how crowded it felt especially after how empty alot of rome felt.
>>332999959
Isn't unity literally full of more bugs than a roach motel too?
>>333000115
Even after all the patches I clipped straight through the floor twice and into a barrel twice when going for cover. I also slipped straight into a wall on top of a church two times at the start of the game. There's also the countless enemies clipping through walls and they love floating or sticking themselves half way through the ground for no reason. I also had a glitch I had from AC3, picture related.
>>333000841
awesome!
>>333000115
Yep, and for some retarded reason the best gear is behind the online shit and if you lose connection you can lose access to it
>>333001482
>the best gear is behind the online shit
The only part that's good that's hidden behind the online is the Legendary Musketeer leg piece, forgot the whole name of it. Otherwise you can get all the good stuff in the base game just fine.
>>333000841
I literally climbed out of a wagon with no input and was spotted with nobody even close by.
I've only just started the Jack the Ripper DLC, what a promising start, older Jacob comes across as haunted and fucked up, and Jack is crazy as fuck. I wasn't sure who the player character was and got invested really quick... Then it turns out you play as Evie... Fucking why? She's so damn boring.
People like to claim Brotherhood is the best but I think it's really where AC started its downward spiral. It introduced apprentice assassins and the call in archery support which was really a press x to win button. Since then AC has been going down this path of adding unnecessary layers upon layers of gameplay gimmicks just to show that they've done something new. I appreciate having more gameplay options but the ones in these games are so pointless because the core gameplay is so piss easy to begin with. Like in Revelations why bother with crafting bombs when the press x to win button is still there? Then we had hookblade, tree parkhour, boats, grappling hook, downward parkhour, guns, etc. I mean who gives a shit
>>333002339
I've noticed alot of games which do stuff similar to that lead series down dark paths, just look at RE4 and COD4.
>>333002339
>Like in Revelations why bother with crafting bombs when the press x to win button is still there?
Because unlike in Brotherhood they could die way faster and it was much rougher to just send Assassins out there until they hit level 9+. Firecracker + Dature bombs broke half the missions as well, it was insane.
>>333002339
That's exactly how I felt about 3.
They gave you all these neat things that'd be great for ninjascalping bitches, but in the end you just never had any reason to bother using them. It was always straight up easier and quicker to rush in and fight like a batfag.
It's like I'm the only one who liked AC1
>>333002589
I liked it, it was just really repetitive is all.
>>333002585
3 has so much fucking trial and error.
>>333002451
those are both the best and 2nd best in their series tho
>>333002451
>RE4
But that's a massive reinvention, not just tweaking at the margins.
>>333002532
Is that so? I can't remember if they were actually uniquely useful. Don't think I bothered with them outside of tutorials though. If I wanted a distract I'd just throw coins or if I wanted to fuck up the guards I'd just use darts that make them go berserk. It felt like they just added new micro-gameplay systems in each games that don't gel together into a complete whole.
>>332978351
>asscreed
>Why is the fuck is this game so goddamn bad?
gee, why do you think?
>>332995558
>implying that's not fucking hilarious
>>332985723
You dìsagree with someone that you agree with?
How does that work?
Are you stupid or is English not your language.?
>>333002979
That's what i'm saying they were good but then they milked them for all they were worth.
>>332978351
AC3 was terrible in just about all aspects. The towns were all the same shitty template, the wilderness was pointless, no one was likable, and the story was shit. Of course I half expected to dislike it when I found out they were going with an American Revolution theme.
I only played AC1, AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations. Then I stopped.
Did I do exactly the right thing?
>>333006560
Yes, but some say that Black Fag is worth playing.
>>332992526
The story is a hit/miss but the gameplay takes a step in the right direction.
More emphasis on stealth and assassinations.
The only reason why /v/ and everyone else shits on it is because of bugs.
>>333006691
So do you play as a gay black man?
>>332996934
AC3 has the most abysmal level/mission design I've ever had the misfortune of playing
>Hurry Connor, you must drive this horse while I shout vague directions on where to go.
>Hey Connor, why don't you run from circle to circle, telling when our soldiers should open fire
And this is an ASSASSIN'S creed game?
>>333006787
Yeah, his ancestors was kangs n shit
You guys remember there promise of hundred of characters on screen at once? And the huge famous battles? Here's how that turned out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBVHUX2eEQU
>>333007328
What the fuck did you expect? They tried that again with unity and look how that turned out.
>>333002589
Missions were repetitive but besides that it's probably my favorite and has the best protagonist.
aside from the bugs what was unity`s bigest problem?
i thought it was nice.for an AC game
how long until we get AC:4 in space?
My dudes, ac3 was my first ac. I loved it (although 4 is my fav) and to see people shitting on it makes me sad. I guess I didn't have each of you guys' bad luck with the glitches cause it worked well for me. I continue to buy ac games to this day, even though I think they're worse than 3.
>and that's all I have to say
I miss the multi-player.
>>333009145
I think it's so bad so far. Here's a glitch guys.
>>333008774
Once it goes to the future the series becomes literally worthless.
>>332979567
>>333012026

>>332981179
I've had some really ridiculous glitches in AC1 that I never had in any of the others. I have no idea why, I think this specific save got fucked up.
Had 8 guards fold out of this one guard patrolling right in front of me. I've fallen through the ground and respawned next to ANOTHER FULLY FUNCTIONING ALTAIR. That meant two Altair's running around at once, both attached to the same health bar, both responding to the same inputs, so that made fighting annoying.
I could even assassinate one Altair with the other and desync like any regular death. I'd respawn and everything would be normal, until I fell through the ground again and it all started over.
I like how this game manages to explain fucking everything wrong
ingame glitches and shit?
>w-well it's just a simulation of memories
different and anachronistic history?
>w-well templars and assassins change history to their needs
Threw in the towel after revelations, what did I miss?
>>333012541
Absolutely nothing. Ezio was the last good assassin.
>>333012541
Desmond bites it and the entire story is put on pause to string it out for as many sequels as they want.
As far as I know, literally no progress has been made on the "plot," and instead they've worked in some new conflict that can just be extended as long as they want.
AC4 was fun as an individual story, though.
>>333012750
This.
>>333012756
Didn't they basically just throw away the modern era plot? Like is it even relevant anymore?
>>333004690
Of course it's fucking hilarious. It's the funniest goddamn thing I've seen in awhile.
But it's the same deal as the Bethesda game bugs. They're hilarious and also very indicative of a severe problem on the developer end, either in time and budget constraints clashing with scope, or just plain incompetence. They're signs of the mediocrity, if not sheer abysmal quality, the consumer base has come to accept from these games.
These are not good things. They interfere with game play, can fuck up saves, and just destroy any attempt at immersion or serious tone. They're amusing distractions when they were very rare, but they've become much more common. As funny as they are, I'd prefer a solid game without them. Or at least a lot of less of them.
>>333014362
OP here i found yet another bug where ratonhake whatever his name is, his head got stuck in a tree, wtf. Plus why the fuck is there hunting for game, this isn't MGS3.
>>333012445
Lame as fuck excuses. If anything there should be less glitches since the animus got better.
>>332978351
Didn't feel particularly different from the rest of them imo
Is it my imagination or was AC4 really .... meta?
Assassin's Creed 3 is the only Ass Creed I never beat. I think I got halfway into the story, and then never played it again. I was really bored. Should I go back and try again?
>>333017651
No i'm on sequence 5 already and it's still boring as fuck.
>>332978351
Look At The Game This Way. "Fuck The Creed These Assholes Gotta Die And Imma Kill Em" Ratonhnhaké:ton Is The Vengeful Assassin We Needed To Fuck The British Up. #FirstAmericanAssassin!~
>>333017386
No, you're right.
>company does nothing but bring out "historical" games
>people are growing tired of the trends and stuff
>main character doesn't give a shit about the apple or templars
>only wants money and to have pirate adventures
>instead has to go through all this bullshit despite hating everything
>>333017783
Even worse!
>>333013906
AC4's modern plot was literally Abstergo's game division QA testing with some small "investigate this shady shit" elements thrown in.
I have no clue past that.
>>333018270
Wait what? Why the hell has abstergo gone from world domination to.....game making?
>>333018406
Gotta get funds somehow.
It's not a big deal, Abstergo was always implied to be an enormous company, they probably have their fingers in a lot of pies.
Frankly the entire travesty of 3's modern day plot is way worse than 4's little side story.
>>333018406
Abstergo is a big templar company that started from Edison and Ford
they have shit like cars, medicine and NASA shit
video games is under abstergo entertainment
and the vidya they make are sort of tests for the animus
>>333012756
>the entire story is put on pause to string it out for as many sequels as they want
This is why I threw in the towel
>>333018693
>>333018807
Still seems strange that that would factor into the main plot, that's like umbrella poisoning people off of first aid spray and not the t virus.
>>333018967
Well the main plot is on hold because
>AC3
>>333017386
>>333017832
There's a lot of other videogame development shit too. The entire modern day plot line of the game is basically saved by it. The codex is full of development jokes about changing historical shit for little reason beyond "cool." The company bosses are all disgustingly chummy and two faced. There's a letter where someone asks what this Illuminati bullshit is doing in their pirate game.
They first really started it in Liberation, where the entire game is Templar propaganda (AC4 even touches upon this) and your Vita gets hacked by hackavists and you get sent to the boot menu so they can install their add on that reveals the full story.
>>333018406
It shown in game that this is a way for Abstergo to gain some money from their Animus project by using it to pump out shitty blockbuster games. There's a whole scene where a head from the main company comes in and shits on your bosses to that effect. That they only exist to make some more money for the Templars off of the scraps of their real work.
>>333018967
also Watch_Dogs takes place in the same universe as Asscreed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuLKshN6YWM
>>333018967
The videogame company isn't really the plot. Because it's tied to Abstergo proper and the development is used to get more workers to obliviously work on finding out more about the artifacts, it's a way for the assassins, and the face player, to gain an in on the Templars plots. A good portion of the side quests in the real world are hacking into computers that get you pieces of what's going on.
It's less like Umbrella poisoning people with off first aid spray, and more like Umbrella having a side division working on an off shoot of the t-virus, perhaps a first aid spray, that is infiltrated to gain access to the real Umbrella corp and steal their info.
>>333019296
>the face player
the faceless player character, sorry.
>>333019057
Does nearly everyone hate it?
>>333019296
So it's more or less just a money spinning tool and a way to get historical data?
>>333019531
Well AC3 killed off Desmond and some other retarded shit happened which honestly I cant remember.
Something about ancient aliens and Adam and Eve and some kind of space shield to protect the earth from some kind of space laser or a sun exploding or something.
I'm wondering why the templars would want to stop that right now and I'm not sure if there was a reason given.
AC3 was great...When you were playing as Haytham.
>>333018270
>>333018406
>>333018693
Story so far is that a templar grandmaster who was heavily influenced by daniel cross, shay and haytam is running around collecting individual eden pieces while some part of abstergo is being controlled by juno who is an AI behind courtains without their knowledge
desmond father retires but comes back after someone inside abstergo sends him the last messages of desmond and all his mails and shit, he gets closure of some sorts, but remains elusive at best
latest assassin creed game got the templars to win the shroud of turin (it can heal any type of injury or even "revive" someone, not fully revive since they tried it with brutus wjhen he was dead and he died again painfully) in hopes of constructing their own first civilization artificial human
assassin side has rebecca and that nerd computer guy upfront as field agents, rebecca got shot in the last game in a non fatal way

It wasn't explicit though.
Was it?
I havent played AC2 since it came out.
>>333018807
the QA thing was an excuse to have people research into memories and find eden pieces/first civilization info and tech without outright telling them
>tfw you'll never see another game with Connor or a Native American assassin because the rushed abomination that is AC3
Connor has the best base assassin outfit
>>333019669
It's exactly that. It fits pretty snuggly into Abstergo's Illuminati nonsense and what we've learned about all the pies it has its fingers in and how it uses all of them towards the Templars' ends. You could probably do an interesting story about how corporate the Templars became, how that fits into the rise of global capitalism in the real world, and yadda yadda.
Abstergo heads start putting pressure on the devs, who start putting pressure on you, to follow up on all leads in Edwards life about the Observatory. It doesn't come across incredibly well, because you're just a faceless, voiceless self insert out of the Animus, but it's interesting enough. It feels odd for a main game, coming off of Desmond's crazy shit, but it works. The entire department is a joke about mainstream game marketing and publisher pressure and interference fucking of games development. You get to see a lot internal documents about turning the previous games we've played into games in the universe, the amusing ways they dismissed them until they got to Aveline and made Liberation, and how they want to whitewashing Edward to make him more palatable to the casual market.
I don't know if this could carry a bunch of games, and I don't know if it did. I know the conflict of the later games' real world sections, but not what actually happens in them. AC4 was my last AC and I got to that years after it came out.
>>333020204
I like so far how they portray a native american in a postive light.
>>333020103
the ending shows you the ancient ayylmao
the puzzle sidequest shows you adam and eve
the ending in BH shows the ayylmao again
the puzzle sidequest in BH shows the solar flare
>>333020204
and also the best animations, they based him on dan osmand and chose a bulky build for him based on brute strenght, too bad they fucked the game beyond salvation
>>333019862
>ccording to Nolan North, the original plan for Desmond's story was that he would appear in six games, using the Animus to acquire the skills of each of his ancestors. By the last game, he would have eventually become "the ultimate Assassin" and be able to time travel back and forth into different eras
this always pisses me off
>>333020357
Right.
I feel like maybe that plot could've been pulled off if AC3 didnt rush everything out.
I still like the modern plot of AC1 the best, probably because the vagueness made it intriguing to try and piece together.
>>332978351
>you now remember a lot of the hate for ac3 was butt hurt britcancer
ahhhh yes
AC3 had the best music though
>>333020204
>best outfit
That's not shay with his sexual high collar.
>>333020563
I'm actually american, i just think the game so far is ass.
>>333020450
>be able to time travel back and forth into different eras
That sounds like it could've gone very bad, tonal-wise. I would've liked more Desmond and Ancestor connections though. I came to love that part of his story, especially with what Revelations did to tie him, Altair, and Ezio closer together.
>>333021089
I'd assume he'd be implanting his consciousness into an ancestor, not literally time travelling.
Then again, who knows, it's fucking Ubisoft.
>>333020737
wtf is wrong with you?
>>333021089
They should've done something like that for haytham and connor.
>>333020737
>AC2 had the best music though
Fixed
>>332994515
>it's not even an Assassin's Creed game
That supposed to be a bad thing?
>>333020737
lol, what fucking music? most of the time, hell, all of the time the game is dead silent
>>333020563
Fuck off, everyone hated the game equally.
>>333020737
AC Brotherhood and onwards had fucking awful sound mixing so majority of the time you never heard the music over everything else.
>>332994515
>shitty unresponsive controls resulting clunky combat and not-so-free running
>>shitty stealth system featuring dumb AI
>>gratuitous mission segments (tailing, eavesdropping etc.)
>>unskippable cinematic for every fucking collectible they put on the map
>>collecting all collectibles felt unrewarding
>>uninteresting story
That sounds a lot like AC to me.
>>333021552
Brotherhood and revelations had fine soundtracks. It helped kyd worked on both of those though.
>>333020756
>shay
>assassin
I loved shay, shame he'll never be seen again. A glimpse of him in Unity would have been nice, great way to end Rogue.
>>333022191
The soundtracks were good but the mixing was shit.
Edward Kenway has got to be the worst pirate I've ever heard of.
Edward Kenway has got to be the best pirate I've ever heard of.
>>333021551
britcancer especially. i remember the outrage and complete butt hurt those inbred cunts were displaying at the trailer
>>333021056
you're not, britcancer
Ass Creed Aus when?
It'd be the absolute worst. Trying to make abos look like a noble mystic people while you chrome with them and get high huffing petrol, hunt roos, assassin boomerangs and then in the future segments you go on 4chan to shit post.
Crummy story
You're practically invincible
The underground is boring
Connor is a douche
Automatic platforming with no risk
Town platforming wasn't satisfying due to types of buildings
The only good thing to come out of 3 was the success of the naval missions which paved the way for 4.
I wish they would end the series already. In 1 and 2, the Roman Gods and Goddesses with the 2012 apocalypse shit was all cool and I wanted to know more, but now it's just "Dude MODERN UBISOFT JUMP OUT A WINDOW EXPLOSIONS VAGUE ASS APHRODITE!"
>>333023724
That and it's messing up potentially great settings. I would have loved Syndicate to just be Peaky Blinders and Victorian gangs: the game and Blag Flag would have been even greater without any assassin shit.
>>333012026
Nothing weird about that, just rapture
>>332996934
This is really what the series for me. I'm supposed to be unknown to the history books, why am I fucking witnessing the deceleration being signed?
>>333020563
nah. burger here, the game fucking sucked. I was even really hyped for the setting too. the game was supposed to be the vidya equivalent of pic related.
>AC2: you save Medeci, he owes you for that and becomes a friend, but not an assassin
>ACU: 'you saved that dude, he's an assassin now, great!'
AC1: huge ass battle in the background but you just talk to Lionheart for a short time and then leave
AC3: you're commander in important battles of the revolution
It's like everyone that knew what AC was about left and the new people just have a checklist
>historical characters: check
>big important history event where the assassins and templars manipulate stuff: check
Assassin's Creed 1 was the best and only good game in the series. II, Brotherhood and Revelations were just Ezio circle jerks. III, IV and Rouge weren't even AC games and Syndicate has SJW bullshit in it. I've been saying this for years and I'll keep saying it until someone convinces me otherwise. Other than the first game, Ass Creed is a garbage franchise
>>333024714
because Ubisoft assumes all murrikans are flag waving eagle clappers I guess.
>>333025480
So is AC redpilled?
>>333025527
sort of used to be. now it's just libtard propaganda.
>>333025447
>>333025447
I can't believe people accept this animation. I mean, it's one thing for people to say "this is what we have for comic book cartoons, so we'll take it" but for people to actually create this and think it is an acceptable product is just unbelievable to me. I know a guy that loves the DC animations. I just don't fucking get it. Even if the story is okay, how can you look past this FUCKING shit.
>>333025615
It's an animation of a dude eating chips.
Calm the fuck down.
>>333025615
Hell if I know, I just posted a random image. Besides, DC can kiss my ass, Marvel is where it's at.
>>333017386
Abstergo is literally Ubisoft
>>333025447
I always thought the combat's core mechanics were better in AC1. Two improved a lot of things, however countering became all the combat was and it was easy as hell. I might be remembering wrong but AC1 had some mobs that wouldn't let you one hit counter them right away. Brotherhood was the being of the end. It delivered an online experience I didn't think I'd enjoy, and I was wrong thankfully. I loved that shit. People seemed to not care about stealth most the time, but smoke bombing/otherwise tricking those same people and caving their face in felt good af. By Revelations it had gotten old, and I couldn't enjoy the online anymore. AC3 felt like a middle finger to anyone that wanted to believe. I dropped it at that point, and I will never pick it up again. I don't care what anyone says about one of the new ones. Ubisoft doesn't get anymore of my money or HDD space.
So, I take that nobody played Syndicate?
>>333026409
Wish I didn't.
>>333026409
i started it, at least it runs unlike Unity
>>333026290
I loved hiding in crowds and watching the other person stalking around then grabbing an NPC, then I'd just casually walk up and fuck them up.
I expected the MP to be shit, I was so wrong.
>>333026778
Aggressive defensive was so fucking fun. You just couldn't do that in revelations. I didn't even brother with it in three when I seen the cash shop.
I hated how you didn't even wear the hood until halfway through the fucking game, and it turns out the Templar was more interesting than the assassin.
That and the rest of the game was generic AAA shovelware garbage.
>Decide to try Syndicate because why not
>The last AC I played was 4, and before that it was Brotherhood
What the LITERAL fuck have they done to Assassin's Creed? I know the original ones played fast and loose with history, but jesus christ what they have now is just embarrassing.
The game that I had always wanted was an AC game set in Victorian Britain, but this is such utter trash I can't bring myself to keep playing.
>>333029623
2007: Oh, a game that pleases my /his/ autism and it's not a strategy game!
2016: what the hell is this...
>>333030130
I don't want to act like some sort of /pol/ faggot but the amount of women and pandering to modern political opinions really makes for a massive disconnect for me.
Also, no woman has ever been "badass" when they look like a model and have terrible voice acting.
>>333029623
How did they fuck up victorian london?
There is so much recorded history from it that they couldn't possibly have gotten something wrong unless they tried.
>>333029623
Can you elaborate? I've only played II and BH.
>>333030489
I think they tried.
>>333030489
>unless they tried
There you go. Hell, a bunch of jokes in AC4 in the codex are:
>Historian: "That wasn't there at that point"
>Dev: "It's cool, we wanna do it, putting it in!"
They've been doing this since the first. It was just easier to fudge stuff in the Crusades to let them do whatever they wanted than it was to fudge it once we started getting closer to the modern era.
>>332993905
>Wake me up.
Open image
>CAN'T WAKE UP
>>333030489
>>333030635
Also, they cared more about Assassin's Creed as a story in it of itself in the first few games than they do now. The head devs and writers have been changed out and now Assassin's Creed is just "Illuminati Adventures in wherever the fuck we feel like it."
>>333030489
The worst is they somehow made Victorian London boring.
Fuck the fryes, so dull and the biggest sin is they have shitty clothes in an ass creed game.
>>333030489
They really tried. You have to remember that history is offensive and needs to be changed.
>>333030846
After playing for half an hour the man is a dick and the woman is boring as fuck. Who approves this shit?
Connor is a fucking retard.
>Let's build my entire personality and motivation around getting revenge for my shitty village burning down
>Halfway through the game let's learn that the guy I'm after isn't actually the one that did it
>Let's go on to kill my best friend, father, and a relatively innocent man in order to help the guy who DID kill my village become leader of the fucking nation
It's like halfway through he realized he was being a fucking IDIOT, but he just kept going in order to try and play it off as all being on purpose. It's like that gif of the guy who falls on his face and just starts doing pushups.
Im half expecting them to get drastic sooner than later and make a futuristic space version of AC4 since that was the last time anyone really liked a AC game and that was mainly because of the exploring and your ship.
Pretty much replace sea with space and boat with spaceship.
>dat feel when the crew won't sing Donkey riding in the future
